Find a Wedding Venue in Oakland

I hired Chef Hahlil for my wife's birthday. I wanted to surprise her with a nice dinner and staycation.. Chef Hahlil recommended a gorgeous smart home BnB in Oakland. When we arrived, the house was decorated with flowers and candles along with nice music in the background. The table was set!!! Chef Hahlil was in the kitchen preparing my wifes favorite dinner (crabs) and the champagne was chilled. It was all inclusive. The food, the service, the house and professionalism. Cut The Check!! Pay the Man. His passion shows and the food flavors are by far exceeded my expectations. He is on speed dial. One evening my wife was not up to cooking and we called Chef and he was able to provide dinner for 2 plus dessert. A godsend!!

This place is absolutely incredible. it is located in a purple house. When you pull up to it you do not even know it is there unless you have the exact address. This is the kind of place where there is no sign at the door, it is actually in a home. We got dropped off at the Uber and we were being hosted here for dinner from the Salesforce conference. When you walk in through the front door you are in the hallway, to the right you are going to have the dining area and if you walk straight you are right in the kitchen. We started our night in the backyard. They have a bar on the right serving wine and they had a server passing out the appetizers. I am usually not a fan of a deviled egg but it was so good. I also loved the truffle and white mushroom tarts. The tart was warm and when you but into it, it melted it in your mouth. The last appetizer that was passed around was phyllo wrapped pawns those were my favorite they had a sweet sauce on top. After a little while of hanging in the back yard we were seated at the table. We had 5 tables 10 people each. I loved the set up, there were so many details form the fresh flowers to the gold silverware. It definitely felt like an upscale experience even though we were in house. The first thing I was served was the salad. I loved all the colors from the radishes and the dressing was super fresh and a little citrusy. It was exactly what I needed after a long day. Then they served us the agnolotti. I loved the pumpkin with the sage butter sauce it was the perfect amount of sweet. Lastly we had the short rib. It was cooked to perfection and served with mashed potatoes. Overall, this was a memorable place. The fact that you are in a home gives the atmosphere such an intimate feeling paired with great service and great food.
