Everyone's raving about Heirloom as a caterer, so I'm sure they must rock that department, but as a food truck competing with all the other LA food trucks, Heirloom does not measure up. This review is purely for the lasagna cupcake. Do not get it. $9 for a measly lasagna cupcake? I mean, sure it's cute, but wow...if you're going to charge $9 for a cupcake-sized lasagna, at least make it good! I got the sausage lasagna, which should've been the tastiest option, but it was terrible. I expected delicious italian sausage, not 2 measly slices of some hotdog wiener. And there was not enough sauce at all. It was dry and under-seasoned. Plain pasta does not create fireworks in my mouth. read more

I have worked on many sets with decent catering, but this...Heirloom LA is so delicious!! Everything is fresh and is quite exquisite. Everyone on set was raving about the food. The vegetable frittata for breakfast was amazing! The vegetables inside the egg and cheese was so tasty. For lunch the spicy broccoli was great, the braised beef was out of this world, melt in your mouth delicious! And the chocolate chip cookies with sea salt were some of the best I've had. Don't let the fact they're gluten free put you off, they we incredible! I will definitely use Heirloom LA again! read more

Heirloom catered my 30th birthday. Every SINGLE part of working with them was a pleasure. One of the owners Tal coordinated the entire thing with me through email and was always prompt to respond and answer even the silliest of my questions. We hired a chef from Heirloom to prepare the food in our home. The presentation was out of this world. My guests were totally blown away by how beautiful the food table was set up. And the food- it was AHMAZING. People actually commented that they went back for fourths! The stand-out was the mac and cheese lasagna cupcakes but honestly everything they prepared was mouth watering good. I can't say enough great things about the wonderful experience. It is rare for businesses to exceed my expectations- Heirloom LA absolutely did. read more

Noticed their food truck driving by in Silver Lake last evening, stopped & checked out their menu. The Lasagna cupcake sounded interesting (had not heard the hype), so I got the one made with veal. I asked about its size, the friendly order person described it with her hands. Her description looked larger than a typical dessert cupcake you'd find, so what the heck, I'd try it. When it was ready, it wasn't larger than a normal-sized cupcake. Strike one. For $9, the portion is a bit small. You need 2 of these for any kind of meal. (And for $18, I'd rather eat at a sit-down restaurant for a full meal.) As far as taste, everything in it is tasty -- except for the meat. The cheese is really good, the other ingredients are really good. But the meat? Totally bland and tasteless; it wasn't seasoned and absolutely needed to be. Strike two. The menu of their truck is interesting, and no doubt changes frequently. But whoever the chefs are, not seasoning the veal -- when it's bland -- is a major mistake. And like many food trucks, I feel the pricing is out of line. I'm not paying for the novelty of food not available at a local restaurant. Or at least one shouldn't be. I can't say I'd never try something else from them, but many food trucks I've tried over the past couple years all seem to think they can charge a lot for small portions. I don't get it, but if they're doing good business, then more power to them. read more

My husband and I just got married this past month and we used Heirloom-LA for our beautiful indoor/outdoor event. We had a cocktail reception after our ceremony with tray passed appetizers for our guests while we took photos. They were amazing! Lamb meatballs, pumpkin agnolotti, sliders, all things that we chose and loved at our amazing tasting. For our dinner, we chose both beef and a delicious chicken dish that was stuffed with an amazing dressing. Our sides were delicious roasted veggies and the best part is that everything is local and organic. We chose to have a dessert buffet because we are not cake people and the cookies and hand pies we picked out were out of this world! The service was always spectacular. Nicolette was top notch and super helpful. They also worked with our budget and the style we wanted. I would use them again for any event, in a heartbeat! read more

TRY THE LASAGNA CUPCAKE! We saw the truck parked in front of Silver Lake Wine which they are there every Monday evening. We had plans for dinner at Gingergrass but we ran across the way to check out the menu. We decided to grab dessert here. We ended up grabbing one of the strawberry trifles and the peanut butter and jelly friend donut. THEN we saw someone grabbing a lasagna cupcake which looked amazing and the man and I ended up ordering one to go for a late night snack. The food here is amazing! I was more attracted to the fact that the owners are involved with sustainability and using local produce from local farms. They also ONLY use meat that has been humanely raised. The guys here are rad people too. The strawberry trifle was really good... The donut was just too rich for me.. (the bf had that) read more

