The Cooking Table La Estancia - 45037 Zapopan

Excellent master class from Chef Pepe and diligent attention from Edgar. Areas for improvement: a blender is missing. The knives were not sharp enough

A few days ago I paid for a personalized class on the occasion of my anniversary. The truth is that I trusted that it would be a great experience because I have already seen this type of class where after preparing, you have dinner with your partner and well, it seemed like a good idea to me because apart from the fact that my fiancé and I are very foodies, he love to cook, so it seemed like a good idea. The truth is, I didn't investigate much, because I see their networks and the courses they offer and their advertising seem amazing to me. However, we were extremely dissatisfied with the personalized class and I do not recommend it at all, at least for a special occasion, I do not recommend it at all. 1. The cost became excessive, they charge $3000 pesos for two people to cook fried rice, tempura vegetables and tempura ice cream (the ice cream was from Holland) we did not do it because it was not possible due to the weather. 2. They don't include anything to drink other than mineral water and "soda" which I had to ask them to have because they only offer water and if you want to drink wine you have to bring it yourself, really?? For that price not even a glass of wine??. 3. The facilities leave much to be desired, I repeat... At least for a special occasion, not recommended, perhaps to take a cooking course they are "ok". 4. The last thing that seemed terrible to me was that they put some glasses for us and apart from being very neglected they were dirty inside full of dust, I brought my wine and I had to wash my glass. 5. They send you the menu and although you choose it, they only give you 3 equally basic and cheap options. 6. The experience is not worth the price. Finally, if I have to comment that the only thing that was worth it was the chef because he was always very kind and attentive, that is why I give them two stars, otherwise I would have rated them only one star. In short, this comment is with the intention of improving this type of experience because, perhaps, the price would not have seemed excessive, if the experience was worth it, even if the food was something simple. I understand that the time and knowledge of a person costs, but really the inputs of what is prepared are not more than $500 pesos. The experience fell far short of our expectations. I think that if they are going to offer this type of experience, if they should give it a little more money or charge less because if it was an excess (a robbery) because in a restaurant we have paid that and the dishes and the experience are not They don't even come close. I think the idea is really good and I already knew this concept from cdmx, but I hadn't seen it here and I think they have a great opportunity to do something very cool!! I know I'm being very harsh but I really left with a very bad taste in my mouth and more because it was my anniversary and I was looking for something special, I really regretted not having gone to a better restaurant. I hope you take these comments and improve in this type of experience or better not offer them. Greetings!
