Cooking class review! My friends got this for a team building event- then bought for me for a birthday date night. BYOD and cook and learn plus 10% off ANYTHING in the store. They offer cappuccino espresso too mid class. We cooked Japanese night- miso salmon, fried rice, salad with ginger dressing, tempura veggies, sesame ice cream. Wow, so good and so much food- sad I couldn't take home my leftovers- such a waste. This should change Check it out, but save me a spot too!!! read more

Sur La Table - Our chefs for the night - Cooking Classes Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Looking for a fun activity for a date night or with a group of friends? I highly recommend cooking classes at Sur La Table. Learn new skills, spend time together, and eat a delicious meal that you make! We have attended several of classes over the years and most recently a tamale making class in December and a sushi making class in January, and we are already signed up for a Thai cuisine class in April. The instructors are great, providing cooking techniques and tips, as well as insights on where to get ingredients that are used. After the class, you receive a store discount to get any cookware or utensils you may need to make the meal. We love cooking at home and this is a great way to learn the basic skills needed to broaden our repertoire. read more

Sur La Table - Beginner Sushi Class - Cooking Classes Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Came back to Sur La Table for a baking class. I took the Fall Favorites. We made apple tarts, cranberry brownies, and the chef prepared maple creme de pot for us to eat during class. It was a weekday morning class so a smaller class size and it was nice to have a lot of one on one attention and the ability to get a little creative with the presentation of the desserts. The fall theme was really fun but the recipes are also adaptable to other flavors so lots of opportunity to continue playing with them at home. read more

What a fun team bonding experience! It was a great way to learn. New skills and techniques were also having fun with your friends. We were able to enjoy the sushi building class which also came with Yuzu soda and Matcha ice cream. read more

Such an amazing experience; hands-on, fun, and surprisingly informative. The chef was super knowledgeable and approachable, making even tricky techniques feel doable. We cooked a full meal from scratch, learned pro tips along the way, and actually nailed it. ‍‍ Left with a happy stomach, new skills, and serious inspiration for my next dinner party. 10/10, would absolutely do it again! read more

I visited Sur La Table cooking class with my husband. This was our second visit. We didn't have a great visit the first time, but we decided to give it a try again many years later. Did not love this time either unfortunately. This class is really a technique class where a chef is teaching you technique and it's less about the cooking and more about the technique of what you were making. This is fine but I can cook or follow a recipe so the class is super slow for me. You may a lot of money to attend these classes. About $100 or more per person. The value just is not there for what you are getting from my perspective. read more

Attended a cooking class. They have a nice variety of classes and the instruction was great but honestly feels a little overpriced. They use meat/groceries from Costco, nothing fancy. And when you are done with cooking, you have to stand around your workstation to eat your creation. I would have expected a seating area to enjoy our food and offering to go boxes if we would like to take our food home instead. read more

Boca raton is my favorite location with more variety out and samples like Williams Sonoma has ! however this is one is pretty great !

I had a very disappointing experience on the day of the Hyde Park Fresh Market due to the rude and unprofessional behavior of a sales associate named Terry. As a paying customer, I expected a basic level of courtesy and respect, but unfortunately, that was not the case. My friend, who was with me at the time, really needed to use the restroom. Instead of handling the situation with empathy or at least politeness, Terry responded with unnecessary attitude and disrespectfully told her she wasn't allowed to use it. There's a huge difference between enforcing rules and being flat out dismissive and unpleasant. The tone and manner in which he spoke was completely out of line, especially in a customer-facing job. This kind of behavior left a very negative impression and truly soured our overall experience at what is supposed to be a friendly day out at the market. Given my own experience in customer service, I always make it a point to treat others with kindness and respect which is something I wish had been extended to us. I hope management addresses this issue seriously because customer service should never come with hostility and anger. read more

I finally got a chance to book a weekday cooking class at this location! This was a Tuesday evening private class and overall had a very fun experience with my cousin. We made fresh pasta from scratch and marinated steak with a side of salad with vinaigrette.I will definitely recommend if you are curious and want to take a cooking class here. The chef was very helpful & professional. My next class will be the chocolate croissant class !!! Super excited. read more

Sur La Table is the perfect date night location! My man is a terrible cook, but he tries and he really loves sushi so I thought this would be a perfect outing for his birthday. It was a very interactive class where your work with partners in groups of 4. We hand rolled a salmon sushi, made multiple types of tempura. At first I was a little upset at how little food we were making but in the end, we all were too full to even finish majority of what we made. The only downside to the cooking classes is that u can't take anything you made home. I definitely plan to attend more classes with friends in the future. read more