I can't say enough about Heirloom-LA. I hired them to cater my husband's birthday party solely based on the Yelp reviews and they delivered beyond my expectations. The service was impeccable from beginning to end. I have worked with catering companies in the past and even for this party reached out to a few others to get prices, etc and no one could compare to Heirloom's level of service and professionalism. The night of the party they handled everything from setting the lighting just right in my house to arranging the food and menus like works of arts. My husband is a steak snob and I have never heard him rate a steak as highly as his did that night -- he called in phenomenal. Some of the items people couldn't stop raving about were the bread pudding with pizza sauce, the short rib lasagna cupcake and of course the prime rib cap steak. I will absolutely use Heirloom-LA again and would whole-heartily recommend them for your catering needs. You can't go wrong. read more

Hosting a Fathers day brunch and the food arrived on time with a complete set up. Frittatas , baked goods, sausages,salmon plate ,waffles, crostini and pastries arrived as guests did..and the food went quickly. Trevor did the set up without a request and is a real pro. Excellent quality food and service..Bravo! read more

I'm usually not moved to write a review, but I have to in the case of Heirloom. Impeccable, delicious food. Bamboo spoons piled with juicy Brisket Shepherd's Pie, small boats of pumpkin soup with nuts, pieces of besyruped buttermilk waffle speared with fried chicken... Might be the best catering I've ever had. I'll bet they're expensive. Totally worth it in my opinion, whatever it cost. read more

Heirloom-LA is simply amazing. We used them for our recent wedding, and couldn't be happier. The whole process from tasting to the big day was just a dream, and the food was completely amazeballs. Our catering manager Nicolette was a dream to work with (seriously, she's the best!!), and my Mom can't stop talking about what a dreamboat Chef Matt is, and how cool his vision is. I couldn't agree more. There are a lot of caterers in this town, but for your money, you can't do better than Heirloom-LA. They really care about the food they are putting out, and everything they do has a seasonal and sustainable slant on it. I could imagine if you're a super control freak and have to have side dishes or salads just-so, this might not be the outfit for you. I really appreciate their attention to detail, as well as what's in season, and what they can grow on their own, and using that within their dishes. If you can just let the experts do their thing, I promise you won't be disappointed! The tasting we did at the beginning of the process was incredible. They mocked up a crostini station, and then did a little tasting menu of some of their popular items. AMAZING! Plus then they sent me home with all the leftovers and a tray of LASAGNE CUPCAKES which are crazy good (the sweetcorn one... omg) For our actual meal we went for the brisket nacho, chicken and waffles, mushroom polenta cake and the fried pickle chip, as well as the chicken roulade and braised beef cheek for entrees. I am still getting comments, tweets and FB messages about how amazing the food was like a week later. Seriously, this is the best food you'll ever have, no lie! Our guests loved the little touch of having chips, salsa and guac at the tables, and not only that but it was the best tasting chips and guac ever! I wish I could have some right now... The service was awesome, as well, and the bartenders - omg! They were astounding. Some guests were flaunting the custom cocktails they'd made for them using some of the syrups and ingredients they'd brought, and improvising with our signature drink ingredients. WOW! Every single staff member went above and beyond; it was truly incredible. Thank you Heirloom-LA, Chef Matt, Nicolette and ALL of the team for making my wedding day the absolute best day of my life. I can't thank you enough~! I hope I have a chance to work with you again real soon but if not - I'll see you at the food truck :D read more

