I've taken two Stainglass classes there and I highly recommend to anyone who is just slightly interested Maddy makes it easy for you to get into stain glass by pre-cutting the pieces for the classes and Brandon brings refreshing cocktails, tea, or coffee drinks. It's unique in the fact that you can buy stain glass, use studio time to make your own peace, or take a class that she will guide you through. They sometimes have events which I highly recommend checking out like a make and take market during December

Maddy is a WONDERFUL teacher who really teaches you how to create a stained glass work of art from start to finish. She will teach you how to cut, grind, foil, solder and in the end you will love your new original piece of art. After taking the beginner class earlier this year I immediately fell in love with the process and decided for my birthday I would have a crafternoon with the gals! Maddy allowed me to book a private session, she gave me input on design choices, offered snack and drink and even decorated! It was such an amazing day spent with great friends in a super cute place. The studio is just a vibe, I really love it. In every nook and cranny is an interesting or just beautiful decoration or work of art. I just want to hang out in there and read or play a game which I'm pretty sure is encouraged! Within the studio you can find East Coast Trading Co. that offers delicious tea and coffee which you can enjoy for free during your class! In addition to the traditional stained glass classes, Maddy also offers date night options where a bit of the work is already done for you so that you and a guest can get right down to business! I've also seen advertisements for classes with embroidery, candle making, jewelry making, flower arranging, wood burning and resin. I also recently saw a super cool holiday event/market I am planning to check out. Basically if you have any interest in get a little crafty you should really check out 'Akala Studios!

It had been many years since our last visit to CineBistro. We liked it back then, but somehow never…read moremade it back, and between the pandemic, movie prices, and life in general, it just fell off our radar. Fast forward to now: my wife wanted to see the new movie Disclosure Day, which we both enjoyed, and she decided it would be the perfect excuse for a dinner-and-movie night. So we headed back to CineBistro. I'd recommend arriving about 30 minutes before the movie starts so they have time to take your order and you can hopefully finish eating before the film begins. Prices are on the mid-to-high side, and they do add an 18% gratuity to the bill. That said, you can adjust it if you want to tip more, less, or remove it entirely. For dinner, my wife had the Shrimp Florentine Linguini, it came with sautéed Gulf shrimp, fresh linguini, roasted garlic cream sauce, spinach, marinated tomatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano, and wild mushrooms. I had the CMX Burger, which is two Angus Beef Patties, White American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Pickles, Special Sauce on Potato Roll. The burger also comes with fries. Soft drinks and bottled water are $7, which felt a little steep to me, although soft drinks do come with free refills. You can also just ask for a glass of water. The seats are very comfortable, with small tray tables or fold-out tables so you can eat right at your seat while watching the movie. Food is delivered directly to you, which makes the whole experience convenient and enjoyable. Overall, we were very happy with the food. It was tasty, and we have no complaints there. You really do get what you pay for, and this is a different kind of movie-going experience with good food to go along with it. If the movie is good too, it makes for a great night out. We would definitely come back.

I had the espresso martini, even though it wasn't on the cocktail menu. It was very good. We ordered the steak skewer salad, popcorn, peanut M&Ms and the chocolate cake. Popcorn was delicious. Everything was delicious! Tables are swing-out and they are small. Barely fit everything. If you want anything else after the movie starts you go to the bar. Seats are comfy but do not recline. I'd return.

For those who don't know what a…read morepaint and sip is (a lot don't)- basically a business, like Painting With A Twist, has paint classes everyday where you pay admission per person and each class you are taught step by step how to create a specific painting. If you are of age, you have the option of bringing alcohol to sip as you paint, but you totally don't have to. Some places provide the alcohol, but this specific location at least is byob (bring your own beer). Seriously, even if you aren't an artistically inclined or creative person taking a painting class can still be a ton of fun. My dad is not artistic at all, doesn't have an artistic bone in his body really and he knows it, and he still had a ton of fun in the class and learned a lot. Plus, you have an instructor who walks you through how to paint small step by small step, and if you have questions they walk around and will help you correct things as well, so you really have as much guidance as you want, or not. As our hilarious instructor Scott said, "This is FUN art, not FINE art." This really was a ton of fun and i'm for sure going to take more classes in the future, it was the best night and Scott our instructor really helped to make it all the more fun!

Catherine gave us so much information, she answered all our questions and took us through the process step by step making it super easy.

Parking was chaotic, but that's to be expected especially with it happening at the same time as and not too far from Saturday Morning Market. Free to enter & wander around while lots of art is on sale and displayed for people to check out. Ceramics, paintings, metal working, wood working, stone art, and so much more are there to check out. I picked up two small pots I plan to use for succulents from one vendor who was cash only, and then picked up a wine glass holder from a woodworker as well who accepted cards. There was an ATM on site, but I was surprised to hear some artists didn't accept cards given some of the higher price tags here. So be prepared for that. They also have some food and drink options available; I had Frosé from Big Crush Slush, a raspberry yogurt, chocolate dipped ice pop with sprinkles from a vendor, and was lured pretty close to many tents selling hot stuff and actually meals too. Plenty of chairs, tables, & tents set up to sit down and enjoy your meal or just to rest your feet, and there was live music at times too.
