Twelve Top began as three chefs who love to cook for their friends and family. Now, we’ve grown into a team that cherishes the opportunity to do the same for you and yours.

Our story

With over 20 years of industry experience, and in every role imaginable, our team understands, precisely, the types of events we want to share with our clients and their guests.

Staying focused enables us to pare our business down to its foundational raison d’être - we get to do what we love - provide our guests with refined yet decadent meals accompanied by relaxed, upscale service in the comfort of their own homes or local venues.

Our various offerings reflect an ethos of refinement, availability, feasibility, and locality, ensuring that our processes are unencumbered, our vision streamlined, and the end results are extraordinary.

As almost everyone knows, being in The Bay means you are surrounded by a continuous bounty of wonderful ingredients, small scale farms, conscientious purveyors, and an unparalleled seasonality throughout the year.

We value any occasion where we get to shape this natural bounty into the food on your table, and the memories we share, long after the final course has been served.

Our Culture

Kitchen culture has not always afforded its hardest workers with the time and space to spend with loved ones. Twelve Top tries to change that by prioritizing our team’s needs and family lives.

Burnout happens in many work environments, but by empowering our employees to take time for themselves, we’re able to commit our best energies into our work.

By treating each other as family, we create a uniquely talented and tight-knit team that will help bring your guests together for some of life’s best celebrations.
