Chef Eric was OUTSTANDING! I hired him for a single night, two-person dinner and he was wonderful…read more He was super communicative and very flexible with the menu items, providing about 5 options per course. Chef Eric brings all of the ingredients and a lot of his own supplies- he just needs a working stove/oven and a bit of fridge space to work his magic! He brought some of his own fancy plateware for the main course and dessert, and used our forks, drink ware and other plates. In terms of timing, he arrives about 1-1.5 hours before service to set up and get ready. For service, he brought out fresh utensils and presented each dish to us! We're big foodies and he was nice enough to answer some of our questions about the food, technique, and his background. My partner and I started with a little gem salad that was truly stunning and delicious! My partner mentioned it was the best food to be served on our plates! The salad was then followed by a warm and yummy spring pea and asparagus risotto. I had the roasted chicken roulade stuffed with herbs with romesco sauce and veggies, and my partner had the steak au poivre with pomme puree and veggies. Both of these were great but we both agreed the steak was our fav! For dessert, we had the strawberry shortcake which was "not too sweet" and a perfect and light way to end the night! What delighted us the most was that Chef Eric had cleaned the whole kitchen (loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the stove, emptied the dish rack), AND PROVIDED LEFTOVERS! Seriously so stoked to eat more of the salad and strawberry shortcake. All in all, this was an awesome experience and we would definitely contact Chef Eric again for another dinner!

Chef Eric has been feeding my family of 4 weekly for a year now and I cannot recommend him enough…read more His meals are always well balanced, tasty, and healthy. He is always collaborative and is so wonderful!

After sampling the delicious smoked meats from Oakland Smoke Shack while selecting a caterer for…read moreour wedding reception picnic, we knew we didn't need to look any further. Wow! OSS' ribs are hands down the most incredible, fall-off-the-bone, flavorful ribs I've ever had. They were the only BBQ spot we needed to try. Our interactions with Matt and his team were top-notch from the get-go. The quality of their service completely aligns with the incredible quality of their meats. Outstanding! We selected the brisket, chicken, ribs, mac & cheese, potato salad, baked beans, Asian salad, and cornbread for a large 100+ person outdoor event. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our friends have been talking about the food ever since. Be prepared to eat copious amounts of savory, tender meats and likely take home leftovers--their portions are generous! Communication was seamless, and Matt helped us select just the right menu. They set up and presented everything in an organized and appetizing fashion, were friendly and engaging while serving, and were quick and efficient with breakdown and cleanup. We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with Oakland Smoke Shack for our picnic. They truly helped make our event a success, and we would absolutely choose them again--gold stars all around!
