The Painted Table

We used The Painted Table for a buffet after a funeral service. The presentation and
food were exceptional! The staff was courteous, friendly, and made a hard day much easier
for our family. We will definitely use them again! Thank you Painted Table!

We were fortunate enough to have The Painted Table cater my folk’s 50^th Anniversary party. Stephanie and Denise were so knowledgable and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. They assisted us in planning the perfect meals from the appetizers to the salad and entrée… everything was spot on. Stefanie showed up ahead of the rest of the crew on the day of the event to get an idea of the venue and make sure everything was set for their arrival. Shortly after, members of The Painted Table team started to come in… lots of them! Within minutes, our kitchen was transformed into what looked like a well planned restaurant kitchen. Jeromie and the other chefs worked tirelessly on making our entire menu from scratch entirely in my kitchen… everything was fresh and cooked on site! From the minute our guests began to arrive, the servers were on the move, a few of them even went above and beyond and assisted guests who were unable to get out to the tables on their own. Per the schedule we’d previously set, the timing was perfect and the food was absolutely phenomenal! Everyone of them absolutely went above and beyond what we’d expected all while maintaining professionalism and a fantastic sense of humor! Needless to say, we’re still receiving rave reviews from our guests and will absolutely call on The Painted Table for other events!

My husband and I chose The Painted Table as our wedding reception venue in addition to catering the event. We had a brunch reception with wonderful pastries, eggs benedict, yogurt parfaits, an espresso and mimosa bar and lots of other yummy food! From beginning to end, the staff was a pleasure to work with! Stephanie usually responded to my emails and phone calls within an hour, always with kind words and reassurance when I started to get stressed about planning. :) Denise met us the evening before the wedding to allow us to set up, and had wonderful suggestions for us, then made sure everything ran like clockwork on the morning of the reception. Jeromie was so fun throughout the entire process; we had complete confidence in his and Rod’s ability to come up with a creative, gorgeous menu, and he worked our espresso bar himself! Having gone to culinary school himself, my husband felt the food at our reception needed to be a priority, and The Painted Table did not disappoint! We were so pleased with the selections that were made, with the beautifully-​decorated venue, and the service. We would definitely recommend The Painted Table to anyone looking for an outstanding experience and look forward to using them again ourselves.

Words can’t even express how happy I am with the service I received from your staff for the Macias Party, Saturday December 13, 2014.
The servers were professional, friendly and very efficient. The prep staff and chefs were meticulous about the food and presentation. You were amazing cooking the Paella in front of the guest. They were very intrigued. Isaac and Denise were very detailed with my selections. Stephanie… where do I begin? I appreciate her so much, she responds promptly to my calls and request. Her follow through is impeccable, she is a great asset to your business. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stephanie and the rest of your staff.
Now for the food… the guest loved the hand passed appetizers and champagne, it was that special touch that raised the party to a higher level. The Paella was fabulous and the dessert were delicious. (My favorite was the chocolate raspberry squares) The cake pops were so festive. They flowed with the theme of a winter wonderland.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making Dr. Macias’s party a huge success!!! You provide only the highest quality customer service!
I would highly recommend you and your staff to future clients.

My wedding was last weekend and I wanted to serve duck so I called around a most catering companies nervously said they could probably do that but the painted table got excited at just the mention of duck. My next criteria was that it had to be the most anti wedding menu we could come up with. No dry chicken and steak with mashed potatoes and overlooked veggies at my wedding. As a classically trained chef I have standards and the painted table not only meet each challenge but exceeded all of out expectations.
When the big day came and Jerome and the crewed showed up and saw how well we decorated our tables he actually left go buy more stuff to decorate the buffet with (and it was amazing to start with)
Not only did we do a crostini bar and a buffet but we did an action station buffet so there were chefs cooking the food at the buffet. But we also did plated meals for the wedding party. No mater what the challenge was the painted table was excited about it.
While doing our rounds at the wedding to talk with out guests there was not one person there that wasn’t amazed by all of the food. Even the salads were getting rave reviews. We had people trying foods they have never tried and enjoying it.
If you have any event that needs catering then the painted table should be #1 on your speed dial I know they are on mine.

