Class was informative and fun. My only suggestion is that participants should receive the recipes at the end of class.

The resident chef was informative, enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and fun!! My complaints are that it was very expensive and the food was cold when we ate it. The food was fun to make and we learned a lot.

Fun class! Wished we could have brought wine or had some soft music playing in the background but it was a fun class!

The meal was okay. Our burner didn’t work well so our stake didn’t sear. The marketing said there would be coffee, water and tea. There was little cups of water that are given at a doctors office which isn’t appropriate when one pays $100 per person. Also—14 people in such a small setting isn’t ideal either. The room is better for 4 couples so we all have sufficient space. I’m disappointed to say the least

Chef Bill (I think that was his name) was so much fun! We loved his jokes and his personality made the class really easy to follow along

We had a different Chef. Vietnamese guy and he was great! Great things about this experience: 1- Learned new cooking techniques 2- Chef was super attentive and answered all questions asked 3- smooth process Things I would've liked instead: 1- I would've preferred being in a group of two instead of four to get more hands on experience. 2- correct ingredients.

This class was misrepresented as steak and gnocchi when, in reality, they hid the fact that it was risotto and Chicken thigh. On top of that, we had to share a cooking station with another couple and were given a single piece of chicken each to eat. For the price, I would never recommend doing this class. Maybe if they paid you, it would be worth it, but I would tell anyone considering doing this to do it at home with the help of a YouTube video. It will be more romantic, and you'll actually cook what you plan, not some random meal that was hidden in the website.

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.
