Table Nectar

This crew is amazing. Delicious food, very accommodating, and very professional. They even rallied when our crew had to switch locations at the last minute ! Thanks Table Nectar

We had our sons rehearsal dinner here on Saturday and it was incredible! Great service and super easy to work with. Jenny was fantastic!

Planned my wedding long distance (Dallas, TX) and working with Jenny was such a dream! From choosing our menu options, to last minute add on’s for our bar– the whole team was so wonderful. The day of our (small) wedding, they had no objections to being crammed into a little kitchen. Even though we had set up a buffet for our guests, they served my husband and I which I thought was so sweet. But had all of that gone terribly… it still would have been worth it because the food is just killer.
We set up our dinner without having a tasting because we just didn’t have the time. I could not have imagine anything better. The crab cake apps were delicious. For our entrees we picked a ricotta and olive ravioli and tri-​tip with a chimichurri sauce that our guests are still talking about. The pear salad, fingerling potatoes and asparagus with orange zest were the perfect accompaniment. I wish I hadn’t been so caught up in excitement and nerves and had committed the meal to memory in every detail!
Bottom line: awesome food, great service.

What a fabulous job Table Nectar did in catering our daughter’s wedding this past weekend! We are from the Bay Area but decided to have the wedding at the Empire Mine up in Grass Valley — where the groom is from. We researched farm to table caterers who serve that area and were excited about the menu choices on Table Nectar’s website. They hold their tastings at Manzanita Kitchen and Events in Diamond Springs — a beautiful venue for an indoor reception or corporate event. After the first bite, we were sold. Every selection was tastefully seasoned, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented.
Because the Empire Mine is a state park and open for visitors during the day, they allow only two hours for set-​up. With limited time, everyone from Table Nectar was efficient, organized and a pleasure to work with in making our vision a reality (and we had a lot of props and detail!).
We knew the food would be great, but even our high expectations were surpassed! The salads were fresh and colorful, vegetables were excellent — crisp/​tender, the tri tip and chicken were perfectly grilled and seasoned and the chimichurri sauce was a delicious addition.
But a great caterer does more than provide fabulous food — it was an incredible pleasure to work with Kim, Andy and Jenny and their staff. Jenny was our first contact and event manager and is a joy — enthusiastic, fun and on top of things. Kim and Andy are not only amazing chefs but gave us incredible confidence in what they would (and did) provide for us. They not only served amazing food but they were also wonderful in making sure the reception was stress-​free for us. The staff was great and our guests felt taken care of. We trusted each of them, and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our daughter’s wedding. And our guests did not stop raving about the food!

My husband and I had an event catered by Table Nectar in Diamond Springs. I can highly recommend Kim and Andy if you are considering a caterer. Their food is delicious and full of flavor! Everything from appetizers to dessert was praised by our guests and the service was terrific too. Besides, Kim and Andy quietly go about preparing great food in your home, serve it and then do all the clean-​up! We had a wonderful time enjoying the food and the company of our guests without having to worry about a thing! We will not hesitate to use Table Nectar again! On a scale from 1 to 10 they are a 10 !

We had a rehearsal dinner at our home for 30 people last week. We were originally going to do all the cooking ourselves but at the last minute decided to see if we could get it catered. This was the best decision we made!!! Kim and Andy were incredible to work with & were more than willing to accommodate our last minute needs. The food was AMAZING… some of the best food I’ve ever had… and plentiful. Everyone (including several men with big appetites) had seconds and there was still leftover food. The menu Kim put together was very creative yet approachable. Kim displayed everything simply and beautifully. My biggest regret is that we weren’t able to use Table Nectar for the wedding too (we had already booked another business several months prior to meeting Kim & Andy). We are so happy that Table Nectar has relocated to the Placerville area. We will definitely be using them again!

I am so excited to be writing this Review.
We had the experience of Table Nectar catering our Wedding last month, and what a joyous occasion to have them be part of.

There is no way to add all the compliments I want to bestow upon them.
Table Nectar tickles your senses, all of them.
Kim and Andy take food to another level. They have mastered it, wrapped magic into it, and taught me so much over the past nearly 3 years I have known them.
Wish I could give them 10 stars. They more then Deserve it.
If you are lucky enough to have Table Nectar serving at your special occasion, you will never look elsewhere again!

This is the best food I’ve ever had! I really enjoy quality food, and most places just aren’t up to providing fresh, organic, local food– much less with nourishing vegetarian or vegan options. Not only do Kim and Andy do that, they do it with heart– as though they really care about all 150 (or whatever number) of people they are serving.
Not only is the food unbelievably delicious, I have talked with Kim and she makes sure to use quality oils, healthy fats, and takes extra steps to soak and sprout some ingredients before cooking. She also orders food from a local CSA or local vendor when doing events far away. Its inspiring to see a company taking every effort to do the right thing– from organic sourcing to compostable plates, to having a kitchen full of people who look like they are enjoying themselves while making my food… I’m so glad they are out there!
Lastly– and this is huge for so many people right now– Table Nectar offers vegan gluten free options– ones that are so good no one would miss the wheat. It’s rare I can say I find food that feels truly nourishing for the body and spirit, and I can say with great thanks that Kim and Andy provide both. The best of the best– thank you!

