Very Unfortunate experience with Samantha. After purchasing a date for 2 for my wife for Christmas, I received an email from Samantha on December 15th stating that Cozymeal screwed up her schedule and that it was supposed to be meat and potatoes class on the date we had purchased. Therefore, Samantha cancelled the reservation we had on that date which was for a Latin Meal. Since I purchased the date as a gift for Christmas, I wasn't planning to reach out for rescheduling until after I had given it to my wife and talked about when a better day to attend would be. Samantha took it upon herself to reschedule us for a different day, that would not have worked with our schedule if we had seen the message, and she never received confirmation from us that we could actually attend the class. The only shared expectation that both the chef and ourselves were aware of was that she had cancelled our original date, and we needed to reschedule. That fact never changed. Despite never receiving confirmation that her new proposed date would work for us, she claims that she showed up and we were a no show. When reaching out to her to reschedule she referred me to Cozymeal after she had already reached out to them to narrate a story favorable to her. Upon calling in to Cozymeal they stated that I would have to pay a $100 rescheduling fee. Even though we never agreed to meeting on any other date other than the original for a Latin class, which she scheduled. The situation has been escalated to a manager, and we are waiting to hear back on whether or not they will issue a refund within the next 72 hours. Would not recommend scheduling with this host.

This was such a great and fun experience!!! Chef Samantha was a great host and chef. We learned how to make French onion soup, croutons, mussels, steak, creamed leaks, peppercorn sauce, & crème brûlée. The food was phenomenal 10/10!!! We didn’t know the couple who joined us, but they were super nice. This was a unique date night experience and we would definitely do it again.
