The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was flavorful and perfectly prepared--you can really tell they care about the quality of what they serve. The ambience was great as well--comfortable, lively, and a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. What really stood out was the service. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, we had a fantastic time celebrating my birthday here. I highly recommend Pants on Fire if you're looking for great food, great atmosphere, and great people. We will definitely be back!

We walked around the store for several minutes as the only customers, with at least three sales associates working, and were not greeted at all. I was honestly shocked at how blatantly we were ignored. The associates all huddled in the checkout area talking and barely looked up as more customers eventually came in. Go to SF instead, where the staff are friendly and knowledgeable!!

The Mixing Glass arrived a little later then anticipated (10 days opposed to 3-5), but they called me when it came in. It was as I exactly what I needed at my work Bar.

If you like high-end kitchenware, you have got to check the store out…read more It was quite the learning experience for me, I had no idea Zwillings owned so many high-end companies Zwilling Henckels Miyabi BSF Demeyere Staub Fontignac Ballarini I came away very impressed.That is a hard hitting lineup. The sales were very exciting. First there was a storewide 20% off sale. And then some of the individual pieces had some pretty impressive reductions. However, remember this is an outlet store. I found some of the most heavily discounted equipment had cosmetic flaws. On the other hand, I went to the Le Creuset store two decades ago and got myself a Dutch oven which had a cosmetic flaw, and that thing has been working great the whole time. But before you go to town, check to see if the warranty is in effect. It's kind of pity that my kitchen is so well stocked with equipment. Between the discounts and the excellent selection, I would been in deep trouble with this store several decades ago. While it's easy to focus on the knives and the cookware there is a lot more to the store. They carry an incredible number of small kitchen accessories that can solve common problems. The expert and friendly sales person showed me a really nice magnetic bar, which can be used to mount knives in otherwise wasted spaces in the kitchen. Unfortunately, for the sales person, I already had one of these. But I can definitely testify that this is an incredibly useful device. Some people complain that magnetic bars ruin your knives. But you have to know the trick to using them. Basically you have to kind of peel the knife off the magnetic bar and this prevents scratching and other minor damage. Also, if your knives are looking scratched, there is a whetstone with an incredibly fine grit that will put a mirror polish on your knives. Scratches are not the disaster you think they are. So stop feeling bad about all your kitchen problems and go to this store which has more solutions than you realize. Remember to bring your knives if you need them sharpened.

Who doesn't love a good factory outlet?!…read more The factory outlet stores in Vacaville is the shopping center that is one of if not the largest between Sacramento and San Francisco. It absolutely is filled with many of the better upscale shopping choices, as well as, many of the stores that you'll see at some of the smaller outlets. I decided to pop into Zwilling to check out their weekend sale. If you have a Dutch oven obsession, this is absolutely your place to shop. Yes, it's pricey, but it's all about quality right?! The store is relatively small, and they seem to have a smattering of everything that the company carries or at least most things. If it wasn't for the fact that I had other places to go and things to do, I could've spent so much more time here. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. They don't hover, but definitely make themselves available for questions and help. And if they don't have an answer, they will immediately ask more senior employee to help them out. The store is neat and tidy, and if you love cooking on any level, this absolutely is a store that you should explore! From the Dutch ovens, to the knives, if you're looking for quality and perhaps even a deal, you will get both here!

Quality/Quantity - Product offerings: Restaurant equipment,…read moresmallwares (what we come for), glasswares, parts and services. Services offered are - Design and build restaurants, finance, equipment parts, etc. We/I come here for my kitchenware, I like using commercial grade products rather than residential. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Actually fairly large for a restaurant supply company in the Bay Area. Open 6 days a week from 8am to 5pm, closed Sundays. Plenty of parking. Service - Just okay. You have to ask for service. Our past contact finally retired, congrats. Price - Expensive. But you pay for convenience. Well not today as I got an ice scooper for only $2; Amazon would have been $4. Woohoo, balling. Livin' the life, lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1934 and with your two locations.

That peaked my interest especially since I am a kitchen gadget connoisseur. I quickly found parking and beelined into the shop. The shop had a bit of everything essential for a kitchen... cutting boards, glassware, silverware, pots/pans, bakeware, gadgets, knives...and then some. The prices were competitive even to online sellers. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They even partner with local craft makers to sell their ware's such G. Shaver cutting boards that are works of art and B. Davis custom made to order oven boards. Regarding the parking, there is unmetered street parking in the front of the shop. But they also have their own parking lot in the back of the shop with ADA spots. Great, especially if parallel parking ain't your thing. Plus right next door is Pioneer Mining and across the street is Depoe Bay Coffee shop, other great local owned small businesses.

Sign of the Bear Kitchenware in Sonoma, CA, is in the historic Sonoma Plaza shopping district…read more Sign of the Bear kitchenware. Say that 10 times fast. Just as fun to say, it's fun to browse even if you're not a home chef. They have brand name, quality cookware, bakeware, and kitchen items. Gifts and gadgets. Basic items (inexpensive) to "what do I do with this" specialized items (pricier). All at reasonable, competitive pricing for the brands. Locally owned since 1972. Awesome! The place is not particularly large, but they have a knack for utilizing space without feeling cluttered. I stopped in recently because I happen to be in the area and heard they carry Smithy, American made cast iron cookware. In particular I was looking for the carbon steel line of Smithy which is supposedly lighter in weight than their cast iron line. The young sales associate helped me locate the Smithy display. He was aware of the brand and knew where it was exactly in the shop. Lovely, gorgeous pieces. Pricing was on par.After doing my weightlifting kitchen curl test with a 10 inch skillet, I concluded that it is less weighty but I'm too weak to handle even that carbon steel weight. However I am uncommonly lacking the normal upper body strength. So you most likely will not have the same issue as I.
