We had a wonderful experience with Chef Paula, Chef Giovanni and Perla! It was a corporate retreat dinner for 16 and the food, service and process were absolutely impeccable. Chef Paula arrived around 1:30 pm and spent the afternoon cooking, then Giovanni and Perla arrived a bit later. The choices were great - miso glazed black cod and beef bourguignon with lovely sides. The sticky toffee pudding was divine. Every guest raved about the meals. And the service and cleanup were fantastic. I give The Heirloom Chef my highest recommendation and will certainly be using them again. Thank you!

We have been working with chef Paula for these early weeks after a new baby and our experience with her has been magical. The food has been shockingly good, fresh and the menus she’s created have had a lot of variety which we love. She’s asked for and taken feedback, took a number of dietary (and child specific) preferences into account and delivers meals that are nutritious and packed with flavor. Plus you get a LOT of food so there’s a lot of value. Most of all, Paula’s positive energy, kindness, thoughtfulness and flexibility have been so appreciated - especially on the days she’s cooking in our home. We wish we could keep her + the HC experience forever!

We used Heirloom Chef for our daughter's post-wedding dinner. The dinner was amazing and far surpassed our expectations. Chef Paula was gracious and accommodating, and the entire Heirloom staff was a joy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing catering services, and would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

The Heirloom Chef was such an incredible help to us :) They fed us gorgeous, healthy meals during our busy event week and went above and beyond to make sure dietary restrictions were considered and pivoted throughout the week as needed when things came up. They left the working space tidy and all of their chefs were lovely to have around. Can't say enough good things and would definitely work with them again if in the Bay !

Booked Heirloom Chef for an appetizer heavy garden party. The food was delicious, chefs were wonderful and the communication and planning process was ace. Would happily book again

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 and Heirloom.
