My friends and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed our experience! Chef Legina was wonderful and the food was superb! We were unsure about what to expect, but it was an experience we didn’t know we needed. She was prompt, friendly, patient, and personable. We will definitely do this again!

Chef Gigi is fantastic. This was one of the best meals we have ever had. Everything from the clam chowder, to steak to the dessert was truly exceptional. Gigi is so lovely, I can’t wait to have her back.

OMG! what a great experience. Chef Legina made cooking fun, without putting the pressure on us to ensure we created a great meal. I would definitely choose here again. This was for my wife's birthday, and she REALLY enjoyed it.

My friends and I were so happy with this experience. The chef and her sous chef were so personable and talented. They felt like they were part of the party at moments. The food was fantastic and the participation level was easily accommodated to still socialize while doing. A truly great night! Highly highly recommend!
