My girlfriend and I just took our first class at Shiso Kitchen, and we can't wait to go back. Jess is incredibly knowledgeable - she gave us tons of great tips throughout the class, and was willing to answer any questions we had around ingredients, styles, and personal preferences. We learned a lot, had a ton of fun, and the food was delicious.

Went here with friends on a Saturday night and the beer selection was great. I tried 3 very different brews - a Douple IPA, a Sour, and Stout, and loved all three. It was busy as expected and hard to find a table, but loved that they had a live band performing and there were ample games available. Overall great vibe and would recommend!

My daughter treated me to a Sunday afternoon wine class on Bastille Day. What a great gift! We tasted three very generous portions of French wines, including champagne, and learned about the history of the making of these natural wines. I would highly recommend this wine bar to anyone who loves wine and if you aren't a fan of wine, I bet you would be after this activity.
