caterer in Palo Alto area

[luciemom]

Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced caterer for a casual birthday party for about 50 people in October? In our area (Oakland-Berkeley) it would be something like Market Hall or Rick & Ann's, but I don't know what to suggest for the new-to-Palo Alto couple.

I didn't attend the party, but some friends used Back a Yard in Menlo Park for a 50th birthday party in their backyard for about that size group. One big plus was the variety of vegetarian dishes available. They ordered the food and picked it up, no wait staff. Everyone was happy.

I'm interested in this as well -- hosting a post-wedding brunch in October at my mom's house in Palo Alto and need a caterer for about 50 people.