I cannot say enough nice things about Table Nectar.
I arrange lunches for 40 people in my office of varying food needs.
Andy & Kim were able to create beautiful and delicious lunches that satisfied all — meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and celiacs… all in one sitting.
They made what I call «sneaky» food– food that is so darned delicious and bursting with flavor, you don’t realize that its totally healthy too… which is great around my office!
Table Nectar provided us with amazing meals that worked within our modest budget, and were prompt, friendly and very easy to communicate with.
Highest of recommendations for this small and wonderful company.

Kim and Andy totally MADE Burning Man this year. Anyone who can set up a full-​on catering op in the middle of the desert and serve delicious, fresh food for a week straight (for this vegan no less) has super powers. I can only imagine what they can do with a few modern conveniences at hand. Highly recommended.

TN dominated our meals at Burning Man this year. Killer grub, locally & sustainably sourced. Talented staff, able to smile, have fun, serve a huge event, and able to thrive in ambiguity and complexity.

Mark my words: this young company is going to be around for a long time. I had their food for the first time last night at my friend’s wedding. It was unbelievable. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and every dish’s flavor enhanced the other flavors. This meal kept getting better with every bite.
I must have sounded like a deranged lunatic to the other people at my table as I would not shut up about how good the food was. I mean, everyone else was enjoying the food and commenting too, but I really couldn’t stop talking about it.
Seriously, this was the best meal I’ve had in months, if not years. And I love food, and I’m picky. Table Nectar for president!

Table Nectar catered our camp out/​construction event over the course of two weeks. The price was very reasonably for the quantity/​quality, and I’ve never eaten that well/​healthy. (I’d never even heard of quinoa.) I can’t imagine how difficult it was for them to consistently serve us fresh fruits and vegetables at the remote site.
One day I returned to camp sun burnt and dehydrated. Andy immediately sat me down, cracked open a young coconut and told me to drink. I’d never tried them before, and now they are a hot weather staple for me.
I didn’t think I liked sundried tomatoes ‘til I had some that Kim dried herself that were grown in her mother Cindy’s garden.
I’m also a big fan of their sprouted grains hot breakfast cereal.

Table Nectar makes awesome food. They catered our company anniversary party and after that… They have produced several amazing events with us. You can be sure that they are ON IT! Everything will come together and you can be sure that the food is covered… and it is the best food you have ever had.

Table Nectar did a fantastic job catering Priceless, a three-​day event in Sierras. The food was delicious, fresh, and kept event-​goers energized for the whole time. It’s been hard, coming back to the real world and trying to keep the lightness my body developed from eating Table Nectar’s food. I wish you guys had a restaurant!

OMG, I have consistently been blown away by Kim and Andy’s food and desserts at Ecstatic Dance. Extremely affordable prices and I know I’m getting the best quality ingredients possible.
I normally need some animal protein with my meals but every time I’ve had a meal from them I feel completely nourished and fulfilled. They put sooo much Love and intention into their food it oozes out in an explosion of sensations in your mouth.
I would definitely choose their catering services for any retreat or workshop I would be involved in the future and highly suggest them to anyone needing catering for any type of event.

Andy and Kim catered the closing cast party for our show, and were FABULOUS in every way: extremely responsive to my budget concerns, provided a range of delicious options to choose among, flexible regarding timing and a strange physical environment, able to accommodate food allergy issues — I can’t say enough about how great they were to work with.
And, let it just be said, the food was FA-​BU-​LOUS! Even the devoted meat-​eaters in the cast were won over by the «I can’t believe it’s vegan!» food simply because it was so utterly delicious, aromatic, beautiful to look at, and satisfying in every sense.
If there’s justice in the world, Table Nectar will have a VERY successful business, and I’ll be sorry I posted this great review because it’ll be too hard to get on their calendar for all the future events I’m already planning to have them cater. NO reason to go anywhere else! These guys are terrific!

My mother was a health food freak but not the best cook in the world. Sadly, this upbringing made me very wary of all things vegan, raw, healthy, organic, etc. That was before I had the great pleasure of being at a photo shoot catered by Table Nectar. It was simply the most delicious, flavorful food ever.
Not only that, but Andy and Kim are incredibly generous in sharing their wealth of knowledge about nutrition, nourishing body and brain at the same event!
And there’s more! They’re totally professional and efficient as well.
So I’m here to second everything said by my fellow Unilocalers. If you want your special occasion to be ultra-​special.. . book Table Nectar. You’ll be glad you did.

Perhaps I don’t reflect Table Nectar’s «ideal client» — I confess to having a Big Mac, fries and diet coke within hours of tasting the first concoction I tasted from Kim and Andy. But call me converted! Their food is imaginative, soulful, delectable and satisfying. My taste buds were thrilled, my stomach was even happier. I wish I had the resources to have them cook for me every day.
Professionally, Table Nectar has it totally together, too. For ten years I have produced events of all sizes and shapes, and catering is a challenging sport, er, business. But I was impressed with their setup, their customer service and their personalized attention to each person’s dietary needs or taste preferences.

i love table nectar so much that i want to keep them all to myself. i want to brag and brag about them but i just don’t want to share.
andy has catered several shoots that i’ve produced and his food has bowled everyone over every single time. (was that a pun?) he makes this unbelievably healthy stuff that leaves you completely invigorated. and it’s so flavorful. even the crew members who only eat simple ordinary food were amazed that healthy food could taste so good.
the presentation is beautiful, the menu is highly creative and the price is right. i try to use andy every chance i get. but don’t hog him up because i got him first!