I’m over 60, eaten a lot of burgers in my time. My daughter is getting married and wanted a burger bar, I thought it was silly, but it’s her wedding. After being invited to a tasting at The Painted Table I have to say, my thoughts changed completely. I have never tasted food so good. The burger was the best I had ever eaten. They took their time with us, gave us an array of foods to try and assured us that the display at the wedding would be great, and with all the reviews I have read, I believe it. If you have a wedding or any event planned I highly recommend the painted table!

If you are looking for amazing food at an affordable price, The Painted Table is a sure bet. The Painted Table recently catered our wedding and I have to say it was some of the best food I have EVER eaten. The quality in food and service far supersedes their prices. The Painted Table met with us at our mountain venue prior to the wedding which eased my mind incredibly, knowing that they knew the layout of the wedding, the itinerary of the night and the location of the venue really put my mind at ease. That level of effort is really rare in todays business world and on such an important day it was great to know I didn’t have to worry about the food at all.
Not only was the food and service excellent but the staff at The Painted table went above and beyond in helping my coordinator finish setting up our wedding. This is NEVER required with a catering company and the fact that they were willing to do whatever it took to make my day special means so much to me. They are more than just AMAZING food, they are professional, friendly and super hard working.
If you have an event that you need catered the right way, don’t waste time on money from companies who wont deliver great food or great service, I will not be using any other catering company from now on and I recommend them to anybody for whatever size event!

The Painted Table. with Rodney and Jeromie at the helm of a fine group of chefs and staff. have been able to add a new dimension to catering in the Fresno area. Having been a part of several events that they have catered, they provided tasty and quite diverse styles of menus… including «burger bars» where guests can choose their burger and bun. and then «pile» on cheeses, carmelized onions, mushrooms, choice of sauces. and the ever favorite. bacon!, elegant appetizers («prawns on the lawn» displayed on skewers in wheat grass”. such a favorite!)… great brunches (French toast bread pudding. yum!), buffet and sit down dinners. Not only do they provide savory dishes, they «fine tune» each event to fit the clients needs.
They catered my sister’s vow renewal reception two years ago and the guests still are talking about the chinese chicken salad… served in «take out» boxes with chop sticks. And the lamb lollipops. And the chicen salad in brioche. And the sliders. And. And. And… Only to be topped off with home made brownies and root beer floats! Everything was so tasty, artfully displayed and served in a timely manner.
We are now looking forward to The Painted Table catering my niece’s wedding in May. Salmon with fresh tomato «salsa», short ribs with bulgar pilaf and a vegetarian lasagna (tons of mushrooms!) are just a few things of the menu. We can’t wait!
And. if we are not spoiled enough. they are doing the brunch the next morning! Candied bacon, two kinds of bread pudding (savory and sweet!), home made granola… just some of my favorite things!
They are the best!

I am a marketing consultant in the Los Angeles area. We hired The Painted Table as our catering company for a morning event taking place in Fresno and I cannot say enough good things about this company. Anthony took fantastic care of us, meeting with us and speaking with us several times leading up to the event. He worked with us in collaboration with KSB Company and helped us create a very cohesive theme. The presentation and professionalism of the staff was perfection. And the food was delicious… and that’s what it really comes down to. The food was amazing. The guests would not stop talking about it! I would recommend The Painted Table and Anthony in a HEARTBEAT! P. S. Try the candied bacon. No… really.

