This places is a hidden oasis of brunch goodness…read more My mom has been badgering me for years to try CSFW's brunch and I finally decided to make a reservation for us to have brunch as a belated Mother's day treat. As mentioned in the other reviews, the cost is $16.95 pp. When they seat you, you get a choice of three different entree's (i chose the seafood cake with Orzo, my mom chose the grilled pork chop with polenta) along with fresh made bread, homemade fabulous strawberry lemon marmalade, and flavored butters. In addition to that, you have access to the various food stations. They have a salad and soup station, an omelet station, a pasta station, and a dessert station. They provide you with basic beverages such as coffee, iced tea, orange juice - but you can also BYOB so making your own mimosas are definitely an option. I could go on an on about how wonderful my meal and experience was - i really cant say enough but here's a short version: My seafood cake was heavenly. it consisted of crab, shrimp, and cod. it was mostly seafood and didn't require along of binders. I was seriously disappointed that it was gone so quickly. Keep in mind, your entree is more of a small plate, however with all the other goodies at the stations you'll definitely leave stuffed. The soup i got was a corn chowder that was excellent. Of course, you cant go wrong with an omelet! it was fluffy and perfectly cooked. I passed on the pasta station because i was getting too full and I didn't want to miss out on dessert. I loved how all of the staff was eager to talk about the food, process, etc. Their service was impeccable and made our experience very memorable. They even had a guy there playing the acoustic guitar. If you love food and love being around people who enjoy discussing ingredients and techniques this place is for you. Heck, even if you just want to eat and chill this place is for you! Make sure you call ahead for a reservation. Also: i would consider this place more kid-tolerant than kid-friendly.

Yum! Great brunch experience!…read more There are a half dozen (or so) stations set up including made-to-order omelets, pancakes, salads, soups, pasta & desserts. You also get to order from a menu of seasonal entrees. All delicious. Brunch includes tea, coffee & juice for $16.95 pp. I dined with a group of girls and brought in a cooler with champagne & grapefruit juice, which I recommend doing. Service was excellent.

The bread was absolutely stunning and hands down the best we've ever tasted. The salad was simple yet packed with complex, vibrant flavor, and the puttanesca pasta was unforgettable. More than just the food, Chef Dazore was the entire vibe. The three of us were learning, laughing, and fully enjoying every moment. It felt less like a class and more like an experience you didn't want to end--effortless, engaging, and so much fun. Thank you for making babe's birthday such a blast--we'll definitely be back!

Wanted to surprise my sister with a Christmas floral arrangement.

I grow them and always have them last at least a week. Big waste of money!!! They did offer a $6 credit. Would you consider that reasonable? Ok, January update... Central Market contacted me and said they would like to resend a floral arrangement to my sister. My sister gushed how pretty it was. That's all I wanted was to give my very nice sister some flowers to maker her smile. Thank you Haylie for making this right.

My husband and I went to a cooking demonstration where we were served food and wine rather than…read morecooking ourselves. The entire premise was that we were supposed to be taught how to pair wines with food - but the entire thing was just the wine company owner talking vaguely about how the wine was made. While dinner was a 5 course meal and the food was relatively tasty, it all came out at room temp. For the price that we paid for each ticket, I was expecting an actual learning experience (rather than an ad) and better quality of food. My husband and I could have made better food at home ourselves and saved the money. We won't be returning to Central Market for a cooking class or demonstration.

I recently had a private party for my birthday at CCK, and I can't express how much I…read morewholeheartedly recommend this experience for any occasion or no occasion at all. Chef Mike was amazing from my first reach out email to saying goodbye after a few hours of laughter, cooking, and fun. Chef Brooke and Chef Richard were also just as engaging, energetic, friendly, and helpful. The classes are set up to be approachable and fun for all skill levels. Everyone in our group has been raving about the experience all weekend and can't wait to attend the public classes. I was so proud to show off CCK and know we have a business of this caliber in our community. RUN, don't walk, to their next class!

My private event for 16 people was perfect. The equipment and space in the teaching kitchen are…read morefantastic. Chefs Mike and Brooke are absolute professionals. They do a whole lot more than just teach some recipes. They created a really fun experience that my guests could feel totally part of. They were organized and well prepared. When we arrived the prep stations were ready to go and they had all of the ingredients and tools ready to grab at the right time. Mike helped me design a delicious custom 5 course menu. The recipes were delicious. Everything was timed to be ready in stages. Even my guests who typically don't like to cook got into the action. It was a totally fun experience. We are looking for another time to plan another event.

We really enjoyed our class! As soon as we walked in we had to wash our hands in a visible sink,…read morewhich I appreciated. You will be cooking as a community, so you won't directly get to make every dish but you'll certainly be able to participate and engage. The best part is that you get to eat the food as it is ready on a community table. Highly recommended, you can come by yourself, in a group, as couples, literally cannot go wrong!!

You will get your $$$ out of this experience not only because of all the delicious food you will…read moreeat but because you've been taught at least 5 things that will make you a better cook. Easy to make recipes but not at all boring! Great instruction. You may eat things you thought you didn't like and now love. Go online to check out their menu because there's a great variety. I went alone but it'd make a great date night or friend date. You can be as involved in the cooking as you want to be or you can kick back and relax, have some wine and watch others take control. Leave your readers at home since everything is prepped and measured! Met so many nice people (there were 11 of us). Plenty of room. They validate parking inside! Easy to find. Lots of other fun stuff going on in that part of town. I wish I would have brought a Tupperware though because I couldn't finish it all! Can't wait to try out my new recipes at home.

The Cookery is a great date night / group activity spot if you're looking for something fun,…read moreinteractive, and just different enough to make you feel like you have plans. I came for the sushi-making class, and overall, it was a really good time. The setup was smooth, the atmosphere was lively, and the whole experience felt more like a social night out with a little culinary cosplay which honestly, has its place. They also offered wine and sake pairings, and you can BYOB, which definitely helps keep the vibe festive. That said... if you're hoping to leave with the confidence to open your own omakase counter in a strip mall, this is not that. A lot of the components were pre-made or prepped ahead of time, and there wasn't a ton of actual teaching around technique, ingredients, or the food itself. So while you do "make sushi," it's less MasterClass and more cute, hands-on dinner activity. But honestly? That's not necessarily a bad thing. Not every class needs to end with a knife skills certification and a spiritual relationship with sushi rice. Bottom line: Come here if you want a fun, low-pressure experience for a date night, girls' night, or team outing. Just set expectations correctly: this is more about the experience than becoming the next IronChef.
