Find a Caterer in Manhattan Beach

Great place to eat and talk. Great people. Unique and yet inviting environment. Very comfortable surroundings. FANTASTIC hot chocolate.

They did a pop up tonight at Absolution in Torrance. BBQ is my first love. Sadly in California, BBQ is a pale comparison to the joints I can have regularly in Houston. This BBQ can hold its own! First authentic Texas BBQ I've had in California. They even had Beef short rib! Nobody serves those! Filled my plate with a GIANT beef rib, creamed corn and mac n cheese. Heck even the sides were good. Lots of places (even in Texas) will have pretty good meat but insult you with lack luster sides. Hope they open a restaurant or a food truck.

Shaka Braai did an amazing job catering my sons birthday. Everything went great and Mark and his team took care of everything. I got tons of compliments on how good the food was. The service was wonderful, they are extremely professional and friendly. I will get Shaka Braai for all my catering occasions. Thanks Shaka Braai!!!

I worked with Meg on a HUGE NYE/Wedding Party. She was focused, professional, and determined to make sure the event one of a kind. I was already impressed with her food, but now I know for sure she's the real deal. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her for any event that needs catering.

I went on a very busy day but the service was still super quick! Beers were cold and delicious, my whole table of 4 enjoyed delicious juicy burgers and watched some sports. Had a great time, the only improvement I would suggest would be to add some AC in there- it sure was hot in there!!

I was looking for a "different" way to throw a surprise birthday for my girl and this fit the bill. Chef Dion met my friends at my house while I took her out for a few hours and by the time we returned he had a full sushi bar set up with delicious rolls made to order. He was flexible, gracious, professional and well worth the price and my gf and her friends were delighted. Thanks Chef D. for helping me make her birthday an outstanding event!

Can always count on a good sandwich it's a Hidden Gem you have to look for it but it's worth finding in the view of the beach and the pool is absolutely stunning great place to have a sandwich and a cold beer for lunch I think I'll head back over there this week

We have used Critic's Choice Catering several times over the past few years, both for our corporate and private parties. This last event was a "Pirate Party", with a Caribbean theme. Lorraine at Critic's Choice Catering helped us design a menu that had great island flavors, from the passed-around appetizers to the island-style buffet: chicken satays with peanut sauce, shrimp and pineapple skewers, crab wontons, flank steak, snapper with mango salsa, coconut rice, black beans, and plantains. The service was prompt and very efficient. And, Lorraine even brought a few island-style decorations for the buffet table! We could not have been happier.

Was just here for a wedding. The venue is right on the water with a great view of the ocean, palos verdes and the beach to the south. The music sounded good, there was never a wait for a drink, and the food was great. Loved the ahi tuna tacos. One thing I didn’t love was that it was really cold in the venue. It was a cold night, though, only about 60 degrees out. Nice staff

Best place to eat in all hermosa beach. Friendly ppl. Gerardo best in the kitchen. Benji at deli n gonzalo specialist in salads n sauces....

This is one of the best spots in South Bay for Brazilian BBQ. The tri-top is killer, but the BBQ chicken will melt your face off. If you dig on shrimp, I highly recommend the appetizer called "Drew's Prawns" - i don't know what they put the in the sauce, but I wouldn't be mad if you pushed me into a pool of it. (burp)