Nom Nom Nomm..it gets more of a 3.5 than a 3. I tried the Mac and Cheese Lasagna Cupcake($8) and the Spicy Steak and Onion Slider with Soy Glaze($5) at the Yamashiro's farmer market this past week. The Spicy Steak and Onion Slider was mouth watering good!! The meat was really soft and the sauce was sooo gooodddddd!! The only downfall was that as I tried to bite the meat in half so I don't leave the other half of my half slider empty of meat, it was impossible. The other half of my half slice was empty...just tomatoes, onions and sauce :(. As my friend was trying to cut the slider in half at the beginning it had the same problem, it would not cut. It ended up becoming a scrumptiously good mess. :P The lasagna cupcake was pretty good but not as spectacular as I had thought it would be. The cheese wasn't overpowering as when you think of regular mac & cheese, however, the lasagna was difficult to cut. I'm not sure if it was because I ate it ~15 after it was made so it was a bit cold or maybe the fork wasn't working so well but it was pretty difficult to eat. The taste of the lasagna cupcake overall was good but for the price I'm not sure if i'll be trying it again. I wanted to give this place a 4 or 5 star based on all the reviews I read but due to the downfalls when I tried it it only gets a 3.5 :( read more

Best food, best cooks ,and best people hands down! Excellent customer service, beautiful food presentation and ordering with them is a breeze. The Heirloom LA team are so thoughtful and considerate and really took care of me when I was placing an order. I was hosting a surprise birthday party for my Dad and wasn't really sure what to order because everything on their menu looked absolutely delicious! The team helped me create a menu and made sure I stayed within my budget, ordered enough food for everyone to eat, and so i was well beyond satisfied with everything. I was so happy when my food arrived. Their packaging was so beautiful and all the food looked like art! I was especially happy with the Crostini Station. Everyone at the party were floored by how beautiful and delicious the food was. It's been a while since the party, but my guests are still gushing about the food. Can't wait for Heirloom LA to cater my next party! read more

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!.. alllllllllll of their dishes are great!!.. today i went to silverlake wine for their 5 champagne tasting paired with Heirloom LA.... omg .. it was mouth watering.. the lasagna... the proscuitto wrapped eggplant.. and the TURDUCKEN... ahahhaha.. i never thought i'd have that, but it was just fantastic with the mushroom stuffing.. i think they only do catering... but i hope they have like a restaurant... i'd be their regular... read more

My first experience with Heirloom was at a charity event for children. Their specialty cocktail (vodka + cucumber base) was the perfect refreshing drink as the event was outside on a warm summer evening. The food was served family style (which was surprising considering we sat at one long table with 100 guests) but it worked out perfectly because I have a particularly large appetite and got to enjoy 4-5 pieces of beautifully cooked meat. The veggies and potatoes were tasty. Delicious catering. The 2nd experience was a private 5 course meal that felt more like 12 courses. We started out again with the delicious cucumber cocktail and a massive plate of meats and cheeses. Then there were bruschetta, sliders, pasta, salad, halibut, chicken, meats, and dessert. I won't go into TOO much detail because words can't justify the taste. Not only did this meal meet all my expectations, the explanations and detail that went into every course made everything that much more enjoyable. If it were up to me, i'd have a private meal every week. I'd recommend Heirloom-LA in an instant. Oh, we are having the Lasagna Cupcakes for lunch today. Yum. read more

I decided to try something new for our Monday/Wednesday catered lunches for our office of 50. I will keep it brief and to the point, it was just as delicious as I'd heard but there were factors just as important as the taste that I feel they should be commended for as a business: -Shanti was the person I spoke to when I called. When I told her the menu was a bit much and I wanted some suggestions quickly she not only did it but had it to me when she said she would. For someone like me on limited time I can't speak enough about how important that is. -The delivery was ON TIME, if not five minutes early AND with our metered pain-in-the-butt parking in front. Are you kidding me? BONUS! -The setup and extra little touches impressed everyone in this office and we have seen ten years of catered lunches. It's the small stuff that matters which is why I wanted to write this review. We had ENGINEERS taking photos of the table. Not foodies! I can't wait to use them again and for my next big event. Thank you Shanti for a job well done! read more

This is a delicious place to have whatever the cook has chosen to be the menu. Everything is delicious, very tasty and yummy... Its comfort food made to bring a smile to your belly. They serve on a wooden plate :) with wooden utensils.... so chic..! The food is fresh and made with yummy healthy ingredients. read more

