The class was a fun experience. It was a little bit slow as Andre went around the different tables one by one. Andre was pleasant and knowledgeable at his craft. He makes a killer bow tie ;)

Chef Andre was very attentive and helpful! He made sure everyone in the group got it, and gave hands on help when some of us were struggling a bit more. He would thrive having his own kitchen space to work in, that was really the only downside but we know that's out of his control!

The venue was horrible being in a noisy bar. The "class" had no introductory instruction. The "class" was too large (19 people showed up). There was no scale for weighing the flour. There was no pasta making machine. Totally amateurish. I will never use "Classpop" or Groupon. If I could give this zero stars I would.

Chef Andre brought really fun energy to the class and made an effort to spend time with each group. He shared tips/tricks throughout the class that make you feel like you can do it at home. We had a great time and will be singing up for another one of his classes!!

Class was fun and Andre was a great teacher. Only con was distillery had one burner for the whole class, so we waited around. Would’ve loved snack since we waited an hour for stove time.

The pasta making class was fun, and Chef Andre was knowledgeable and personable. There were 16 of us in the class. However, the class was scheduled from 7 till 9. We didn't get started until 7:15 (or later), and we left at 10:30 by which time the last of the students was still boiling their pasta in the kitchen. Part of the problem was that there was only a single pan to cook the pasta in and each person (or couple's) pasta was cooked individually -- this just takes a very long time.

Horrible. He was 30 minutes late, disorganized and unprepared. The class was slated to be from 7-9 and we didn’t eat until almost 11pm. My friend didn’t even wait to eat, she left before the pasta was cooked because it was so late. Chef gave us all kinds of excuses that it’s not his kitchen, traffic, etc. When you’re charging $60 for a two hour class excuses are not acceptable. I would not recommend Chef Andre.

This class was a complete waste of money and time. Please do not take this class with chef André. He seemed nice but this class felt like a scam. You are better off spending your money eating good food at an actual restaurant. We were expecting a drink and to be learning how to make tacos. Instead someone was able to cut a few onions and we all mixed the maize with gloves but the meal was mainly prepared by the chef and it took waaaaaay too long (longer than the allotted two hrs) and we sat there waiting hungry. The tortillas we ate were from the supermarket. I thought we were in a taco making class. Awful and wish I could get money money back since we were all disappointed. There were not individual prep stations for people. I came for shrimp tacos and the chef didn’t bring any even though it was on the advertised menu. People were also double dipping in the food as the chef didn’t have proper serving spoons. Just disgusting!

I appreciated chef Andre’s enthusiasm to teach us how to make tacos. However, the whole experience was misleading. The ad said there would be a drink, it had pictures of fish and said there would be shrimp tacos, and we would make our tacos from maize. We had to buy our drinks at the bar, Chef André said someone was allergic to shrimp who never showed up or had a chair set out for them at the table. Therefore he didn’t have any shrimp, which was listed in the as. This made me wonder if Chef Andre really had a customer with a shrimp allergy. We were pescatarian so we just had cheese on our tacos. The chef had us mix the maize with soda water and one person was able to cut an onion. That was the extent of the hands cooking experience. In fact, he only made exactly two maize tacos and then had us eat regular store bought flour tortillas. We did not get to eat food until about 9:05 pm when the class was supposed to go from 7-9 pm. We were very hungry during the class and there were no snacks. We could have had a much better meal and left feeling full if we went to an actual restaurant. To top it off, multiple people were double dipping their utensils in the food. It was not sanitary. The chef did not have serving spoons properly distributed. When we spoke to Conner the bartender he said this was the second time they were doing cooking classes; the first time was two weeks ago for a pizza making class. Therefore we assume that this was the first time they did a taco making class and did not have an idea of how to execute it properly and efficiently. It was very disappointing and we left hungry as the flour tortillas were finished quickly by the group. Others expressed their disappointment by the bar. Had they known, they also would have just gone to the restaurant. Don’t waste your money on this chef Andres heart might have been in the right place but it was not even worth $30 let alone $55.

All meals Andre prepared were imaginative, visually appealing and enjoyed by a diverse group of guests! He was also able to modify meals to dietary needs without compromising the quality or the visual appeal. Really enjoyed working with Andre!
