I got for my son and his girlfriend a cooking class of making cookies for the holidays. I was disappointed to hear they made their dough and then it went to the next class that was coming in for their cookies. They didn't have them roll out any dough or cook the cookies. I spent a lot of money for them to decorate cookies that were already made . I really thought the would have been measuring and rolling out the dough and cutting out cookies and baking them then decorating them. Is what I thought I bought. read more

I took a cooking class here and I'm leaving one star because the chef (Chef V) was not a good teacher and in fact missed a pivotal step that ruined everyone's macaroons. My mom and I took this class even though we have made macaroons at home many times. But we should have just made them at home and saved 200 bucks because the ones Chef V helped us make were a disaster. She made a mistake and forgot to tell us to put the sugar in with the eggs to make stiff peaks (a very important step) and when someone pointed out that there was sugar left her face dropped as she tried to look through her recipe and figure something else out. but frankly this should not be a 2 hour class you can not make macaroons in two hours considering you need to let them dry for 45 minutes and we let ours rest for 15 which was the real reason they were so sticky and raw. overall, my mom and I had fun laughing at them but not a good class to learn. do better if youre gonna charge $125. read more

Terry, one of your salespeople at your Hyde Park Tampa, store could not have been less helpful. He was very blase to say the least. When I asked him if a small garlic chopper was effective, he stated, "I don't know as I have never used it." He did not suggest another instrument as an alternative nor did he say anything additional such as, "I am sorry, I have not used one as of yet." I then purchased a gift certificate for $250 and a small kitchen utinsel and asked for a gift bag. he responded with, "All we have are cellophane bags." with little effort to retrieve one. Another associate presented one and proceeded to bag the items. I wanted to add a birthday card to the purchase and asked her to not close it. She then offered a black ribbon. Pkease note, Terry did not say thank you for the sale or smile! I would suggest some sales training for your team and ask them to put a smile on their faces and appear to be a bit gregarious! read more

My husband and I took our first cooking class and loved it, so we decided to book again. We booked a Thai class 2 months ahead scheduled for May 11th. Then a couple weeks ago I was looking for another class to book when I realized my scheduled Thai class had been change to a French class that I had no interest in. I checked my emails to see if I had missed a notification, but there was nothing. I called the store to find out why that class was cancelled. Was told if the classes don't fill up that can happen, except that it was still a month until the class and I was not notified. Asked if they could put us in another Thai class and was told no, I would have to call customer service for a refund, then rebook (didn't feel that was a very customer friendly process, but oh well). Called customer service, told them I was very disappointed and had been looking forward to that class. The future Thai classes that worked for my schedule had a different menu that wasn't as appealing. The agent apologized and issued a refund. I said that I felt some kind of credit to use towards a future class for the inconvenience would go a long ways. Was told customer service doesn't handle anything like that, but the store would be reaching out in 24-48 business hours. A week passed and did not hear from the store. Called customer service again; and at this point the agent opened a complaint and said he'd follow up. It's been another week and still no call from the store and no follow up from customer service. Guess I'm looking else where for cooking classes read more

This store is what dreams are made of! They have cute sections with themed kitchenware as well as the everyday Kitchen gadgets. What's even better is they offer AMAZING COOKING CLASSES! I had been eyeing the macaron class for quite some time and they ended up having one on Mother's Day, which was perfect! It is one of their more technical classes since they really are a science. I felt like I got a good idea of the issues that arise and the tips to avoid them so I can try to make them on my own. I also used my 10% off after the cooking class to get a perfect cake pedestal for a Royal Wedding watch party! read more

THIS IS A HORRIBLE PLACE. I was gifted a cooking class for bday and went with my husband. A lot of the ingredients were already prep. It was mostly chopping vegetables and stiring the pot. The real problem I had was how I was treated. Both my husband and I are black and were followed around the store by the white clerk. She kept asking to take our stuff. Which were two small items but didn't ask anyone else[even ppl with big items]. When we told her we were still looking and not ready, she got mad and still followed us around. During the cooking class, the coordinators put only two black couples next to each other. read more

Sur La Table has a mind-blowing assortment of kitchen paraphernalia. The products they stock are of high quality and a lot of them are for niche activities in the kitchen. It is fun to see what you might come across that you didn't realize you ever wanted! The store itself is large and its contents are varied. Pretty much anything you can need in the kitchen can be found here. They also generally stock quality made and higher end merchandise. I was glad to see they carry The Lodge brand cast iron pans because they are great and made in the U.S.! Sur La Table offers cooking classes--you can browse the class offerings on their website and sign up. Sur La Table is located right near Anthropologie in Hyde Park Village. It is best and closest access to park in the Hyde Park Village garage across from Irish 31/CineBistro. Definitely check out SLT if you're in the area or looking for some kitchen paraphernalia! :) read more

