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.

I took a wine and food paring class. The facility is very nice with a curved seating counter. The…read moreplace is roomy. The class wasn't exactly a cooking class but the chef gave us recipes and further demonstration when questions came up. Every dish was delicious. The store part of the place has pot, pans, kitchen gadgets, and some gourmet food items. I'm giving it a 4 because their items are on the pricier side.

Beef tenderloin, toasted garlic bread, cucumber sandwiches, shrimp, dips, tomato bruschetta...I mean every single thing mouth watering! They are very creative with creating a divine menu based around your event type. Upon their departure the dining room looked as if they were never there because they cleaned up so well & even in the kitchen! They really go above & beyond to make your event memorable! Very professional! I know many of my guest asked for their business cards to use them in the future & I will be also!! Thank thank you Bistro 517!!

However, what I don't appreciate is my 4 year old literally holding himself and visibly having to use the rest room, dancing, and when asked if they had a restroom he could use, without stopping the woman said "nope" and continued walking away. I get we're still very much dealing with Covid, but you couldn't let my 4 year old use the restroom? Terrible service.

I placed a birthday cake order with Cake Snob LLC on January 22nd, and I spoke with a woman named…read moreNichol/Nicole. I provided photo references for the cake and was very descriptive of what I requested and was under the impression we were on the same page. After confirming the details she told me the cake would be $140 and sent me an invoice that I paid. The invoice included $15.40 of Missouri Sales Tax making the cakes total price come out to $155.40. On Sunday February 8th, I messaged Nichol about getting the cake delivered to me because on the website it says that they offer that. She told me it would be $25 and sent me an invoice that I paid, and the Missouri Sales Tax was $2.75 added onto this made the total come out to $27.75. All together, this is $183.15, almost $200 spent. The cake was to be delivered on February 10th which is when I needed it and what we had agreed on. She came at around 12:07pm with the cake to my doorstep and passed it off to me and I said thank you and that it was cute. I did not get to take a closer look at the cake as I was rushing because it was my partner's birthday and I had a lot to do already-- so yes I assumed the cake looked fine because I had already saw her reviews and photos online which is what promted me placing an order in the first place and didnt think I needed to do a hard look and inspect the entire cake as I was already rushing. After bringing the cake inside my house that was when I started to see the flaws that anyone who calls themselves a "baker" would have noticed as well. I reached out to her in a very professional and polite way and to sum up her response I was only able to get a 25% refund or a gift card, because she doesnt usually do refunds. I asked if the refund could be more because of how much I spent, and she followed up with sending me her policy and to sum up the rest, how no work will be exactly like photos online and that she wished I refused the delivery, which doesnt make sense because I already paid her in full for everything and she couldve easily taken it back and blocked me. I didnt want to argue so I said I would take the 25% refund and she left me on read for about 3 hours--very rude and unprofessional so I texted her with a "?" And she finally responded and to sum it up Im supposedly getting a 25% refund that can take up to three days back on the card I used. Later on that night we finally tried the cake which prompted me to even write a review. I asked for a vanilla cake with strawberry filling and nothing in that cake tasted like strawberry at all. On top of the cake being sloppily made, the flavor wasnt what was requested which I was hoping would at least taste good so I wouldnt need to take further action, and tasted like a Walmart box cake mix. There was nothing unique about this cake flavor at all. I am shocked and highly upset with how this entire situation went and about how she tried to blame me because I accepted the cake as if it would make sense to refuse it after I already paid her in full. I do not recommend this business at all. She does not see anything wrong with the way this cake looks. Anyone who is passionate enough about their craft and has deep care for their presentation would never give somebody an item like this.

She did the shopping, brought all of her own supplies and produced a multi-course meal with appetizers. I didn't really know how much to expect this to cost, but in the end it was a good price. When you buy alcohol at the grocery store instead of at a restaurant, you're savings is already huge! Pam herself was lovely and I was glad to have her in our home to help us host a wonderful dinner party. We had the goat cheese and artichoke stuffed chicken. It was GREAT. Thanks Pam.
