Chef James made a steak dinner for four of us at home, and it was such a hit! The food was incredible, James is a charismatic and talented chef! He called me after I booked the experience to confirm likes and dislikes, any changes or add-ons to the meal, and really catered the whole experience to ensure all four guests were happy with the meal. The portions were incredible too, we were so full afterwards and still have yummy leftovers. Thanks for the great meal, James!!
