A Feast for Every Table

Our Thanksgiving Menu features comforting classics and elevated seasonal bites that feel like home with a touch of indulgence. From Traditional Roasted Whole Turkey with Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Stuffing and more to Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts and our famous Pumpkin Pie Cake, we’ve created a spread that’s both nostalgic and delicious!

Our Holiday Menu offers a wide variety of options for family dinners to large-scale corporate soirees and everything in between. Each item on this menu deserves the spotlight, but some highlights include our Famous Palm Sandwiches, Cabernet Braised Short Ribs, Old Fashioned Holiday Glazed Ham, Holiday Fiesta Table, Butternut Squash Tarts, Deep Dish Quiche, and our decadent Holiday Dessert Collection. Whether you’re planning a brunch, luncheon, casual dinner, or elegant evening, we have something that fits the occasion!

No holiday party is complete without beverages that bring people together. Warm up with festive sips like Hot Apple Cider and Hot Chocolate or craft classic cocktails that are sure to make spirits bright with our Top Shelf Bar.

We believe in convenience without sacrificing quality. With pick-up available at Jay’s Catering in Garden Grove or Ellie’s Table Egan House in San Juan Capistrano, plus delivery throughout Orange County, we make it simple to bring our fresh, festive feasts from our kitchen directly to you!
