Great knowledge, very friendly. portion was amazing and we were so grateful for the extra food. Good value for money. It would have been nice to be more a part of the cooking as I did indicate that I would like to learn knife techniques and such. I only peeled a carrot.
Appointment/event went 2.5 hours overtime and this was a struggle. We never eat that late and it inhibited my enjoyment of the meal. I could hardly eat anything due to usually being in bed before 9:30.
I usually do tip but I needed to pay extra for the travel to Limoges. This is the only reason I did not tip.

I booked Avi as a surprise for my wife’s birthday and wow - he delivered! Not only was Avi a great conversationalist on a wide range of topics, he is incredibly knowledgeable about unique spices and ingredients that make a dish sing! He also is health conscious and provided valuable advice for places to buy high quality ingredients at bargain prices. We spent a lot of time laughing and my wife said it was was the best birthday surprise ever! #winning