I love this store. The last time I was at a Sur La Table was in Roseville California at the Fountain shopping center also another beautiful store. I will have to say the customer service at the store was far superior. Highly recommend they have everything you need for any kitchen. read more

My husband and I were in the area for lunch and we decided to check out the store. The staff was very kind and welcoming the selection of kitchen supplies and gadgets and such was awesome. You can't help but want to purchase something and of course we did. I am so glad that we were able to find what we had been looking for for quite a while, which was a wok and some utensils for it, I will definitely return to this location for more of my kitchen needs because I am changing the aesthetics of my kitchen and I saw so many things in there that would fit perfectly. I really liked this store and I highly recommend it. read more

This review is based off the cooking class that sur la table offers :) My husband and I came here for a South American theme dinner. Neither myself or my husband are professionals by any means - which is why we decided to come here and take a cooking class ! We had so much fun and the experience was amazing. The chef we had was awesome ! He took his time and even more time with my husband and myself because we are beginners. They provide all the ingredients for you and you literally make everything. The seasoning, the sauces, so you really feel like a chef. We were there with five other couples and everyone was so nice and it was overall a great experience. I highly recommend for a date night or even just a girls night. You can also bring your own wine and drink while you cook. We will def be back ! read more

This week, my granddaughter, a dear friend, and I had the absolute pleasure of attending a cooking class at Sur La Table in Tampa--and what a delightful evening it was! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. We dove into the vibrant world of Mediterranean cuisine, learning how to prepare a stunning lineup of dishes that tantalized our taste buds and left us completely satisfied. The flavors were mind-blowing, and we all left feeling like we had just returned from a culinary adventure abroad. Whether you're planning a unique date night, a girls' night out, or simply want to try something new and delicious, I highly recommend checking out Sur La Table Tampa. It's an unforgettable way to spend an evening! read more

I love Sur La Table. They have #cookinglessons and so much household items and authentic ethnic items like pasta and oils. We were able to sample their delicious warm apple cider. See photos. read more

I've always been a huge Sur La Table fan from their customer service to their unique products. I recently went on a date night cooking class and it went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. The Date Night: Steak the Tuscan way class was $89 per person. The menu for the evening included: -Pan-Roasted Steak with Capers, Arugula, and Parmesan -Homemade Tagliatelle with Pancetta and Peas -Homemade Pasta Dough -Dark Chocolate-Espresso Budino We started off the class with complimentary wine and the chef told us the basic skills. It was 4 to a station and an excellent way to meet new people! The class was roughly 3 hours with a break in between to shop and explore. The bonus was you can get 10% off anything in the store and I definitely took advantage of that. When we got back from prepping our steaks and pasta, it was time to cook! The process was so much fun and engaging and the steak wasn't bad either. We ended the night with a dark chocolate budino made by the chef and some amazing interactions. I would love to come back, especially for their dessert nights. Honestly one of the best date nights in Tampa this far! read more

Sur La Table is a kitchen supply store. Along with the kitchen supply store they also host and teach cooking to various people including kids, adults etc. So me and my wife went for a date night cooking at Sur La Table. For the cooking session we were cooking salmon, along with boiled potato and quiche. The chef was amazing and guiding us in every step. We loved our cooking date. It was amazing and in the end we ate the food that we made and it was delicious and super tasty. read more

We signed my daughter for a summer series cooking class. She learned how to make homemade pasta, fresh spring rolls, chopped salad, sushi rolls and American classics. She really enjoyed the samplings of the foods they made and had allot of fun making everything as well as making new friends. They offer allot of summer classes for little kids and teen series. I always thought it was for adults only date night events. But these are great for the kids looking to learn a new experience. Lots of wonderful cooking supplies sold in store. Kids got to take home their aprons and got recipes of the items they made. Great experience read more

Stay as far away from this company as you can. I was given an expensive ($159) knife for Christmas. Within six weeks, the handle began falling off. Customer service would do absolutely nothing. First, they wanted the maker; I told them it had their label on it. Then they wanted a picture; I sent a video, with the handle breaking apart. THEN they wanted proof of purchase which I obviously couldn't supply, since it was a gift. JUNK and NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

This store is pretty cool. It's kind of like a Williams Sonoma but has a different vibe that's hard to describe. Walking in on a busy Saturday afternoon, the place was packed. People people people everywhere. Somehow, we were found by an associate who offered us a variety of coffee beverages. We opted for the espresso and continued to browse. When the associate found us again, we told her we were in the market for a new large saute pan. It took us a few rounds to express exactly what we wanted, but she showed us a pan that was just right. Woooooo boy was it expensive though. She assured us it had a lifetime guarantee and was an amazing product, so we went for it. We walked the remainder of the store and found a few odds and ends. There was a kitchen area in the back that I presume is for classes and events, which would be fun. read more