See all

I recently worked with Heirloom-LA for my client's wedding on 4/20/13 at the Smog Shoppe. Oh boy, let's just start with lovely Portia. I communicated with her through email and frequent phone calls regarding this wedding and oh boy, Portia is the nicest vendor I've ever worked with. Not only she is so great at what she does but she was so caring, polite, and helpful. I was also very pleased with the Heirloom LA staff members. They were very polite, always offered a helping hand, quick and professional. So many guests complimented on their food also. I would love to work with Portia and her staff members again if I get the chance to. :) read more

I felt compelled to write and commend Heirloom LA for something beyond their AMAZING food... their compassion. My wife and I were planning the baby shower for our 1st child and chose Heirloom LA as our caterer. We're originally from LA but relocated to Sacramento CA within the last year for a promotion my wife earned. We had a baby shower in Sacramento but wanted to have one in So Cal for all the friends and family that couldn't travel up to see us. Unfortunately, one week before our event, tragedy struck our LA hosts as they had a death in their immediate family. Understandably, they focused on their loved ones while my wife and I scrambled to salvage the weekend and our baby shower plans. This meant a lot of late cancellations, finding a back up venue, etc, etc. Heirloom LA was so understanding, given this extreme circumstance. They worked with us to help make a bitter sweet occasion a lot more "sweet" than bitter. Thank you Heirloom LA!! read more

Heirloom LA - Baby Shower - Caterers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is an excellent catering group. Every morsel of food they served was amazingly delectable. I have experienced many different catering companies across the country, and Heirloom-LA is by far one of the best. Even their cocktails were original and interesting. I can't wait until I have an opportunity to use them myself! P.S. Their staff is incredibly professional and friendly. Bonus! read more

I just used them for my wedding reception in the backyard. Their menu selection was what originally drew me to Heirloom. l love the farm to table type of cuisine and the fact that their food is a little more rustic. The thing I hate more than anything else at wedding receptions is the boring choice of beef, chicken or fish. Oh, but sometimes you're lucky enough to get the stale dual entree! Heirloom did 2 entrees for me. 1. Suckling Pig Berkshire leg of pork roasted and stuffed with fennel, garlic, onion and bay leaf puree & 2. Sea Bass "Aqua Pazza" Branzino loup de mer sea bass seared and steamed with bell peppers, gaetta olives and thyme with white wine and lemon Heirloom not only stands out from all of the other caterers because of their food, but also because of their service. From the bartender to the servers to the cooks, it was a smooth, efficient, and professional team. I would use Heirloom LA for any catering needs you may have big or small. read more

We had Heirloom cater our rehearsal-dinner and post-wedding brunch with their drop-off menus and our guests simply LOVED the food. The food is soooo delicious and always beautifully arranged. The drop-off was super easy and their staff was also great to work with. Victoria & Abigail assisted us on the menus and were super responsive and open for any kind of adjustments we made. Thank you guys for the incredible experience! read more

My company used Heirloom multiples times and the food was always good. So I hired them for an important milestone birthday for my dad. The food they delivered was absolutely inedible and ruined my event. Not only did they not acknowledge the issue but they were unwilling to compensate me for it. I got the run around from employees and the owner wasn't willing to help me out. The WORST experience I have ever had for a service oriented business! read more

LASAGNA CUPCAKES! Enough Said. For years, I've coveted those things... was dying to try them... and once I did... I was in heaven. Yes, they're pricy and well, cupcake sized... (about $8 each) but the idea of cupcakes and lasagna all rolled in to one, quite honestly, makes me feel all mushy inside. Now, if I could actually hunt down the heirloom LA food truck which is always elusive to me... I'd be happier. I always miss it for some reason... so yeah. The texture of these things are amazing though... crispy on the top...and mushy goodness on the inside. I've tried the Short Rib and Cipollini Onion lasagna cupcake and it was amazingly tasty. Darn. Now, I'm craving one now! :) read more

Best wedding food ever!I'm biased cuz they catered our wedding, but the compliments for the food keep coming. If you book them, you will get delicious food, great service, and compliments for days! Thanks to our planner SHARLENE GRIFFITH who told us about heirloom la, we had the most delicious wedding. It was gourmet all the way. So yummy!I would pay just to have another tasting!book them for your next event because they will get busy.their food is not your typical hotel wedding food,you get so much more than you pay for. Yummy roasted potatoes Delicious rib eye with organic greens To-die-for roasted chicken lasagna cupcakes!!! Every single flavor was delicious the Mac n cheese, beef short rib, pumpkin, and lamb! They were a hIt at the wedding. Thanks again Matt and Tal read more

