I imagine the students are not back from break yet because it was a very quick in and out stop! There is plenty of seating. The two gentlemen working were very efficient. The man who took our order was extremely friendly! I would say the bagels are a little pricey but the sandwich did have 4 entire eggs on it, so probably worth it! It was huge. "This sandwich could fuel a warrior for many moons." - my boyfriend after eating the sandwich The bagels were different than what I am used to in CNY but they were still very good. The veggie cream cheese was particularly good - it had what appeared to be freshly chopped veggies mixed in which I really enjoyed. We would definitely stop back if we get the opportunity to in the future!

I like Sur La Table, and I'm surprised at the low 2.3-star Yelp rating. I've purchased kitchenware…read moreitems here several times and also attended a cooking class. I've always found the store to be clean, neat, and well stocked. On this visit, I was interested in purchasing a larger Epicurean cutting board. I tried a small Epicurean board and really liked it, so I decided to get a full-sized version. These cutting boards are made in the USA from a paper composite material. They're durable, knife-friendly, nonporous, thin, and very lightweight. I find them much easier to use and maintain than traditional cutting boards. Sur La Table had many sizes to choose from, and I selected the 17-by-13-inch version. I stepped up to the register and was helped immediately. It cost $54.95. Tip: If you know the size you want, Amazon offers these for about $10 less.

I received the notification that it was ready for pickup about 45 minutes later and off I went to the store. Three employees were at the register when I arrived on Sunday May 24th around noon: Basil (great name!), another guy and a young woman (brownish hair, a little below the shoulders with NO personality at all). Very friendly Basil went to the back to get my dish towel while Ms. No Personality scowled about needing my ID because telling my name and exactly what I was picking up was not enough. That is fine (note that I also offered to show Friendly Basil the bar code for pick-up from my email, but he probably had gotten my order ready because he knew all about it), but when I pulled out my license I noticed that she barely looked at it...... it's as if she just wanted to be aggravating for a moment. Well, she was. Here is an idea for her (and the store manager): "may I please see your ID" would be a REALLY polite thing to say! Or just that barcode, which I did just offer to show. 5 stars to Basil, 0 stars to the obnoxious girl

Great food and…read more great service This is a review of a Holiday party for the New England Scientific Manufactures Association that was held at the Culinary Center at Gordon's. I'm not much for fancy type parties but I have to admit this was an impressive display of culinary talents. Chiefs Paul Turano and Anne Moynihan kept my unsophisticated palette entertained by such delicious, delicate and delightful creations like Mionetto Prosecco, wild mushroom and goat cheese tart, braised escarole and pumpkin bread pudding. At the end warm apple crostata and butter pecan ice cream filled up any remaining space in my cavernous gizzard. Some truly incredible food. In between courses different wines were passed and and discussed. Since I know virtually nothing about wine it was a fascinating and mesmerizing experience. I never applied such adjectives as zingy, fruity, silky, toasty, or round to booze before. The food was prepared on a table right in front of the audience and servers and chefs were personable, funny, entertaining and just as nice as can be. I learned that there is more to food and booze than just seeing how fast you can shove in down your throat. It hard to imagine a place to hold an event better than Gordon's Culinary Center. Oh yeah, they also sell a lot of cool booze in the store on the other side.

Sommelier Smackdown, once a Yelp event and now a monthly happening is just about the coolest event out there! Think of it like a "dinner and theater date" only, your theater is standing in front of you joking away as they cook your meal and battle to pick the best wine! $65 bucks gets you a four course meal, cooked right in front of you by Chefs Louie and Ian of Sel De la Ter and pours of 8 different wines, picked by well known Sommelier's around town! The Sommelier's battle to pair the best wine with each course as you are entertained by cooking jokes and quips like "Chuck Noris can smell what the rock is cooking, because the rock is his person chef" that fly through the air right next to wine knowledge and cooking tips! I must admit, I love it so much, I have been going to the last 3 months straight and plan of being a pretty permanent fixture! If you are really into wine, and wine makers, make sure to check out the calendar of other events and lots of well known wine makers come through Gordon's for tastings. Hope to see you at the next SMACK DOWN!
