Get to know me better

Experience focused fine dining

I have over 20 years of experience in the culinary industry, must recently with my restaurant in Las Vegas, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

I began my career in Los Angeles starting with opening Animal back in 2007, then moving to the Bay Area and working at several places in the Hayes valley. I moved to Napa valley to attend the Culinary Institute of America, upon graduating moving back to Los Angeles to continue a 4 year stint at the Bazaar by Jose Andres. Staying in Los Angeles I continued at different restaurants such as Bestia, Michelin rated Trois Mec, and then opening my first restaurant with Lost Spirits titled Fish or Flesh in the Arts District. 4 years ago I moved to Las Vegas to open on my second restaurant with the company based on Jules Vern’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I love to create a place for my guests to laugh, and enjoy.

Chef Taylor was amazing!! First off out of all the proposals she is the only one that took the time to curate a menu based off of specific asks from my request. She was quick to respond back to me which eased my anxiety of working with someone you don't know through a website you have never used by a lot. Taylor and her assistant Dylan have a very warm presence. They made sure to build a connection with each guest and were very friendly. In addition, the food was phenomenal. Everyone kept speaking highly of Taylors food. One of my requests was for everyone to feel full and let me tell you, guests stated unbuttoning their pants to leave room for dessert. Taylor paid much attention to detail and her and Dylan really took the time to make my mom surprise dinner very special and easy for the planner. Thank you so much Taylor! Hope to work with you soon!

Taylor was excellent. She was an awesome chef but also went above and beyond to accommodate our quirks. Also she was creative with the cooking so no food would go to waste. Loved her!

Chef Taylor was just wonderful. She was professional and engaging and just what we needed and wanted for our holiday dinner. I was so glad to have her with us. I didn’t have to worry about any details. She took care of everything and was smiling and happy the whole time. We would definitely gladly have her at our home again

Taylor Persh is absolutely Awesome. I recommend her to everyone and I will request her services again
