Guests Speaking Out

“The venue, the planning and the weaving of conversation, recipes, preparation, and whoa-baby, the complex layers of taste, texture, and presentation. Chef Jim turned it past 11!”

Craig C.

“Lavender honey gelato was the perfect ending to an amazing meal.  It's not often that a meal becomes "an experience" that will long be remembered. So glad to share it with special friends and to take a delicious-tasting trip through the Mediterranean.  Thanks, Chef Jim and company!”

Nancy C.

“For a “non-foodie,” this was an experience of a lifetime for me.  Every dish was amazing and Chef Jim did an awesome job explaining each course to us.  Definitely plan on doing this again.  I have already told several of my friends about the experience”
