It's never overly crowded and the prices are great! The lunch menu is usually a little limited and I have had a couple lunch items that could have been better seasoned or were just a little off, but I keep going back because more often than not the food is great, the staff is friendly and the price is right!

This is my second visit. Each time the food is outstanding. I'm sure it would cost $30-$50 at a…read morerestaurant. High quality ingredients. Extremely well cooked. Good portion size. Cost is $12 includes tax. Tip is extra. The chefs rotate as the servers. Service is a work in progress so as long as you're prepared for that you will have a great time. The food is soooo delicious. Typically there are two apps, four entrees, two sides, and two desserts. You select one of each. Iced tea or soda also is included. I had the smoked trout spinach salad. The red beets were the best and the vinegarette was tasty. Slightly sweet. The smoked trout was ok, more spices would've been nice. The bean soup looked good and the reviews were positive. The entrees included prosciutto wrapped monkfish, spinach and ricotta ravioli, wiener snitzel, and brat with sauerkraut. I got the brat and it was great with Grilled butter bread. The potato salad was amazing. Included bacon, slightly warm, and sauerkraut flavor. The Brussel sprouts were grilled and maybe the best item in the meal. I wanted more! For dessert I selected the red wine poached pear with marscapone cream. It was good. Slightly sweet. The other option was tiramisu which was served in a wine glass and looked great! They rotate the menu every three weeks. Next is Asian! I think reservations are required and they only serve wed and thur. Note it takes about 1.5 hours to get through lunch.

This quarter's theme is Cajun, so I had shrimp, grits and collard greens with bacon (see pic) & beignets with berry sauce (also see pic). It was DELICIOUS & was cooked super quickly. AND the prices are super reasonable! ($12 for both!) Any tips for the wait staff go to a scholarship fund, as well. I would definitely recommend, but since it's a class, make sure to call ahead for hours & days it's open.

I'm not sure what I expected as the class listed 9 pasta dishes to be made... A part of me expected to see a scene from The Muppets where the Swedish Chef wrestles with a plate of pasta before getting attacked by it. There were a dozen of us, all seated comfortably around the large kitchen island. The cooking facility was spacious, clean, and well organized- the perfect space for a large group to move freely and cook amongst each other. We were offered complimentary water, tea, and coffee throughout the class. Chef Christie was amazing! Her upbeat energy was a pleasure to be around and her instructions were clear and concise. Her friendly persona made it easy to ask questions. We learned to make basic, egg, and wheat dough and shaped them into spaghetti, fettuccine, cavatelli, and ravioli. We then made some classic sauces to go with them: Bolognese, puttanesca, bacon tomato, and caramelized onion cheese. In addition to that, we made a cheese tortellini soup, sausage tomato lasagna, seafood cannelloni with basil cream sauce, butternut agnolotti with sage butter, and a spinach ravioli with charred tomato sauce. OH. MY. LORD. Brains overloaded with info and bellies satisfied, we all took a nap when we got home. :]

It had been many years since my last visit to Kitchen Conservatory, we had gone to the previous…read morelocation and had an average time but after a decade or so I decided it was time to try again. Wrong. There were two simultaneous pasta classes going. Our group seemed to have no clear direction. There were two pasta rollers and each kept malfunctioning with the handles falling off. It was at this point one couple left. It only went downhill from there. My sister kept saying we should just leave but I wanted to learn how to make pasta! And I paid a lot for this class so i was going to learn! But I did not. The revolt began and people just began cooking on their own (which in the end turned out quite well!!) just so we could eat at some point. We could hear the other class drinking wine and sitting down to eat, and our lasagna wasn't even in the oven yet. Another ominous sign. Our chef was very kind but it was clear he was not ready for this. It was my second and last visit to the KC, I walked away with no additional skills. Waste of 3.5 hours (though the class was scheduled for only 2.5) and 65 bucks.
