It was so fun working in the kitchen with Shane and the other cooks. Today's menu was based on Cajun Fair and did not disappoint. Thank you for a very fun filled date night. read more

Love this place for special events and group dinners! I've been here twice - once for a work event and once for my significant other's birthday dinner. I got to enjoy making Asian and Italian cuisines and I AM NOT a great cook at all. The team is great and very helpful, so you don't have to be stressed out if you make a mistake. The recipes are great, and the owner even sells a cookbook so you can take the recipes home! read more

Very well organized and comfortable atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. Instructors Carrie and assistant Ruthie were well prepared and helpful. So sorry I forgot to leave a well deserved gratuity! read more

If you dont cook much or are a home ched like me. This is a great experience. You arrive with your favorite bottle of wine and are given a station and recipes and ingredients. The instructor is very thorough and helpful in making you comfortable with the process, the tools, and the appliance. Today we cooked a delicious pork roast marinated in bourbon teriyaki and Maple bourbon infused sweet potatoes. It was so fun and after everyone made all their dishes we sat together and shared what we cooked. It was a true feast. We will definately be back to try another class. read more

Probably one of the best experiences I've had in a while and I'd highly recommend it for people who love good food and experiencing new culinary delights....The staff is amazing and many are professionally trained....Many thanks to Katie a graduate of Johnson and Wales in Providence RI. The kitchen set up was amazing and with only one stove and oven, all the work stations were prepped with all the ingredients, utensils and kitchen tools necessary to complete the recipes...Last night the tapas created were outstanding and I came away with many new recipes to try with my friends....My bride and I happily made albondigas in a simple roasted tomato,red peppers garlic and olive oil purée, along with a garlic chili sautéed mushrooms.....A good time was had by all and no one cut or burned themselves....Looking forward to our next experience read more

This is a fantastic way to spend a wonderful evening, especially if with friends. You will get wonderful produce, meat and ingredients and be instructed to prepare a multiple course mouth watering dinner! It couldn't be better or more fun! read more

If you are looking for a unique date night in Melbourne this is the place to come! My husband and I did the valentine's day one and it was amazing. The recipes were to die for. There are multiple groups that each get two recipes to make. They all come out around the same time and you sit down as a group and eat family style. At the end you will get electronic copies of the recipes to make at home! We've made a few of them already. Only problem is they are so good that classes book up two months ahead of time. So make sure to plan in advance! It is BYOB but she has wine and beer glasses and a small wine fridge to keep it cold while you're cooking. read more

We love this place. Covid precautions in place for participants. Great teaching and instructions. Food is delicious and this particular French cooking class was new to us so we learned a lot. Highly recommend this place and any of their classes. read more

I signed up for this cooking class for a date night. I was very surprised by what I signed up for. This was very different than your traditional cooking class. But also way funner! Without giving too much away... I learned how to cook a dish I had never eaten and loved it, met some awesome people at the table, and the hospitality was amazing . The owner really loves what she does and it shows! She puts her heart in every interaction and makes sure not only the food is on point but that everyone has a great time. We will definitely be back! Thanks for welcoming us into your kitchen and for the great night ! read more

A beautiful evening with family and new friends. Chef Katie planned a wonderful menu of Greek cuisine and kept dinner on schedule. The recipes were easy to follow, even for the inexperienced chef. read more

I went to a knife class....menu not disclosed prior. I was one of seven guests, but the only one who hadn't already been to a class. I was completely confused...I did not know what I was supposed to be doing. It seemed the owner was much more interested in helping established clients I left after an hour very upset. It was a complete waste of time and money if you don't already know what you're doing DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

What an amazing way to spend an evening!! My BF and I had an incredible evening cooking delicious foods under the guidance of Carrie & Lara. The ambience is set as soon as you walk in the door, the decor is beautiful and welcoming. The dishes were easy, thanks to the recipe guidance that was posted at each station. Enjoying the foods family style with our new friends was a great way to cap the experience. I HIGHLY recommend visiting The Gathering Table - it is an experience that you will enjoy and won't soon forget! read more

What an amazing experience I had this evening with my best friend at the gathering table in downtown Melbourne. Tonight's theme was Mexican and we had an amazing menu from shrimp cocktail two homemade tortillas Carne Asada enchilada casserole and Margarita cheesecake shooters that my girlfriend and I were responsible for... The staff was amazing and helpful and they really cared about our experience... We all sat down to a family style meal with plenty to eat for everyone... If you're looking for something special to do with your loved one I highly recommend this outing! Thanks Tracey read more

Absolutely loved the idea! Found this when searching for cooking classes on line; I'm always seeking fun things to do. My friend and I attended the Create Your Own Sushi class and had a wonderful time. We not only made a great but made some new friends as well. Carrie is a wonderful instructor; was interactive but not bossy like some chefs can be. Best of all, no need to wash dishes! I did clean my area as we went along so that the clean up wouldn't be that bad but still...no dirty dishes to worry about during or after dinner. I have already decided that I will be attending the Mexican dinner class for Cinco De Mayo. I'll be bringing sangria for my beverage. read more

What a wonderful family night! Our Lucia & Matt gifted the family. Thank you Carrie for opening the night for us considering flight/travel constraints. I cannot believe how much food was prepared by the whole group. So much fun for all wanna be foodies!! Really enjoyed picking up new techniques and tasting new combinations. BYOB added laughs too! Definitely will be back for ladies night or pulling together some couples. read more

An adorable place and so much fun!! Plus we all made delicious food and then we had a dinner party. I'm telling everyone I know.

I organized a birthday dinner for my boyfriend and two other gentlemen who are friends of ours. There were ten of us all together. We got to pick out the menu we wanted and Carrie supplemented it with another appetizer and fry bread (yummy!). Eight of us cooked, leaving one cheerleader, and one official photographer who documented the evening. What fun we had! The food was amazing, not difficult to prepare, and the teamwork made it all that much more fun. We ate until we couldn't hold another bite! It was money well-spent, and an evening that will go down in the memory book as a wonderful time for sure. Thank you Carrie and Lara for doing all those dishes!! read more

I invited my family to The Gathering Table as part of their Christmas present on the night that everyone arrived in town. We had fun cooking, sipping beer and wine, talking and eating all the nice food we had prepared. We enjoyed getting to know two others who were present that night as well. I highly recommend The Gathering Table for a fun and enjoyable evening as a couple or as a group. I knew this would be fun as my husband and I enjoyed an evening there late summer 2018. The first night was a Floribbean night and in December was an evening of European Delight. I look forward to going back for more cooking and sharing the meal with others. read more

Foodies prepare to be impressed! I've always wanted to improve my cooking skills without a laborious or instructional class - and this experience was incredible. The menu that Carrie laid out was extensive... it had a Mexican theme which sounded ok - but it turned out to be the most gourmet and authentic, delicious food ever! Our group was divided into smaller stations - which is great because the kitchen is not humongous - each with a recipe for a few items which all come together so eloquently. I will *definitely* be back! read more
