"We arrived early and were asked to come back when they were ready for us, as another class was still finishing up. We decided to take a walk up the street while we waited. When we returned, we were greeted by three different people who seemed a bit confused. We were seated and placed our drink orders. After about 15 or 20 minutes, other people started to arrive, and the class began.
We cooked our own food following their recipes and then shared the meal with 12 other diners in the group. For $35.00 per person, we received an appetizer, a soup, an entrée, a side dish, and a dessert, all while cooking with the assistance of their head chef.
The staff was friendly and fun, the ambiance was romantic and dark, but the cost without the Groupon was a bit expensive for my taste. The head chef, Jeremy, was excellent. He delegated tasks efficiently, gave clear directions, engaged in great conversation, and explained the cooking process thoroughly. By the end of the meal, I had enjoyed two servings of Gnocchi, a bowl of Zuppa, two pieces of lasagna, about two cups of blanched carrots, and Banana's Foster.
Overall, I will definitely be back. I enjoyed the hands-on cooking experience and the interaction provided by the staff, but Jeremy's expertise really made the class enjoyable. If it had been someone less passionate or knowledgeable about cooking, the experience could have been lacking. We will definitely return to try out their mid-winter class."
