The chef was great and very informative. The gnocchi was tasty. The only critique I have is about the venue, not the class itself. The music was loud at the brewery and the bartender wasn’t Keen on turning it down so we could hear the instructor.

Stephen was friendly and knowledgeable and the class was interactive and enjoyable however we could not hear most of what he was saying. His voice is soft and his speaker system was not good. The brewery lowered their music and we asked Stephen to stand in a different spot but the sound still was not good so we missed a lot of what he was saying. Otherwise a great class and the food was yum!
