Various croissants with laminated dough. Chef Monica was good with responses to questions and also providing tips and food facts. Great class and her support staff was great as well.

The class was not led by Monica but by a young 20 year old. He did a good job. The class was good and the food (NY strip steak and frites with arugula salad) was phenomenal. I didn't love that they put you in groups of 4 because we didn't get to participate in everything. All in all it was a nice date.

My teenage daughter and her dad had an amazing time cooking together. It was the perfect gift for them to not only spend quality time together but also celebrate how great of a dad he is.

It was amazing!! Food was superb. I definitely felt like they were advertising for us to buy some of their tools because they were so convenient to use lol! That’s like some of the best food we’ve ever made and we had a Latina in our group and she was also amazed.

It was a mother's day gift for my wife from one of our sons. I got to share the experience with her and we both had a blast. Definitely doing it again.

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

Chef Tanya and Jake, the cooking instructors, were terrific! They not only shared valuable tips for cooking but also for prepping and cleaning the station. I was thrilled with the class and can't wait to sign up for another one. If you're interested, book your spot on a Saturday or Sunday.

Delia

What a great class. From the beginning with regard to explaining the different variations that we were going to make. Guiding us in the preparing of the ingredients and working with us in the cooking of the ingredients and how it all comes together . The end result the best getting to eat what we made. Delicious.Ready to register for my next class. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Our family of 3 (including a teen son) really enjoyed this class. The recipes were easy to figure out and make, and it's nice to have the book to refer to the 3 things we made, as well as all of the other content. Chef Kelley was very helpful, friendly, and encouraging with our son!

I was the first one who got to class. It started off good, but I was not even cooking. Just rolled dough. Everyone had a partner. Still ok. THEN they tell us to take a break & would call us back in. I was standing in front of the glass store. I came in 10 min, But They had already started class without me. They said they called everyone in. Umm you don’t count students?! They had already cut the noodles & was making a sauce. I was very mad. Grabbed my stuff to leave. As I left I yelled this was the worst class ever taken. Cussed as I was headed out the door & left. I lingered because I wanted my money back. Saw she wasn’t going to help, so I left. The female cook above was rude rude!! Unfair to charge me for a class, not pay attention to me missing, making it seem like it’s my fault they started without me!! Terrible terrible class. Didn’t finish class & got no food! Called my bank last night to cancel. Telling everyone how they just left me outside waiting -who does that?!!! Monica just told me, how was I to know you were standing in front of the window?!! Ummm I’m in your class, you had around 10 students.. counting was learned on Sesame Street. No excuses I say!! Putting on yelp & all social media too.

First of all, the chef was over 10 minutes late to showing up for the meal. We were made to wait outside and not let in until the chef came. Once the chef finally showed up, her helper was extremely rude and yelled at us like we were five year-old. She was condescending, Kurt, and above all extremely unfriendly. As a paying customer who paid a good amount of money for this lesson, it made the whole experience stressful. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, when we registered for the class, I was told it was two hours long. The class was supposed to be from 9 to 11. The macaroons that we made during the class were not even pulled out of the oven until noon thus, making me miss an appointment. finally, when I signed up for this as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom and I to do together, I did not realize that we would have to be sharing ingredients and sharing what we made with other groups. For the amount of money I spent for this experience, my mom and I walked away with only five macaroons between the two of us. Overall, this was a horrible experience and I will never use. cozy meal again if this is how the experiences are.

The class is was just “okay.” We could have used some more attention. We were promised by the instructor that two assistants would be helping with the class. However, they were loud and distracting in the background talking and helping “Chef Monica” prepare for her next class and neglected to help our instructor other than occasionally throwing out trash. I almost cut myself twice and no one seemed to notice. The instructor got off-topic a lot too. I’d like to have a more personalized experience. There was not much monitoring of the customers and I felt a bit lost at times. Assistants that were dedicated toward our class and not “Chef Monica’s” would have been helpful.

More 1-1 instruction from the assistants would have been very helpful. None of them helped us. They were loud and distracting as they were helping Chef Monica prepare for her next class. If our instructor would have stayed more on point rather than story-telling throughout the class, I would have found the class more useful. Overall, I thought the class was 'just OK'. However, I would still consider signing up for another class.
