Comestible Fine Catering & Supper Club

Comestible was the first time I've had a personal interaction with a caterer myself, and I'm a big fan! One positive outcome of COVID-19 was having caterers be more accessible for people who just want individual or family meals opposed to food for events. Comestible provided my family an extremely affordable and delicious well-rounded meal.They have weekly offerings for a family of 4 during the pandemic, though towards the end of 2020 they started having more extravagant sets that cost more, and holiday meals which also utilized pricier ingredients with more dishes. Their Instagram @comestible.catering is the most up to date with their activities, so check that for their latest offering. Communication via text is very fast and easy, and Chef Mikey was so accommodating and friendly! As my boyfriend put it, he was "the happiest man alive" when we picked up our meal set.We had the summer fried chicken dinner menu between Aug 3-9, which included:- Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Dill Pickle Slaw & Smokey BBQ SauceGood ol' fried chicken, very crunchy and juicy. I actually didn't know this was parcooked; I dug in too fast and read the included envelope after I finished eating... my fault! We were supposed to finish cooking in the oven for a little longer, so it was slightly pink inside some pieces. Nothing bad happened, in fact I like rare meat, so maybe even better... The slaw was standard chopped red cabbage lightly tossed in a mayo-based dressing, and minimal bits of other veggies. The BBQ sauce was quite tangy with a sweet smoky finish, though the chicken didn't need it.- Comestible Caprese SaladI do wish the arugula leaves were tossed and moistened, as they were crackly and completely dry. The tomatoes and mozzarella came in minimal amount. The mozzarella balls were quite small! Also could have used more basil.- Whole Roasted Summer SquashI normally hate squash, but loved this. They were large roasted slices of zucchini (two whole zucchinis, sliced in half) with a ratatouille salsa. I've never eaten such large zucchinis before! It tasted farm fresh as well. The ratatouille salsa was a delicious tomato sauce with chunks of various stewed veggies.- Sun-dried Tomato & Corn MuffinsSavory muffins! Crusty, bready muffins with sweet raisin-like sundried tomatoes within, and a generous dollop of Aleppo honey butter, which was so creamy and subtly sweet.- Summer Berry Clafoutis, Meyer Lemon Whipped CreamHaven't heard of these before - it's like a soft tart that contained a lot of sliced almonds. Interesting texture! Enjoyed the fresh varied berries baked into the clafoutis. The whipped cream had a sweet hint of lemon.It's an amazing value for a family, and everything tasted very wholesome and fresh; even though we had fried chicken for dinner, I still felt healthy from all the quality ingredients and veggies! A majority of their meals feature chicken as the main dish and only protein, which can get tiring, but I understand it's probably used to keep costs low. They also always offer a vegetarian alternative.Comestible also sells other sides in addition to the weekly menu. I tried the Comestible famous salted chocolate chip cookie for $1 ea, which had a soft and thin freshly baked texture with yummy chocolate bits, a little on the sweet side. They offer pickup in Oakland as well as delivery for a fee. Payment is accepted via Venmo.If I lived in the area, I'd happily order Comestible for an easy, happy, filling, coursed meal for my family.

Our son found comestible when he moved to Oakland. He got us a huge to-go dinner from them and it was excellent and an incredible value. The dishes were Mexican inspired and all very good. The enchilada main dishes were well executed and the sides, salsa and chocolate bread pudding was tip-top. Highly recommended.

Love Comestible for their weekly and holiday family deliveries! They have been a godsend during shelter in place. Deliveries are easy and contactless and the food is incredible quality and a great value!

Just picked up one of their Friday meals and it was delicious! No pics, cause I was too excited to eat it! Chicken Katsu's were huge & juicy with cabbage & grilled green onions. Included a delicious salad and amazing grilled bok choy! Also got dessert, noodles and some quick pickles. Super good deal, as it will feed the two of us again tomorrow!

I ordered my thanksgiving dinner from Comestible and every dish they included was delicious. They made ordering easy and pickup was a breeze. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic meal.

I am exuberant after the phenomenal job that Noah did catering my 30th birthday party. He was upbeat, flexible (willing to take on my project mere days before the event) and a breeze to work with. But who cares about those things if the food isn't worth raving about? Watch me rave. The succulent portobello mushroom skewers with a miso glaze were so meaty the gluten-free vegans among us were blissfully confused. I should have taken a picture - both of the dish and their pleasure painted faces.The talapia ceviche with glistening, yet crispy pappadam crisps was one of the best ceviches I've ever tasted. One of my guests exclaimed it was the "best fish he had ever had." And the genius of banana empanadas and a flavorful salsa verde still makes me smile. They weren't sweet, per se, but pleasing the way sweet things can be. And the salsa was around as if to say, "yeah, I know what you're thinking. 'It's not meat!" But let me tell you: this is serious stuff."I know I can and will trust chef Noah completely from now on and am very excited to try one of his Supper Club events. Honestly, finding a good caterer should be put into the same category as finding a good doctor. Highly, highly recommended. 5 star designations were made for the reviews of businesses like this one.

Noah is more than cook and food planner. He is an artist, craftsman and perfectionist and he demands the same from his team. I have been to many Comestible events from supper clubs to events where they have brought the nourishment and I have never been disappointed and let me assure you, I am a picky a__ b____ when it comes to food. He has no boundaries to his cooking as any ethnicity and style is in his wheelhouse. Any event that needs catering, I will use Noah and his squad.

I use Comestible for corporate catering at Sephora! We love Noah here! He's like part of the family. We did a quest party with quesadillas and wow everyone was ecstatic. Also they are very detail orientated to a T. The presentation was awesome. If you want to see more of their work check out their Instagram!! The pictures don't do it justice but they are close enough. Thank you so much Noah!

Weekly dinner from Comestible has become a definite highlight of our week and an almost wonderfully guilty pleasure during this trying time. We look forward to sitting down to their delicious 4-course meal prepared with care and nurturing. We have had Puerto Rican, Philippino, Mexican and Mediterranean to name a few and never been disappointed. Each week they feature a menu with a choice of a chicken or veggie entrée, 3 sides, all the fixings and homemade dessert. The fee is $50 for pickup and $60 for deliveryThey also have fantastic chocolate chip cookies, baked or dough form, soups, stews etc. See pics and see the details at www.comestibleoak.com or on Instagram at comestible.catering.
