Took a fun cooking class here on a Sunday morning. Perfecting French pastries. Chef Dominique was a ball of high energy leading us through the class of almost 2.5 hrs. Everything is prepared for you , you just follow instruction. Great space at the back of the store, where they do several classes a week, look up on their website. They offered us water or espresso when we got there. You then get right into it. After you put your apron on, first on the list was sea salt caramels or Fleur de sel caramels ! This was a lot of getting water and sugar to heat and stirring ! Pop it in a pan and cool to cut later. Then onto making the choux pastry for the eclairs. Make the dough and let that cool. While you make the pastry cream and melt the chocolate. Then pipe the dough onto the marked sheets . Bake ! Then once cooled you fill with cream and roll the tops in chocolate. Voila ! Those were fun and delicious. Surprisingly light. Next up was the lavender palmiers . Basically on a sheet of pre made puff pastry sprinkle the dried lavender buds and sugar mix and roll into the pastry . Roll up and cut to size. Bake and eat ! Was a little disappointed it was pre made pastry dough for that one. Plus they were kinda hard after they cooled off. The caramels also did not set so we were not able to cut those. Even when we took home and tried again it still got super sticky once at room temp. All in all the class was a fun time though. You're allowed to shop with a 10% discount if you're taking the class and you get $10 off the next class if you sign up that day in store. The time goes fast as you're going through each recipe. You're placed in groups so not everyone gets to do each step but you end up switching out. They have a great selection of classes and times to suit. Then you take your goodies home with you ! Was a fun sister time for us !

Recently attended the pasta at home cooking class with Dom. First off Dom is amazing - so energetic, fun, and clearly a vet at this. The pasta making process was simplified and enjoyable and the final product made me never want to buy a box of noodles from the store ever again. Truly loved everything about this class, would have just like a seat to sit down and fully enjoy the meal. Will be taking another class soon! Pro tip - book your class in person in get a discount!

My wife and I bought a Philips pasta maker from the Charlotte, NC location at Southpark Mall. The machine did not come anywhere close to meeting our expectations. When I tried to return the item, the clerk at the register said we could not return it if we had attempted to use it. How, exactly, are you supposed to know if it works as advertised without using it? If you choose to buy anything from this store, you do so at your own risk.

We came here for a cooking class that I've tried getting into for a year. Due to the pandemic it made it a little difficult because of cancelations and closures of locations. But I was able to finally lock in a date for my fiancés birthday at the South Park Location. He was super surprised and we both were excited to be chefs together and someone show us how to cook something new. The space was very clean and the chef was very kind and helpful. Travis and i both hoped that we could have been more hands on, not sure if that's something they prevented because were still in a "pandemic" or if that's typically how classes are ran. Either way I was hoping we would have like burners in front of us and we cooked our own meals with coaching. We did work as a team with the two other couples that were with us. It was fun and lots of engagement with everyone. We will look into more classes here and recommend you to take a class as well.

Had the absolute BEST time here making beef Wellington with chef dom! You can bring your own wine and drink while you cook. The food came out amazing and chef dom goes above and beyond to make sure your food is on point and even made us a desert! I will absolutely be back to cook with her!

While I feel like I have to start with a disclaimer for the high prices in this store, it's a pretty legit place for those of you out there who like to get your culinary chef on. We may not all be Gordon Ramsey or the next Iron Chefu but we ought to at least be able to feel like it. For that, Sur La Table has your back. Where to start with this place...there are utensils for cooking and for eating, bakeware, pots and pans, cutting boards, an exquisite knife selection, cook books, small appliances and lots of kitchen gadgets I won't bother going into full detail with naming. But think of the stuff you never knew you needed until you saw it. Very specific devices for cutting a single type of fruit or vegetable perfectly. That avocado scooper. The cherry pitter. (I'm not a bartender or professional baker. Many of you might not be either.) But hey, if you're about to make some kind of delicacy and want to make your life easier or shorten the process by several minutes or hours, why not? Most items like that aren't prohibitively expensive. I would be remiss not to mention that they also hold regular cooking classes here. I've never taken them myself but from the looks of it from standing around in the store, they look legit and informative. I've taken the classes at Salud! at Whole Foods and the prices for both fall in the same range. I would definitely like to get in here to take a class myself sometime and see how they stack up. On a final note, I don't want to gloss over the knives here. They've been my draw (what can I say, I dig knives) every time I'm at the mall. There's a massive selection and the shopkeepers seem to really know what they're talking about. By the way, the store's name? It's not pronounced "table". Think French.

