We had a fun evening at Central Coast Culinary, doing one of their popular Trader Joe's cooking…read moreclasses. It was the first time we were here, and from the description online I thought this would be a hands-on class, where you learn new kitchen skills and prepare meals with a chef's instruction. This is NOT what these classes are! You come in and sit around the bar looking into an open kitchen environment where volunteers prepare the meals for you. Adjusting our expectations quickly, we still had a lot of fun at this dining event. We received the recipes for the eight or so dishes that were presented during the class, our favorites were the seared salmon with Miso honey sauce, shrimp and basil stir fry, stuffed tomatoes with goat cheese and zucchini, skillet tortellini with crispy prosciutto and spring vegetables, pan-roasted filets mignon with asparagus and the strawberry rhubarb crumble. You can bring your own wine, too. Chef Debbie narrates all dishes, provides tips on what to look out for when you're shopping for ingredients and gives instruction to the volunteers that so all the prepping, cooking and cleaning. I wish Debbie would use a microphone, as she mostly sat on the other side of the bar, and we had a hard time hearing her sometimes. When dishes are ready, they are passed down the bar in huge serving dishes, so you can take as little or as much as you like of each of the dishes. I would recommend the meals are put in smaller serving bowls/platters and multiple are being passed to the attendees. When you're at the end of the line, you might otherwise not get much of the food, or you're left with scraps. The serving platters were way to big, and uncomfortable to pass around. Also, please get tongs to make it easier to pass out the food - especially the pasta or asparagus. All in all a fun date night, we were full with delicious food and received some great tips during the night. Would I go again for $75 per person? Unlikely, I really missed hands-on instruction, and think it's too pricey for us to do on a regular basis.

From the moment I reached out to Kathryn, she was warm and friendly, detailed, upfront, responsive, and very communicative. She even worked with me to offer something new for the main course which was a new recipe she just tried for a recent event, and asked lots of questions to ensure that the food she was going to make suited our preferences. Kathryn accommodated our request to have dinner on the patio, and her presentation was amazing! Kathryn's warmth and friendly personality extended to the evening of the dinner as well. Kathryn's food was SO delicious!! Everyone gobbled everything up, and my kids couldn't get enough of the tzatziki! The wines that Kathryn chose for the courses paired very well. The fish was soooo good that there was nothing left on anyone's plates! Everything was delicious - shrimp fritter, tzatziki / pita, pomegranate salad, orange roughy with veggies and cous cous, and the chocolate mousse that was so light and yummmmmy! We had the full service meal option, and Kathryn explained all the courses and the wine nicely throughout. A huge plus was that our kitchen was spotless at the end of the evening, which was so nice not to have to worry about cleaning up at the end of the night. What an amazing experience - thank you Kathryn for making our anniversary dinner so memorable! If you are vacationing in Pismo Beach, or even if you live in the area, I would highly recommend that you reach out to Kathryn!

The planning process was simple, thoughtful and spot on. I told her of my wife's favorite foods and she incorporated them all into a spectacular dinner. She thoughtfully curated each dish and served and explained them all to our group. She prepared a "grazing board" to start and then spring salad, truffle Gnocchi, Salmon Caprese and Beef Braciole. The food was tremendous but her interaction and personality made it all. My highest recommendation! Thank you!

They did not understand my excitement over each curated and beautiful plate that came our way. Precision and talent appeared on each dish. This is not your typical brunch to pig out on typical breakfast foods. This was to die for elegance in a casual and open environment. You have to try it - if only just once. But, once you do the experience will haunt your memory and you'll need to visit again. My favorite dish of the day were the nachos and the monte cristo.

So far, I have taken five classes from Grandma Ingrid and Nicolle and I have learned a lot and…read morereally enjoyed each experience thoroughly. The classes are held in an over 100 year-old family home and it is very warm and inviting. It is fun to attend the hands-on classes and there are always interesting fellow attendees to meet. Ingrid has a lifetime of experience with home cooking and as a Master Food Preserver for the San Luis Obispo Cooperative Extension Office and her knowledge base is vast. I highly recommend taking a class from Ingrid and Nicolle to anyone who enjoys cooking and wants to learn something new. An added bonus is that breakfast and lunch are included with each in-person class and you get to take home whatever you learned to make, plus handouts and recipes.

The classes take place in a quintessential 100+ year old farmhouse. All the participants are snuggly seated in their home but everyone was lovely and having a wonderful time (tip - there will be 2 demonstration tables, sit at the one with the hanging camera. Talk about front row seats!). My class was candy making. We were supplied with a small recipe booklet of around 10 different candies. Plus, you'll also get recipes for the food they serve. Yes, that's right - they feed you! You get a light breakfast & lunch, all homemade food from Grandma's kitchen, including homemade bread. The farm homestead isn't hard to find. Just know that the last two 'streets' are dirt roads and you'll have a private parking attendant (Grandpa) waiting to direct you. It was very easy to make reservations online & they provide excellent communication both before & after the class. The cost was sooo worth it! Can't wait to sign-up for my next class.

I brought my work group here and we had so much fun learning how to make pizza and the dough. "I never knew the right way" clearly. It was exciting and fun. I thought I knew how to make a pizza until I came here. They set it up like chopped the tv show, you get to pick your ingredients, go to your station and make some yummy ass pizzas or whatever food there cooking. I highly recommend going here. Couldn't recommend it more. They are beautiful people and you will see that when you go!

I found this rental while researching venues for an engagement party. Looks nice from pictures and…read morevideos, but dealing with the owner was difficult. In addition to the $750 event fee, she requires that both suites be rented for a minimum of THREE nights (almost $2000). This not only is an exorbitant rate, but seems absurd considering we would only need the space for one evening. Still, I was willing to consider it as a retreat for the bride-to-be. The owner also stated that she would need to have final approval over our caterer, which struck me as utterly bizarre. When I inquired about viewing the property physically, she did not respond for nearly a week and I had to contact her again before receiving an answer. We set up an appointment, only to be informed that she would be away, but she would "leave a list" with her husband if we had any questions. The day before our appointment, she emailed to say they had people checking in early and that we either needed to reschedule or we could still come, but we would only be able to view the outside of the property. Considering the price point, I opted to reschedule. Then two days before our second scheduled appointment, I received an email from her with a "heads up" that she and her husband both had to be in SLO BY NOON, so please be on time for our appointment - our 11AM appointment that she had already rescheduled once and was now going to be rushing through so they could get off to SLO. I found the insinuation that I would not be punctual quite insulting. At this point, I determined that as pretty as the setting looks in their ads, continuing to deal with the owner was not worth the hassle. My advice to others is to look elsewhere, as I am doing. There are lots of wonderful venues in and around Paso that are operated by much more pleasant and reliable individuals.

Trattoria di Luca catered appetizers for cocktail hour and a pizza buffet for dinner. It was a huge hit! The food was absolutely delicious. We particularly loved the calabrese and carbonara pizzas. I was worried there would be lines at the buffet but he continuously had fresh pizza coming out of the oven. He was also nice enough to make a special "mr. & mrs." pizza for us. His staff were also incredibly nice and attentive. Nathan is so much fun to work with. He was also extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. You can't go wrong with Trattoria DiLuca!
