Cooking Classes

You've eaten it here. Now learn to make it.

Two Sundays a month, our dining room becomes a classroom. Small hands-on classes with a chef who's been breaking down whole fish for nineteen years — and every class ends the way dinner should: seated at the table, waiter service, the plate you made in front of you.

How it works.

  • Three hours in our kitchen — hands-on, every guest cooks
  • Class caps at 14 guests — small enough that Tony works with each person
  • Includes lunch + the dish you made, served family-style
  • One glass of wine per guest, plus a printed recipe packet to take home
  • 18+. Apron and chef's hat provided.

How the evening goes.

Not a counter and a shared tasting. A seat at the table, time in a working kitchen, and dinner served to you.

  1. 1

    At the table

    You're seated with a drink for a 15-minute Chef Talk — what you're making, why it works, and a chance to meet the room before anyone picks up a knife.

  2. 2

    Into the kitchen

    Move to the line and prep to cook. Aprons on, stations set — the same kitchen the restaurant runs every night.

  3. 3

    Cook with the chefs

    Work alongside Chef Tony and the team through every step, then plate your own the way it leaves our pass.

  4. 4

    Back to the table

    Sit down to what you made with full waiter service — no cleanup, no standing at a counter. The way an evening should end.
