Great venue offering cooking classes as well as pre-made and kit food options from local small,…read more independent vendors. The class we attended was a ravioli making class where we did the full recipe from start to finish. There were two lead chefs and an assistant helping to pass out small apps, distribute tools, and clean up. There is a bar area that if self serve and at the end you're asked to pay for what you consumed. It would be nice if prices were posted, but drinks are about what you'd pay at any local bar. Overall, subtracting the food included and what it would cost at a restaurant, the class was about $35-$40 for a three hour experience. Afterwards they emailed out the recipes for what was made. I'd definitely try another class there as it was a fun time and great for couples or larger groups.

Tonight we thoroughly enjoyed the Tribute Show & A Neil Diamond Story, featuring Denny Svehla at…read moreChef Pam's Kitchen. For about $80, before tips, we were entertained by Denny S as he sang so many Neil Diamond songs. And if you were not looking, you could hear Neil singing in his wonderful voice. The music was presented between the incredible 4 courses, and allowed for conversations over the delicious dishes that were freshly prepared for us. Start with a nice variety of beverages (for purchase) with a bruschetta appetizer. Follow this by a light salad with fresh bread, and then to the entree of chicken breast with Prosciutto in a lemon sauce with mashed potatoes and sauteed carrots. Finish the meal with a light lemon cake with whipped cream, and not only was my appetite satisfied, but so was my appreciation for perfection in presentation. Chef Pam's Kitchen is a multi-use spot in downtown, serving special event dinners, cooking sessions, and offering locally prepared treats of all kinds. Local pastry chefs have access to the well-appointed bakery area. With all the food prep areas open to view, it is highly impressive to see the cleanliness and exceptional equipment in use. Our evening of entertainment and dining was wonderful. There are many more events planned here, and I recommend watching their offerings, especially if you like to have fun and great food!

I gave this cookie making/decorating class to Ben, my eight year old grandson, as a birthday gift…read more Ben started out shy, but in no time, Chef Morgan had him fully engaged and gave him the confidence he needed to work through every step of the recipes. She was there when she needed to be, stepped back when she felt he "got it" and cheered him along throughout the morning. Ben couldn't wait to tell his twin brother and parents about his morning's activities and show off his cookies when he got back home! I highly recommend this class and I thank Chef Morgan for making the day a special one for Ben!

So unsanitary! The cooking class is not worth the expensive price. I did the summer grilling class,…read moreand I was appalled by the amount of unsanitary actions that the teacher took. They did make us wash our hands in the beginning, but they did a cleanup break halfway through and told us to go explore the shopping area. We were not asked to wash your hands when we returned and were made to cut up potatoes with our bare hands. This would've been fine because I was working with a group that I knew, but then they made us all combine our food and do a buffet style. I wasn't able to eat any of the food we've prepared and we had to sit there and watch this man use a dirty dish rag to open ovens and wipe down the surface and then also use the same rag to hold down on top of the steak to cut. He also didn't really explain what he was doing very well and didn't really teach anything. We were lost the whole time because he would half explain to just one table and not even come by to show us. I wouldn't have eaten the food because of how unsanitary it was to see being made by a bunch of strangers with unwashed hands and then mixed together but we were sitting there for two hours and so hungry the entire time. They also made us these coconut, pineapple drinks that I didn't even touch because the person that handed us our cups placed her finger inside of the cups when she was carrying it, dropped it at our table and didn't even say what it was. It wasn't a cooking class. It was mostly just standing around and watching.

Overall, I had a pleasant experience at The Classic Room. As a forewarning, you must make a…read morereservation. Not because it gets busy, but because that is how this restaurant operates. Given that this is essentially a learning lab for the culinary students at WCTC, you need to schedule a time beforehand that aligns with the students' schedules. As far as I know, The Classic Room is only open on weekdays. The dining area itself was beautiful. Lots of tables, a piano, and lovely views. Our table was set up near a picture window, so we had a beautiful backdrop while we ate our lunch. In terms of food and drink, there were some aspects that were great and some that were far below average. The blackberry iced tea was watery and didn't have much flavor. The Arnold Palmer was exactly what you'd expect - the perfect mix of tea and lemonade. A warm basket of bread was delivered with a couple sausage rolls tucked inside. It was a nice touch. I ordered the New England clam chowder to start (not pictured). It was flavorful and piping hot. The other members in my party ordered the minestrone and cream of mushroom soup and they enjoyed them as well. The entrées were not as delicious. One member of my party ordered the ribs. According to her, the ribs themselves were fantastic and tender but the potato and asparagus were ice cold. I ordered the poussin and it was not good. Parts of it were incredibly undercooked (which is NOT okay when it comes to poultry). The rice was well seasoned but lukewarm. Another member of my party ordered the bison meatballs and she thought every part of her entrée was average, but warm and edible nonetheless. The REAL star of the show was the dessert. All of us ordered the chocolate decadence and it was incredibly rich. The sauce and berries cut through the density perfectly and the dish was so well balanced. The presentation was nice, even though it kind of looked like a meatball. If you've been curious about trying out The Classic Room at WCTC, I'd give it a shot. But do keep in mind that these students are still learning, so don't expect Michelin Star quality.
