From the initial inquiry through the end of the evening of the event the entire staff was responsive, kind, flexible and just professional! The food was amazing, the space was perfect and the staff was so friendly and so professional. Chef Mike at the Italian Steak Sandwich Station was GREAT!!!! I can't recommend this venue enough for a fun night out with friends but especially for a large corporate event.

I'd heard good things about their cooking classes and catering, so got curious about whether they offer smaller à la carte options. Lucky me, they do! I got an individual side of the roasted butternut squash and it was delicious. Smoky with a touch of sweetness topped with fresh herbs. Healthy home cooking without the work? That's a win!

Who knew I had such a talented team! We held our annual in-person team building event this year in…read moreWinston-Salem. My department is comprised of all remote workers, so we usually only see each other in virtual meetings. Just shy of 40 people broke up into 4 teams to cook 4 separate dishes from veggie to dessert. We had such a great time! I always send out a survey to my team regarding the annual event and every bit of feedback I received regarding the Iron Chef Experience was 100% positive! The experience was well organized, well managed, and in a great facility. All of the food was amazing and I feel some great bonds were formed across all areas of my department. I would highly recommend these guys for whatever level of event you are looking into.

We had a surplus birthday party at our home. Chef Don came to our home and, with the help of 4 dear…read morefriends, transformed our kitchen into a cooking classroom. We made a delicious salad dressing, chicken Florentine, ratatouille, and flaming cherries jubilee, to pour on top of a decadent Bobby Boy's Bakery chocolate cake! Everything was delicious. Chef Don regaled us with interesting stories of his world travels as a chef on a private yacht, chef for a catering company that served several major airlines, executive chef for a major tobacco company, and chef and owner of several restaurants. All who attended felt like we learned some tricks, were well fed, and made a new friend!

We went to this place for a 4-year old birthday party…read more Honestly, the concept is fun, but the "teachers" kept insisting on the parents leaving to get their "grown-up time" and kept suggesting bars and coffee shops around. Some parents left but some of us stayed because we wanted to see what it all was (which the teachers were clearly disappointed with lol). They made the kids all sit around a table and all the kids took turns adding ingredients to a bowl and stirring with a whisk as the teacher brought everything to each kid around the table. One of the teachers spilled flour on my son's head, and another doused one of the girls' pancakes in syrup where they were literally drenched in it. Some kids got their food and started eating while two of the kids were just sitting there waiting for the next batch of pancakes, watching their friends eat theirs. Also, the menu was pancakes with syrup, ice cream sundae (kids made the ice cream, pancakes and whipped cream) and then cake of course... everything sugary, all before lunch time. And then the teachers suggested we take the kids to a nearby park to blow off their energy. Needless to say, all the kids were super wired up and all the parents were quite annoyed because no one ate lunch nor napped. But like I said, that was a neat concept and knowing this, maybe you can find an appropriate time of the day for your party so parents won't be annoyed.

She was extremely polite as well as her assistant and communication was very clear! Now THE FOOD! The Food was Amazing everything tasted even better than I expected! I would describe the spread I order as Caribbean Meets Comfort Food. Jerk Chicken, Honey Fried Chicken and Waffles! Also Caribbean Style Chickpea Stew and Coconut Rice! And a lovely Cobb Salad(oh and I can't forget the Amazing Ginger Beer Cake with Rum). Chef Nel even added a few bonuses for an extra amazing experience. Overall this was an excellent choice for my event and I will be sure to contact Chef Nel first for future event!

I attended the sushi class and it surpassed my expectations. I would have never thought that I…read morecould make sushi or have fun cooking! The instructor, Sheera, is very knowledgeable, organized, professional & most importantly, patient. I learned many useful things in the class. We made 2 types of sushi rolls and still had enough to take home. Sheera even gave each member of the class ingredients (rice, nori & shrimp) to get started at home. I certainly appreciate the small class size (5-6) because it allows for more individualized attention for those, like myself, who may need a little extra guidance ;-) During dinner the group felt very casual and acquainted although I had only just met everyone. I felt so inspired after the class that I am planning to prepare my own sushi diner party in the near future. I certainly would recommend this class & will attend again!

I shop here regularly and truly enjoy the experience. The Village Store is part of our quaint Main Street area not to be overlooked. You can shop for housewares, local foods, boutique clothing and jewelry, toys, Lake Life and Lake Norman local gifty items, like tshirts, pillows, tea towels, etc. There is so much to look at here, and trust me, you will find something you love! The staff there is very friendly and the store is so well stocked. The prices are very fair compared to other boutique style stores, but I'd say the Village Store has the biggest selection of home and gift items in the Lake area. They have begun putting out their fall decor, and they really have some beautiful displays during the Christmas season. I really enjoy shopping here.

The staff are very welcoming and friendly, too. I only wish they were open later on Saturday night (like 7 or 8pm) so we could visit after dinner, rather than having to go before. Definitely check this place out of you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else!
