The hot chocolate they serve in the colder months is delightful The lemon satin crème truffle is my absolute favorite along with their chocolate drizzled brittle. Effff that stuff is like crack! No lie, I can eat an entire box of that brittle in 2 days... Definitely check out their non-preservatives goodies. Made fresh, made local, made yummy!!!

Stop inside for a free sample, look at their operations, and of course, chocolate shopping! Great service, as folks behind the counter walk you through all the special flavors that are available My only advice is don't buy chocolate and leave it in the car in the hot Las Vegas weather! Still tastes really good, but doesn't look the same - LOL

Their was a few areas that you couldn't move a few feet, very crowded. We showed up at about 7:45 pm and avoided the line to get in. We walked right in and hit the booths to the right as you entered the pool area. We avoided the main crowds. We went around and came back to the main area at about 8:30 and the crowds had moved on. Overall it is still good but less entertainment then most years and not many extra gifts that we are used too.

I got a quote from Jahlisa with MixxieMixologist through Yelp for an open bar + signature drinks…read morefor my "welcome party" the night before my wedding. From the start, Jahlisa was professional and quick to respond. Her pricing is fair and she worked with me and my mom to figure out how many people to account for as it can get tricky when prepping for an open bar at a casual backyard event like this. They have their own bar cart and there were different ones to choose from. She offered to make a signature drinks menu but I created one on my own through Etsy. The set up was so cute! During the event, Jahlissa and her colleague were super fun and sweet to talk to and I got the same feedback from more than a few guests. I was surprised at how attentive they were to not only me as the bride but to my guests as well. They walked around and made sure everyone had a drink if they wanted one, it made the whole event feel even more upscale. And of course, the drinks were perfect and exactly what I had hoped for! I would highly recommend MixxieMixologist to anyone looking for a mixologist who is professional and wants to make sure your event goes smoothly!

Jo and her assistant arrived early and transformed the space into a beautiful setup for six of us. They brought all the tools, ingredients, glassware and even individual charcuterie boxes for each person. We made two specialty cocktails, then had a friendly competition creating our own drink with the ingredients provided. They kept the energy upbeat with fun games and just the right balance of instruction and laughter. They surprised us with bottled water and hangover kits, which was such a thoughtful touch. The setup looked amazing (the decorations were mine, but their presentation really pulled everything together). Everyone had a blast and my husband enjoyed it. If you're looking for something interactive, classy and fun, I can't recommend Mixxie Mixologist enough. Jahlisa and her team truly made the night unforgettable.

We scheduled adult cooking classes through the website. We were called by our chef the day before…read morenotifying us that the classes were for children and that the booking was a mistake. They offered to reschedule but only during the week when we have work. We asked for a refund and were never contacted by anyone at all. I've called the number listed on the site at least 20 times and left multiple voicemails. I've still not been contacted back. I only got through to a person once, whom told me to send an email to thejoyfullkitchen@gmail.com. I received a response from someone else named Jill informing me she wasn't associated with this company. So it really seems like you just schedule people for the wrong event, charge them 100 bucks and then ignore them into eternity. A complete FAILURE of customer service. I would like my money back and WILL NOT be recommending these classes to anyone. This is ludicrous and I can't tell you how frustrating this is. If you are looking into booking these classes, SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME & FIND SOMETHING ELSE.

We've now come to this location a few times because it's the only decent restaurant near my…read morehusband's workplace. It's always pretty busy during the lunch. But you don't have to actually wait much for a table because most people are getting takeout. You can tell a lot of working people come to this location to eat. The service is fine but you can tell they are still learning because they sometimes make mistakes on your order so make sure you check the bill when you get it before you pay it. If they make a mistake, they can pay you cash back if you use the card to pay. There is a manager on site that knows how to do everything. It's just a hassle sometimes Mistakes. And mistakes have happened at least twice when we've gone there but we know they're learning so we are pretty understanding. The location is really clean. The bathroom is also really clean so it's a nice comfortable place to eat with kids but there are no kids menus or anything so bring something to keep your kids entertained if you go here and make sure you check the menu to see if there's something your kids will eat. My kids actually don't need anything on the menu so I bring them box lunches and my husband and I eat from the menu. The only thing they eat is a french fries. We've ordered the chicken sandwiches, the pasta, the grilled cheese and the salad. All the food is normal food nothing amazing but the prices are pretty good for the larger meals. The portions sizes are pretty good as well. If you're getting a salad, I'd recommend just getting the big salad because it's a little bit larger than side salad , but the quality of the food overall has been pretty good for the price. You can also upgrade it for three dollars and you'll get a drink plus some french fries. We recommend this place if you're in the area and you're craving some American food. FYI it's called the West bistro so if you put in the culinary Academy on your GPS you would have to look for the actual restaurant which is in the school.
