  • 5/5 from Maria, attended Feb 2026: This class was amazing! We booked it for a team-building event in NYC, and everyone had so much fun learning how to cook Spanish tapas together. The atmosphere is unmatched, with a cozy, low-lit setup, great music, and unlimited drinks. I learned so much from the three chefs guiding us along the way, from proper knife skills to making the perfect roux. I couldn’t recommend this cooking class enough!
  • 5/5 from Brooke, attended Feb 2026: This was such a great class! The space is really lovely, warm and a really fun enviroment to learn how to cook a homey feeling meal! We were greated by a wonderful team of chefs who were so kind and helpful and made the experience so much fun! The food we made was so good and we were shocked we were the ones to cook it! We made Patatas Bravas, Cheese & Ham Croquetas, Garlic Sautéed Shrimp and much more! Everything was explained clearly and was way less intimidating than I expected. The chefs made it simple and fun for us to learn how to cook the meal while socalize with our collegues and wine - all around super fun! I recommend this class to anyone looking for something fun and delicious to do with a group of friends or colleagues! Great food, great enviorment and learned a lot about this fabulous cuisine!

  • 5/5 from Chloe Shanteau, attended Feb 2026: 10/10! The venue was perfectly set up downstairs from their main restaurant, cozy and intimate but with all of the necessary appliances. Chef Lizzy went above and beyond with helping our group learn basic cooking fundamentals on top of the intricacies of making delicious croquetas and addictive garlicky red pepper sauce. Their team was very hospitable and fun to be around.
  • 5/5 from Gemma, attended Feb 2026: Really enjoyed this class at Abigail's Kitchen! The venue was great for a group class, and the explanation of each of the dishes we'd be making was very thorough. The tapas that we made was all delicious and it was lovely to be able to eat altogether at the end.
