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.

The chef and staff were excellent -- helped everyone prepare their dish and provided lots of great hands-on tips as we prepared the meal. The facility is top notch with great equipment, and the ingredients we used were very fresh. You can bring your own beverages and the best part is sharing the meal afterward that everyone came together to prepare, which was delicious! I will definitely be back to learn some new and interesting dishes. I highly recommend this class for all skill levels.

It's a good pick for team building or outing with friends, special other, or family. You get a recipe to make and Chef Alex is there to help guide you as needed. The ingredients are presented and you will do your own measuring, cutting, and cooking, just not the dish washing! At the end of the class, you enjoy a delicious meal with variety that everyone in the class prepared. Free street parking. They also offer Saturday children classes and summer camps. Private parties can be tailored to your preference of cuisine.

Even after the 1st day my meals at home were suddenly consistent and significantly better. 12 weeks later and I am confidently relaxed in my kitchen. I enjoy the ease that I feel now; from preparing dinner, menu planning, temp control, and little tips you just can't learn on google. Learning in person from Chef Jason and Chef Ben with a group of funny, eager, and caring adults has really shaped how I can give back to my family. This was the common denominator for all the students in our course. We wanted to learn a new skill to share with the ones we care about most, our families. "I haven't made a sh**** meal since day one of this course" - quote from my fiancé Take the leap and invest in yourself and your family plus laughing about it along the way is always a plus.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The class covered all the bases of what you could learn in a beginners cooking class. From potion, to fish, to veggies, to knifes skills it is a good balance. The pace was not too fast but not too slow. We would learn about a subject, watch the chef cook it and then do it ourselves. I really liked my chef instructor explained things thoroughly but not overly controlling. One of the best parts is you got to take your a recipe sheet home with everything you learned that day and the food that you made, my husband and my kids always loved that. Over all it was a great experience and I will be back for more classes!

The fresh hot popcorn, candy, and snacks were better than going to the big theater. Chairs were super cozy with extra pillows and blankets if needed and reclined for comfort. We all agreed that if we had to choose between a big theater and this, the The Place to Be is hands down the winner! There is also a picturesque view of the lake and mountain. It was a great experience from beginning to end and I highly recommend an event at the Place to be Crestline. Cheryl is amazing and a fantastic host. Thank you for your hospitality!

EVERYTHING was delicious! I had contacted Alex 4 weeks prior to the event and expected to an outline of everything 2 weeks prior. He did just that! He was extremely easy to contact since I had so many questions. We scheduled the tasting 2 weeks before the event and HONESTLY, everything was soooooo good! It was hard to eliminate a dish from the event! Alex and his staff arrived 30 minutes early, which I really appreciated. They set up everything ready to go before guests arrived. They were ready to serve exactly when they said they would be. He catered Italian Food for a 100+ party. Most importantly, the food - Pesto Penne, Shrimp Alfredo, Baked Ziti, Roasted Vegetables, Roasted Potatoes, Bread Rolls - was incredibly DELICIOUS. Pricing was great and Alex was able to work within my budget. In addition to providing wonderful dishes, he provided plates, napkins and silverware for our guests. Since we had our own Bar, we did not need him to provide drinks or cups (though he did offer as well!). I will definitely recommend him to all my family, friends, and EVEN ACQUAINTANCES!

I contacted them and immediately someone called me back, I believe it was Michael. He told me he was leaving the office but he would get back to me in the morning. He did! He sent me questions about what I wanted, the location, and what I wanted as far as my menu. I was in the dark and I told him that budget meets classy is what I was going for, but I didn't want seafood. He emailed some great ideas, but then 2 out of the 3 appetizers had sea food. I told him about it and I said he could leave one. He said he would send me updates and pricing. From there it took a turn, he was not getting back to me. Finally when I did call him he was apologetic and said he was busy with other events/ clients. I said no problem, but I needed to make sure everything was going to be taken for my event. He said he would revise, 2 weeks go by and I heard nothing ( I tried to be patient and give him the benefit of the doubt). Finally I ended up calling and said don't bother getting back to me. I was disappointed because I really was looking forward to using them and being apart of those great reviews.

I recommend Foodstory if want to explore Japanese food and want something fun to do with family or friends.

Be there a bit earlier as you wanna get free street parking instead of the paid parking $5 an hour next to the building. The class is on 4th floor. Aprons provided at the entrance. Two people share one cutting board. Yoko provided detailed instructions from start to finish including little Japanese culture stories here and there. Everyone gets a chance to cut fish sushi style. Be sure to wash your hands before touching the fish as everyone's eating the fish that multiple people are touching and cutting. Final products were so yummy. Def a bit different from the sushi you get at restaurants. Def a great date night if you enjoy learning about Japanese culture and food.

From the initial conversation, he listened closely to what we envisioned and added special touches that honored our loved one in such a meaningful way. The menu felt intentional, the flavors were absolutely delicious, and everything was prepared beautifully.

A Beautiful, Well-Stocked Studio Perfect for Crops and Creative Retreats…read more I attended a 3-day crop here for $79, and it was absolutely worth it. Just keep in mind -- it's a no-frills experience, which means you're paying for the convenience of a very clean, well-organized studio where you can craft comfortably with friends. The space is stocked with every tool, supply, and embellishment you could possibly need for scrapbooking, card making, journaling, or any kind of paper crafting. They even run a tab for you during your crop, which is so convenient when you find last-minute items you want to buy. Location & Space The studio is located in a business park, so it's easy to miss from the street. It's upstairs, but once you walk in, it's spotless and beautifully decorated -- vintage, feminine, and upscale in style. The layout and organization make it easy to find exactly what you need without digging through clutter. Experience & Staff Frank was there during my crop, and he's genuinely kind and helpful. People come in and out regularly, and it's clear the shop carries unique and hard-to-find products that keep customers coming back. I'm also part of the Journal Club and Card Making Club, and both are very reasonably priced. Whether you're crafting solo or with friends, this place is a gem. Highly recommend attending one of their crops or just stopping by to browse -- it's an inspiring space for any paper crafter.
