My spouse, a few close friends, and I spent about two hours learning the basics of sushi preparation under Chef Don's expert guidance--and we loved every minute of it! Chef Don struck the perfect balance of professionalism and laid-back charm. He created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their skill level. His instructions were clear, easy to follow, and he made sure everyone was engaged and having fun. We learned to make several classic rolls ourselves, and it was so satisfying to enjoy something delicious that we had just created. One of our favorite parts of the night was getting to torch our own sushi rolls--yes, with actual fire! It added such a fun, interactive twist to the experience and made us feel like real sushi chefs for a moment. Chef Don is clearly well-respected throughout Southern Riverside and San Diego County, and it's easy to see why. His passion for sushi and teaching really shines through, and his reputation as a top-tier chef and instructor is well deserved. If you're looking for a fun, unique night out with friends or family--especially if you're a sushi lover--this experience is a must. Highly recommend Chef Don's class to anyone looking to roll up their sleeves and try something new!

I want to thank Pete and his crew again for catering another outstanding event (they catered our…read morewedding a few years ago). From the time I reached out to him up until the event (my wife's 60th birthday), it's been top-notch. Pricing, menu selection, # of guests, setup, food prep, doling out the appetizers and entrees, and finally storing the leftovers so that I could take home, great company to work with. I'll utilize their services for my next event.

Pete's firehouse bbq really came through for my husband and I's special day. We had issues with a few of our vendors for the day, but one I didn't have to worry or stress over once was Pete and his bbq! The food was warm, incredibly delicious, and exactly what we asked for. Our guests all enjoyed it immensely, we heard nothing but rave reviews; and they still comment how the food at our wedding was the best ever. Pete went out of his way to help us throughout the process, from tastings to the main event; a truly kind and professional individual. He was always responsive to my emails and questions. My husband and I's favorite part, was by far the late night bites of pork belly sliders and mash potato bar. The appetizer meatballs also a game changer! Wish I could have a plate of everything as I write this. Since we had a fridge at the venue, we were able to keep our leftovers, which they packaged up for us. Though we didn't receive the toppings from the potato bar, only tiny hiccup, we did receive tons of leftovers that was such a bonus! Not to mention, that they heated well and were tasty even days later!! My husband, guest, and I all highly recommend Pete's Firehouse BBQ for your wedding or event!! You'll definitely, thank me later.

So our kids fight over what should go on their food and what should not and my wife suggested that maybe we could use this service to have fun and just spend family time. We asked Arturo what dishes he would suggest and he gave us a variety of options such as PASTA, SUSHI, SEAFOOD, TACOS, GRILLING, BAKING, ETC. We ultimately choose sushi because my family loves sushi. He was patient with my kid and taught him how to roll the rice over the toppings without any hesitation. Great service for a family bonding time. Very fairly priced, tasty, great instructor, and very professional.

Everything was supposed to have been cut and prepared in advance at what Anthony said was his commercial grade kitchen in Redlands. Nothing was prepared at all. He had to use my kitchen for everything. Food service started over an hour and a half late. Poor quality ingredients, quiche pie crust being low grade store bought, which reflects everything else that was finally served. He ran out of food almost immediately. He was very unprofessional laughing and talking with others loudly in my kitchen while he was running so late with putting the food out. It was an awful experience for me and I would never use him again or recommend him under any circumstances. I could have done better myself and saved $8,000! And all this followed by ghosting me to even apologize. DO NOT USE THIS CATERER.

This review has been way overdue!!…read more My bestfriends and Fiancé took a trip up to Crestline for my surprise engagement! Cheryl and Bobby were not only fantastic hosts but also an amazing addition to the celebration. Before we arrived, Cheryl and I stayed in constant communication gathering all our individual preferences, preparing us for the weather, and overall providing us with some helpful tips to make the weekend super special. Their home is immaculate, filled with fun activities, remarkable views, and delicious food! Cheryl and Bobby made us feel right at home with their genuine and upbeat personalities. We immediately nestled in to the second level where we began serving drinks at the Tiki bar, taking turns in the ULTIMATE massage chair, while the boys played a game of pool and the girls had a photoshoot outside. At the end of the night, I was lured upstairs for the biggest surprise of my life!!! Rose petals leading out to the lit up gazebo with stunning mountains in the background I found my boyfriend on one knee. After an instant "YES - PUT THE RING ON" I found our friends and hosts filming the whole thing for our forever memories. As if it couldn't get any better - Cheryl prepared a beautiful homemade dinner for us to enjoy. And Finally we ended the night with Top Gun and dessert in the movie theater. AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.

The fresh hot popcorn, candy, and snacks were better than going to the big theater. Chairs were super cozy with extra pillows and blankets if needed and reclined for comfort.

It was a great experience from beginning to end and I highly recommend an event at the Place to be Crestline. Cheryl is amazing and a fantastic host. Thank you for your hospitality!

Every corner exudes charm! I was happy to see that they sell Bridgewater Candles' Sweet Grace fragrant products. Please see my separate review on them. The Bridgewater Candle Company helps feed children around the world. This shop also carries the Farm House Fresh (FHF) skincare line. I love their sumptuous lotions! The interior is festively decorated for Christmas and chock full of a variety of unique gifts like jewelry and items for children. It is a little pricey but not over the top. I spoke with Kelly, who was working at the counter. She was so friendly, welcoming, and sweet and we chatted for a bit. She explained that they also have classes for crafts like jewelry making & candle making. It's something I'm interested in exploring further. She let me know that Angie owned the shop and there were challenges when the pandemic hit. I'm so heartbroken that so many small businesses were adversely impacted. I love supporting small businesses. Like I told Kelly small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. They have a prayer request wall. I submitted a request along with the myriad of requests already hanging. So much prayer needed in these times. I thought that is so cool & gracious on the shop owner's part. What a blessing! You can tell that children find the shop magical! They were awestruck by many of the items on display. Hearing their squeals of delight brought joy to my ears & warmth to my heart. It is a feast for the eyes. It's decorated so tastefully, it's organized, clean and bright. I couldn't help myself and made a few select purchases for gift giving. Don't take my word for it! Come & check it out for yourself! Please support this small business. I can't wait to return.

The service was amazing- they were so sweet and I asked about how long they have been there and she said 7 years, which I was amazed by- she said that they started as a workshop place and expanded their gift shop but they do still offer classes. We can't wait to go participate. Everything was adorable. It is a bit pricey, but I love supporting small local businesses, and can't wait to go back when I need special gifts or just something cute. If you're in the area go check them out. Absolutely happy to have found them.
