TK’s Twists Traditional with “Chef’s Tasting Table”

Chef Gaynor

Beginning Saturday, November 1, TK’s at Villa Mayfair will be offering an extraordinary four-course tasting menu comprised of crowd – and chef – favorites to no more than 20 pre-registered guests at a special 7 pm seating every Tuesday and Saturday for a limited amount of time. This informational, educational and all around delicious menu is an interpretation of the classic "Chef's Tasting Table."

Diners will select one item for each of their four – well, five – courses starting with a freshly muddled classic mojito. Before even choosing between Tuna Tartare or Beef Carpaccio (first course); Roasted Baby Beets or Baby Spinach Salad (second course); Spice Rubbed Beef or Catch of the Day (third course); and Vanilla Mousse Cheesecake or Peanut Butter Mousse (final course), TK’s Bar Master, David Ungar, will engage guests, discussing the art of the mixology, demonstrating and actually making their mojitos of choice right in front of them. 

Once everyone is sipping, one of TK’s outstanding servers will take orders while head chef Maribel Gaynor takes to the podium. Unlike most Chef’ Table Meals, TK’s takes the chef out of the kitchen and into the dining room where, in between cooking each course, she will answer questions from members of her group of diners, talk about the foods she loves, the recipes she’s created, the dishes being served, the importance of fresh ingredients and much more. 

For just $49 per person (plus tax and gratuity) learn the secrets of masterful mixology, take an edible journey through TK’s most enticing menu items, and talk “turkey” (or should we say “tuna”?) with the incredible people who make the magic happen at TK’s Chef’s Tasting Table. Space is limited – so reserve today.
