    We did my 7-yr old's birthday here. It was such a hit with girls and boys. It's a beautiful space with natural light. The cooking area is right in the center so the parents could sit back and watch while the kids enjoyed the cooking activities. Chef Paulo was great with the kids, keep them entertained and in line. Highly recommend!

    I went there for a company party, and the experience was great. We had the place all to ourselves and we really enjoyed preparing our own food. It had high quality food that was exciting to create and eat. Highly recommended if you want a great time with friends and to learn a bit about cooking!
