Exceptional! My wife and really enjoyed the entire evening. I especially did, given the fact that I am not good at cooking AT ALL. Chef Rakhi was accommodating, patient, and a wonderful teacher. I have now graduated from being the WORST CHEF. The Bistro experience was fabulous, but what truly made the experience exceptional, was simply the time we spent getting to know Chef Rakhi. She is and amazing woman with an amazing story. Can't wait to read the book.
