I have taken a few classes now and can’t say how much I have been each time. Everything is so clean, fresh, well designed , and prepared. All of the staff - chefs, wine sellers and pourers , and the helper, are so pleasant , helpful while being friendly and welcoming. Nothing is a dumb question. Fun experience!!

Perfect place for a work event! My office came here as a party of 13 and we got to cook, drink wine, and hang out. Couldn't ask for anything better. Chef Victor was funny, helpful, and patient with us. Also thanks to Lydia for being so knowledgeable about the wine! Will definitely be back.
