    Usually do a lot of people attend the class? I want to join but hesitate whether it will be dropped if class size is small considering CCSF dropping guidelines.

    Our classes are very full, often with a waiting list, and we have never dropped a culinary class at the Downtown Campus.

    My friend has attended several cooking classes & dinner events & invited me to attend the duck and…read moreEastern European wine dinner recently. The communal table seating is a fun way to meet new people, talk about shared passion for food & culture. The food was beautifully presented & delicious! Chef Gracie & her crew did a wonderful job. The dining tables had small appetizers waiting for us upon arrival to graze and enjoy until the formal service started. I overheard her say that she knew we'd be hungry so she prepared some wonderful breads & dips in advance. The strawberry soup was interesting, not too sweet but had savory toppings that added flavor & texture. The beet salad and duck were presented family style and the duck was perfection, tender & flavorful. Dessert (lemon gelato) was served individually & was a refreshing end to our meal. Each course was paired with a wine where the history of the wine was shared by the sommelier of the evening. Overall, a fun event with delicious food & we met some interesting people.

    I took a cooking class here and had a lot of fun!…read more Parking is not convenient. The closest parking garages are still a 10 minute walk away. Luckily, it's in the Mission, so there are other things to do to make the parking garage fees worth it. They measure and prep the ingredients for you. The specific class I took didn't require much action other than combining, stirring, and a tiny amount of chopping. You're in groups, so you can skip doing anything you don't want to do. The assistants are friendly and super talkative. Eating at the big table with everyone else was fun. They had beer, wine, and a nonalcoholic cocktail as well. I came with someone, but I think going solo wouldn't be too awkward. It's almost $200 for 3 hours and it's pretty inconvenient since I don't live in the area, but I'd recommend it for a fun evening!

    Came here for a team offsite for 20+ people. It was great to prep a multi course meal. Similar…read morefeedback to previous reviewers, the chefs didn't seem super friendly and happy to host us. With all the food cooking, the kitchen area got a bit smokey. I wish there was better ventilation. Overall solid 4 stars. We had crispy rice patties, veggie risotto, steak, and mini cupcakes. I would recommend for a team event. This was much better than the ramen making event with a different vendor we did as a team event last time.

    To be honest, I expected a little better out of the full event…read more The Good: The recipes were easy and the food was good. There was enough space to go around and not be cramped (16 people on our team). They allow us to bring our own wine bottles. The Bad: The main chef was not very friendly. She was snappy, and sometimes upset when you ask her questions. She almost seemed like she did not want to talk to people or almost talking down to them. The other staff members were really nice. Out of 6+ ovens they had. Only 2 were working and NOT working properly. This is a cooking event space, and if there are no functional ovens, I think it defeats the purpose. In addition, most the knives were dull and barely cut well. You get to cook one of the 4 or 5 dishes. I would highly recommend you rotate the stations, and everyone learns a little more hands on. Way too much teaching compared to doing. Some might enjoy the simplicity, but for a high ticket price, I would expect more. I would say if they fixed the oven problem, and became a little more hospitable, then it would be an easy 5 star place.

    I don't know where.. but I read somewhere that someone had a decent meal here at a very reasonable…read moreprice. So I thought why not give it a go. At $15 for 5 courses I was like...you can't even buy all the ingredients. (Avocados cost $1.50-2 each so $15 seemed like nothing) Space: Nothing fancy. Clean. It did feel a bit awkward having so few tables in such a large space. I almost felt like I was in some school cafeteria. Service: Except for having difficulty getting hold of them via phone, the service in the evening was excellent. The instructor came out and gave us suggestions and answered questions and it was all very nice. Food: Some people in my party thought food tasted gross. Particularly the chicken dish..which one person thought looked and tasted like dog food ((harsh!)) However for $15, most dishes were decent. Pizza we had for appetizer and the fried mozarrella stick salad was pretty good. Shrimp risotto...I initially thought that it was mashed potatoes because I couldn't taste or see rice grains that you should see with risottos. Flavouring was a bit bland too. Tuna tartar - it was wayyyyyy too spicy and salty. There was a lot of soy sauce at the bottom. For the entrees, initially we all picked a dish each. Then the instructor came out and said that for a "large group like ours" that he would recommend a sampling of ALL the dishes. We literally got 3 dishes of each main dish (there were 5) for the whole table. After that he said that if we wanted to try more of anything that we could. I felt like we were at a AYCE buffet haha. - Shaking beef with crispy rice - not bad. Beef seasoning was a little too salty but totally edible - Steak - probably the best entree out of the lot? - Pork with polenta - it was okay. - Chicken - definitely not their best... - Fish - was okay. Dessert was probably the best dish. It was some kind of an apple filled spring rolls with cream and honey? It was crispy, not too sweet and delicious. The total came to around $20 per person for the meal which, considering the amount of food we got, was amazing. Ohhhh and they are very generous with their wine pours too. Half glasses are $3-4 each (and I'd say it's equivalent to a single glass at a normal restaurant). Their full glass was literally to the brim. I was nicely buzzed with a glass of wine here. Would I return?.. That's a tough one. While I thought the value was great, the food wasn't amazing. If I feel like cheap dinner but don't feel like fast food, then yes I would probably come back.

