The Kismet Table — Local services in Chicago

All I can say is W-O-W!! From start to finish, Chef Taryn and her team think through every little detail. First of all, listen to this menu for a sit down dinner for ten (all of which was suggested by Chef Taryn herself): toasted brioche with whipped chicken liver mousse & blackberry jam, caramelized onion tartlets, citrus poached shrimp with tarragon aioli on endive spear, burrata with heirloom tomato, fresh corn & pancetta, roasted salmon & pistachio pesto, and apple crisp with salted caramel and vanilla bean gelato!! The food was melt-in-your-mouth-to-die-for, and the service was impeccable. What sets The Kismet Table apart, aside from food that you'll be thinking about for a long time to come, is that they really produce every aspect of your event- from the moment your guests walk in, to the moment they leave. They are available to help with decor, floral arrangements, wine pairings, and any/all rentals needed.

Edited to add - my “bullying email” was simply me saying I did email them in July and they should check their email. So sounds like they did get my original email and just didn’t respond. I wasn’t intending to attack or bully just looking for a business that replies to outreach in a respectful and...

I’ve known Taryn for years and years and i have had the pleasure of witnessing her grow in her craft. You guys, i can’t say enough- from the presentation to the taste - myself, my husband and children love love love her food (and her). My 6 year old asked me if i could call Chef Taryn and ask her to “make 500 lemon desserts” so she would always have one to eat 😀. Kismet is awesome, the staff is fantastic, the storefront has really great items (i left with 3 candles) and I cant wait to host a party at Kismet....
