Monica Hobbs Catering

Just witness the creations of Monica. Very good, tastes great. Chicken with mushrooms amazing, juicy tons of flavor. Salmon perfectly cooked. Veggie wrap, light but full of flavor.
Can wait to book her for our next event!!!

Monica Hobbs and the Nimitz Mansion were the PERFECT combination for our wedding on June 16, 2012. The mansion is beautiful and sweet. Monica’s attention to detail is incredible. Her recommendations for vendors were flawless. And above all the food was AMAZING. Almost every guest told me that they were so impressed with the quality, quantity, and deliciousness of the dinner. Monica was extremely helpful when we planned the menu, making the perfect recommendations and accommodating our requests.
We were married under the cherry tree on the grounds and had about 60 guests. We had passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails on that patio immediately following the ceremony. Dinner was served inside using both of the beautiful dining rooms. We were fortunate enough to have warm weather and had dancing and cake on the patio after dinner, though we would have been equally as happy to have had it in the main room of the mansion.
We could not have imagined a more perfect day, and I know that it would not have been that way without Monica. If you are looking for a beautiful venue for any kind of party where your guests will feel at home, you will have an amazing time and you will be treated to the best event food you’ve ever had, contact Monica Hobbs and she will make your wishes come true. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about our event. I’ve posted pictures.

When it comes down to it, all we have to offer in life is our time and our talent. I have attended several functions at the Nimitz Mansion (breathtaking location!!) and had the pleasure to meet Monica Hobbs. When I decided to throw a celebration of my 40^th birthday this past weekend, there was no doubt that Monica would be the caterer. Thankfully I had given myself enough time to ensure her availability and was DELIGHTED with her creativity. Although the party was at my house (next time, choosing her venue), I was impressed with her ability to just show up and pull it all together. I had only met with her once to discuss my wishes and the rest was handled over the phone. Monica and her staff (especially Becky!) ensured I had nothing to think about other than my guests on the night of the party. The trays were always full, the food was fresh and everything served was an explosion of pure satisfaction in your mouth. And you don’t want to miss out on her signature margaritas! Without a doubt, Monica has an unsurpassed talent and takes her time to make you her priority. She is not the first caterer I have used, but she will be the only one I use for future events. Thank you again, Monica. You made turning 40 into a fabulous and unforgettable night!

Last Saturday I attended an event catered by Monica Hobbs Catering. The food was phenomenal. The risotto balls were amazing, the cheese plates, crab rangoon, prawns, mini tacos. all of it was off the charts! I will definitely have my next event at the Nimitz Mansion (
) so I can be assured excellent food, atmosphere, and service.

I went to the Halloween party at the mansion last year and it was so much more than I expected. We started by going through the scariest haunted house ever and then there was great food, open bar, photo booth, DJ dancing and fire dancers who set my hand on fire! So much fun, you should check it out.

My girlfriends and I were planning for one of our best buds’ Bridal Shower when the M.O.H stumbled across Monica’s Catering at the Nimitz Mansion. All we can say is wow. Monica Hobbs and her staff provided such amazing service, its unheard of these days. She worked with us to make sure the event was personalized according to what we asked for. The service is beyond the best of the best. Monica and her staff were so sweet and accommodating that we could’ve have asked for more.
Ambiance: The Nimitz Mansion is hidden in an obscure location but it is truly a hidden secret. AN amazing hidden secret. There are still remnants of an old school elevator (not used as a closet). It feels like we were in an old plantation mansion. It has a gorgeous back area, peaceful and calm with lots of potential for a small and quaint wedding. Even though the bay bridge is the back drop, you can’t hear the traffic at all.
Food: Monica did a good job with the food. We had a salad with grilled chicken. Sipped on ice tea and it was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy!
Conclusion: When we were planning for the bridal shower, it came down to Nimitz and Neiman Marcus. For the exact same price you get a MEAL! to the back drop of a place that oozes charming personality. Can’t wait for the next encounter. Thank you Monica and company!

I was able to book Monica Hobbs Catering for a romantic dinner for two at the historic Nimitz Mansion on Treasure Island. It was fantastic! From the elegant setting, lighted candles, and background music, came out the endless choices of appetizers to complement our «Happy Hour». I would have been satisfied if that’s all we ate all night. But then the meal started…
The first course, second course, and third course were each incredible on it’s own. The steak melted in our mouths. Just when we thought we were done, an incredible desert followed to top off the evening.
It was truly an incredible night and an «out of this world» meal. Monica Hobbs is a fantastic chef and probably the Bay Area’s best kept secret.

I attended a benefit for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society about a week ago that was catered by Monica Hobbs. The dinner was YUMMY!
We started with an incredible roasted cauliflower soup. My husband does not like cauliflower, and he ate his entire bowl.
The 2^nd and 3^rd courses… a salad with warm sea scallops and then an herb crusted rack of lamb were also great.
For dessert we had a fabulous vanilla bean crème brûlée AND macadamia and caramel chocolate cake.
Each course was paired with wines from local wineries Treasure Island Wines and Blue Cellars. The wine makers were on hand to tell us about the wines before each course, which was an added bonus.
I had a chance to briefly meet Monica before the meal. She seemed really friendly. I would definitely consider her next time I have an event to cater.

My family and I attended a Halloween themed party at the historic Nimitz House on Yerba Buena Island. We had a terrific time. Looking forward to the next event.

I attended an event put on by Monica Hobbs Catering and was thoroughly impressed with the location, food, drinks and wait staff. Monica obviously pays attention to all the details. I’m a very picky eater, but I found the food delicious, and even got to take cookies home with me!
I heartily recommend Monica for any event you are hosting, she will make it effortless for you and your guests will have the time of their lives.
