Chef jimi was very accommodating. However, maybe the location and lack of supply ie table cloths and extra soups chef would’ve been some better touches . Overall, chef Jimi did a wonderful job trying to to accommodate 17-20 students . There only so much one person can do while teaching and helping .

It was pretty underwhelming experience, expected more out of the event and venue. The food was good but not very much and definitely something you could make with directions at home.

Chef Jimi is super personable and his food is to die for. I definitely recommend him for a date night, birthday party or night with friends!

Chef Jimi was great but the class was a bit unorganized. There weren't enough gloves for everyone so it was 2 per table, one pasta making machine so it took forever for everyone to make the pasta & we didn't really get to learn how to make the alfredo sauce. The pasta did come out good & the food we got to eat that he made was great. We also only learned how to make fresh pasta & took it home to cook it. It was a learn how to make pasta class. But Chef Jimi was great he just needed to be set up better.

Guys this class is not worth it at all. So many things went wrong. The chef wanted us to share making the dough with 4 other strangers until I said something. He ran out of eggs.We made enough pasta for a 4 year old to eat. Very unorganized . Didn’t have enough gloves for the class. When he made us our meal it was 5 bites worth of food. I emailed 4 times to the company and still no response

Nice location but little to no preparation. Only one pasta machine for an entire class of 25 people. Small portions of flour and egg shared with an entire table of multiple parties. No individual guidance/direction on technique or how to accomplish steps. We made the best of the experience, but not a great value.

The nicest guy in the world, patient under the circumstances with the issues in the venue, beyond anyone’s control. But we was clear and helpful and his Alfredo Pasta was delicious!

Chef Jimi was great! Both my wife and myself enjoyed the fantastic meals he prepared for us to celebrate Mother’s Day 22’. We would definitely book him again, despite a hiccup in timing- we were very satisfied and I’m sure you would be also if you booked him!
