Settings were beautiful the weather was perfect central coast. The Money Band and Peter Pedrazzi sang and played flawlessly. The tri-tip and smoked chicken were delicious as promised. They had a silent and spoken auction that went smoothly. So why not five stars? After the first set of music and dancing they took a well deserved break and said they be back in 15 minutes. It was 8 o'clock. Suns going down and it's still warm. And it seemed like it was over. A crew cleaning off the tables and stacking chairs pulling the lights down. People started leaving. No announcement to stay or anything like that. I believe the music was in a program till 10 o'clock. Seems like we were pushed aside so the crew, cooks and staff could continue there party. Last words...somewhat disappointed.

Chef Anthony, starting myself and my daughter on the path to eating healthier, more plant based…read morefoods. Chef Anthony came to our home, showed us many delicious dishes from plant base pizza, jack fruit Chile Verde and amazing healthy tacos. He cleared our fridge of the processed foods that were doing more harm to our bodies than good. He instructed us through a variety of fruits and vegetables, spices and seasonings, we were tasting it along the way, and when the final product was served..... We were delighted, a couple of frowns about eating the unknown, but when we tasted the food, we agreed it was something we liked. Chef Anthony has a love and passion for plant base cooking and I'm thankful he was able to share that with us. He is very calm and patient while instructing. He allows and encourages hands on learning, so we are included in the process of life. To create and mix foods and flavors that are healthy for us. Anthony, Thank you for introducing us to your passion, your love of food and life. It was an honor to have you in our home, helping us and give us the tools to make a difference for our future. We wish you success in your journey.

I learned a couple of culinary hacks that I plan to use with my own baking at home. Class ended on time and we all left with plenty of delicious desserts!

I recently hosted a birthday party here, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to our…read moreexpectations. For a venue that is more expensive than other options, the value simply isn't there. ​Here are the main issues we encountered: ​1) Strict "No Outside Food" Policy vs. Actual Food Provided: Their website explicitly discourages outside food, stating, "As our parties include plenty of food for the kiddos... outside food is unnecessary and discouraged." Because of this, we trusted them and didn't bring extra snacks. However, the actual food took quite a long time to prepare, and the only snack provided in the meantime was a single small bowl of pretzels per table. The kids were absolutely starving. When one table finished theirs, a staff member brought out more pretzels seeing they were hungry--only for him to find out after that they were strictly limited to one bowl, and the employee simply hadn't known the rule. When the other table ran out they weren't allowed to get extra pretzels! ​2) We paid an extra $37 for premixed lemonade (which tasted like a standard powder mix). The kids were restricted to just one small cup each. They were still thirsty afterward, but they were cut off from the lemonade and could only get tap water after that. ​3) This is a cooking environment where the kids are constantly using their hands to handle food. I fully expected the very first step of the party would be to make sure the kids washed their hands. Shockingly, not once did the staff line the kids up or instruct them to wash their hands before they started preparing and touching the ingredients. 4) We wanted to have an ice cream cake and they were unwilling to let us borrow freezer space for a small cake, stating that they did not have room. We know other cooking venues allow this and allowed an even bigger sheet cake. So were surprised that this cooking venue wouldn't have space in the freezer for a small ice cream cake. It was just an inconvenience as we had to go get the cake during the party. ​5) To top it off, the tip must be paid fully in advance.

This venue specializes in interactive culinary experiences for all ages, making it an ideal…read morelocation for small team gatherings and delicious food. We recently visited to celebrate the completion of a project with a group of about ten people, and it proved to be a perfect setting for our celebration. The venue offers various team-building programs, such as the bake-off challenge, which we chose. With wine and other beverages available, the experience culminates in enjoying a full meal together. I particularly enjoyed the bake-off challenge, as it emphasized teamwork rather than individual effort, and was well-organized. At the end of the challenge, the chef judged the results and selected a winner, making the experience both interesting and fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to engage in small team-building activities followed by a meal.

During the class you are taught how to make 3 different dishes: an appetizer, a main, and a dessert. Each dish had its own station. You could choose station to begin with and move around as you wish. We were a pretty large group and I'll admit it was a teeny bit cramped sometimes and I wish there were more tools to use, but for the most part it worked very well. It was very fun and I got to learn few tips and tricks and I highly recommend it!
