Chef Steven is amazing! We hired him off a recommendation from a friend for my birthday dinner and he did not disappoint.

And his staff was also great; very friendly and super clean! read more

I was in LA with a group of friends for my birthday and thought it'd be fun to do a private dinner party. From the start, Steven was so helpful in answering my questions, curating the dinner menu, and finalizing details with me in the days leading up to the party. In the end, everything from the food to the service was amazing and the dinner was a highlight of the trip. (Steven was also super understanding when I realized our AirBnB kitchen wasn't fully stocked!) I can't recommend Steven enough. Thank you, chef! read more

Whoops! Forgot to leave a review from December but better late than never. My sister was celebrating her 35th in Malibu on December 22, and wanted a private chef to come cook her birthday dinner for about 6 of us at our Airbnb. I found Steven online through a search, and his menu (variety) appealed to us/our palate (read: short rib ravioli), so I contacted him in mid-September. He replied within a day, and was super receptive to our needs. At the time, we didn't know if our party size would be 4 or 6 but the price was the same for 4-6 people, which was pretty great. We were able to curate our menu based on Steven's specialties and our preferences. FYI our final menu was the following, and it was all amazing: Salad: Buratta Cheese salad with wild arugula and Campari tomatoes Starter: Seared Sea scallops with cauliflower puree Entree: Hand cut fettuccine noodles with Short Ribs and Mushroom Medley Dessert: Sticky toffee pudding with bourbon toffee sauce There ended up being 6 of us in total. Steven took care of everything, from prep to execution to clean up. I had texted him pics of the limited cooking equipment in our Airbnb earlier in the day but he totally made it work. He's super chill and fun but 100% professional, and both the presentation and taste of the food were just phenomenal. We were all so impressed and so happy. My sister - the birthday girl - couldn't get over the food (and the dessert). Food coma def ensued. Also, it's worth noting that while we had 6 people, we had leftovers of the pasta for another meal. We thought the pricing was completely reasonable, and will def contact Steven the next time we're in LA (with or without a special occasion)! read more

Hired Steven to cater my dinner for my 30th birthday and I can't put into words how amazing he was! Steven came so prepared and ready to execute a 3 course meal for me and 11 of my best friends. He brought out each course and cleaned up! He even went out of his way to put together the charcuterie board I wanted as an appetizer before dinner. He then brought out my cake and cut and served us all. I am so happy that I went with Steven and will definitely use him for any future events I have! Thank you Steven for making my birthday so memorable! read more

I normally don't write reviews but felt the need to regarding Chef Steven. (Having trained myself under 5 star chefs myself, I have high expectations and a degree of perfectionism that is not easy to please.) I reached out to Chef last minute for an event for my company and not only was he quick to respond, he got my vision and knocked it out of the park. The food was on point, the presentation was flawless and the execution went smoothly. Running your own business has it's own sets of challenges and the last thing I needed on my agenda was another side job of planning a party. So, thank you Chef Steven for taking the reigns on this one. You delivered and then some. read more

We hired Chef Steven for a private dinner for our backyard wedding. He arrived in the midst of our wedding portraits and games, quietly set up and began prepping. He cooked a wonderful 4-course meal for us, even creating a beautiful centerpiece out of leftover flowers that we thought were wilting away (but he somehow brought them back to life!). The food and service were fantastic and made the day that much more special. I can't recommend Chef Steven enough. Thank you, Chef! read more

My family hired Steven for an intimate affair over the weekend, and we were all so please and impressed with everything!! He cooked in our home. The set up was clean, and organized.

My family hired Chef Steven to cook for us a few days while we were renting a house out in Malibu. First off, let me just say that the food was absolutely delicious (and healthy!!) Our family had a couple of dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free) and he was incredibly accommodating. Beyond the food, Chef Steven is committed to his clients: he went above and beyond the services we asked -- keeping a very clean kitchen, offering to provide additional options. He has a great attitude and by the end of our trip, we were so sad to see him go. As a Los Angeles local, I am excited to find opportunities to hire Chef Steven again. He is a clear culinary talent. Highly recommend! (His wild rice is AMAZING!) read more

We had a huge choice of menu options for the buffet and passed appetizers. To a person, every guest complimented us on the food and their service. I highly recommend Steven and hope to use him again! read more

I was debating on eating in or out but decided to eat in and I needed to find a private chef for my milestone birthday and I looked to yelp! And I am glad that I found chef Steven to cook for us!

We had amazing arugula salad, risotto, mashed potatoes, steak and salmon! It was served family style which I thought it would be plated style but worked out fine. He came right on time and did cooking, set up, and clean up all in the span of about Two hours for one flat price. I am glad that we chose him as our chef!

We hired Chef Steven for a small dinner party at our house. We had debated between going out to dinner or cooking and this truly was the best of both worlds! We avoided the crowds of a restaurant all while enjoying a beautiful and delicious dinner without having to lift a finger. This was all done for a very reasonable price. Chef Steven was so great with all our guests and even offered to make our drinks. He served all the food seamlessly and cleaned up every last crumb in the kitchen before he left. We will definitely hire Chef Steven again in the future and highly recommend him! read more

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Chef Steven! We hired Steven for a backyard (surprise) birthday dinner last weekend for 8 adults. He responded to my initial inquiry within an hour, helped me select a mouth watering 5-Course tasting menu, and accommodated my every request leading up to the event. His plating and service were beautiful, and his set up and clean up were seamless. And the food! It was better than we could've ever imagined. Our friends have been talking about it all week, and they were jealous when they learned there were a few leftovers (which Steven kindly wrapped and put away in the fridge) that we ate the next evening. If you're thinking of hiring a private chef, you have to hire Steven. He made this birthday dinner a night the group will never forget. I am telling everybody I know about Steven and Taste That LA, and I can't wait to work with him again! read more

All in all I would definitely hire Steven again for future events. You can see and taste the passion he has for cooking! Thanks a million Steven! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I figured I would have to contribute my experience as it is the least in which I can do. My wife and I hosted a dinner party (albeit small) and decided we would try something a bit different. Instead of cooking ourselves, we decided to hire someone to come do it, and after researches prices and getting quotes. we decided this would be the best option between quality (which was above and beyond) and price. We were extremely pleased. It's important to note they do not automatically add gratuity for their service as would be expected. We were sure to handle that generously ourselves. Will do again, and I recommend anyone reading this that is on the fence to jump off and give them a chance. You will be extremely happy that you did! read more

Steven is INCREDIBLE! Not only was he easy to work with, on time, and extremely professional, the food was beyond top notch. All the components were fresh, organic, and perfectly paired. He also used all seasonal ingredients. A true farm to table experience. I will 100% be using Steven for all future events. If you're looking to upgrade your night to perfection, Steven is your essential ingredient. read more
