    Instructor was great :) Recommend having a single space for each student so we can prepare our own batch of food, and we won't feel crowded sharing one cooking space with four persons. And having a place to sit would also be nice....Cooking class

    One complaint, there didn't seem to be enough small burners for cooking. 3 burners for 10 people, there should have been 5 burners....If you're looking for a serious cooking class, try something else. Date night is about having fun.
