We had a wonderful night with Chef Olivier. The food was incredible, Olivier was highly personable, and I feel as though I learned a lot. His newly remodeled kitchen is also the stuff home design dreams are made of. Highly recommend!

Chef Olivier was funny, had some great outside of the box tips for everyday cooking, and (most importantly) guided us through preparing some absolutely delicious French cuisine. Perfect move for a date night! I booked it as a Christmas present for my wife and she was very happy with it. Thanks, Chef! Sean & Megan

My boyfriend and I went to Chef Olivier’s braised short rib class. We both agreed we would both rather do this than go out to dinner. From the menu to the meal, Chef Olivier was attentive and highly skilled. All three courses were mouth watering and his entertainment skills made the date even better. Would recommend to anyone of all ages. Thanks again Chef!

We arranged a class "New England Parisian Brasserie" with Chef Olivier for our son and two of his friends. All of them like to cook, but they are 12-year old boys. Chef Olivier did a great job in all aspects. The menu is well balanced with some items being relatively simple and others - more advanced, but all very tasty. The chef flawlessly managed the team of very inexperienced cooks giving them the tasks they can handle, pushing them a little bit out of their comfort zone, encouraging them and making them laugh. The kids enjoyed both cooking and eating. I was the only adult on the team and learned a lot about the technics I had questions about. Now I'm less afraid to make Pate au Choux on my own. I would highly recommend Chef Olivier for a team of any cooking experience.