I took the Mexican Street Tacos cooking class today with my brother and it was awesome! Shout out to Chef John. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and showed us many knife techniques as well as the best fish grilling methods. There was plenty of food to go around and I really loved learning how to make my own corn tortillas from scratch. I don't know that I'll ever buy them again. :) This location has a smaller kitchen than some of the others I've been to, but they make it work. read more

So disappointed. I was so looking forward to surprising my wife with this class and learning to make an Indian dish. Instead we got to stand in the back watching the back of someones head. I would have gotten more out of a youtube video and saved $150. We actually walked out after 30 mins and went to Flames on Macdill. I don't think anyone ever noticed we left. Even if the class was sized properly, I don't see us going back. We arrived early and there was no acknowledgement that we were there. We just stood around wondering what to do. All the ingredients were already portioned and all in clear containers including the spices, which were all mixed into the same container. At the start, the instruction was to mix all this in the pan. Its indian food, it would have been nice to know what was being mixed. The spices and ingredients were just being dumped. Curry? Cumin? Was that coconut paste? I could tell what was what. I'm $150 lighter and I guess I'll have to find out another day and somewhere else. Im not sure if the portions are then split up between all the people, as we didn't stay to find out. But it wouldn't have been much by the time it got around to us. read more

Be very careful with their online classes. I signed up for a class, bought all the ingredients and never received the link to sign in. They charged me for it but multiple emails and phone calls late, I found out they cancelled the class without notifying me. They finally agreed to refund the money (although I haven't gotten it yet) but I'm still out for the stuff I bought for the class. I won't be doing that again. read more

Ordered some items from their website that were "Guaranteed delivery by Christmas". As of 12/29 and after several phone calls prior to Christmas, was told today that the order is scheduled to ship mid January. No adjustment offered or authorized except to cancel order for refund. Horrible customer service and false advertising! Do not recommend!! read more

Sur la Table is an all-in-one retail shop for a vast assortment of bakeware, barware, cookware, cutlery, electric cooking devices, kitchen gadgets, glassware, grilling tools, table linens, serving pieces, spices, sauces, table décor, and a whole lot more. This popular chain opened last Fall in Hyde Park, in the location on Dakota Avenue that was formerly the site of Restoration Hardware. Here, you'll find a better assortment of kitchen stuff than at your neighborhood Bed, Bath & Beyond, and the prices are much more user-friendly than shopping in Williams-Sonoma. The staff can give you a lot of helpful advice, and they had people offering a cup of coffee and handing out freshly-baked goods on the afternoon that I was there. I was in the market for a couple of kitchen gadgets (a new jar opener, some oven mitts, and a digital thermometer), and so I decided to stop in to the store on a recent trip to Hyde Park. Like most cooking stores, the selection is just mesmerizing, and you'll find yourself walking up and down the aisles thinking of all the cool ways that you could be using that new spatula, or whisk, or paella pan.... OK, and then there were these seriously adorable egg molds that would let you make two sunny-side up eggs in the shape of a cat's face. These are sooooo going on my birthday shopping list for Anna M. and Karen F. Sur la Table offers a nice knife sharpening service as well. If you bring in your kitchen knives, then they'll sharpen them on the spot, and likely have them back to you within a day. The price for this service was $5 per knife / cleaver, with the first blade free. Call them first to make sure that you understand all of the details. I was able to get five knives sharpened for $20, and they were ready within a few hours. In the back of the store is a private room which is used for cooking classes. I've heard mixed reactions about these classes, and so I've not signed up for one, preferring my other venue for culinary instruction. I can't say good or bad about the training, as I have not personally been to one of their classes. Other reviewers have commented that there's really not much actual cooking or cook prep, but rather dumping pre-cut items into a mixing bowl. If that is true, then I'll stay with my other option. Nonetheless, this is a great store to find all sorts of kitchen gadgets, and I encourage you to stop in the next time that you're wandering through Hyde Park. read more

A few of my girlfriends suggested doing a girls night here so we decided to try it. We had a fabulous experience. The staff was very friendly and hands on and they provided easy, simple and clear guidance in making your dishes. The cool thing is that your group can take turns so that everyone can participate. The allow you to bring your own WINE and that makes it that much better. The only suggestion I have is not to go super hungry into this. The portions are very small and they provided a bite size appetizer so just be sure to eat a light snack prior to attending. read more

I was given a cooking class as a gift for my husband and I to attend for a date night. I chose the Paris Bistro menu. We had a wonderful time. Our complaints were that it was hard to hear the chef when he was explaining cooking techniques, and that you are rushed to eat your dinner and dessert at the end so that they can clean up and prep for the next class. We probably would not pay for what you get, too pricey. But, the food was excellent and I am looking forward to entertaining at home using the recipes. read more