Lamb ciabatta sandwich AMAZ-ING that might make it to the top list of what I want to eat before I die... The short rib ravioli I could definitely die without eating ever again. I wanted something rich and short ribby and then I got this ravioli with some sweet salad on top. I know you might hear this from a girlfriend, but don't ever do that to me again. I still love you because of your lamb sandwich so please open up a restaurant so you can see my face everyday :D read more

Heirloom LA is an LA-based wedding caterer that the New York Times raves as "the city's hottest catering company". Of all the things in my wedding, food is by far my #1 priority, so I eagerly called them up. Initially, it was nearly impossible to schedule a tasting within the very narrow windows available for tastings, but what were we to expect from the "it girl" of caterers? Undeterred, we took an afternoon off work to squeeze in a much anticipated visit. It did not disappoint. The tasting was everything we expected and more. The company hosts its tastings in the "Salon", next to the corporate office. The Salon is decorated in a rustic desert style, with succulents, golden wood, and mismatched vintage silverware. A designer by trade, I was sold the moment I stepped in the door. The tasting started with the crostini bar, a lavish spread with house-made cheese, meats, pickles and dips. The moment the chef entered the room, it was oohs and aahs all around. The house-made burrata was some of the best in the city. The chef also made pork rillettes, candied fennel stems and all sorts of dips. We thoroughly enjoyed it and found it hard to move on to the tray pass appetizers. Tray Pass Appetizers 1. Wild mushroom and crispy polenta cake: This was a little bite of a mushroom ragu on top of a beautiful creamy and crispy polenta cake. 2. Tuna tartare on a saffron infused risotto cake: The tuna was nice and light, but not very memorable. The risotto cake was a bit dense for the light tuna topping. 3. HeirloomLA chicken & waffles: Absolutely amazing! This was hands down my favorite of all the tray pass dishes, and made it immediately on our list. The chicken was coated in a spicy crispy buttermilk breading, and garnished with blueberry compote and maple creme fraiche. All of that amazing deliciousness came on top of a warm, crispy outside, soft inside waffle. 4. Beef carpaccio crostini with dill creme fraiche: The beef was thinly sliced and cooked to a perfect medium rare, and paired nicely with a dill creme fraiche. It was served on a large, thin crostini. The dish was beautifully presented, but would do well with more flavor and garnishes for the beef, and maybe a thicker buttered toast. 5. House cured gravlox: A nice piece of house cured salmon with a mustard dill sauce, on potato pancakes. The salmon was quite nice, but the potato pancake was too dense. Next came the entrees and sides... Entrees 1. Montana 24 hour braised short ribs: The braised short ribs sat on a creamy celery root puree, garnished with charred baby leeks. It was beautifully presented. The short rib was fall apart tender, but the meat a little dry. We also prefer our short ribs on the fattier side, braised and served on the bone. Heirloom was very receptive to our feedback, and it seems like it would be an easy fix. 2. Whole roasted Claire Island Salmon: The star of this dish was the braised fennel underneath the roasted Salmon. It was caramelized and beautifully tender. I would have like my salmon medium however Jen (Pantry's co-founder and my bridesmaid!) and my mom thought it was perfect for them. 3. Montana beef prime rib eye cap steak: The steak was PERFECTLY prepared. It was a rib eye cap steak, which Seriouseats touts as the tastiest piece of meat on the cow. This was cooked to a perfect medium rare/rare, and was served with broccolini and roast purple carrots. Sides 1. Smashed Weiser farms potatoes: The most amazing mashed potato I've ever had. This had a wonderful waxy potato texture, and the most delicious savory flavor. 2. Brussels Sprouts: Lovely crisp tender roast brussels sprouts with pickled red onion on top. 3. Mac 'n cheese with smokey mozzarella: Heirloom LA is known for their pasta, so it goes without saying that the mac 'n cheese pasta is house-made. The texture of the pasta was perfect, but I wasn't a huge fan of the smokey mozzarella. We were immediately told they could switch the cheese to our preference - gruyere and cheddar please! Desserts: Desserts were also a surprise during the tasting, since I didn't request a dessert tasting. Heirloom LA had certainly gone above and beyond in maximizing our experience. They presented us with three desserts, which we wolfed down even though we were all too full to stand up. 1. Inside out s'more: The s'mores were made of house-made graham cracker with chocolate ganache and topped with a house-made toasted marshmallow - I could not get enough of this marshmallow! 2. Strawberry hand pies: Amazing squares of buttery flaky pastry stuffed with strawberry filling... For the rest of the review please visit: http://pantryno7.com/heirloom-la/ read more

