    Biscuit and gravy as part of breakfast
    Athenapex C.

    We stayed in January in the San Rafael cottage for $319.00 a night. I think for 3 nights for the quality of the stay that this was a little expensive. Accommodations were clean and decor was comfortable and quaint. The cottage is an older construction and there is an odd set up for where the closet where the water heater is and where the fridge and microwave and ironing board were contained. If you are looking at a remote quiet stay this was definitely a good location. It was too cold for us to take advantage of the pool. The check-in person was very friendly. The morning host/B&B person were polite but not super chatty which is fine with us because with the pandemic, we didn't really want to chat with people up close and personal. We have no idea what the vaccination status of the staff was and none of them were wearing masks. For us, we wore our masks in common places as that is what we are accustomed to doing so we were more conservative then all of the staff and a majority of the guests. The food was average and not what I would consider gourmet cuisine. Think Sandra Lee home cooking where it's 70% prepped and 30% homemade. It was comfort cooking circa 1980's. Familiar favorites but not cordon bleu which is at odds with their cooking school. I would not recommend the 5 course dinner on Saturday. We took a look at the menu and it was quite expensive for dinner for what was being offered. They have an automatic gratuity included in the meal that is more than $100 a person not including alcohol. The menu the weekend we went was a stuffed cheesy mushroom caps, broccoli cheese soup, nicoise salad, beef medallions, and a chocolate tart. If I am experiencing a 'gourmet' dinner, I want the foods to be ones that are challenging to make at home. I want someone else to sweat of the kitchen instead of myself. The menu does not seem complicated. The turndown service is offered every night except for Saturday. We had a large brownie and wine in a carafe on Friday and a large buttercake bar and wine on Sunday. These are old favorites but they are simple recipes that can be made with a simple cake box mix. On our first breakfast they served us a peach-flavored orange juice. we were also served a cup of fresh fruit. The breakfast included a hard cold biscuit and a small ramekin of sausage gravy that was barely warm. The belgian waffle was soft and not crispy and it had canned peaches on top. The best part of the meal was the sausage which was crispy and tasty. On our second breakfast they served orange juice with a cup of fresh strawberries and canteloupe. The breakfast included an apple cake was cold and hard but we were told it was made fresh that morning? II have used Sandra Lee's semihomemade short cuts and it felt like a box spice cake mix that was dressed up with some fresh apple chunks. The breakfast had a sausage/cheese ball (I have made this recipe myself which is breakfast sausage/bisquick/grated cheese). The breakfast quiche was a little off because the quiche didn't have cheese throughout it but instead had a thick heavy layer of cheese on top. It was almost too much cheese on top. On our third breakfast they served orange juice with a cup of fresh blueberries. The breakfast included a spiced muffin that was again hard and cold. The entree was crispy bacon (the protein has been the best part of each breakfast). The plate also included bananas foster french toast. They used fresh french bread which made the center of the french toast gummy and pretty much inedible. Little things that could have been better (at least or heat your bread item as they were hard because they were cold). The fruit cup was good and the protein was good. I will say this the portion sizes were very large but the food wasn't good so most of it was wasted.

    "Wine down" with complementary wine and home made brownies, delivered to your room.

    Where do I start? This place is not your typical bed and breakfast. My best friend and I had our weekend here and let me tell you, this place was the PERFECT venue for it. We stayed in the main house which was convenient since breakfast and dinner was served in their dining room. The food was amazing - they even catered to my dietary restriction. They had a "wine down" on Friday night and brought us wine and brownies. The breakfast is complementary and is made fresh in their kitchen by a gourmet chef. (Who also teaches cooking classes during the week at the bed and breakfast.) I fell in love with their lavender / peppermint shampoo and conditioner and bought one to take home. It was so relaxing to be there, I have never felt so refreshed in a long time until we visited this bed and breakfast. They also have several cottages in which one is a day spa- so we had a 90 minute massage/facial. They also have a pool and a hot tub in case you want to soak in either one. And they have complimentary drinks (tea, coffee, water, assorted beverages, wine). Their service was top notch, beats any hotel service you'll receive. I would highly recommend this place. Chris and Lois (the owners) are so accommodating and welcoming. We also had a warm welcome from the manager (Juliane?), forgot her name but she was amazing as well. Oh and if you want a nice 5 course dinner, dress up for a Saturday night dinner. Well worth it! We started our meal with some shrimp "scampi style" over angel hair pasta (special requested low carb so they made zucchini noodles instead ) - delicious! Then came out the lentil soup (which tasted exactly like Filipino "mungo"), then the caprese salad, and the entree which was braised Osso Bucco over cauliflower mashed potatoes and steamed broccollini. For dessert - my favorite - tiramisu! We even had a chance to talk to the che I could not have been more satisfied. I am already looking into when we can come back. Side note: this is the perfect venue to also have a Murder Mystery Party. Chris / Lois - please let me know when you guys have that! I'll definitely be back.

