As we had 5 people we were able to have a private event and we could choose what we wanted to cook from his options. We chose the pasta and ravioli making class. I wasn't sure what to expect, and thought maybe we'd be watching the Chef cook and maybe we'd be following along but nope, he had us dive right in and follow the recipes he provided using ingredients he had at the ready. Since there were 5 of us, we worked in groups of two each working on different recipes and all along Chef was right there watching us and helping us and giving us pointers (3 of us were pretty seasoned cooks and knew a lot about cooking but we still learned a lot!!) Chef was very patient even when mistakes were made or something didn't turn out right he told us how to fix it. In 3 hours we made homemade focaccia bread, fettuccine, fresh basil angel hair pasta as well as sausage and cheese stuffed ravioli along with 3 types of sauces- Alfredo, marinara, and vodka. And then while we were eating this delicious food he began to show us how to prepare our dessert of bananas foster allowing the birthday girl to do the honors of igniting the rum by just the tip of the pan. Wow! What an amazing fun evening! The kitchen was huge, well appointed and clean and Chef was amazing to work with every step of the way from the planning to the execution. He offers date night menus for couples as well as many other menus. I highly recommend an evening cooking with Chef Chris. This was definitely one of the highlights of our birthday weekend/family get together.

A perfect way to ring in the New Year…read more An absolutely fantastic New Year's tasting menu at Mirko's Taste of Europe. Every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor--from the crispy mushroom arancini and silky saffron shrimp chowder to the incredible appetizer trio (the quail egg and caviar bite was a standout!). The lamb with spiced lentils was rich and comforting, the beet and pear salad was fresh and elegant, and the holiday turkey roll felt festive without being heavy. Dessert--classic North German rote Grütze--was the perfect bright finish. An off-menu pour of Château d'Yquem 2015 made the night truly unforgettable. Creative, refined, and welcoming--Chef Mirko delivers an experience that always feels special. Can't wait for another incredible experience

As I walked around this store, no employee greeted me. I thought that the selection of merchandise was a high quality and had some high prices. I chose one food item, a pantry item, to purchase.

She correctly rang up my purchase, and she asked me to donate money to St. Jude's Foundation, which I did. I have not yet use the pantry item in my kitchen.

I arrived at 2:00 pm and the store didn't have the merchandise pulled. Furthermore, the store didn't have the order. Since they had the merchandise, I asked if we could just pull it and mark the order received. Since they didn't have the order, I was referred to the 877 number. So, I bought the items and called customer service who cancelled the order. The sales associates seemed overwhelmed with the 2:00 pm crowd. I received help and suggestions in a timely fashion. The staff appear to be knowledgeable. Snarky customers heckling the sales associates didn't help. Christmas/Hannukah/etc comes at the same time every year. Your lack of planning shouldn't be taken out on the associates. Be nice.

There is so many pottery to choose from but I'd recommend having a rough idea of what you want to paint beforehand so you take less time selecting. I originally wanted to paint a matcha chawan bowl but they were sold out. I opted for a small bowl from the cheap pottery section (this is a section of slightly messed up pottery for a heavily discounted price). Prices in this section could range from $3-$20ish? Either way, it's on the low end and very affordable. You can choose 5 colors and you pay for the pottery piece you + the price of painting it (I believe we paid about $16-17 per person). So fun and we had a blast looking up painting inspiration from Pinterest and chatting while we finished our bowls! It takes about 2 weeks to get your item back so still waiting on mine but super excited to see how it came out!
