What a treat! Truly a wonderful experience! Chef Taylor and his staff were amazing. Very professional, yet friendly and engaging! Chef Taylor and his Sous Chef and manager/bar tender made our Thanksgiving a delight. The 3 of them handled everything with ease. I told Chef what I wanted with the comment that “I want you to be a guest in my own home.” So that I could enjoy my grandchildren, and family members… some of whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. That’s exactly what it was. Every detail was attended to, we loved having him and his staff in our home. We had 28 guests ranging g from ages 2 to 74. I highly recommend Chef Taylor, and will definitely hire him for future events! Thank you Chef Taylor!

Chef Taylor is amazing. We hired him to do a "high tea" for my bridal camp - the day of our wedding for the ladies and he absolutely delivered on every level. Creative menu, tasty food, elegant display, professional team, courteous - we wanted to adopt him into our family. The other ladies in attendance asked for his information so they could hire him for future events. Hire Chef Taylor - he will not disappoint!! Thank you Chef Taylor!

Chef Taylor helped make a memorable evening for a bride-to-be and a group of 11 other people! The food was exceptional and beautifully presented, and the clean-up was pristine (pretty sure the Air BnB was cleaner than when Chef Taylor started cooking). Thank you so so much!

This was a large party with 45+ guests. I had many compliments from our guests about the quality of the food--everyone said it was delicious. The chef's team made sure everyone got plenty to eat, and circulated with champagne flutes to see that everyone could celebrate. A number of guests took the chef's card for possible future events. I would hire Chef Taylor again if the occasion arises.
