Chef's Counter- Exclusive Dining Experience in San Francisco

Cavallo Point, a luxury lodge at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in Sausalito, just introduced a new and intimate way to enjoy dinner. The well-regarded cooking school at this resort recently introduced the “Chef’s Counter” experience.

This is an interactive experience where guests have the opportunity to learn cooking secrets from the highly esteemed chef. You get the best of both worlds, with the atmosphere of a high-end restaurant and also the more personal experience of having the chef right in front of you. Head Chef Tony Adams is talented and passionate about cooking. He provides a unique experience to each and every one of his guests. He teaches professional techniques and offers remarkable insights. Classes are limited to six people to ensure individualized attention and care. The night will include a four-course meal that is paired with exceptional wines.
