The Heirloom Chef — Local services in Oakland

After researching caterers in the East Bay we selected The Heirloom Chef for the consistently great ratings and the photos of their food and we were thrilled with the choice! The booking and menu selection with Chef Erika (owner) was really simple and quick and Chef Jeanelle and Chef Dan created and served a late winter dinner for my sister's birthday that every guest was thrilled with (especially the b'day girl). Their options are not plain or boring but full of flavor, sometimes a bit unusual (which is good!), and always presented with flair. If you are throwing a party and in need of a top quality caterer, look no further. I have done all the research and calling around for you (you're so welcome!) and now you can just hit them up to see if they are available on your date and go from there. A wonderfully run business and GREAT food, which is the most important...

We had the pleasure of having Jackie from Heirloom prepare a 4-course meal in our home to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. Talk about setting the bar! Jackie was a delight; she was incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient across an unfamiliar kitchen (she even found my gold chargers!). The meal was incredible, with layers of flavor across each dish, it was hard not to make the food center to our anniversary conversation. Everything was tended to with care, down to the finish line which I considered as well-packaged leftovers and a clean kitchen (dare I say cleaner before Jackie worked her culinary magic). It was a special occasion made memorable because of Jackie...

We had the pleasure to have the Heirloom Kitchen for our micro wedding in Point Reyes (21 guests). Chef Victor and Chef Ashley exceeded our expectations with outstanding food that was super delicious, perfectly presented and on time! Victor and Ashely worked super professional and cleaned up everything so so well. All guests were soo delighted by this culinary experience.

The set up worked flawless with owner Erika, who was very responsive and send very good instructions prior the event. We were even able to customize our menu. All in one it was super easy and professional. I highly recommend...
