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.

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.
