    I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

    Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

    Off the Vine Dining was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best rec I have ever received. OVD catered our wedding and served us possibly the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life, along with every other food item that night. Even the dessert was delicious, every ingredient was real and homemade, even the whip cream. Every piece of food served to us was made by hand and it tasted as such. I never expect to eat a lot when I attend a catered event, let alone an event I throw because I have a sensitive stomach. But I was able to eat everything and go back for seconds. If you’re looking for kind, honest and talented people to cater any event you’re having, don’t look anywhere else but Off the Vine Dining! Take a chance in this husband and wife team and give them a call and let the rest be history!
