Who misses the date night cooking classes? 🍷🍽️🫶

Who remembers our date night cooking classes from the Afishionados days? 🫶🍷🍽️

We’ve been talking behind the scenes, and we’re getting excited about bringing them back in near future!

There was something special about gathering together, sharing great food, learning new techniques, eAfishionadosw adult beverages, lots of laughs and story telling, and creating memories with friends, family, and fellow seafood lovers. We loved teaching our friends how to prepare seafood at home with confidence, walking through each course, step-by-step, explaining the techniques, answering questions, and of course enjoying plenty of delicious samples along the way!

The feedback we received over the years was incredible, and we can’t wait to create those experiences again at reef.

And while we’re dreaming up ideas… how about a special Oyster Night? 🦪🍺

Picture this… fresh oysters, cold beer, great company, and a fun evening spent with friends. Is that something you’d like to see? What other events, classes, specials, or themed nights would you enjoy???

We’re always listening because the truth is, reef wouldn’t be here without all of YOU. Your support, encouragement, kind words, and loyalty have meant the world to us. Every share, comment, review, visit, tag, and recommendation has helped us continue growing, and for that we are incredibly grateful. At reef we’re more than a restaurant, we’re a community & family…

We also wanted to share that we’ll officially begin our move next month! While we don’t have an exact opening date for the new location just yet, please know we’re working as quickly as possible to get everything ready. We are just as excited as you are for this next chapter, and we promise to keep everyone updated every step of the way.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey with us. We truly have the best customers and friends anyone could ask for. ❤️

Stay tuned! There are a lot of exciting announcements still to come! 🐟🦞🦪🫶🙏
