DNL Catering

I have been using DNL Catering for the past 4 yrs. Food & Service were GREAT —
reasonable price and Steve is very helpful in anyway to cater your request. I have
been using him every year for my company’s meeting. I am very happy with his service and food and will continue to do so. His scone and brownies are to die for — and most of his food are all good and plenty. Don’t hesitate to order. I work for a high tech company and I am very pleased with his service.

I was hesitant contracting with Steve /​DNL Catering as his Unilocal reviews aren’t all that ‘current’, but he provided me with a few current references — which I contacted…
I hired Steve /​DNL to provide the «Homestyle Breakfast» for my work group of ’50 men’ last week… There was plenty of food, the food was great, and the (Juan’s) scones were DELICIOUS!
Based on this experience, I would certainly use Steve /​DNL for any future catering needs!

We had our corporate breakfast and lunch catered by DNL Catering and it was a hit! My favorite dish was Chicken Piccata. Steve and Becky are friendly and easy to work with. Their staff is professional and arrived on time. We are looking forward to our Thanksgiving party catered from Steve this year!

We had a little gathering (136 people) for our staff and turn to DNL catering to provide the food which was delicious and with nice portion. Not only the food was delicious, but the person taking care of the buffet was very nice and helpful. We have worked with DNL catering often these past few years, and have always been very pleased with their services… THumbs Up!

Steven and Rebecca made ordering and planning a sinch. They were both very knowledgeable and courteous. Prices were right and they made billing easy also. I was not at the event to try the food, but I heard it was great!

I needed a caterer for an event in Milpitas for some hors d’ouerves and beverages, and was on a tight budget.
DNL made it very simple.
They were very accessible and friendly, and were able to comply with my numerous calls constantly changing the terms of the order. It was no problem for them. I finally got a set budget from my clients and DNL very quickly came up with a perfect menu for my event that was sufficient and fit the budget.
Stephen and Rebecca, the owners, run a very good business and I will definitely be coming back in the future.

We were at a wedding where DNL Catering was the caterer.
It was a very intimate wedding. We didn’t even know there was going to be a reception until the night before.
My hubby was recruited to help a bit so we were in the food area while the caterer was setting up.
This is what the bride and groom chose to serve: (**please see below where I listed the proper information of what was served.)
Chicken skewers — awesome, just the perfect amount of flavor, and cooked to perfection
Meat balls — good, the sauce was a sweet sauce
Phyllo dough cups with brie (we think) and preserves on top — this was soooo good. It was the perfect amount of cheese, dough, and sweet. Most everyone in line was just taking one of everything because we wanted to make sure that everyone had a chance so I only got one of these, but they were the talk of the table. YUM!
Bruscheta topped with a tomato slice, a slice of cheese, and basil leaf — It was yummy. Often times bruscheta is so crunchy that when you bite into it is shatters. .. well this had sat the perfect amount of time because it was not soggy, and not so hard that it shattered. I actually was able to bite it and eat it properly. I think this was a good idea to put Insalata Caprese on the brusheta instead of the typical chopped tomatoes because those have a tendency to fall off the bruscheta onto my lap.
Crab Dip — I don’t eat crab so I didn’t try it — people were saying it was good.
Crackers — Assortment of water crackers
A tray of cubed salami and cheese, olives, artichoke hearts, and pickles — what is there to say about this? (Nothing, if was good.)
Cookies — I had one, it was good, moist
And chocolate covered strawberries — The biggest strawberries I have ever seen in my life. There were some that were (my) fist size. HUGE berries! I didn’t have one, but I heard they were not that sweet.
All in all, I liked it. I liked it enough to look at the invoice to get the name of the company and the price of what was served. I got the name thinking I could use them, didn’t dawn on me that I could Unilocal them until later.
**04.29.2010I actually looked at the website and here is the menu items with their proper names:
Lemon Sesame Chicken Skewers
Cocktail Meatballs in Sweet & Sour Sauce
Brie & Raspberry in Phillo
Antipasto Platter
Real Crab Dip with Fancy Crackers
Crostini Traditional with Basil, Roma & Mozzarella
Chocolate Dipped Dry Fruit
Holiday Cookies

I would totally reccomend going with DNL catering. Especially if you’re new at catering for large amonts of people and need help! I hosted a company BBQ for 400 employees this summer and DNL did the catering. I was brand new and didn’t know anything about feeding that many people. Steve from DNL was sooo patient with me and my 50 million questions. After my numerous mind changes, we put together the perfect menu for my employees. The BBQ was a huge success and the employees couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was, especially compared to the year before. (we had gone with a very well known bay area BBQ Catering co. that shall remain nameless.) We even saved about a grand from the year before. Oh yeah and the staff was pretty friendly too.

Rebecca has contacted me via email and I thank her for the note. To be clear this is my personal opinion based on their service at the organization I work for. As I stated the food is always ok and the service is acceptable She is correct they did not give us hotdogs, it was burgers, veggie burgers and chicken. IN MY OPINION and mine alone, I do not believe they are a GREAT catering company, they are fine and per the rating (I’ve had better). I’m sorry they don’t agree with me but I assure anyone reading this, they are indeed the caterer we’ve used unless there is another DNL Catering in Milpitas CA.

I wanted to commend DnL Catering for providing delicious entrees for our event. Everyone enjoyed the food. We received great feedbacks from our staff regarding the BBQ menu. I also want to acknowledge the outstanding customer service we received from all DnL staff involved. Their follow-​ups and the attention to details were most impressive. They were also very accommodating to our special requests. I would definitely recommend them for the next office/​project event.
Steve and Rebecca… thank you for helping to make our event a successful one.

My company and I are very pleased with DNL Catering. Everything about them is wonderful. They are well-​organized, polite, and the food is great. Their prices are reasonable too. I would like to recommend the grilled portobella mushrooms for the vegetarians out there. It is a great substitute for meat. The vegetarians at my work love it. I have used DNL Catering 2 years in a row now. Once at my previous employer and once at my current employer. I am using DNL again for our company picnic this upcoming July. I am planning to use DNL for many more years to come! =]