Their lasagna cupcakes are delicious and so good to keep in the freezer for a quick, high quality dinner. Their salsas are delicious, too. What really sets Heirloom apart from other places is the quality of the ingredients and the people that put them together. Everyone that works there is always willing to go the extra mile to help their customers, which is appreciated and definitely not always the case with restaurants that cater. The food is certainly made from the highest quality ingredients that is fresh and in season. Highly recommended. read more

I hired Heirloom to cater my wedding in Malibu back in September. They are just the best! I was doing all of the wedding planning on my own and had tons of questions. Heirloom was beyond helpful. I worked with Portia, and she assisted me with planning every little detail. She was responsive to all of my questions and so flexible with making adjustments to my menu. Portia helped to make this event as affordable as possible. The location of my wedding was a bit remote and Portia made the trek out twice to help me walk through the location. Her advice was so valuable! She even helped me to bring down the cost of the rentals order. Most importantly their food is incredible! We first did a tasting at the food truck at the Yamashiro Market. I highly recommend you try it out. Everything I've tasted from Heirloom is so fresh and delicious. Our tasting was scheduled at their private room in Eagle Rock. We paid $150 for the tasting, which gets applied to your bill if you wind up booking with them. The chef brings out tons of platters of food, and they pack everything up for you to take home so we could enjoy the leftovers. We didn't wind up ordering desserts from them, but they brought us out a delicious platter of little cakes and cookies to try, and they were all so tasty! For our wedding day we chose their Taco Truck which included beef, chicken, pork, veggies and all the fixings. The guests devoured everything! Our appetizers included mini pork sliders, gazpacho shots, and my husband and I keep dreaming of the steak tartare. My wedding day was so perfect, and Heirloom made it better than I could have ever imagined. Our party manager, Amber was amazing. She made sure all of my guests were happy. She even served poolside drinks to the people in the hot tub! The servers helped me get food and made sure I got everything I wanted. All of my guests raved about the food. They even packed up some little lasagna cupcakes for me to enjoy the next day. I wish Heirloom had a restaurant. I'm planning to book a private dinner at their tasting room, so I can sample all of their delicious food again! Thank you Heirloom!! read more

Used catering services for a corporate lunch. The variety of healthy(ish), veg-friendly, seasonal options were the reason I chose Heirloom. Hadn't eaten at the brick & mortar, so this was a leap of faith- which I'm glad I took! The lasagna cupcakes were the Huge hit I was hoping they'd be. My coworkers were raving about the short rib version, and I was thrilled with the simple tomato one. I lived in Italy as a child and am pretty picky about pasta- I figured I'd like these okaaay, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the pasta was Perfect! Even the salad was great- fresh ingredients with a tasty meyer lemon vinaigrette. The risotto wasn't exactly what I was expecting? More like flavored rice, than a creamy risotto- but the flavor was solid, so that's more an FYI than a complaint. And here I am at desserts... All were Delicious (brownies/blondies/choc chip sea salt cookies)- but the butterscotch budino... You guys... Ohhh. Mannn. It was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning and I immediately had one of the leftovers for breakfast. The rosemary crumble was such a subtle complement to the butterscotch. Unusual and really lovely. 10/10- would eat daily ;) Last little thing, which is often overlooked, but adds so much when done nicely- the presentation. Setting up delivered food in a meeting room isn't optimal for an appealing display. But I've gotta say, Heirloom clearly put thought into even these small details. The packaging made it look more high end than typical food delivery, and the kraft paper coloured sticker labels were both attractive and clever. To top it all off, the desserts were artistically sprinkled with and arranged amongst edible flowers. What an appreciated surprise that was! Not only was the food beautiful to look at, but the edible flowers on the budino were an enjoyable teeny tiny textural pop. Least exciting detail, but important! Delivery was right on time and the driver (John?) was efficient and polite with the set up. So pleased! read more

