They were hoping to find a private chef in Las Vegas to cook them an infused dinner. Long story short, Chef Vee responded almost immediately and we got to planning the dinner, with only 8 days advance notice! Not only were she and Natalie the coolest, Chef Vee tailored everything on the menu towards what we were looking for (and some we didn't know we were looking for...). My fiance and I are in love with Peruvian cuisine, especially seafood, and once we learned that was Chef Vee's specialty, we were beyond excited to try her infused take on some classic dishes. She and her assistant arrived on time, were wearing gloves and a mask, and got right to cooking while entertaining us with stories and just hanging out. The food was outstanding; it felt like we were taken right back to Peru, and the infusions put us in a very chill state of mind. They hung out with us after dinner for a bit and once they departed, our kitchen was spotless and our fridge had some leftovers that were gone the next day very, very quickly. Would definitely recommend for their good company alone, but the food was everything we hoped for and it was the unanimous highlight of our weekend. Thank you Chef Vee! 10/5 Stars.

The program is fast-paced, and what you take from it really depends on the effort you put in. Chef Michel stood out for his calm and focused teaching style. His clarity and composure made it easy to absorb complex techniques. He was always prepared and skillful about course-correcting any issues without disrupting the flow of the class. He also shared occasional operational insights, like references to Nevada's HACCP, that were especially helpful for those interested in starting a business. Chef Amaury's perfectionism was equally impressive. His attention to detail and creative standards challenged us to be more thoughtful and precise in our own work. Even for those with experience, it's worth attending. If you have specific areas you want to develop, both chefs are approachable and open to questions. If you show up ready to learn, there's a lot of knowledge to gain. Overall, I'm very pleased with my experience at the Pastry Academy.

Hey there! I just…read morehad to reach out because I'm still buzzing from the incredible cocktail party we hosted recently, and it was all thanks to Chef Lisa Cornish and her amazing team! We had a pretty intimate gathering, about 40 wonderful guests, complete with a fantastic bar, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and some truly divine desserts. Honestly, from the moment the first guest arrived, Lisa's staff were absolutely on point. They made sure everyone felt totally welcomed and completely taken care of, which was just so lovely to see. It felt like every single person on her team had a genuine smile for every request, big or small. Their professionalism combined with such warmth really shone through. They were, without exaggeration, simply outstanding. My guests haven't stopped talking about how impressed they were with everything - the food, the drinks, and especially the impeccable service. It truly made the evening a memorable one for everyone, and I couldn't be happier. Lisa is a dream to work with!! Just wanted to share this glowing feedback.

Lisa and her assistant were there very early and did a fantastic job preparing dinner. Lisa and her assistant were very personable and we even got a little bit of a comedy show. Our meal started off with the lobster bisque which was absolute perfection. Next we had a wedge salad, which was topped with bacon and blue cheese, and some other items, including tomatoes. I am not a wedge salad person, and I was converted. For our meal we had filet mignon on top of a bed of potatoes with asparagus. It was absolutely delicious and I could barely finish it. The meal ended with crème brûlée, which I cannot say enough great things about. Overall, it was one of the best dinners I have ever had. From the presentation, to the wonderful personalities of Chef' Lisa and her assistant, to the great company, it was a beautiful night with beautiful food.

Best Food Tour! (Especially if you have dietary restrictions or allergies)…read more If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, this is the tour for you!! My husband booked us a food tour and when he told me my expectations were not high. I've been to food tasting in the past but due to being a pescatarian, I usually left hungry and had to stop somewhere after to get food. That was not the case with Lip Smacking Foodie Tours. The took us to Carson Kitchen, La Mona Rosa, Oak & Ivy, Le Thai. We had food and drinks at Carson Kitchen, La Mona Rosa, and Le Thai and each place brought out multiple dishes to try. Oak & Ivy was a drink only and it was one of the best Mules we ever had. My husband loved every dish at each restaurant and I was brought out separate pescatarian/vegetarian version of the same dishes. When I tell you we weren't hungry the rest of the day, I'm not exaggerating. Throughout the tour, we also learned interesting fact about the area and the community. I am so happy we went on the tour and got to explore an area we probably wouldn't have went to and tried multiple restaurants. When we come back to Vegas, we will be coming back and we will be recommending this food tour to everyone!

Hi All I wish I had…read morean Lip Smacking Foodie Tour (LSFT) experience to share... instead, I had to cancel my reservation because I ate something that day (i wont mention where) and I had an upset stomach, so I could not attend the LSFT. I called to cancel the morning of my reservation. The male who answered the phone was not helpful at all. Basically he said no there would be no refunds if I cancel period. I called back to ask if I could have someone else attend in my place? Same guy, said no! I needed to be at LSFT at 5pm. I receive a text from LSFT at 4:38pm, saying what is the name of the person coming in your place? This is what the website says, "ARRIVE EARLY: Mandatory check-in 15 minutes prior to the posted start time of the tour. In fairness to those who arrive on time, we will depart promptly. Latecomers will not be admitted." Im on a vacation in Las Vegas, I am 45 minutes to 1hour away from the strip depending on traffic. How is anyone suppose to make it there in a 22 minute notice? LSFT needs to have better customer service. Apparently, I could have sent someone in my place, he should of said that on my first call as an option instead of cancelling? This is what their website says, "REFUND & RESCHEDULING POLICY: Tours are non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded, rescheduled, or exchanged for any other date or time. Tickets, however, are transferable." Why was I not told about tickets being transferable? Instead I was told "No", someone cannot come in my place? This LSFT is $285. Would you be just little angry? Again, have options, people in Vegas are on vacation, situations happen. Offering me another date to come back, issue a certificate or gift card good for a year? Bad customer service, poor training, no follow up call from a supervisor or manager to say, I understand you could not attend, however here is what I can do....? For the record I am not a Karen! I really wanted to check out LSFT! I should be refunded 100% or issued a certificate for a later date!

UNLV Extension offered the classes; I would recommend them to the nascent or experienced wine aficionado.

Honestly, it was all quite tasty and the staff was pretty busy with keeping the product stocked or presentable at the event. The Beef Wellington bites and sauce were pretty tender and easily melted in your mouth. The Chicken Salad croissant was quite tasty and wasn't soggy at all. The bread was nice and flaky and the chicken filling was delicious. The Slider was also tasty and the perfect size. The Black Bean and Corn bites were just ok. The flavor was there, it's just that the other items were just more flavorful. The Tomato and Mozzarella skewers were also tasty and the flavors perfectly complemented themselves. The Cheesecake Bites were exceptional. Perfect size and each melted in your mouth--chocolate, vanilla, and strawbereh were the options. The staff was able to replenish each station pretty quickly, between each group of people that came in and out of the catered food section of the event. All in all, I would definitely consider using them for a future event. The great taste, professionalism, and punctuality when it came to their business was pretty exceptional. Job well done!
