My husband and I enjoyed the evening. The chef made it a fun experience as he was upbeat and friendly. The food was delicious yet I am wondering why the dessert didn’t look like the one pictured on the web page.

Chef Lonnie was fun and informative! It was a lot of fun to get hands-on with the sushi to make veggie hand rolls, cucumber rolls, and tuna rolls. I think a little more structure to get the class's attention would have been helpful, since there was a lot of talking and missed attention at times, requiring Chef to shout over the room. But all in all, a great experience!

Really appreciate teaching the basics (safe and effective way to hold the knife) and trying something knew (pumpkin curry soup)