Overall this was a huge bummer and ruined our anniversary to be frank. We are teachers and $190 is a large expense for us. We recognize that we are paying for the chef and the overall cooking class experience, but it is advertised as somewhat of a meal. This was a sampling (photos included) and we ultimately had to go to lunch after our most expensive meal of the year. Disclaimer #1: We have done classes here before and could've had leftovers. I don't know if the portion size was terrible because it was a lunchtime class or because it was a small group, but this was 100% not worth a fraction of the cost. Another Disclaimer: Chef was enthusiastic, engaging and fun. He did nothing wrong and was fantastic. Otherwise: 0/10 do not recommend. The rating is mainly from the disparity between the cooking class description (language & photos) vs. reality of the experience. We would have been disappointed even if the manager, Kelly, was polite or apologetic (hell, she could've just blamed the situation on corporate). Our frustration was exacerbated by Kelly's response, reiteration that they could not have erred (it's an automated process) and her ask for a burden of proof (via photo) that the portion was inadequate. Funnily enough, the portion was so egregious that I took pictures during the plating. I showed the pictures to the manager, Kelly, who said that without a photo of the other group's food, we had to, again, be in the wrong. NOTE: In what world should I have interrupted another couple to take a photo of their portion? Let alone for the purpose of filing a complaint. Also while trying to remain positive for the sake of our anniversary experience. Kelly also emphasized that she could not give us a partial credit, BOGO on another class (in which case we would give them another $95) or anything else to remedy the poor experience (Final Note: we did not ask for a refund). In fact, those solutions were presented by us. Kelly just repeatedly told us that there was nothing she could do and that everything is pre-measured and that there was no way they could have erred. Take a look at the photos for yourself. Don't waste your money here. Go to Bern's for your anniversary. It is cheaper + you get the best steak in town + you get world class wine + a white glove experience vs. getting told that you are in the wrong for a poor experience. @Sur La Table Tampa - please feel free to call me with any questions / desired feedback given this very poor experience.

If a 0 were possible that is what they would get! 1. In Dec my daughter purchased a a sushi making class for us for Christmas for a date night in Feb '25. They never mentioned that was 7pm Super Bowl Sunday, nor did she realize. And of course as the recipients of this for Christmas we didn't either. They sent NO updates prior until an email at 3pm to my wife on the day of the Super Bowl, (when we were out for pre-game & NOT checking email). When my wife finally did get call from unrecognized # at 7:16 pm (for the 7pm class?!) DURING the game she did not answer. Later she listened to the message and it very generically asked if we were going to make "the appt." And here's a different contact #... but never said the name of the company OR what it was for, where, when, etc! 2. Since then we've gotten a few emails hoping we enjoyed the experience (SERIOUSLY- do they not know we weren't there? Surely it couldn't have been a busy sushi making Super Bowl class???!!!) 3. And to add insult to injury we are now BOMBARDED with emails wanting us to come back, or buy something or whatever... and unlike most websites theirs doesn't offer a simple easy to find OPT OUT of email option!!! 4. They have not responded to our email but since we received this sushi making class as a gift we have no other info. About purchase date/price etc. and our daughter is a very busy nightshift shift nurse who does not have the time to investigate or log a complaint to get her $ back. I TRULY think this is shameful, and that it was a scam! They knew it would get missed given the day and made NO effort to reach out days/weeks earlier to confirm NOR did they do the right thing and offer to refund or transfer to another day when we didn't show up on the night of the Super Bowl!!! I am beyond disappointed. I was looking forward to the date night and to experiencing Sur La Table as I'd always heard good things but I'm telling you THEY are the poorest run establishment I've run across in a LONG time! read more

I have been coming here for some years now. This was my first in person class since the pandemic and it was nice being back. The staff are masked which I like. The vibe was still fun and I always learn new tips when I take these classes. The classes can be a bit pricey but they are worth it. I had so much fun as I always do. I wanna go back and do more! read more

Everything about this place is incredible! My girlfriend and I love to take the Sunday afternoon cooking classes. From authentic Thai cuisine, homemade Italian pasta, or French family dinner all of the chefs and staff are amazing. We even picked up some knife cutting skills. They allow you to bring your own wine to enjoy while you learn to cook and enjoy what you prepare. The best part about the classes is the 20% discount towards all purchases in the store afterwards. I can't say enough good things about this place and the tips I've picked up participating. It's fun, you get to drink wine and eat delicious food. They also provide all of the recipes to take home for whatever you prepared in the class. read more

