EXPERT INSTRUCTION
Learn from experienced chefs who make complex techniques approachable and fun.
FRESH & EXCLUSIVE INGREDIENTS
Ingredients from our partners at NEK Foods- from seafood brought in from the fisherman to produce that the restaurants use.
BYOB!
Bring your favorite wine or beverage to enjoy while you cook and dine.
SOCIAL EXPERIENCE
Meet new people, share stories, and enjoy a memorable evening of cooking together.
We usually pair 2 people together for each cooking station. If you are coming solo and would like your own cooking station, or with a group and would like to be seated together please call or email us at the time of reservation to best accommodate you. Thank you!
