"I attended a birthday celebration that featured a fun pizza-making experience. Our instructor, Yndia, shared amazing tips and insights that made the session extra enjoyable. We also had a cocktail-making class led by Jose, who added a surprising twist I would’ve never guessed! The entire staff, led by Olivia and including Chia and Mike, went above and beyond to make the event memorable. We all left thrilled and full of compliments for this hidden gem in Arlington. Thank you – I’ll definitely be back soon!"
