    Just delicious! Happened to be in the area, and we decided to grab lunch/ early dinner here at the…read morePalete, I have met Chef Vernetta a few times and she is the sweetest, I was very happy to see her and a few ladies inside ready to cook you up a meal. The menu is smaller which I like, my thinking, make a few things great instead of a bunch average....we ordered: *Chicken Alfredo- this was my favorite! the chicken is marinated on skewers and was so good! It was moist and flavorful, the pasta has a great sauce on it, served with sautéed rainbow carrots and green beans, loved this dish! *Crabcakes- 2 large crab cakes with the same veggies and roasted corn salad, yum, I always feel like crab cakes are a special meal! *Chicken over rice- this was that same marinated chicken skewers, served over yellow rice, with veggies, very good! I enjoyed each dish, and liked the concept of you pop in a pick up a gourmet meal to take home, I like to meal prep my lunches for the week and this place would be wonderful for that also!

    Chef Vernetta is absolutely amazing!!! She catered my graduation party.

Communication and billing was a smooth process and she and her team were very professional. If you haven't had the pleasure of trying Chef Vernetta's food you can order from her restaurant or sign up for a cooking class. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Experienced going to the morning market to pick out fresh ingredients for hour meal. This class was more of a demonstration class than actual cooking and you are served by a professional chef what could be better. Also he is a comedian that perhaps should be playing a part at a comedy club. In closing I hope I can get back there someday, absolutely wonderful experience.

    Trying to find a cooking class in the area was challenging. I was looking for a hands on class but…read morefor the weekend that I wanted, nothing was available. I settled on a demonstration class with Chef Thompson. The menu for that Saturday night was "Low Country Cuisine", which included a roasted butternut squash salad with goat cheese, smoked bacon, and pickled red onions; Mayport shrimp and Carolina clam perlou; and a winter citrus "french toast" with pear coulis and limoncello whipped cream. Given that my friend is allergic to seafood, I asked about a beef or chicken option substitute and the chef was very accommodating! He added skirt steak to the menu. When we arrived around 5:30 pm for the Saturday class, a group of three was already there. The chef offered wine and water as we settled into the counter-height directors chairs to watch him prepare a delicious meal. Chef Bill is a natural teacher. He seamlessly cooked, talked about the food and the inspiration behind some of the dishes, and interacted with us. The smells, the tastes, and the whiffs of food were incredible! He definitely knows what he's doing! About 2 hours later, we were ready to eat. Chef Thompson set up a buffet for us and we were encouraged to fill our plates and to get seconds. There was more than enough food. This was definitely a five star experience but my OCD with germs drops it down to four stars. I'd have just liked to see a little more hand washing as he was touching his face and other items around the kitchen as he was cooking. But, that was a minor issue and one that I'm sure only I noticed. If you're looking for a little something different for a dinner date or for an activity with friends, check out this culinary institute. You'll be in for a delicious meal that night and with the recipes and tips that you'll get, you can recreate the meal at home too.

    I have placed several orders from Donna and it was always a hassle getting the products I paid for…read more She would outright lie about having mailed the order and then weeks later would say "Oh I'm sending it today." There was always an excuse! My last (and I mean last ever) order was not filled and she refuses to refund the money.

It's also a place to find some really unique gifts for loved ones. Donna, the owner and herbalist, is very approachable and runs a school where people in the community can come and learn various skills from soap making to attaining an herbalist's certificate right at this location. I'm so impressed with the array of ingredients that she carries [some that are very difficult to find] and the quality of the finished products that are available to purchase. The prices are very reasonable for everything. I love the fact that you can go and smell, touch, see and feel the plethora of wonderful products and bulk herbs available here! Much better, in my opinion, than blindly buying it online somewhere else. It smells amazing in here and now I know where to get my ingredients for my tea addiction at extremely reasonable prices. I just can't say enough about how amazing this resource is for locals and the entire community! Everyone is very welcoming, knowledgeable and generous with their time. If you are in the area, this is a hidden gem that you cannot miss!

