AWESOME EXPERIENCE! My wife and I attended the class that Chef Patty gave at the Miami Culinary…read moreInstitute in the downtown campus of Miami Dade College on Friday, March 5, 2022. We had a great time preparing the different dishes that she had planned out for that night. We prepared beef and chorizo empanadas, mahi ceviche and a plantain stuffed with goat cheese. All the dishes were delicious! Chef Patty is very personable, you feel like you are being taught how to cook by a friend. The class was called Culinarium: A Taste of Latin Fusion. She teaches various other classes covering a wide range of dishes. I strongly encourage anyone who likes to cook or wants to experience something different to take one of these classes. Throughout the class Chef Patty dishes out little tidbits of cooking tips. My wife and I also really enjoyed sitting down and talking with Chef Patty and her assistant Chef Jimmy and the rest of the attendees (there were only 2 others in our class, which was pretty cool) while we ate what we had cooked. Me and my wife will definitely be attending another one of Chef Patty's events as soon as we can. I'll reiterate, it was an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!

There's no seating and no public restrooms--just a straightforward counter for takeout or picking up pre-orders. On weekends, the line definitely snakes around the building if you don't arrive early, but they keep spirits high with a flavored water dispenser and the occasional sample to tease your tastebuds. From baked goods to breads to even some savory treats, you want to check this gem out! The baked goods are a total evolution of the craft. Their filled croissants are legendary, with the Dulce de Leche and Pistachio being absolute fan favorites that live up to the hype. If you're looking for their mini croissants, just keep in mind those are made to order. However, the true star of the show is the Pavlova. It is a next-level masterpiece, but it requires a few days' notice, so make sure to plan your visit accordingly. It's a hidden Miami treasure that proves you don't need a fancy dining room when the food is this good.

She brought ponchos so we could continue on as it rained. It was beautiful to learn about and see this neighborhood through the eyes of someone who grew up here. Toni knows so much history and seemed to know so many of the people, too! The tour has so much food - I was honestly more than full at the end and I didn't even finish all of my portions. I think it was a really good range of drinks, desserts, and food. Even though that coffee cup looks small, that's a full serving size and it was strong! I really really appreciate that this tour not only accommodated for vegetarians but also chose options for me that were realllllly good. Instead of the cubano, I had these fried plantain cups stuffed with veggies. They were SO good and seasoned well! And the spinach and cheese empanada was also amazing. My friend who got the meat options also loved her food. This tour is the perfect way to learn more about Cuban history, the history of the neighborhood, see all the street art, watch a game at domino park, and experience some of the best food in Miami. I cannot recommend this enough!!!

I totally agree with the review prior to this; I think this guy is a fraud. At the very least, he…read moreis a bully and incredibly unpleasant to work with. I know this first hand. It was my fathers 80th birthday. My large family rented a home for a long weekend in February. I hired Stu to cook one "special" celebratory meal, and to stock the kitchen. He stocked the kitchen! That gets 4 stars on its own, but what happened after gets a negative 6 stars. This guy was terrible. First, he showed up two hours early to our initial in person meeting the day before the big dinner. Being vacation, I lost track of time. I remarked that I didn't realize time had flown by, and I couldn't believe it was noon already. His response "it's 10am. I work on my time, not yours". This should have let me known all I needed to know about this guy. The following day, he showed up several hours early. He arrived before 7am, when he was supposed to come at 10:30. He let himself in, and went to work in the kitchen. Having 16 people in one house can get messy. Luckily I planned and had two full time housekeepers. We, the guests, didn't leave dirty dishes on the table after dinner. We discarded the food, and rinsed the plates. We did leave the washing to the housekeepers to tend to in the AM. Unfortunately for our early (very early, and unannounced chef) there were plates in "his kitchen". He referred to it as his kitchen. It was only his second time there. And he wasn't a guest. He was a well compensated employee for the weekend. Here's when it gets great. That same morning I get a knock on the door. My bedroom door. The door I was asleep on the other side of. This was around 9:30am. It was the chef! I didn't know it was him until he walked in. My partner and I were completely asleep 25 seconds prior. When I asked Stu why he was in my room, and if everything was ok, he started berating me for everything from leaving the kitchen in the condition it was in to letting me know how inappropriate it is to have a housekeeper bring me coffee in the morning. Had he arrived on time, the kitchen would have been sparkling. I won't even address the delivery of coffee, because it's my money that pays for the supplying of coffee, and the making of the coffee. I will have my coffee how I wish. After our two "run ins" I decided I would rather figure out how to make a dinner for 15 people on my own than deal with this person again. I dismissed Stu. But, of course, not before he could manage to make several threats. I am sure I will hear from this guy. What I said above is 100% true without embellishment. I have at least 9 adult witnesses (several lawyers, Stu). In hindsight, it was a little bit of entertainment. He managed to be the biggest drama in a family full of large personalities. But, far too expensive for the quality of the entertainment. I recommend the circus. FYI: this guy never cooked for me or my family, though he demanded several hundred dollars for his "services". My credit card company and I couldn't pinpoint any service preformed. Don't do it to yourself. Find someone else.

Not sure how the negative reviews below happened but I was impressed by his customer service and attention to detail . A+++ in book I will be doing this again for sure! Thank you Chef Stu!

Chef Steve and his team were amazing with their attention to detail and incredible food. Having a gathering with different age groups, we knew we wanted a nice mix of traditional options. The tenderloin was tender and perfectly cooked, the smoked salmon-wrapped asparagus with chipotle aioli was a huge hit, and though I was initially hesitant to include the watercress and watermelon radish salad, I am glad I did as it was a delicious complement to the rest of the meal. Even the Creme Brulé was so good that it stole the spotlight from my cake. I know that there are cheaper companies out there, but for the quality, service, and food that we received I could not have picked a better place. My friend had a birthday to remember for a lifetime, my guests left happy and full, and I had a great experience with Chef Steve and his team.
