Laura hosted an excellent course for our family! Very informative but relatable. The wine we tasted was excellent and the knowledge about pairings is definitely something we will be able to use in the future. I had some neighbors over for dinner tonight and showed off the blue cheese/sweet wine pairing for dessert!

I love you for what you do to support your community and those of us from so far away who tune in to your broadcast. You always find ways to bring us together, even during these very difficult and uncertain times. Hooray for you Laura! You are truly an inspiration to us all. I don't know how you do it all! The coordination of multiple presenters, menu planning, the shopping and cost, all the effort put into the preparation and cooking! Truly inspirational! You have made a tremendous difference for so many people during this hideous pandemic. You are a true hero to us all because you recognized the need and stepped up! Thank you.

Laura, Youâ€™ve done such an amazing job over the past couple of months to take our minds off the pandemic and to share your love of food, wine, and good friends. Iâ€™ve really enjoyed joining the sessions that I could. I canâ€™t wait to see what you get up to when the pandemic is gone and you start your next venture.

Laura was both gracious and a consummate professional in both hosting and dinner preparation. The house and the decorations were both creative, aesthetically pleasing and had a wonderful touch. I would wholeheartedly recommend these dinners as they are truly one of a kind and a must have experience whether you are local or visiting SF. Thank you Laura for your kindness, warm hospitality and the immaculate space you created for us on this evening. Well done!

Laura was authentic and kind. She stayed beyond the appointed time just to make us feel at home. The view was magnificent. She tailored the menu for the evening based on personal food restrictions and even gave me one of her cookbooks. The connections and friendships she's made with many renown chefs were not surprising as she showed equal openness and value for my mom and I. We came in strangers and left friends. Truly, our time with Laura was my favorite experience in San Francisco.

My dinner experience at Chez Laura was wonderful in many ways. The atmosphere was very welcoming, professional while also heartwarming. The views were spectacular and the feeling on the balcony, while sipping champagne was invigorating and a memory that will stick out. Lauraâ€™s menu was delicious, generous and healthy â€” all our dietary needs were met! The dinner table was beautifully set, the wine was paired well and plenty of it. Our fellow guests were very nice, we all had interesting stories to tell, and we even celebrated a birthday. It was a very unique and enjoyable evening that I am sure to repeat!

This evening is more than a meal itâ€™s an experience. Laura is an outstanding chef with a gracious personality. The minute you arrive you are greeted with a warm smile and a great S F view. The meal itself was delicious and creative. (I loved my salmon and I am not a seafood eater) The other guests were all interesting and engaging making for an evening full of lively conversation and laughter. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique dining experience.

What a great experience this was! The food, wine and conversation were excellent. She had great wine pairings with each food course and introduced us to some new favorite wines. After dinner we watched the light show on the Bay Bridge from Lauraâ€™s living room. Laura even shared some great cooking tips and recipes. If you have a chance to participate in this experience, I highly recommend it.

There are hundreds of places and events in San Francisco to choose from...a dinner at Lauraâ€™s house you should highly consider! Not only is she an excellent chef but also being a sommelier she was able to make excellent wine pairings. Her space is intimate, with wonderful views of the City. I attended alone and met 10 other wonderful people, both local and foreign. Each serving was to die for and Laura did a great job of describing each course and giving cooking/wine tips along the way. I highly recommend a dinner with Laura and youâ€™ll probably become good friends too!
