Unfortunately, I did not have access to connect with him prior to the event but his pictures and reviews looked good. Glad I chose Chef Chris and his team because they were great. They showed up a little early to get set up and prepared. He did bring a lot of his own dishes and cookware. They were very kind to everyone but also focused on their craft. We had 4 courses. The food was amazing, everyone truly enjoyed the flavors and presentation. They cleaned up nicely and were out of there in no time at all. I would definitely recommend.

I came in mainly to watch the game and have a few beers, but the service was so good you'd think I had ordered the entire menu instead of just casually committing crimes against the free chips and salsa.

Honestly, if they treat a guy this well for drinking beer and demolishing complimentary chips, I can only imagine what happens if you actually order food. Definitely made me want to come back hungry.

One thing that stood out to me is how much value you get with the breakfast entrees. Compared to other spots, many items that are usually considered "extras" (like pancakes) are already included, which is a huge plus. Now let's talk about the pancakes--because they deserve their own moment! The lemon blueberry pancakes were absolutely amazing and easily the star of the show. I would come back just for those alone. With reasonable prices and a large, diverse menu, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

The Cookery is a great date night / group activity spot if you're looking for something fun,…read moreinteractive, and just different enough to make you feel like you have plans. I came for the sushi-making class, and overall, it was a really good time. The setup was smooth, the atmosphere was lively, and the whole experience felt more like a social night out with a little culinary cosplay which honestly, has its place. They also offered wine and sake pairings, and you can BYOB, which definitely helps keep the vibe festive. That said... if you're hoping to leave with the confidence to open your own omakase counter in a strip mall, this is not that. A lot of the components were pre-made or prepped ahead of time, and there wasn't a ton of actual teaching around technique, ingredients, or the food itself. So while you do "make sushi," it's less MasterClass and more cute, hands-on dinner activity. But honestly? That's not necessarily a bad thing. Not every class needs to end with a knife skills certification and a spiritual relationship with sushi rice. Bottom line: Come here if you want a fun, low-pressure experience for a date night, girls' night, or team outing. Just set expectations correctly: this is more about the experience than becoming the next IronChef.

Date night! Great spot for couples or group parties wanting to try something new and learn some…read moreskills in the kitchen. Everything is split up amongst the groups so don't be scared thinking you'll be cooking the whole time. We selected the Cocktail Party event which consisted of appetizers and drinks. I wish I would've taken more photos but that would've required constant washing of the hands! Menu consisted of Sweet and spicy caramelized nuts( Amazing) Warm Crab dip Crostini( Spectacular, but I think we preferred it cold) Crispy Prosciutto Green Goddess Deviled eggs( probably our favorite appetizer..and she doesn't even like deviled eggs) Ahi Poke/Avocado Wontons( we might actually try the crab mix in the wontons) Chili Lime shrimp and Mango salsa lettuce boats( I thought it was excellent but she felt it was too spicy) Candied Orange infused Dark chocolate bark( awesome and the sea salt on top made it the perfect dessert). The drinks had a little something for everyone. I'm a whiskey on the rock kinda guy so the drinks were a little on the sweet side for me, but to each their own. Martinis, Magaritas, Gin Fizz, Old fashioned and a Caipirinha(yeah I never heard of it either but it was good!) I'm aware the price may be a little more daunting than your normal date nights but the experience and the quality ingredients made it well worth it!

I tried the edamame falafel bao, tofu bao, tempeh banh mi, and vegan chocolate cheesecake and everything tasted great. I especially was a fan of the edamame falafel bao. I would definitely come back to try more items. The employee at the counter was also very helpful as she assisted me in ordering vegan friendly options.

For food, ordered bang bang shrimp and buffalo chicken banh mi. Let me tell you... the buffalo chicken one was perfect . Now, buffalo chicken is not usually a flavor that we have on banh mi but this place perfected it. The bang bang chicken banh mi was also very good! It would be better with more bang bang flavor but still very good the way it is. Would definitely order both, again! Parking- parking lot in the back Ambiance- plentiful seating and clean

Until this past weekend. We went in for my partner's birthday, and I'm sure glad we did. They normally don't like rich desserts or cakes, but they love pretty nice, high end dark chocolates. Chocolate Secrets did not disappoint. We arrived with our family, including two little ones in tow. They actually treated our kids with such love and care. It was slightly understaffed, but even then the service was excellent. We ended up taking a box of nine chocolates to go. Pro tip: they also host jazz nights on most nights. It also seems like a really cool spot for hosting events. My favorite so far was the Yes Yes Yes Truffle. It has milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. All in all, a Dallas institution that I'm so glad I went to.
