If I could give 100 stars I would. Chef Nick was AMAZING from start to finish! I wish I could hire him to be my personal chef. We hired him to cook a surprise meal for my mother's 70th. He was personable, friendly and you could tell he took pride in all that he made. Each bite was more delicious than the one before. All food was beautifully displayed and he took his time to describe in detail what we were eating. He even cleaned everything up which was a huge bonus!

We hired Chef Nicholas Catering for our intimate wedding dinner at a private 80person winery in Sonoma. We are foodies, and wanted something special for our wedding day. Something non-traditional, with a modern twist and amazing taste. Nick went above and beyond with a family style meal, per our request. We highly recommend Chef Nicholas for any special occasion. Nick is engaging, approachable, inviting and will definitely make you feel like you are a part of the process in making the food which is grown on his own farm Nick completely exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Choosing him

Chef Nick worked for us as a private chef in our home daily for several weeks. We were in a temporary rental home with a tiny kitchen, but he was totally unbothered by this and made intricate meals in limited space! We have five small children and he came in and did a fabulous job. In addition to working around my gluten allergy he was able to please 4 children- each of whom has a different palate! Dinner time in our house is a challenge some nights! He also cooked several formal dinner parties for us with multicourse tasting menus and our friends were blown away. His presentation, flavors and

If you enjoy flavorful colorful farm-to-table cuisine, look no further! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the delicious meals Chef Nicholas created.
We had a weekend wedding near Clearlake and chose to work with Nick after looking at his proposed menu; everything jumped off the page and sounded delicious. We had buffet breakfasts each day, one day with traditional fare and the other with frittatas and the like. You cannot imagine how much flavor was packed into the mini frittatas. He also created amazing passed appetizers for our pre-ceremony cocktail hour, outstanding desserts for

Chef Nick and his whole team are as good as it gets! So far he's catered two events for me, my husband's 40th birthday dinner for about 30 people at our house and my wedding for 120 people in the middle of a vineyard. (I say "so far" because I plan on using him for every event I host for the rest of my life and would keep him locked in my kitchen if I could).
Both events were flawless and guests at my wedding actually asked for doggie bags. No joke. Also he uses local organic and sustainably farmed ingredients which are incredibly high in quality. The menu he designed for my

Great quality food and good service. Nick usually caters for events a Ceago winery and received excellent reviews so I decided to use him for my wedding up in Mendocino county. He also lives in a yurt on his goat farm which I thought was awesome!
Appetizers:
* Hominy cakes! We tried these at the Ukiah Wedding Fair and absolutely loved them.
* The "fig" with blue cheese turned out to be strawberries. Major bummer! It would have been nice to get a heads up before the day of the wedding!
* The cheese spread with breads was a hit!
Plated Dinner:
His plated dinners were very good and received

Can you say GOURMET?
Chef Nicolas catered my husbands 50th birthday party at Ceago Winery in Clear Lake,CA and did a FANTASTIC job! He worked with me long distance on the menu and kept the price range just where it needed to stay. Very upfront, professional, but with kind touch...
His menu is one of the finest I have ever seen and like a previous reviewer, many of our friends and family are FOODIES, so I wanted the best in chefs ! We had an assorted of wine & appetizers before hand. Chef's non alcoholic drinks were superb too. Our buffet dinner was a Spanish theme of Paella with

We held a weekend birthday party and Nick Heidemann of Chef Nicholas Catering prepared a buffet dinner and brunch. We were very pleased with his attention to detail and presentation. The appetizers were excellent and I know it took a lot of time to prepare them. The grilled dinner and side dishes were very good. He also prepared a dessert station with different desserts and my birthday cake. However, I wished he had planned more of a birthday presentation for my cake to celebrate my birthday...it didn't have any decorations on it and just a big candle from my dining room table stuck in the
