Terrible company. They had canceled on me when I was in a foreign country at the last minute…read morebecause the chef was sick. I scheduled something with them in Boston and had an emergency and had to fly home early. I contacted them in advance and they would not refund or give a credit or anything. I guess it's OK for them to leave you stranded and cancel on you, but if you have an emergency, they don't care. They had plenty of notice and could have gotten someone to fill our places or offered a credit, but they chose to do nothing. Awful people. I also contacted the chef who wasn't very nice either. I kept getting reminders about the dinner after I canceled as well. I will never use cozy meal again after these two experiences. Save your money.

We attended Chef Harold's Sushi 101 course. This was a small group session that was held at Long…read moreLive Beerworks 152 Hampden Street Boston, MA 02119. Chef Harold was extremely informative and a great instructor. We really appreciated his time and attention to all of our questions. The only downside was initially. The music was pretty loud in the venue and it was hard to hear what the chef was saying. Eventually it was turned down and everything was so fun. I would recommend this to anyone. The venue was also very good with service at the counter. Their selection of brews was quite delightful!

I prepaid for a class of 17 for a "Chocolate Truffle Making Class" in Atlanta, GA 6-8 weeks prior…read moreto the date of the class. I sent out invitations to some of my best customers. The night before the class was to take place, I received notification that there was a "time" change...to the next week. That is not a time change, that is a DATE change - which is something else entirely. Oh, and I don't live in Atlanta...I flew in for this event. Needless to say, the class was cancelled as they had nothing else to offer me as a substitute. Not using CLASSPOP ever again.

The Little Italy (North End) Tour was the best food tour I've experienced. Audrey was a dream, and…read moreit was delightful to see how integrated she is to the neighborhood and how much they love her! The pace was great for my mobility issues and each stop was fun and tasty! My husband and I had such a great time - the highlight of our trip to Boston!

When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.

I hired Richard and Katie to come to my apt to give me an private cooking lesson. I didn't really…read moreknow what to expect, and when they asked me what I wanted to learn I told them I wanted to learn "some of the basics". Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.

Invited to an impromptu event, and I had to come up with a memorable gift…read more Blackstone's of Beacon Hill to the rescue! Not only do they have a dizzying array of gifts small and large, they also stock anything you need as far as kitchen utensils, candles, greeting cards, charming and unique knick knacks and countless other items too numerous to mention here. Pair that with amazing customer service and salesmanship either by phone from Ms. Angela or in person from Ms. Arielle, the staff is top-notch. (apologies if I mispelled, Ms. Ari;-) Y'all definitely have to come and have a look around. I plan on coming back in the near future for a more leisurely browse through soon

Best selection of knives. Was really excited to discover this store, and see that they take knives…read moreseriously. In Downtown LA there is a fantastic store that has an insane number of knives... maybe too many. This store claims that they they have the biggest selection of knives in New England. I feel like they have enough good knives to have a varied enough selection for different preferences, but yet not overwhelming their customers with too many choices. I got a great bread knife that I'm really happy with recently. It's just the right weight (not to light) and has a really comfortable grip and an "elegant" length. It makes cutting breads really smooth and easy to cut very thin slices. It is apparently their best bread knife, and at $150, I think the price is right. Despite being on Beacon Hill, I don't feel that their prices are high or unreasonable, but just right. The store is fun to browse through for many other kitchen or cooking supplies or gifts. As a well-stocked mom and pop store it has that quality of surprise at finding something you never thought about. The personnel is also very helpful. I've been there a couple times and they seem to be knowledgeable and willing to help, to explain things and answer questions. They have personal experience with the things they sell.

Terrible experience and customer service -- stay away! I…read moreplaced an order and paid extra for 2-day shipping. Got a shipping notification a couple days later. Several days later, tracking showed UPS still hadn't received my order. Emailed customer service for an update. No response except a generic auto-reply. Several days later I tried to call the store and was told they don't handle online-shopping customer service; email is the only contact method. Two weeks after placing my order, since UPS still hadn't received my item, I emailed to cancel my order and get a refund. Still no response. Ultimately, I contacted my credit card to dispute the charge and, miraculously, within a couple hours Milk Street finally got back to let me know my order was canceled. I will never do business with Milk Street again.

My review is about East Fruit Smoothies' Jamaican food available on the weekends…read more. I haven't tried their smoothies as yet which is what they are known for hence the name lol... but as a Jamaican missing home food often it's a nice to know there's somewhere nearby other than Flames. It's not a large selection of dishes, just: Jerk Chicken, Oxtail and a curried Vegetarian option. We ordered the Jamaican loaded fries with oxtail and the classic Jamaican plate with jerk chicken. I know making food taste exactly like it does in Jamaica can be a challenge to some restaurants because of what's available locally in America and can be a hit or a miss but their food is very close to authentic for anyone who hasn't tried Jamaican food before. I liked the loaded fries with the oxtail. It's a great way to combine more Jamaican culture with wherever loaded fries were invented. Personally, I think the fries could do without the jerk powder. The oxtail itself is really good. - 9/10 I didn't try the Jerk Chicken plate since my husband ordered that separately for his lunch the next day and he said it was good. He said he was able to get 2 meals out of it but only thing missing is some raw / steam veg / macaroni on the side lol - 8/10 I'll be back to try the oxtail plate and try a smoothie!

I went to Bow Market on a Friday night and stopped by Nibble Kitchen... just to try a nibble. They…read morehad a special Nagomi Bento Menu, so I decided to try something out. I went with the Salmon Onigiri, which was essentially a rice ball that had little bits of salmon in it and some scallions on top. It had a nice texture and the outside was blowtorched, so the rice had a fun smokey flavor to it. This was by no means a meal, so I'd recommend ordering a few if you're on the hungrier side. I would recommend eating outside or at Remnant Brewing, since the restaurant is pretty small. The staff there was really nice, even though I just ordered a small snack. Great spot if you just want to grab a quick bite. I would be happy to visit again and try another menu offering!