    Our Tea Party Set Up

    Blair Inn was the perfect choice to have celebrated a friend's pre 80 th birthday celebration. There were four of us and we had the whole house to ourselves. We booked the three rooms in the big house. Beautiful setting - top staff- delicious food- a Fox in the evening we named Blair- cool breezes in the evenings - we ordered hot tea upon our arrival for a ladies tea party - it was wonderful - served with delicious sandwiches - homemade scones- and a wonderful display of pastries and well - you will see the pictures of the delightful table. We were served wonderful breakfasts on our two night stay. And a picnic basket was available since we wanted to venture out to go to the Wimberley town square. We were told new owners had taken over and they have big plans to add wellness retreats, corporate retreats and cooking classes. We also made appointments at the spa on the property and wow - they were excellent. We had the reflexology massages and I would highly recommend. They are also done by experienced ladies. The Inn manager Jennifer was an exceptionally- personable lady- patient- accommodating and with her staff made our stay a most memorable one. We all definitely would recommend a stay at Blair House Inn.

    What a great little getaway! The staff at the Blair House were very attentive, the grounds were beautiful, the breakfast was delicious, and our overall stay was great. My wife and I only stayed one night as we were traveling but we wished we could have stayed more. We happen to be the only couple in one of three guest rooms at the main house so we basically had the common areas to ourselves. The owner and his staff take pride in their customer service and the land was very peaceful. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast for its customer service, location to the square, and the comfortable beds. We will be back.

I'm sad I was so busy enjoying the food that we forgot to take pics! We are an older foodie bunch, all whom have hosted with private chefs before and this one did not disappoint any of us! I asked for unique items (i.e. something I don't usually have or can cook myself) and Chef Nic sent me suggestions to choose from. We ended up with a 5-course meal which was way too much food, so afterwards we asked, "What course would we have skipped?" and couldn't decide! Chef brought most of the food prepared enough for ease of cooking and serving, and brought it all out in surprisingly even serving times. The chef immaculately clean-up my kitchen and even started the dishwasher. We highly recommend Chef Nic and Gather & Forge.

I am…read moretrying to incorporate more veggies into my diet, but knew I would need some help making them more exciting and flavorful. The class was a public class taught at Chef Amber's beautiful home, and I was joined by 9 other people eager to become more "green". Chef Amber was super personable, friendly, and clearly passionate about teaching us how to make healthy food that we want to eat, that is nutritious, and quick enough to put together for a weeknight dinner. I not only came away with 5 recipes I feel comfortable recreating on my own (and a multitude of variations, thank you!), but also picked up some knife skills, tips on kitchen utensils to use, tricks on how to store garlic and make my own veggie broth and so much more. Additionally, the atmosphere and vibe at Chef Amber's allows you to feel very comfortable asking questions, sharing life stories, cracking jokes (maybe that's due to the wine?), and overall having a ton of fun. I've already made a few of the recipes, Sunflower & Kale Pesto with Crudite and Kale Salad with Toasted Almonds, Avocado and Lemon Vinaigrette, for friends that we've had over and both received rave reviews. I highly recommend this class to anyone that is interested in eating great tasting food that makes you feel good. This class is not just for vegetarians! There were a few people in this class who had formerly shunned veggies and they came away the most excited about this experience. Can't wait to try out more recipes!

    Freda's Kitchen - Iron Chef Review…read more We engaged Ashley and her team to create an Iron Chef style event for our family of fifteen ages 5-84 over the holidays.

If we had known earlier, we would have brought our own additional drinks, but they did serve us wine. The kitchen was a little cramped for 14 of us, and compared to other cooking classes I've done, it was a little ad-hoc getting everyone organized. They didn't have a pre-set number of people for each station, and with only 2 staff, they were stretched a little thin helping everyone. It all worked out, but it was a little slow figuring out who would do what, with rough last minute estimates on how many people were needed at each spot. Still, our food was great, we all learned some new kitchen skills (though the chef did help us quite a bit to get us there!), and we had a fun time! There were tons of leftovers too.
