Chef Dante was wonderful and the gourmet meal was both easy to prepare and delicious! The only change I would make is having a cut off time for late arrivals.

Well we didn't have chef Dante we has some leftover Vito who took 20 minutes to tell us all the places he worked and I mean ALL while we stood on concrete no chairs he was very hard to understand his mic was very loud and a hard thick accent we were a party of 6 and had 1 pan most of us just watched not enough time to do the proper recipe it was missing key ingredients and it tasted bad he rushed us though 2 pasta meals he had to do the last one, we ran out of time and used boxed pasta that we were supposed to make it was very boring and a waste of time I would have perfurd I you tube video better then this guy it was NOT WORTH ALL THAT MONEY also who stand while you eat only offered water with lemon in it I felt rushed and learned NOTHING

I was extremely disappointed… the cooking table was designed to serve 4 couples, but we there were 8 couples there. We had to work with another couple to make the dinner. That’s date night? The “steak” was more of a “Steakum.” For $100 a person, I expected a better cut of meet. Then, we had to stand crushed together to eat the meal. When I was single I may have stood over the sink a couple of times. But for something that was billed as a “Date Night” it fell far short of that. And finally, there was wine as long as you brought your own. I should have gone to Outback and had a fabulous steak dinner for $100, and still have a $100 left in my pocket. The food did have great flavor, but it was cold.
