This is a review of the school and not their restaurant…read more If you are really serious about becoming a chef or a pastry chef, think twice and think again before coming here. This place is like the Wal-Mart of culinary schools. The school admits anyone who has a heartbeat, meaning they only want the money. The curriculum sucks and looks like they need to revamp the program. Also the equipment is old has hell and the kitchens are dirty. For the money you will be investing (@20K), you are better off going to the CIA in NYC or French Culinary School.

Walking in, there was a room for us with tables to eat and have some drinks and from there on, we were instructed what we were cooking, split up into teams and were brought into the actual kitchen. It took some serious work and each of the personal chefs there were so helpful! I have to give kudos to our chef as he was so patient with me when it came to trying to cook and use some of the things!! Cooking is not my forte. But we had an amazing time. There was a minor hiccup at the end but overall, great experience. I'd recommend to other companies as a unique way to bring people together!

My bf and I had a Friday night date night at Vino Venue. We took one of the cooking classes. It was…read moreso much fun and the food was amazing. The night we went it was a Mediterranean themed. Which was perfect for me since I love Mediterranean food. It is a group class so you will cook a family style dinner with others. The chef does demonstration of each station and then he let's everyone choose which station they want to be on. We chose the chicken kabobs. We prepared and cooked them. While we watched the demonstration we enjoyed a glass of wine. Our dinner at the end was paired with 3 glasses of wine. It is a little pricey, but definitely worth the experience. We are planning our another date night there in the near future.

Super dope wine venue that's much more than your typical bottle wine shop…read more So it's in a shopping strip mall area so there's free parking there. It's on toward the end of the shopping strip so it's not hard to find. You'll look at the building and there are some indoor and outdoor seats for you, and it's very neat and clean. Coming inside it's a lot bigger than what you would expect. They have a wall of wine, as they should, they have a back room where they do tastings, and not like four tables that are set up. They have like tastings and cooking lessons as well so there's tables and stoves and all sorts of things. They have a full kitchen with a kitchen menu that I hear. The fool was pretty good. I actually didn't try the food on the first time around because I just eaten and I just wanted to stop And to see what it was about because it's been on my list. When I went I sat at the bar and the bartender (Tay) took care of me. She was super cool and we had a good conversation. The bar has liquor there so it's not only wine. They have a very limited selection of liquor but there is liquor there. They have a cocktail menu, again. It's kind of limited, but they can pretty much make whatever you need. But the show the spotlight is going to be on the wine selections. Wish they had plenty of them. I was picking out a wine to try and she definitely helped and gave good advice and led me in a good direction. She was awesome. Now they have a wine club. This wine club is pretty good, so I may consider trying it. I'm already part of wine club elsewhere, but this one might be a little bit different. For the wine club you pay a price and you get about four bottles of wine, but you also get to do all of the tastings as well. You get the good a membership discount if you bring people in to dine-in as well. There's a lot that goes into it. There should be a picture of it in my review so check that out. Oddly enough, they also have trips that they go on for people who want to visit different wine venues. It's really surprising because that isn't a small thing to take group trips to some random part to sample wine. But if you're a wine drinker, and you have the the money to spend, this would be cool to be around like-minded people. They really have a lot to offer! I thought it was a really good random walk-in for me, I enjoyed it. The atmosphere was good, the selections were really good, the customer service was really good, it was great on all parts.

It's one of two cake supply stores (of decent quality) in the metro area and my favorite to go to. For one, the pricing isn't too bad. Most of my supplies I get online from various places but if I'm in a bind and need something quick or it will work out to about the same if I ordered online (and added in shipping), I will happily trek up to ISAC. They have a good selection of molds, boxes/boards/drums, color dusts, fondant and candy making supplies. During the holidays (and Easter), there is usually an Open House where Chef Nick, Scott and others will have various demos going on and you can sample some goodies. I've yet to take a class but can't wait to. Time to sharpen the some skills!

I booked the Hot Havana Nights cooking class for the evening of Saturday, 11/19/17 for my boyfriend…read moreand I as part of a birthday surprise. This class is part of the Fusion of Flavors series that features an internationally inspired menu focusing on a cuisine from a different country each class. There were three staff members present to help with the flow of the class -- one chef (Chef M.), and two assistants. Chef M. was phenomenal. She led the class with confidence as she gave demonstrations, useful tips, and instructions. If I could rate her separately, she would easily receive a 5-star rating from me. The class was full the night we attended. I believe there are somewhere between 16-20 seats per class. About 80% of our class was made up of a large party celebrating a birthday. To say they were a rowdy, slightly annoying bunch would be an understatement. This is when I learned lesson #1: YOU ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE OTHER ATTENDEES. After a slightly slower start, thanks to pausing for the large group to take selfies and group photos before we began, we went right into preparing the meal. The meal consisted of 3 courses -- salad, entree, and dessert. The group was slit into teams -- we paired up within the teams to tackle each menu item. The recipes were easy to execute -- nothing too daunting. Plus, Chef M. and the two assistants were on hand whenever you had a question. Chef M. walked around and checked our progress regularly. Ohh I should mention, wine was available before during and after class :-) When all was said and done, we sat down at the table to have our meal. This is when the wine pairing section of class began. We were given several wines to taste throughout the course of the meal. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the table with our main dishes, NO chicken was left. Apparently, one of my classmates took two pieces, leaving me with only side dishes and salad. This is when I learned lesson #2: GET YOUR FOOD EARLY. If someone gets a double helping in your class, be sure to make a fuss. You spend $80 for a nice dinner, not two sides and some wine. Overall, I enjoyed the way the class was structured, the kitchen/venue, and the staff. My only regret is that I went the same night as the large group that basically took over our class.

It is not fancy; nothing like your local Williams-Sonoma, Sur la Table, or Crate & Barrel. But you may find things that you can't at those places. I think my first time coming here was 4-5 years ago. I am an amateur home baker and cook and after reading through blogs and scouring different websites dedicated to food, I get ideas to make new dishes. Some of these require certain receptacles or tools that I don't readily have in my kitchen cabinets (which are brimming with stuff, because I have insufficient storage due to apartment living... wah, wah, wah). Restaurant Equipment Market (REM) has saved the day for me, especially on occasions when I could not stand to wait two days for Amazon Prime to deliver reasonably-priced kitchen goodies to my home. I have gotten cake pans, a meat tenderizer mallet, candy thermometer, an awesomely wide stainless prep bowl, and sweet bread knife from this place. Today I spotted pots and pans and cutting boards that will most likely end up in my kitchen at some point. Some of the things here are not very attractive, so if your aim is to buy kitchenware that combines form and function and you have the budget for it, by all means, go to the fancy places and acquire all that you need. This girl who is always looking for holes-in-the-wall will not shy away from getting more things to help me further my kitchen sorcery.
