Alligator Pear Catering

We ordered boxed lunches from Alligator Pear for a bowling/​birthday party. The food was delicious! This was not your dry sandwich, chips, and apple lunch, but beautifully prepared and presented, foodie food,
from the mahogany chicken with roast shallot cream sauce, lemon and herb crusted salmon with pineapple salsa, to the pretzel bread with white bean caponata everything was exceptional, fresh, healthy and delicious. It was a last minute order and although they faced an exceptionally busy weekend, Collette was fabulous to work with and very accomodating. All I can say is; «great job» would not hesitate to use this service again!

Excellent food, presentation, and service. Just came back from a party for the faculty of UCLA’s department of Pathology. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. My son and I loved the food and deserts. Absolutely was delicious and presented so lovely.
The food tasted fresh, tasty, and healthy.
I met the chef in passing and noticed the name of the catering company on his shirt. I just looked them up on the web, and I will be calling this company to do my catering as well.
Alligator Pear Catering is a first class team and very professional.

Alligator Pear catered our wedding and they were beyond exceptional! They really worked with our budget and they came up with a menu that was unbeatable.
Their food was so delectable our guests ate so much they weren’t able to go to our after party because they were too full and had to go rest. Their salmon was a real favorite, as was the 6 hour merlot braised beef.
All of their tray passed hors d’oeuvres were incredible. The Kobe sliders are still receiving rave reviews from our guests after a month from the big day.
Monique, Abigail, Bud and the whole team are amazing. They go above and beyond. Their quality is so exceptional and they think of all the little things. They are the BEST!

Bud and Abi catered our wedding on Valentines Day and it was amazing. All our guests said it was the best food they have had at any wedding. My only complaint is that I didn’t eat enough of the food.

I used Alligator Pear to cater my wedding and, wow! How amazing they truly are. Bud provides phenomenal service — from our food tasting to even helping design and word our wedding menus. He is so attentive, organized, communicative and super super sweet. The food is unreal. Just about every one of our guests has commented on how amazing our food was — the best «wedding» food they’ve had. The presentation was beautiful, and everything that my husband and I envisioned was completely executed. and more!

Had Alligator Pear do an event for 225 people in Tarzana recently. Although our event had several challenges, Collette & team were able to be flexible to work with our committee all the way. The menu was fantastic & everyone raved about the food.
Salad of baby greens was marvelous, couscous was delightful. Lightly breaded chicken breast medallions with lovely mustard sauce & very popular salmon option.
Fantastic platters of roasted veggies were a hit. Nice selection of cookies, brownies & filled cupcake balls topped it off.
Great people to work with & brought everything in for our budget. Highly recommend.

A friend of mine (a Senior VP of special events at Sony Pictures) referred me to Alligator Pear for my mother-​in-​laws 75^th birthday party (I was very anxious as my mother-​in-​law is like Martha Stewart and expects perfection in all things). I called Abi and Bud at Alligator Pear and discussed my vision with them over the course of 3 weeks they created the most impressive and beautiful event I have ever thrown. The florals were stunning, unique, completely on point with our color scheme for our event, the food was delicious, creative, «the best apps I’ve ever had» as several people stated at the event. the linens and flatware were gorgeous, the bartendar and staff were all friendly, personable, calm, efficient, diligent and effective. If there was a hiccup or problem to be solved — Hector, the manager, was on top of it immediately and already providing a solution before I had a chance to worry! I highly recommend Alligator Pear for any event in where you want your guests to leave feeling fulfilled, happy, pampered and joyful! Thanks so much for making me shine and providing my mother-​in-​law with a meaningful and elegant birthday celebration (that rivaled the elegance of a wedding reception) that she will never forget!

Used them for a catering event at work for 70 people and it was a big success! We were even able to try a sample of the kind of food they provide before we decided on them. There was a lot of food leftover and people were happy to take some home. The individuals who dropped off and picked up were sooooo nice. If it was up to me, I would use them all the time.

Phenomenal service from the planning stages all the way through to the delicious food, friendly, intelligent and hard working staff, amazing display and attentive service. We had a party for a hundred plus people and they brought their A game– Bud and his crew were the picture of professionalism and charm. Won’t be having a huge party again for awhile but when we do, they are the first call we make.
