Very overpriced for what you get. For $95 per person we got to cut vegetables and do zero actual cooking. There were 22 people in the class and only one cook, so it was disorganized and crowded. They sent us to the prep tables and didn't tell anyone what to do. Disappointed by the experience.

Cooking class felt unstructured/unsupervised. 20 amateur cooks of varying skill independently following a recipe with not much instruction. It is a fun afternoon but quite expensive and the food was mediocre.

Went there for a cooking class with a large group. Cooking class was fun and instructor had a great attitude and was very lively and humorous and made for a fun experience. Offered tips on cooking, menu options, and even to email you the menu that you cooked that night. Waiters service was decent at best. Frustrating thing is you pay a hefty service percentage of the bill that is mandatory cause you have a large group but then the service is poor and you can't do anything about it. This is really frustrating as they should either allow you to tip based on the service or if they require you to pay a mandatory tip based on the percentage of the bill then service should always be top notch. Many of us had to get up and go serve ourselves drinks as the waiter and waitress were nowhere to be found.
Booking the reservation was extremely frustrating as they never get back to you. Trying to email or call to ask questions, or concerns for dietary restrictions, alcohol etc and you never heard back from them. Email many times, call a few times and no response then weeks later they get back to you like nothing happened and no apology.
Overall I would maybe go back to their shop upstairs as they seem to have alot of interesting cooking books, foods, utensils etc. Maybe go back for a cooking class with 2 or 4 people but would not go back with a large group as the cost doesn't justify the frustrations in booking and poor service from waiting staff despite the excellent service from cooking instructors.

Such a beautiful shop, great selection and they offer cooking classes I've been itching to participate in for ages but my distance from the shop now make it hard. I also love that it back onto the Metrovino shop so you've got the best of food and wine right in one place. You can't go wrong!

Great location for a team outing. I've done two different cooking classes here, and they've been a hit both times. The price can be quite steep, but is in line with what you would pay per head for group cooking classes at sait.
The staff are very helpful, but let the students do all the work, which makes for a pretty fast paced and fun atmosphere. Great for team building.
I can't comment on the store itself, as I've never bought anything there.
