Of course,…read moreonce I had the idea it occurred to me that it would be weird to send him alone, so last night we embarked on sushi adventure for two! We learned a delicious twist on edamame, what goes into miso soup, and how to cook sushi rice (not as straightforward as you think), then actually made our own maki and uramaki! Translation: Hand rolls with nori (seaweed) on the outside and inside-out rolls with rice on the outside. They also prepared tempura vegetables and gave us the secret to achieving that delicious light breading! Notes on the experience? For the sushi lover in your life, this is a MUST DO! I can't believe how lucky we are to have this talented team of culinary artists right here in Lexington! A sushi fanatic I am not, therefore I was (one of) the high-maintenance one(s) for whom they so kindly seared the tuna and salmon, but for that reason I would absolutely recommend it to ANYONE who enjoys sushi, even in a limited capacity! You get to keep your sushi paddle, mat, and chopsticks. They have beer and wine available for purchase, but you can also BYOB. In addition to the kitchen and seating areas there is a little retail section where you can shop, and they offer a wide variety of public classes, private classes, catering, events, and workshops year round. Thanks to Chef Allison and Chef Shawn for an entertaining, educational, and epicurious evening!

While online ordering is available, the true charm is found by visiting the Chevy Chase location in person--especially if you have the pleasure of working with Kelly. Kelly is exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations were thoughtful and perfectly suited to our tastes, making the experience feel both personal and elevated. I haven't yet visited the Hamburg location, but it's certainly on my list. During our visit, Kelly shared that Stuarto's hosts monthly cooking classes featuring their products. My husband and I decided to turn one into a date night, and it was a wonderful experience. The chef was engaging and articulate, the ingredients were prepped in advance, and the entire evening felt effortless yet refined--focused on flavor, technique, and enjoyment. A particularly lovely touch was that Kelly remembered us when we arrived for the class, reinforcing the level of care and attention that defines this business. From the quality of the oils and vinegars to the impeccable service and thoughtfully curated events, Stuarto's Olive Oil Company delivers excellence at every level. A truly polished experience--I highly recommend it.

They have (had?) a book shelf with a sort of leave one take one kinda thing (a bit of an in-business little free library). The staff was friendly but also left me alone once I settled in with my book. I recall the playlist on the day being fire.