It's taken me a while to write this review because I have mixed feelings. We used Heirloom to cater our wedding a few years ago. I hesitated to write a negative review because for the most part, it was a good: the food was delicious and farm to table, the servers friendly, the presentation beautiful, and everything as ordered. No problem with that stuff and I'm happy w/ it. those lasagna cupcakes are great. But the process leading up the wedding was hell. They changed coordinators on us midway through and the quote went up by close to 10K. We spent months bargaining every little thing to fit our budget and going through all their demands and basically I spent all the time leading up to the wedding trying to coordinate between Heirloom's equipment needs and the equipment rentals place (as they did not have any of these things on their own and the venue was an outdoor space). All the other vendors were rolling their eyes to me about Heirloom's demands! It was like Heirloom was the Bridezilla. My pre-wedding work: Not the dress, not the flowers, not anything else - all that was a breeze. 99% of my energy was spent on Heirloom's demands. Honestly, as much of a pain that was, fine- even I can understand a catering company has certain needs to provide at a certain level (although I'd think they would own that equipment rather than needing customers to rent it out). While frustrating and verrrrry costly, I get it. Sort of. BUT! The unforgivable thing: After months and months of coordinating with Heirloom about how to serve the wedding cake (which they do not provide but they DO serve) - they messed it up! We had ordered a beautiful layer cake from a bakery with 1 small display cutting cake that fed 50, plus 1 large sheet cake that fed 100, for all our 150 guests. Heirloom took that small 50 person display cake and CUT IT UP INTO TINY CUBES and served it to all 150 of our guests! At the end of the wedding, our ENTIRE WEDDING SHEET CAKE went in the GARBAGE uneaten! Now THAT is unforgivable. Maybe they didn't care because they didn't make the cake? But 1) that was our wedding cake! 2) what a waste of money and food 3) since the cake was layered, the guests only ate tiny cubes of different flavors, not how it was meant to be eaten 4) wtf? is there no common sense? Serving 150 people with a 50 person cake? So...I didn't write this for a while because I was just trying to chill out on the good vibes of our wedding. But now I feel like I need to say something and be very honest about my experience because, for the very expensive amount of money we paid, Heirloom should've been *freaking amazing*. Instead, they threw my wedding cake in the trash. read more

I never would have discovered this place if they hadn't catered lunch at the KCRW Membership Drive yesterday. Their potato salad was amazing! So was their spicy salad with beans. Their surprising flavors blew me away. Wish I could tell you exactly what I ate, but I couldn't find any menu pages listing these yummy items. Next time, I'll pay more attention to what they serve, now that I know how outstanding they are! read more

I love heirloom catering. I got married in June and they catered my wedding. It is not cheap, nor should it be because it is exquisite. Talmadge is sort of the operations guy, and he pulled our wedding off with precision. Matt is the main chef and he just incidentally is a doll. He is so creative and exuberant about food. The tasting he did at our house was sooooooo fun and delicious. He adjusted everything that we didn't like to our tastes (and there wasn't much) he explained the three basic options and made suggestions that would serve the wedding we were having best. Because we had about 135 people in an entirely outdoor setting he recommended a family style service to get the optimum amount of dishes and price for what we wanted. i had friends, relatives and even the DJ at my wedding comment that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! We had: tray passed apps: the most delicious sausage laced sliders gazpacho shots with charred burrata twice baked mini purple potatoes polenta squares with a mushrooms A wild delicious salad served individually and thennnnnn.... Oh my god the pasta, served in big bowls so people passed it around and took their own Angolotti with pumpkin and brown butter And Angolotti with short ribs in butter and sage. We had both because at the tastine we really couldn't decide they were both so excellent. For dinner we had big plates of chicken breast stuffed with sausage and bread thatis made green by some herb i don't know what it was ASWESOME and cap steak, so anyone could have both. Plus tons of roasted vegetables, potatoes, greens and other vegetable sides. I am a mini caterer myself and after my wedding i wanted nothing more than to go and work for these guys! But i realized about 4 weeks after that i am way to tired and pregnant to make a good impression on any kitchen right now ( i am constantly eating and resting, so not so great for a prof cook) I can't wait to have reason to eat with them again! read more

