Nice event. Definitely better than spending a day in front of TV, but felt it was overpriced even at a discount. Did not expect to wait in line to enter - I think it should've been better organized. Lots of wine and food to taste - can't complain.

It was a waste of $45. Would have been upset if I paid full price. There were not many food vendors. There were mostly sweets and wine.
I didnt have lunch and was starving. The only decent hot food was a steak vendor. There was a long line to get a 3" thin sliver of a steak. I would have liked to spend $45 for a nice meal somewhere. Very disappointing!
I guess the girl in the ad eating a piece of chocolate should have been an indication of what to expect. Go there for dessert after lunch!