The cooking class was fun! My husband and I took the Pappardelle make and take home class yesterday with Daniella as our instructor. She was above average instructor in that she was clear and share tips and best practices about pasta making, knife handling and proper chopping of the ingredients we had to prep I had fun making the pasta by hand. I was glad she gave us a choice. As it's only 2 hours class, most of the ingredients were already prep and measured. All we have to do is chop and cut veggies and mix butter and lemon, etc. The class was very basic enough for beginners to follow along. The class was shorter compared to a class I have attended with Sur La Table in Kirkland WA 3 years ago, but maybe it is because if the pandemic. Overall, I got what I want which was just to refresh pasta making. The crew at the cooking class were helpful, the facility was clean. This store is located within the mall. We got to enjoy the finish product at home with family. The kale salad with the lemon Parmesan and garlic dressing was very good, and was the Pappardelle with asparagus and poached eggs! All in all, we are happy campers. Worth the time, and spend!

This is one of my favorite stores. The store focuses on meal preparation and presentation. They have everything from pots and pans, chef quality cutlery, to cooking spices and cooking oils. My favorite element of the store is kitchen gadgetry. They offer so many neato gadgets to up you game in the kitchen. If you aren't a very good cook that's okay- they offer cooking classes! They will so you how to prepare a great meal in their modern hi-end chef's kitchen. They sell their own line of glassware and china. The employees at this store have always been nice to me and very helpful. They seem to appreciate their job. They are knowledgeable of the products they sell. They seem to enjoy food preparation and helping others!

* My review is strictly on the cooking class itself and not the store * I had a great time during this cooking class, online you can pick which night you would like to join by looking at the recipes. Most of the options are pork so I chose to go with the Greek dish which was a chicken kabob. I highly suggest you bring 2-3 people because you will be working in a group setting. The only downfall of the class is that since it is in a store they do not have a restaurant license so you can't take the food home with you *come hungry*. For parking you should definitely park in the dillards parking deck. Classes range in price from $65-85.

I'll start by being that customer and say I have spent an ungodly amount of money here. Most of my kitchen is stocked from here. I recently decided to use them to sharpen my knives. The biggest headache and mistake I could have made. I dropped them off, picked them up the same day. When I got home and unsheathed them, they were destroyed. Wavy and unusable. Thinking I was dealing with a company I respected I contacted customer service who asked for photos, and agreed compensation was the right path. They referred us to the store. Darcy, the manager was great when we arrived with the damaged knives, shared she couldn't believe how someone could have done this damage. She took the knives, and asked if we still wanted to go the compensation route, we said yes and provided our address as understandably the store cannot just cut a check. We left the knives also understanding we didn't expect to keep them and receive compensation. She assured us we would have a call back from her Tuesday. (This was a Saturday.) Tuesday comes and goes, no response. Then on Wednesday we receive a call our knives are "fixed". We never signed or gave anyone permission to touch the knives again, and only left them under the guise we were turning them in to be compensated for them. Shocker, the manager "wasn't in" and couldn't be reached. So the associate manager who is the one I left the knives with the first time tells me she was told by Darcy to fix them and call us. Half the blade is gone from each knife from trying to "fix them". It's now been weeks since I first asked for my knives to simply be sharpened and we are getting the runaround on a resolution. We are left without kitchen knives, and no can be bothered to call, and sort this out. I am begging you to move your money to Williams Sonoma who has never blatantly lied to us, and certainly has not damaged our products. This is a sorry excuse for a store who refuses to own what they did, and make it right.
