    Yummy BBQ

    by MG22 on 6/19/23Outdoor Entertainment Center - Ridgefield

    Loved watching the chefs prepare their dishes! Sampling different beverages, and buying some tasty food. Not so lucky in the casino, but it was a fun afternoon.

    Over priced

    by A. L. on 6/14/23Ilani Cowlitz Ballroom - Ridgefield

    We 80.00 each to get in. Then had to pay to sample the bbq there not worth what we paid

    Tasty, but not as advertised

    by KBJ on 6/14/23Ilani Cowlitz Ballroom - Ridgefield

    The food was (mostly) delicious, the drinks were plentiful, and the lines were short. Those were the highlights. Unfortunately, the event was not conducted as advertised, with half the billed headliners not present, only 2/3 of the food booths promised, and one chef ran out of (over charred) meat 25 minutes into the event and closed down the booth. All in all, I am disappointed in the experience for the price, as what we got wasn't what we signed up for.

    BBQ Fest @ ilani

    by Jim on 6/14/23Outdoor Entertainment Center - Ridgefield

    It was a great experience in every aspect, from the time we arrived until we left hours later. The ilani folks get a superior rating for how well this was put together and managed. Something we would definitely do again!!

    First time going it it will NOT be the last!

    by Christine on 6/13/23Outdoor Entertainment Center - Ridgefield

    Seeing chefs you’ve watched on TV cook and interact with the crowds and one another in person is an awesome experience. I will go every year and attend more events. I truly enjoyed everything about the day.

    Great concept, needed better execution

    by NewCreation on 6/13/23Hotel Pool Patio - Ridgefield

    The venue was beautiful. The number of chef offerings for the price was not great. 6 bites for $178. The saddest part was that some chefs staged their food before it was served and that left us with cold food that might have been tasty when hot. It was the first so hopefully the next time will be better. It was a fun evening but more food for the price would be nice.

    What a Fantastic Evening!

    by CeCe on 6/12/23Ilani Cowlitz Ballroom - Ridgefield

    We had such a wonderful time at the Ilani BBQ Fest! Meeting the chefs was awesome...but the real star was the FOOD! Oh. My. Gosh. I have never been so full from eating small bites before. My personal favorite was the Elk steak, but my husband is still raving about Chef Tila's pork belly. And, really, it's not every day that you have an Iron Chef (Chef Michael Symon) actually cooking for you! Next year is already on the books for us - we can't wait!

    Great experience

    by Chuck on 6/12/23Ilani Cowlitz Ballroom - Ridgefield

    Fantastic variety of really good food. The band was rocking! A really cool group of culinary professionals on hand, very talented and accommodating to us fans. I’ll do it again in a minute. Well worth the time and money spent.

    Room for improvement

    by GSJ on 6/12/23Ilani Cowlitz Ballroom - Ridgefield

    The event description was inaccurate. We were assuming we would have an experience similar to a chef table, but definitely not the case. Great food but different stations were set up to grab your appetizers with limited seating available.
