Our first course at dinner was a series of compounded butters that had little wicks in them. We each had matches so we could melt the butters and dip or spread them on our breads. Dinner was incredible too. My favorite was the chimichuri skirt steak. So delicious. The chef came out and introduced each course, and we were served by his sweet family. Such a great night!

My spouse, a few close friends, and I spent about two hours learning the basics of sushi preparation under Chef Don's expert guidance--and we loved every minute of it! Chef Don struck the perfect balance of professionalism and laid-back charm. He created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of their skill level. His instructions were clear, easy to follow, and he made sure everyone was engaged and having fun. We learned to make several classic rolls ourselves, and it was so satisfying to enjoy something delicious that we had just created. One of our favorite parts of the night was getting to torch our own sushi rolls--yes, with actual fire! It added such a fun, interactive twist to the experience and made us feel like real sushi chefs for a moment. Chef Don is clearly well-respected throughout Southern Riverside and San Diego County, and it's easy to see why. His passion for sushi and teaching really shines through, and his reputation as a top-tier chef and instructor is well deserved. If you're looking for a fun, unique night out with friends or family--especially if you're a sushi lover--this experience is a must. Highly recommend Chef Don's class to anyone looking to roll up their sleeves and try something new!

We had the most memorable evening at Chef Stephanie Chinchilla's chef's table. The experience was…read moreintimate, warm, and beautifully executed from start to finish...every dish told a story and every detail felt intentional. We began with the Aji tuna on crispy rice, topped with a delicate sliver of jalapeño and crispy shallots, a perfect balance of freshness, spice, and crunch. The second course was Stefanie's famous focaccia...one sweet and one savory. The savory version featured parmesan, her homemade bread and butter, pickles from her garden, and a touch of mustard seed. The bread, made simply with flour, water, and salt, takes two to three days to create. The sweet focaccia was equally impressive, topped with brie, honey, and a guava jam made from her own garden-grown guavas... truly special. Next came the sweet potato course, made from her garden's harvest and paired with roasted pine nuts and coconut-shaved gnocchi in brown butter. The flavors were rich yet comforting, and the presentation was artistic and thoughtful. The main course... short ribs with a stunning potato gratin, was a showstopper. The short ribs were tender and deeply flavorful, garnished with delicate edible flowers from her garden, while the gratin was layered beautifully and topped with a fragrant chimichurri. Dessert was one of the best I've ever had: a sticky toffee date cake with a caramel apple sauce made from apples in her garden, served with raw cream vanilla bean ice cream. The balance of warmth, sweetness, and texture was perfection. The wine pairings, thoughtfully curated by Oscar from Sequoia Grove Winery, elevated the entire experience, from the velvety Merlot to the bold Cabernet, every sip complemented the food flawlessly. What makes Chef Stefanie so special is her warmth and authenticity. She shares her passion for food and where it comes from in a way that's engaging and educational, never pretentious. She spends time presenting each dish beautifully, with an artist's eye and a chef's heart. Her artistry, attention to detail, and genuine love for her craft come through in every course. I'll absolutely be attending her future chef's table events, a beautiful evening of intentional cooking, soulful flavors, and gracious hospitality.

Everything was supposed to have been cut and prepared in advance at what Anthony said was his commercial grade kitchen in Redlands. Nothing was prepared at all. He had to use my kitchen for everything. Food service started over an hour and a half late. Poor quality ingredients, quiche pie crust being low grade store bought, which reflects everything else that was finally served. He ran out of food almost immediately. He was very unprofessional laughing and talking with others loudly in my kitchen while he was running so late with putting the food out. It was an awful experience for me and I would never use him again or recommend him under any circumstances. I could have done better myself and saved $8,000! And all this followed by ghosting me to even apologize. DO NOT USE THIS CATERER.

One thing I did notice is that since they recently moved, there wasn't a clear sign on the building with the Painted Earth name, so I wasn't completely sure I was at the right place when I first arrived. A little more signage would definitely help! Overall, we had a really fun experience and I'd definitely come back!
