We had a great experience with Chef Tim. He arrived with delicious fresh fish flown in from Japan the night before. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. He explained everything and answered all of our questions. The recipes he taught us were delicious. He was very patient with my teenage granddaughters. We all loved the experience. We made so much food that we were able to share it at a birthday dinner that evening.
