We loved working together to make a delicious herbed fettuccine. I feel like we learned everything we need to know to be able to replicate the dish at home. I also loved the location. We enjoyed a nice glass of Cabernet from Gourmage while we cooked, and while we ate the pasta we created. Nicole and Stephanie made the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. I can't wait to do another class there.

She managed to do this with limited space and I must say, we had an enjoyable time working together! Thanks, Chef Nicole!

My husband and I signed up for a class with a big group of our friends just to try it out. I've…read morebeen to a similar class at Central Market in Dallas and had a good time and was excited to try this class. It turned out being 50% hands off, as the first half of the class, we spent watching the instructor tell us what we're supposed to do while she either demoed, or it was already done for us, or we passed a bowl around a group of 14 and took turns mixing. She said it was time for a break after about 45 mins in and I was thinking 'a break from what?, we hadn't even done anything yet'. Additionally, she spent a good amount of the time selling the Breville appliances we were using. Upon return from break, we were divided into groups and we made the pasta (running it through the device to make flat noodles as it was already made into dough for us). There was a sense of accomplishment from making the pasta. I do wish it was much more hands on as that's how I learn best. Lastly, there was an obvious and awkward dynamic between the instructor and her assistants. Every time she politely asked one of them for help with something, one specific assistant would retort "hold on, let me finish this." Or she would take her sweet time and had a clear attitude with body language and facial expressions. We all talked about it during our break. It was so obvious that either there was some sort of argument or fight prior to the class or they just really didn't like the instructor. It was obvious to all the participants and it felt uncomfortable at times. I even offered that assistant some of our wine though she politely declined. It was definitely unprofessional behavior. We were so excited for this class. So much potential given the brand. A real let down. In fact some of the nice people we met recommended some other cooking classes that were much more hands on and a good time. I don't recommend.

I recently checked out the café at the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio. I ordered a…read morematcha, but unfortunately it was way too sweet for my taste. That said, the pastry was excellent( super fresh and definitely the highlight of my visit.) My total came out to about $14, which is a bit on the pricey side, but I don't mind paying it knowing it supports the students and their training. Parking is something to plan for: you only get 30 minutes free at the Kohler Garage, and the Pearl District no longer offers two-hour free parking. There is paid public parking available nearby, though. I would absolutely come back for their dinner-course meal. I've done it multiple times and love it every time. However, I'd probably skip the café drinks in the future and just stick to the pastries.

The online booking process was easy, we ordered the large package (up to 4 people, 1 large item, 1 medium item, 2 small items and glass bottles). Checking in was very swift and easy as well, Grant (the owner's husband) was super friendly and explained everything very clearly! We ended up getting to break a large wooden dresser, a wooden table with glass panels, an old monitor, and a keyboard. Tools for destruction (baseball bats, a large metal wrench, sledgehammers) goggles, gloves, and a JBL speaker were provided for us. You can even bring your own items to destroy as long as they aren't something with chemicals/oil in them. You can also bring your own tools to destroy things as long as they aren't blades. We got 50 minutes to destroy everything, we got everything done in about 45 minutes, so you get a decent time to break stuff. All cleanup is handled by the staff, so you don't have to worry about making a huge mess. That's the point! I would definitely return, was smiling and laughing all through the entire 50 minutes we got. Would recommend wearing a long sleeve, maybe jeans, and some thicker shoes/boots since you'll be stepping on glass most of the time. Be mindful that fragments of glass/wood WILL go flying, so be aware of your surroundings and use common sense. We had a blast and couldn't recommend this business more!
