C'est Magnifique!

by franilla

Saveurs is c'est magnifique tastebud heaven! They catered a friend's dinner party recently and we all went temporarily insane with joy over the delicious dishes served up by authentic French Chef Jean Christophe, he cooked right in front of us! Each dish was unique and superb and delightful. A couple days later I looked up the Saveurs website and discovered that they deliver to an expanded Hollywood area, so I ordered 3 dishes when my sister visited, she wanted to be critical but even she had only superlatives for the food. Fantastic dining experiences both times, looking forward to the next.

• Pros: The most delicious dining in Los Angeles or California or maybe the world.
• Cons: There are no cons.

Amazing at all levels

by rhysryan

My company was hosting a private business dinner were we'd be showing our product to a select number of potential buyers. We knew we didn't want to just rent a room in a restaurant and take out chances. For the expense versus for what we'd get, we weren't sure we'd have the privacy and quality control.

I heard about Saveurs from a friend of mine and decided to host the event at a private house with a elegant setting. Not only did Saveurs help me find the right house, but the chef, J.C., designed the perfect menu. We wanted great food and wine but we also wanted the food not to take away from the product presentation (spaghetti would take too much effort to eat and take out Chinese would be too cheesy).

We started with appetizers and drinks in the backyard, which had a lovely fountain going into a pool. It was a wonderful setting for mingling and getting to know everyone. Every time the waiters came out with a tray, they didn't get but two feet before the tray was empty. J.C. had plenty of food and he kept it coming. Inside, the five course dinner was a smash and the duck, well just unbelievable. We had some very picky entertainment executives. We knew they had been wined and dined by the best. By the end of the evening we had two executives who wanted to hang with us in the kitchen munching on the tiny leftovers. It became more like a small dinner party than a stale, boring product presentation. Oh, and before I forget, J.C. picked out the perfect wine. We also had him introduce the dinner to the guests. It was the little touches that added that something special.

I have to say that I've done these types of events and general holiday parties before. I've had some great chefs, but no one has been as creative and easy to deal with as Saveurs. They even came with us to help pick out the rental furniture, plates, glasses and other tableware that we needed. Thank you for helping make our product preview such a wonderful success

• Pros: Everything was perfect; food, wine, service, attention to detail, cleanup

A must use to enjoy your own parties!!!!

The food was amazing. The relaxed nature of Chef Jean Christophe made him a pleasure to deal with, when as a host I can be a bit high strung. His staff in organizing the particulars of the events from the china to the menu to the staffing was fantastic. He is a true crowd pleaser with his explanations of the fare and his utter charm. Our event was a formal sit down of five courses for 16 people and the food came out with no feelings of being rushed (vs. a restaurant experience) hot, delicious and a true unique dining experience. I can't say enough nice things....If you want to enjoy your next intimate dinner or large crowd event make sure Jean Christophe is the first thing on your menu.

• Pros: Every detail
• Cons: None I can think of