    Sur La Table is a whole experience!…read more Sur La Table was such a vibe! This class ended up being one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Jacksonville. My friend and I had the time of our lives, and it honestly felt like the perfect mix of learning, laughing, and connecting. One thing I loved most was how inclusive the whole experience is. Everyone gets a role, everyone gets involved, and you naturally end up chatting with new people. We met the sweetest couple and clicked instantly--it felt like we'd known them forever. Such a great way to build community while doing something fun. Quick note for anyone with dietary restrictions: I don't eat meat, and this particular class featured steak. They let me know that if I had called ahead, they would've happily made accommodations. So if you have allergies or restrictions, give them a heads‑up! They're extremely accommodating, which I really appreciated. We booked the Chef's Table date night class, and the menu was incredible. We made homemade gnocchi, a fresh salad, and a strawberry‑thyme sorbet that was a 10/10. The whole meal was simple, approachable, and taught in a way that made even "fancy" dishes feel doable at home. I left feeling inspired and ready to recreate everything in my own kitchen. Huge shoutout to our chef--he was from South Florida, and although I can't remember his name, he deserves all the praise. He explained everything clearly, shared a bit about himself, made everyone feel comfortable, and kept the energy fun and collaborative. His team and the store staff were just as amazing--kind, helpful, and genuinely excited to be there. From the safety walkthrough to the hands‑on techniques, everything was thoughtful and well‑organized. I'm already looking forward to coming back and doing it all over again. Thank you, Sur La Table, for such an unforgettable experience!

Luis was very knowledgeable, hands on, and engaging. It also felt very tailored to our experience level, as sometimes he would give more directions and less at other times. And, most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Our roasted chicken was so so juicy and tender, the mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy, the salad dressing was divine, and the chocolate soufflé was light and rich at the same time. Oh, and Luis made us some garlic confit that was the perfect addition! We had so many leftovers to take home too. I cannot wait to take another class at Sur La Table!

He is an excellent chef, with all the credentials, including expertise in nutrition. Chef Walter has an extensive collection of tried and true recipes and has self-published several cookbooks. He is creative and knowledgeable when it comes to food prep, pleasant to be around, eager to please and focused on the job at hand. We like him a lot. His meals have great eye appeal, contain healthy ingredients and have been delicious. Best of all, Chef Walter suggests a meal plan, does the shopping, prepares three meals that are easy for me to reheat and get on the table with minimal fuss, and leaves my kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Chef Walter Busconi. Kathleen Cort

    For Valentine's Day this year, I decided to mix things up a bit and hire a private chef to cook…read moredinner for me and my wife. After some back-and-forth with several prospects, I decided to go with Chef Walter Busconi Lage or "Chef of the World" as he bills himself. He created a few different menus based on our preferred cuisines and we worked together to mix and match some of the elements of each to come to a three-course meal I knew we'd both enjoy. Arriving promptly at 4pm for a 6pm service, he was very friendly and accommodating. Chef Walter brought all of the necessary equipment to perform his craft, and right around 6pm we sat down to our first course of a goat cheese souffle. Impossibly light and rich at the same time, it was a fantastic starter. It came with some mixed greens on the side that were dressed with a flavorful vinaigrette. Our entree was surf and turf: bison ribeye with lobster, served with potatoes dauphinoise and asparagus in an orange zest hollandaise. The bison was cooked to perfection, with a delicious compound butter that helped with the natural leanness of bison. The potatoes were rich and yielding, and the asparagus was tender but still with a nice snap and the creamy hollandaise made it a joy to eat. The one miss on this course was the lobster, which was overly soft and didn't add much to the plate. For dessert we were served a cognac creme brulee with whipped topping. This was the best creme brulee I've ever eaten; the hint of cognac really set off the other flavors and it was not overly sweet. While not inexpensive, Chef Walter is a man who knows his craft. He was friendly, hospitable, punctual, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with him again in the future.