We used The Painted Table for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend and was greatly disappointed with the quality of the food, the service, and their accounting methods. Imagine my embarrassment when our guests were not served until 9:30pm. They waited TWO HOURS to be served. Some of our guests had to leave before being served dinner. The food was not what we taste tested and ordered. The short ribs turned out to be one short rib, not the two large or three small we contracted for. They received either overcooked chicken or undercooked that was still pink in the middle. Again, this chicken was to be airplane style (bone in) and we did not get what we contracted for. Some chicken was boneless and some with a bone in. All food was served room temp, nothing was hot. We had 11 guests that did not show up, if all of our guest had shown up, there would not have been enough food. They do not prepare 5% to 10% overage of food, as most carters do and as stated in their contract. The only leftovers were the mashed potatoes. The food was very important to us and we did not skimp on price, it turned out to be less than desirable.
The Painted Table does not have a trained serving staff, they use a temp service. The person in charge had never done a wedding before, nobody knew what they were doing. Thank goodness we had a wedding planner that saw what was happening and she jumped in a got things moving.
Watch their accounting, it is arbitrary!
Instead of going on and on about The Painted Table, let me just say I have had many catered events before and this was by far the worst service I have ever experienced.

I have had the privilege of enjoying two fundraiser dinners prepared by the amazing chefs at the Painted Table. They were both unique and amazing. The food choices outstanding, the family style service and exceptionally pallet pleasing food was very memorable. The one meal prepared off site was delicious and the second was served at their N. Wishon Location. Both examples of their versatility and unique catering ability. Loved both experiences, will utilize their services in the future. The whole experience was five star through and through. Thank you for providing a wonderful dinner experience. Not your typical fund raiser.

They are such an amazing team to work with, I had a tight budget and they just worked their creative magic to pull off an amazing delicious catering experience.

I am currently working with the painted table for my wedding, and I cannot complain about a thing! They have been absolutely amazing! They’re incredibly easy to work with, and have met every wish I have had thus far.
We’ll see what happens on the actual wedding day, but if they’ve been this great so far, I don’t see how they could suddenly get worse.
Edit:
Now that I’ve actually had my event I thought I would update this review.
If I ever do another event in Fresno that requires catering I’m using the painted table. They were fantastic! I didn’t have to worry about a thing when they were there, and I had my own server. He made sure my seat was always ready, and my plates were cleared as soon as I was done.
The only negative thing I have to say, and it doesn’t even take away from anything was I didn’t get any of the leftovers. Which sucks, because I paid for it and I know there was leftovers.

We used this company for a recent graduation party. I wish there was a 3.5 stars option, because I feel that would be most appropriate.
For starters, there was some miscommunication regarding when setup would occur the day before. Which, would have been fine had the caterers not arrived a solid hour late the day of the party. Apparently they had multiple other parties that day. Everything got done and the table looked lovely, however the all the food did not make it to the table until about 45 minutes after the party started. This was a bit disappointing.
Once they arrived though, the service was good. Everyone was very presentable and friendly. They kept the dirty plates cleared and food full. My mom also commented that prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we got compared to past caterers we have used.
The food overall was a pretty mixed bag. Some things were great, others not so much.
The food we ordered:
Thai Chicken Skewers
Sliders
Chicken Empanadas
Chicken and Waffle Cones
Crackers with assorted dips (the hummus was wonderful!)
Tri-​tip faux sushi
Shrimp and Grits cups
Fresh veggies and fruit skewers
The shrimp and grits cups and the chicken and waffle cones were both excellent, as were the dips and crackers. Everything else was just okay. The meat on the chicken skewers was pretty dry, the sauce was good though. The chicken in empanadas was also very dry, and not very flavorful. The pastry was nice and flaky though. For the faux sushi, the meat was great but the rice extremely underdone. Very chewy.
We would use them again in the future as the dishes we did like really were wonderful. Even though they arrived late, once they were here the service really was excellent. All the food was creative and presented beautifully, some of it just could have been prepared a little better.

my daughter’s school used this catering service for the gala party last year. I had bought a table for eight guests. After we had a dinner, we all got sick from the food. I felt so bad to my guests, some of them had to call in sick for next day. I don’t recommend this company.

I attended an event catered by them, so I don’t know how it is to deal with them or their price level, but their food… amazing!!! Beautiful and creative dishes and presentation, the sambuca shrimp were to die for, cooked to perfection. They set up a «chips & dips» station, the dips were very different from anything I have had before, so many different flavours perfectly combined and balanced. The service was outstanding too, a lot of people making sure plates were refilled on a regular basis.
