The chicken tastes exactly the same, incredibly juicy and lightly seasoned; the pilaf is similarly flavorful. The pita was soft and chewy. The only letdown here is the salad: a handful of chopped lettuce with a chunk of tomato and a few pieces of bell pepper, smothered in feta and what tastes like regular ol' ranch dressing. There was no one in line when I arrived at 1. Give 'em a shot if you're looking for a fallback.

Next time I will try the chicken kebab plate and drink special, which is also only $5. I'm also encouraged to check out the actual restaurant too, which is just down the street. The only thing keeping this place from a 5th star is the lack of seating.

We got there early to pick up tickets, and the box office told us the bistro opens around 6pm, about one hour before the show--perfect. The menu is limited, but there's something for everyone as they offer sandwiches, salads, and wraps. I will say it's a little on the pricer side--it was almost $40 for two burgers and two cokes. They were good but nothing fancy for the price. The outdoor patio area is cute and it's right on property so you can take your time eating before the show. I think it's worth it getting here early and eating here, to save yourself the headache of traffic in the parking lot before and after the show.

We've been enjoying Mei Mei dumplings ever since we discovered them at Farm Fresh farmers market in…read moreProvidence, so when we heard they offered classes we had to try one. We went to a soup dumpling class today and had SO MUCH fun learning how soup dumplings are made and learning how to make simple Mei Mei folds and more complicated pleat folds. And then we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor with some lovely mocktails. Delicious! I highly recommend this class. Agnes was a great teacher and both patient and fun. If you can't make it a class, look for their dumplings at your local farmers market or go to their store. I like the classic pork and ginger best, but they also make some more unusual flavors and both veggie and vegan options

Tickets were a little over $30 and you get to eat a variety of dumplings to your heart's content. There was a delicious pickled cabbage side, salad, crunchy onion, and sauces. Drinks available for purchase. They even let us take some of the leftover dumplings at the end of the event. It's a small space so it was a little snug but honestly the vibes among the people there were great. This was an awesome way to eat great food and catch up with friends while supporting a small business. Highly recommend their bottomless dumpling event as well as their frozen dumplings.

I didn't really…read moreknow what to expect, and when they asked me what I wanted to learn I told them I wanted to learn "some of the basics". Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.

When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.
