I used to love this place. We had a group that met every Saturday for many years. We brought in…read morebusiness and were respectful. We shopped there and enjoyed our time together. Then a new owner came in. She told us that everything would be great. We were excited. Once there, felt sort of unwelcome but kept going anyway. We all sat at this little copper table with chairs and they brought us food and coffee. It was the norm and we were happy to have a circle table where we could all chat. We had a new lady join that week and she was told by the new owner that she doesn't want us at that table and to pass it on. It was to be for wine drinkers only. Well, why serve us there the whole time only to tell one person, not even the organizer about it. Owner sent a man over to us and we talked to him about it and we all brought up ideas and talked back and forth and thought it was ok at the end. The following week, a new gal came and didn't feel well. She asked the owner to tell the group she had come and that she wasn't feeling well. The owner asked who the group was and she started badmouthing us to the new girl! Another woman showed up and the new gal told her what happened and they both left. The group now meets elsewhere, but it is a shame that you treated a local group after the owner moves here from Spokane and wants to fit in, like garbage after meeting there for YEARS! Not only that, this establishment now closes early and doesn't stay open for farmers markets or anything local going on. It really is a sad deal that someone can come in and ruin a business that someone else worked so hard to build.

I put him in the Kroc class and he hated it made me promise never to make him do it again. So i put him in the junior chefs class. He loved it, they make real food with good nutrition.

Prices are a little steep at $25 for an hour and a half but well worth my sons happiness. They also have camps and workshops. What a wonderful idea.

TLDR: hire Scott, no one else could possibly be better…read more We hired Scott to cater our wedding. He was easy to work with from start to finish. He loves to cook, and it shows in the quality of his food. When we did a tasting with him, he gave us some ideas, coached us on what food would be best for our venue, and accommodated our special requests. When we left, the Mrs. and I both mentioned we were glad he would be at our wedding, even it was as a guest. Great guy. On the day of the wedding, Scott handled the food perfectly, we didn't stress about a single thing. Everyone loved the menu, the appetizers were delicious, and the signature mashed potatoes are divine. Scott is the best, prices are reasonable, certainly under-priced for the level of quality and service he provides. Very very happy with our caterer!

Another master class by Jamie Aquino! I've been eyeing her Farm to Table class for a couple years…read moreand finally had the chance to attend with my dad. This class is great because you also get a trip to the Kendall Yards Farmers Market where Jamie breaks down what's in season and an ideas for how to use various ingredients. You shop along with her as she picks out the main ingredients for the class and have time to shop yourself before getting started with the actual class back at the Kitchen Engine. Her classes and dishes are vegetarian and plant-based so you leave with nutritious and delicious recipes. My only disclaimer is that this class (and really any class) will be challenging for those with mobility issues. The walking involved at the market with this class and the bar stool seating for the 3-hr class was difficult for my father, who has mobility issues. That said, he has a blast. Just a callout so you know what to expect.

Lo and behold, there was one of the best kitchen gadget ships I've ever experienced combined with a cafe combined with a cooking school. This place is seriously the best of three worlds. I was able to buy some loose leaf tea for my daughter, the cortado was DELICIOUS, and they had some very specialized kitchen tools o haven't seen anywhere else (pizza scissors that double as servers!) if you're a foodie, a chef, or just someone who likes good espresso, this is the place to stop in. Plus, my honey forgot his water bottle when we ordered coffee and the baristas were so kind to have set it aside for us when we later returned. LOVE this place.

My son and I were really excited to attend a class in February (Chicken Dinner class) unfortunately…read moreit was cancelled and we were asked if we wanted to transfer our tickets to the Breakfast for dinner class. After some emails with Amanda we agreed to attend that class. Two days prior to the class starting I inquired to see if we were confirmed but no response until the day prior saying that they were going to reschedule again. I sent a few emails asking if we were enrolled in the upcoming class with no response other than telling me they will send me an upcoming schedule that i never received. I took it upon myself to email the address on the website asking if I could talk with someone who could answer my questions. The reply I got was: pasted below We're sorry you seem to have had a bad experience and how we communication with our customers. Our chef has been in and out of the hospital . We are giving you a refund for your original order. While I understand the hospital bit I think it unprofessional to blame them and not take responsibility as an organization for constant reschedules and serious lack of communication with their "students" I wish NO stars were possible, and seeing the serious lack of stars in their reviews I see I am not the only one. Do better. Reach out.

Too bad zero stars isn't an option…read more So, my story is that I purchased a pair of tickets for an event. Roughly 3-4 weeks prior to the event I reached out via email to see if I could make different arrangements because something came up and we wouldn't be able to make it. I never heard back. I tried a second time. Same thing. So, I wasted $50+ and got zero in return. That was awesome.

4.12.26: Sushi is my jam and was craving some fresh sashimi. I did a little research, and found…read moreShiki, and the rest is history. We were a party of 3 and arrived around dinner time. We were greeted and sat immediately with menus. We got hot tea while we looked over the menu. I noticed right away they had lots of options and many rolls to choose from--even the pickiest of eaters are sure to find something! For appetizers, we ordered edamame and Rock Shrimp. Edamame was perfectly salted and warm. The tempura fry on the Rock Shrimp was spot on. The yum yum sauce was decent but lacked flavor and season imo..may have been too much mayo in this batch but all good, because the shrimp was amazing all by itself. The tempura was nice and airy and the shrimp was still juicy and tender. For entrees, my roommate ordered the Chicken Katsu and his mom and I feasted on the Sushi & Sashimi for 2, which comes with 10 pieces of sushi, 15 pieces of sashimi, chef's special choice roll, and subbed our Tempura shrimp roll for a Rock n Roll. Man oh man! When the sushi arrived, it was presented beautifully and truly looked like art. Not to mention, it was SO DELICIOUS! Every piece and every bite was amazingly fresh. Hats off to the sushi chefs for doing a fabulous job. The ratio of fish to rice was on point! My roommate said the Chicken Katsu had a good cook to it and that he really liked the sauce it came with. Unfortunately I did not get our servers name and not so sure she had a name tag on. However, she was patient with us in regards to when we ordered and attentive throughout the meal. We came at a good time as the restaurant filled up by the time we left. I will definitely be back for more sashimi!

We ordered this in via DoorDash, so I cannot speak to the restaurant details. Each of the rolls…read morewere excellent though! Our favorite was the Coeur d'Alene Roll, but the other two were also very tasty and unique. The Cowboy Roll has filet mignon on it, which was a new spin on sushi for us. The Blue Mountain Roll was actually shaped like triangles and had very good flavor and texture to it with just the right amount of roe mixed in. It's tough finding good sushi this far inland from the ocean, but Shiki sure raised the bar for this area. It will be our new go to for sushi here.
