Chef Taylor was very quick and responsive to my initial messages. He asked me a variety of questions about the event I was hosting. He told me about himself and his specialties. After some back and forth about what I was looking for, Chef Taylor put together a menu and pricing. The menu sounded great and the pricing was very reasonable. I paid 50% deposit and booked him about 3 weeks ahead of our event. The week prior, we confirmed and set an arrival time. Chef arrived on time and started setting up. He wore a mask the entire evening and was very considerate of social distancing. Chef was very friendly and professional. We were served our first course right on time. Chef described all his dishes and answered any questions we had. His food was nothing short of amazing. Very creative with ingredients and extremely fresh and quality as well. The portions were perfectly sized. And the presentation was artful. Everything tasted great, but the desert was a smash hit. My wife, who is GF and very health conscience never has more than a bit or two of deserts, well she had two full plates of his Matcha Olive Oil cake with Chantilly Lavender whipped cream. Once we had our desert we enjoyed the company of our guests and Chef came back to let us know he was finished and had cleaned up. Our kitchen was actually cleaner than when he arrived. Another bonus. We are very much looking forward to having Chef Taylor for future events. Very highly recommended.

Chef Taylor provided the ultimate VIP experience to help us celebrate an anniversary. From the start, he was quick, professional, and clear in his communication. We collaborated on the menu and the details of the night, and wow, let me tell you he did not disappoint! We asked for a mostly vegan menu and he cooked some of the best food we’ve ever eaten! Simply outstanding! Do not skip dessert either. You need his olive oil matcha cake in your life.

Well, wow, I'm struggling to even find the words to describe how out of this world Taylor's food was. Genuinely, I and my dinner guests unanimously agreed his dishes were some of the most delicious food we've ever tasted!! From the get-go, Taylor was so responsive, personable, and fun to work with. From the basic ideas I had, he brought a stunning menu to life that was creative and also worked with the dietary restrictions in the group. Onsite, he was so organized and prepared and brought a great energy to the room. He had a stellar team that helped serve the dishes. His presentation of the food was phenomenal. I had a friend show up that I wasn't anticipating and Taylor was even prepared for the unexpected + graciously rolled with it. I truly can't say enough good things!! From start to finish, Taylor was more than I could have hoped for. Hire him. You will be glad you did!!

Taylor was fantastic in every aspect. He replied to my inquiry immediately and we were able to get a grasp of what my goal was and his idea and how to make it all happen in our initial conversation. We were staying at an Airbnb and wanted a nice dinner for 3 families. Once the day of the dinner arrived, Taylor got everything prepped while we’re out. When we came back he was ready to serve and it was amazing. We did family style for the group and it worked out perfect, plenty of food for all. Even something different for the kids. Apps, Fried Green Tomatoes and whipped feta. Forget it. We were hooked from the beginning. Everything we tasted was elegant steak house quality. Better than most actually. Everyone was praising the food and how nice it was to have a big family dinner and be at the house. Less hectic, better food and perfect execution. High praise. We fully recommend Taylor.

Would 100% recommend Taylor. I wanted to setup a unique, private dining experience for my husband’s birthday this year, and it was so much better than I imaged. Taylor was super professional to work with. After getting an idea of what I was looking for, he put together a six course menu and incorporated all the things I told him we loved. The day of the event, Taylor was very punctual and prepped an hour before our start time. Everything was seriously SO delicious and tasty. The portions were huge! Our menu: The hamachi was so tender and the apricot brought such a nice balance of flavors especially with the crunchy radish. The sous vide Berkshire pork belly was one of our favorites, and we loved how crispy and rich the flavor was. The salmon crudo was another favorite dish and had the perfect hint of truffley ponzu sauce! The butter lettuce with green goddess dressing was so fresh, and we loved the mixture of fresh herbs. Our last savory course was the Spanish octopus and it was simply delicious. Sauce was so creamy and delicious! The olive oil cake with whipped lavender cream was so so good. Super heavenly lavender cream on top of a perfectly moist cake! ? Taylor definitely brought an elevated dining experience. Thank you so much for bringing so much culinary creativity into our home! Would absolutely book you again!

Having Taylor come cook at our home was an unforgettable experience. It was above restaurant-quality food and service. He was on time, food was prepared on time and spaced perfectly. The food was absolutely amazing - we asked for high-quality, upscale dishes and he did not disappoint. HIGHLY recommend merkatö for any of your food needs!

By far the best private dining experience I’ve ever had and in the last year or so we’ve had a few. Taylor is not your average catering service or food provider, they have top notch dishes with the creativity, flavor , and presentation you would expect from the finest restaurants. These guys are professionals when it comes to cooking and extremely knowledgeable about the food they serve. Everything that they cook with seemed like it was homegrown and pulled from the earth that day. Taylor made us feel like we were royalty with the plates that were served and attention to our party. Taylor also spreads the love by allowing you to buy some of their signature sauces/seasonings that you can cook with at home. Love this company. Thanks again Taylor.

I had a small dinner party planned, about 16 people, and contacted Chef Taylor with only a few days notice and they were able to accommodate me with a superbly tasteful, delicious and visually appealing menu including appetizers and dessert all at a very manageable price. The overall value was astounding. I unreservedly give Chef Taylor my highest recommendation!
