The evening was great. My girlfriend and I both learned new things about cooking. Neither of us are big cooks, but we now want to cook more often. Chef Jesse made it a fun evening and the food was excellent. We’ll be attending additional classes.

Chef Jesse was great! He was professional and very personable. My wife and I attended the sushi making 101 class, and Chef Jesse provided some great tips and tricks to making/rolling sushi - the number 1 being practice! It's a bit odd to share ingredients with others at your table, but for sushi it was fine and not a big deal. Overall, it was a great - and we took away some great pointers and ideas.

My husband and I recently attended a cooking class led by Chef Justin, and while we appreciated his wide knowledge and the overall enjoyment of the class, we left feeling disappointed for a few reasons. First, we found it frustrating that we had to share our cooking table with other participants. This made it challenging to fully engage in the cooking process. Additionally, we were only given the opportunity to make one pasta dough collectively, which didn’t allow each of us to have our own hands-on experience. We believe that having individual stations would greatly enhance the learning process. Moreover, much of the food, like sauces, was pre-prepared by the chef. While we enjoyed learning about the techniques, we missed out on the practical experience of cooking those items ourselves. It felt more like a demonstration rather than an interactive cooking class. Overall, while we appreciated Chef Justin’s expertise, the format of the class didn’t meet our expectations for a hands-on experience. We hope future classes will offer more opportunities for individual participation and cooking.

Meal overall was good - the other participants were into it, however, our chef could've brought more energy - like she liked her job. We were all fun and ready to enjoy the experience.

Went for a sushi class. Instructor was horrible and didn’t even know how to roll sushi. Taught us to roll the seaweed long ways instead of short ways so our rolls were huge and totally incorrect. We will not be back.

Our Chef Wendy was excellent! She worked with adults and kids and everyone was engaged and enjoyed themselves. The only reason I did not give the experience 5 stars is because while we were listening to Chef Wendy, the assistants were cleaning pots and pans and utensils and their noise disrupted hearing our Chef. Chef Wendy deserves five stars.!!

Chef Justin was not our chef. The experience was not to bad, except we had a lot of Nats at our table, and a few got in our flower.

Chef was great! Food just ok, our group felt like we spent too much just to be pushing dough around. Couple of mishaps in the kitchen… small fire in the oven! Also not happy we weren’t allowed to take food home. We ate so much with the other two courses we were full by the time the main meal was ready wasted a whole pizza. If I’m paying for supplies I should be able to take home what we made. Not sure if we would come back
