Our cooking session with a Chef Jace was so much fun. He was so knowledgeable in the cuisine we selected- Not Your MamaвЂ™s Tapas. Chef Jace was so personable, passionate, patient and humorous. I went to his session not knowing what to expect. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I learned a few tricks in the kitchen. The food was delicious. I would take a seat at Chef JaceвЂ™s table anytime. I would highly recommend having a session with a Chef Jace. He will most definitely see our group again in the very near future. Bravo Chef Jace....see you soon for an encore!

Chef Jace was insightful, entertaining, and welcoming! This exceeded all of our expectations and more. The environment at the restaurant is incredible and he is helpful yet hands off in order to truly let you prepare your meal. Chef Jace teaches you meals you can continue to cook at home. I can't say enough about our experience and they'll have a brunch customer for quite some time.

We had a Team Building event with Chef Jace and he was phenomenal! He is extremely passionate, knowledgeable, patient, and engaging! He is very down-to-earth and kind, while still being highly respectable and professional. He taught us to make coffee-crusted steak, ceviche, crepes, and beignets. My favorite part of the night was our crepe-flipping contest, which was so fun. And I am still dreaming about those beignets! All of the food was incredible and Chef Jace executed it perfectly. Thank you so much, Chef Jace!

Our team booked a private team building experience with Chef Jace and he was amazing! He truly exceeded my expectations. His venue was great, he was friendly, informational, and provided a hands-on cooking experience. I can tell that he loves what he does because I could taste it in his amazing food! Chef Jace will not disappoint you!

This was so much fun! Chef Jace led us in preparing a delicious seafood meal. The chef was knowledgeable and friendly; he made this an enjoyable class. I would recommend this experience to anyone. The only thing that I would change is that I would have liked the chef to have us prepare the entire meal ourselves. Unfortunately, that was not possible as some parts had to be made in advance due to the menu. Still, I learned quite a bit that I am eager to try out this weekend. Give this a go. You won't be disappointed.

What a fabulous and delicious evening we just shared with Chef Jace! Our children gave us a gift certificate for our 5th anniversary last year and we finally had the opportunity to use it. We picked the American Classics with a Cajun Twist by Chef Jace because the menu sounded intriguing and we were not disappointed. Thank you to Chef for his expertise, his teaching, his delicious food and wonderful conversation. We will definitely be back to try the Saturday and Sunday Brunch at Middlebar. #Cozymeal

As I write this review, I am dunking a leftover beignet into my coffee from last night's culinary adventure with Chef Jace. I received a CozyMeal gift certificate for my birthday and immediately started curating a wishlist of classes. As I began to whittle down the delicious options, I noticed that I had saved Chef Jace's menus more than any other chef. After reading his bio, I thought, "Who better to teach a masterclass in NOLA fare than a NOLA local?" Chef Jase served up an awesome evening full of fun, laughs and lip-smacking food. Each course carried a different lesson that every home cook should have in their arsenal - knife skills for ceviche, kneading dough for beignets, testing the doneness of a filet, flipping a crepe. Chef Jase handled our enthusiastic amateur status with humor and patience and guided us into creating one delicious course after another. His experience and creativity made the traditional Southern menu elevated, yet approachable. We'll be back for seconds!

Jace was beyond great. He made accommodations with a few scheduling hiccups and really worked with us. Jace is very vibrant and teaches different methods and techniques in a fun way. Overall, the menu was great, and we will definitely be visiting MiddleBar whether it's for brunch or to do another private dining experience.
