Yannis is a great chef and host. The food was sophisticated, delicious and Yannis explained to us all the steps and ingredients in a masterful way. Beyond the food, which again, was amazing, we had a great time with Yannis as it is very easy to connect with him and have a great conversation. Also, the house and environment were very very cool. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Yannis!