    5 course meal for $15 (3 stars)…read more YOU ARE THE GUINEA PIG!!! AND... quality ingredients used (occassionally put to waste); depends whos doing the execution. - Food, hit or miss - Price, can't go wrong with 5 courses for $15 - Service, friendly but professional.... uhm ... (yup dot dot dot) - Ambiance, very clean space Decided to finally come and try Le Cordon Bleu Restaurant at the CCA. My expections, uncertain. Are you suppose to have high or low expections for students cooking food and you are the guinea pig? I can't complain, $15 for a meal that fills you!!!! Must make reservations and they only take x-amount of people a night. We were seated, greeted, and served. Level of professionalism is, well, don't expect it. I felt like I was talking to friends instead of staff. Good thing but kind of bad thing; this is a "restaurant". My friend mentioned that the service kind of sucks and the food was hit or miss. yup, it was a hit and miss for me. And service, i didnt care much because it's a student ran restaurant but we had to ask when to bring the next plate out for us, constantly asking for more water, and when asked to pack the left overs, to them it means "throw in garbage". And NO TIPPING; 15% is included to go towards some scholar fund. thanks for the experience! HEFFER-STYLE STATUS. (**SEE PICTURES***) Meal #1) MUSHROOM AND CHEESE PIZZA - i think they forgot to mention the other ingrediants... bacon and asparagus. This was okay. I only had one piece and removed the bacon (sorry, can't eat pork or redmeat at this time). Meal #2) "first plates" LEVAIN FERTINE w/ ASPARAGUS, SHRIMP AND LOBSTER BISQUE - when we took our first bit the first words that came out of our mouth was "interesting". All we got from the waitress was that it was a 16yr old starter; kinda dont know what that means. So the "interesting" taste came from the 16 yr old starter? I wasn't that much of a fan of this plate. Meal #3) another "first plates" MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH PANCOTTA, MAYTAG BLUE, AND CANDID PECANS - and again, they failed to mention there are two crunchy slabs of bacon ontop. What if there were vegans in the joint, they'd be shocked. Wasn't a fan but did munch on it. Best part was the candid pecans Meal #4) "main plate choice" Had an option between Grilled Beef short ribs, roasted chipotle chicken, or fried fish & chips. My homegirl got the Grilled short ribs and liked it; no picture of it. Portion was just too damn small. ROASTED CHIPOTLE CHICKEN - it came out looking pretty. two piece of chicken stacked nicely, garnished with some cilantro leaves, laying ontop of a bed of chipotle sauce. The taste was was okay/good for what it is. UNTIL i turned my chicken over and saw (see loaded pictures) and said, that doesnt look very appetizing. The chipotle sauce was good and had these little black balls split in half that tasted like pototoes. Also on the side was this chicpea"hash" that was like on a pie crushed masa; liked it but wish pie crused like masa texture wasn't so hard (it felt like of stale). My portion was pretty decent! Then i looked over and saw at a different table and wish ordered the fish & chips. ***PALATE REFRESHER** (suppose to be served before the main dish but we got ours after) served in a small cup was a purple-pink sorbet. with something else chopped on top and watercress sprouts. I am not a fan of the watercress sprouts but everything else was good. Meal #5) "chef's choice dessert" CAKE DUET - I was a fan of this, however my friend was not. Reminded me of pudding cake. The portion of this was huge, we barely put a dent in it. Will I be back? The group of students tonight is their last class. I won't be back for a few weeks/months until the new wave of students have had some experience in the kitchen first. LOL. But it's a hit or miss; maybe next experience will be a hit. Until the next review....

    I wouldn't call it a cooking school, for the class we attended was more of an interactive culinary…read moreexperience. The class isn't designed to ensure that everyone get equal instruction/ demo or time interacting with each dish. Many components were already prepped, so I did a lot of asking to get caught up to speed as to what the ingredients were and how they were prepared. Tim, the head chef was fantastic - friendly, accommodating, and an overall great host. Snacks and beverages were available upon arrival, which was nice because we waited at least 20 minutes after the start time to actually get started. Tim then gave a brief introduction and some cooking tips. We then dispersed to different stations. For the next hour or so, we bounced from station to station to learn about different dishes and participate in making them. Sometimes there was chef instruction, sometimes not. I wish there was a chef at each station to get our money's worth. I noticed a lot of people wandering aimlessly and looking a little lost. I was sad to miss out on learning a couple dishes. Overall, for the price, I wish it was more organized/efficient. If you're looking for a casual cooking experience, then this is a lovely place to go if it doesn't break the bank. For me, it was too expensive for me to confidently recommend to others.

    FANTASTIC cooking experience at Cavallo Point Cooking School!…read more The theme of our cooking session was "New Orleans Crawl." The menu consisted of: Jalapeno Biscuits Eggs Sardou Crab Cheesecake Shrimp & Grits Chicken Gumbo Beignets Max is 18 students in a session; a cozy fit around the dining table. Tim was our main chef and a wonderful host as were his two assistants. This class is interactive as much as you want it to be. If you're intimidated to participate or not comfortable being around the kitchen, that's ok. Feel free to listen and watch but these classes aren't cheap. It wouldn't hurt to get your hands dirty. Realistically, you won't be able to participate in preparing every dish; choose the dishes you're most interested in. When all is done, the students sit around the dining table to share the meal. There was plenty to go around more than once. My favorite was the Shrimp & Grits, Jalapeno Biscuits, and Beignets. YUM! The room is HUGE, clean, and beautiful. They offered a delicious charcuterie board but the drinks were extra to my surprise. I highly recommend arriving half hour early to find parking. Valet parking is available. The location is GORGEOUS. After class, you can sit outside on their porch and enjoy the sun, have a picnic on the grass, or walk around the area and take pictures of the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate. It is stunning when the sun is out! A wonderful experience!