I attended the absolute elyx party and this service was beyond on point! Two of the servers that stood out to me were simon and jenny.... They both were professional, classy, attentive, genuine, charming, and just were cool! I highly recommend using this crew! They deserved this review! A good party can be great with killer staff on board! read more

The amazing staff at Heirloom LA catered our wedding earlier this summer. Starting with the tasting we arranged through Daniel (who was fantastic), Heirloom showed a commitment to quality of product, quality of execution, and quality of service. My wife and I both worked as cooks and maintain ties to the food world in LA and New York. Heirloom THREW DOWN. The pork belly roulade was executed perfectly - juicy with the most delicate, yet satisfying crispness on the skin. Lasagna cupcakes were excellent, and the sides made with the freshest produce. While the price may be slightly higher than other caterers in the area, do yourself a favor and work with Heirloom if you care at all about the quality and execution of the food at your next event. Cheers to the cooks and staff at Heirloom LA. read more

I attended the Harvest Moon event and Heirloom-LA offered their samples during their event. The food was great and the people were so nice. I can't wait to go to the actual restaurant and try it out. read more

We loved working with Heirloom LA to cater a holiday party last weekend. They were quick and helpful over email in the planning stages, and the order process couldn't have been simpler. Our guests enjoyed the famous lasagna cupcakes (vegetarian and short rib varieties), crudite with delicious trio of dips, crostini station, fresh guac, and those addictive shrimp on skewers with the orange glaze. And the desserts were scrumptious and picturesque. We went with the blackberry oat crumble pie, ginger molasses cookies, choc chip cookies, and caramel apple blondies. A small snag with the drop-off was fixed immediately on a Saturday evening by helpful reps and delivery driver and we were more than happy with the service and spread. We hope to keep you in the family for generations to come, Heirloom! read more

I was looking to explore a great option for Thanksgiving catering and spoke with Brian. He was extremely patient and helpful and directed me to all of the options. Following my order, I received a personalized email that made me feel that the company really appreciated the opportunity to provide me with a great Thanksgiving. Heirloom and Brian are great! read more

I tried the lasagna cups again, mostly because I was craving some homemade pasta confection and I had stopped by Silverlake Wine and saw them in the freezer. I picked the short rib lasagna, which sounded so yuuuummmmy. I went home and followed the cooking instructions. I popped it out of the oven and started to eat it...and I took a huge bite of melted mozzarella. I love cheese, cheese is my everything...but that was gross. I thought digging in would help things, but there was barely any pasta to go with the cheese. There was a good amount of short rib, but it got lost in all the cheese. :( Please add more pasta to your lasagna cups, Heirloom! I ended up with a plate of scraped off cheese and it made me super sad. read more

What a cute yummy slightly off the beaten path place!! I live in the area and just moved back home from NY. When I drive to Highland Park to hang, do yoga and eat this place has caught my eye. Finally today I had the chance to pull over and explore. It's close to Footsies in the Glassel/Cypress Park area. This place is a yummy and healthy to-go style. They do have some tables outside if you way there. The menu is always changing but they are known for there amazing savory cupcakes! I tried the halibut and mixed herb salad. Super tasty! And a pesto sauce for the halibut. The staff was very friendly. read more

I work in an industry where catered breakfasts and lunches are provided most every day. Because of my work, I'm also often invited to some fancy Hollywood parties. You can always tell when the catering is from Heirloom; everyone spends more time at the dinner table, or hanging around wherever the food station is set up, and there's always talk about how excellent the food was long after the meal is done. Everything I've had from them is delicious, good to look at, and for me, most importantly, it's all completely ethically and thoughtfully sourced. After 25 years as a vegetarian, always focused on eating local + organic delicious whole foods, I was so happy to find a catering company with the same mindset. read more
