Chef David and his team made my mom’s retirement celebration while we were on vacation in Seminole truly unforgettable. From start to finish, they were professional, clean, and incredibly accommodating. The customized menu was thoughtfully created just for our family, including our dietary restrictions, and every dish was absolutely amazing. The food was so delicious that we’re still talking about it! We couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience and would highly recommend Chef David for any special occasion

Chef David provided an excellent, thoughtful meal for a small group of business associates and myself. His attention to detail, flavor, accommodation of specific requests, and execution of the evening was flawless. I am already considering other opportunities to hire him to cook for my friends and family again.
Chef David and his Team catered for my dinner party of 30. It was extraordinary! Service was fantastic, my kitchen was left cleaner than before my party, most of all the food was incredible. And David is very good natured with my LAST minute changes and he accommodates well.

He and his crew took over the kitchen and next thing you know we have these absolutely fabulous meal ! It was beautifully displayed and absolutely delicious !

Chef David prepared a beautiful dinner for us at our Airbnb. We had a work trip that required 12 mouths to feed, so it was a big task that David worked wonders with! He was flexible in working around a couple dietary restrictions and everyone was happy. It was so nice to have dinner already being prepared as we stepped back inside our home from a conference - everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Highly recommend the Italian menu. The team loved the experience and we were very satisfied. Would book David again next time we're in Orlando!
From our first conversation to the end of our meal everything was perfection! All 7 of us enjoyed every bit of our meal made by Chef David and would highly recommend him to anyone! The food and service were a 10 out of 10!
It was a great experience, great food and professionalism
Chef David is truly exceptional! He catered my wife's birthday celebration, and every single guest was impressed by his professionalism and the fantastic food and menu he provided. If you're ever in need of a great chef, you won't be disappointed by choosing him.
Chef David Taylor is a MUST if you are looking for a chef! He and his staff were very professional and worked with us on customizing menus. We had a group of 6 women who all have different tastes and there was something each night for everyone of us. Chef David is also very personable and easy to work with. I highly recommend.

Chef David and his team came to our place and prepared a 5 star meal, and left our home better than it was before they arrived. David also was entertaining while he was cooking, Very personable. I can not wait to have him prepare another meal for my family.

Could not say enough about Chef Taylor and his staff. We had a private dining experience for my husbands birthday and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful. The wine pairings were perfect and we didn’t have to lift a finger it was amazing. If you’re struggling to decide you won’t be disappointed just do it. He will handle it and make your experience so enjoyable. We cannot wait to use him again.
Chef David prepared the most delicious Bridal luncheon for us today at Historic Nehrling Gardens in Gotha. The food and presentation were amazing. He was such fun to work with and we will be having another meal with him soon. I highly recommend him for any gathering you are having. He will not disappoint!!!
We were looking for a chef for our daughter's wedding and worked with Chef David to describe what we envisioned. Chef not only was able to create a menu but did so with suggestions we didn't even consider at first. We had a tasting event at our home and the culinary creations were extremely delicious and perfectly aligned to what we wanted for the upcoming wedding. The food was nothing short of fantastic, the presentation of the stations and dishes very elegant, and the Chef's interaction with us through this event gave us great insight to how he and his team will impress our guests. We are looking forward to the wedding reception! Thank you, Chef David!!