My kids did Baking 101 Camp here and it was a SMASH HIT!! They learned to make things we've never attempted at home (quiche, raviolis, etc) and really gained confidence in the kitchen. Worked well for daughter and son- I think the camp was split 8 girls/4 boys. We will be back next year! Bonus: I got my knives sharpened at Sur La Table that week, so checked off an overdue task! read more

While I didn't love it, it wasn't the worst either. I did the Fried Chicken & Biscuit class. $75 per person. Dislikes: -Depending on class size, it could be up to 4 people per station, which means you are taking turns with 3 other people. At $75+, when I sign up for a cooking class, I want to be able to cook the whole time, really getting the whole experience from beginning to end. -No take home goodies. Likes: -Enough food to go around. -Really yummy food. -Very detailed on how to cook or how to get your desired flavor/temperature. -No pressure to buy anything, but gives incentives (20% off anything in store, 25% off a future class if bought within 24 hours, etc). I would go if I got a gift certificate or a friend offered to pay, but I would not pay again to attend. read more

I took a cooking class at the Tampa location and I didn't have a good experience. They overbook the classes so there's like 4 people per workstation. What that looks like is one person puts in one ingredient, then the other the next. It's like a grade school experience when you're learning a trade etc. Also, they attempted to separate me and my party which would have made it far worse. I definitely wouldn't describe the class as a fun activity. Pay more $ for a better experience somewhere else where you won't be crammed together trying to learn. read more

I loved the store in Sarasota and shopped there often. Unfortunately it closed, but because of my positive experiences, I decided to order online.

I purchased a cooking class November of 2022 during the Black Friday sale, for a class being offered in January of 2023. I received a call stating the class was canceled as the store is going through inventory. This was a gift for a friend for the holidays we both took time off work to attend the class and very much looking forward to this. Despite the class being canceled, I still planned to reschedule the class at a later time. I called store- Sur La table, I got a woman on the phone who Directed me to call Customer Service. I did as instructed- I spoke to a representative explaining the class being canceled was not in my control, and asked if they can still honor the sale price for the same class. After over 30 min of back and forth. They denied the request. I asked to speak to a supervisor (who refused to get on the call). I'm very disappointed in the customer service, seems they don't care about the customer satisfaction. Highly unlikely that I will book anything in future as well. read more

The cooking class we took was so much fun. It was a great date night - would also be great to get a group of friends to go too. Our teacher/chef Jen was excellent. She walked us through each step and gave a ton of tips along the way. We were in groups of 4 so everyone took turns cooking. All the food we made was delicious. Afterwards you get 10% of anything in the store - and trust me you will want everything if you like to cook or bake! So many fun gadgets!! We will definitely be back for more classes! read more

I've been wanting to visit Sur La Table and do their cooking classes for FOREVER and was finally able to go and LOVED EVERY MINUTE! If you're looking for a date night that's different AND delicious, this is your spot! They are very well organized and have a menu that you will be preparing as a group with other people that are there for the Date Night as well. The chef (I cannot recall her name at the moment) was amazing and so friendly and helpful. She floated around to all of us to be sure that we felt supported and that we knew what we were doing. The coolest part... whenever we dirtied up a dish or a utensil, all we needed to do was put it to the side and someone picked it on up! How cool is that?! I wish we could take them home as I could use that service FOR SURE!! haha! The food we prepared was fresh and yummy and each step of the way we were guided in making the dinner for that evening. The time went by really fast and we even met some new friends who were in the group. Cooking and eating really brings great people together! Oh! Here's a great tip - be sure to build in enough time to go a few doors down in Hyde Park to get yourself a bottle (or 3) of wine to enjoy during your cooking experience! They allow you to bring in outside wine to enjoy and sip while you are cooking. Sur La Table also provides 20% discount on anything you purchase in the store the evening of the cooking class. All in all a fun and different experience and one everyone should try! read more

Horribly unprofessional retail experience that has made me rethink ever patronizing this storefront again. Sale associate was unapologetically the rudest person I have ever met in a upscale retail setting for no reason at all. After her snapping at me multiple times during a transaction I finally told her I did not want the item I was returning and didn't care about the refund I walked out and called to complain to the manager, at which point the manager defended sales persons irrational behavior and told me I was at fault according to other customers who "complained" about me being rude...? Weirdest complaint I have ever experienced and concerned that corporate is ok with this type of situation in their retail stores, maybe it's because employees are hard to find??? It's a shame because I used to love going to their cooking classes and par-oozing the shop after but will never be back again after this nightmare-y situation, beware, apparently I'm not the only one who has experienced their employees unhinged behavior :-/ read more
