Abigail's Kitchen

We enjoy the experience of Dinner in the Dark.

Great experience and wonderful chef/owner!

Very informative..instructor was great,!!

Overall, instructor was knowledgable, but unhelpful at key points. Class was disorganized and food was ok. Read on for specifics. Pros: - Instructor was charismatic, knowledgable, and passionate about creating good food with good ingredients. - The knowledge of ingredients and techniques of making pho seemed in depth and pointed when presented by the instructor. - Spoke highly and in detail of local Vietnamese grocery stores in China town for acquiring specific ingredients Cons: - Class was disorganized. Ingredients and utensils were still being brought out after the designated start time. - Instructor's assistant was distracted and forgot to include specific ingredients within summer roles which caused many of them to lack those ingredients. - Instructor started describing how to make dumplings. Did not provide clear instruction. Left the table and simply handed two guests the recipe to follow without instruction. They were then left to figure out how to make the dumplings on their own. This could have been done at home and was not appropriate for a class setting. The instructor should work with their guests with the assumption they do not know how to create the dish as this is why they paid for the class. -When asked what the instructor's favorite pho place was in the city, the answer was they did not have one and that their pho was the best pho. This was unappreciated to say that there was not one restaurant in the city, who specialize in pho and Vietnamese cuisine, was any good. They could not mention at least one good place to try which was off putting. -After dessert and natural discussions around the table subsided past the 8:30pm class end, there was no send off or close from the instructor. People just simply got up in silence and said good bye which prompted the instructor to then start saying good bye.

Excellent. Food and wine were great. A lot of fun.

Yet another great class at Abigail's Kitchen. Chef Roger was informative and helpful, and the menu was delicious. Chef Abby and her team are terrific. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

I loved it all! The sounds the tastes the courses were awesome. I do think some of my food had a touch of cream or something that I listed as a sensitivity, but it was all very tasty. If there was anything about the experience I would change, I’d say that if we are supposed to wait outside in the wintertime, we should know about it so we don’t end up arriving early and waiting so long in the cold. Anyway, thank you Abigail and staff you were all so kind and accommodating!

Cordial, knowledgeable ppl. Nice atmosphere. Well organize.

Amazing experience!!!

My partner and I took this class yesterday; we were blown away by the expertise and intimacy of the night. Abigail is such a knowledgable and bubbly hostess and she led the class with an infectious fervor. Matt, who also assisted with the class, made everything seamless between wines. We had such an amazing time discovering natural wines and understanding wine as a sensory experience. Thank you for everything!