I ordered a pan for my MIL at the end of November in what I thought was plenty of time for it to come by Christmas. I contacted customer service a little more than a week before Christmas asking about the status of my order and never received any response but a few days later got an email that it shipped so assumed it got taken care of. After the tracking number not showing any movement for a week I emailed them again, again not receiving any answer. So I called their customer service after Christmas asking if they know why my order is not showing any movement and why it hasn't gotten here yet. The guy told me it should be there by "next week" it has now been almost two weeks since that call. I emailed them again and am hoping I can either get a refund or the pan sent now. Very very disappointed with their customer service! I will not be shopping there again! read more

I have now taken 4 classes at Sur and all I can say is I'm never disappointed! Each class has been so different and every time I get something great from class! How to use a knife? How to make a rue? What does it all mean?! Seriously though. Light hearted, educational and tasty! Today Chef Craig showed us some really simple but amazing "chef tricks". read more

My husband and children went to the Sur La Table in Hyde Park and had the most amazing experience! The store manager was amazingly helpful and personable and the staff were so kind!

Just an awful company to deal with. I ordered a Breville Pizzaiolo Oven and 5 days after ordering, the order is still processing. While I understand that we are currently living in crazy Corona times, Breville confirmed that they can ship and have it to me within 5-7 business days. I called Sur La Table to cancel my order and they cannot cancel it because it is due to ship in 5 days and I will have to accept the order and then return it. Seriously!!! Not good business practice in times where we don't want to overload delivery companies. Bad on me for not just accepting this order but I cannot support a company with awful business practices. I suggest you also shop elsewhere!!! Enough said. I am off to place my order with Breville directly. read more

We took a cooking class with Chef Kelly and it was just so much fun! They accommodated us so respectfully (we were about ten minutes late due to traffic). Due to covid, we were unfortunately not able to cook and dine in so they allowed us to take our food home and more than the usual servings (if we were to eat there). Everyone was also required to wear masks, wash hands and stay socially distanced! The associate, Jules, was the most helpful associate I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. She made sure we got into the cooking class (prior to booking). She is such a sweetheart and very kind and considerate! read more

Great date night! Very relaxed atmosphere with a great staff for their cooking classes! Made an amazing three course meal with chocolate ganache dessert. Would have enjoyed a few more details on temperature of cooking as all their stove tops are induction based and just have voltages written on them. read more

Sur La Table - Cooking Classes Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I made a reservation a month in advance, received a confirmation number at check only to be told my reservation failed but no notification of anything failing. At the time of making the reservation, I assumed I would receive a confirmation email and didn't write the order number down which is a requirement to check your reservation online. When calling the restaurant to confirm everything was all set, I was told I would have to contact customer service because they did not have me on the roster. The gentleman I spoke with was absolutely horrible. After calling and speaking with 3 different customer support reps, they were finally able to track down my reservation and stated the reservation failed but could not tell me why or how. I've been wanting to visit Sur La Table for years and at this point, I do not care to go at all. Their customer support sucks and their onsite staff seems to be even worse. I wish I would have caught the gentlemans name I spoke with on the phone because he actually ruined the entire experience for me. For the price of each cooking class, you'd think they would have decent staff. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Dream store for those who love being in the kitchen. I could have honestly spent hours in here just looking at everything---so much fun! Came in because I had read on their website that you can try the knives out before purchasing. My husband was looking to start his knife collection and I wanted him to be able to try them out to get a feel of what he liked best. He kept saying he wanted Shun but what do you know? Once he was able to try the knives out he picked out the Miyabi. Love that they let you test them out here! (Side note: it's been a few months and he still loves his Miyabi chef knife!) High quality assortment of pretty much anything you need in your kitchen. Even stuff that you didn't know you need or existed--they have that here! Peeked inside the back during their cooking class--looked like everyone was enjoying themselves. We only purchased the knife and a chef bag but I'm sure we will be back often, he was like a kid in a candy store here. read more

SO BAD! We placed an online order. TWO WEEKS later it was still being "processed". They refuse to answer emails! Even the retail store personnel explained that they too are placed on hold for over an hour whenever they call their own customer service people! This company has no clue as to how to do business online. Over a dozen emails later, we received the first reply which told us nothing. Stay away from ordering from Sur la Table if you want to receive your goods, they are terrible! read more

Sur la Table in Tampa is located inside of beautiful New Hyde Park. The store is equipped with every possible kitchen appliance, gadget, and culinary treat. This location also offers cooking classes 7-days per week. The menus vary throughout the month and you can schedule your session of choice online. They also host classes geared towards family cooking (with children) on the weekends too. Guests are allowed to bring their own wine and beverages; the cooking class provides a water station and your choice of coffees (cappuccino, lattes, espresso, and regular coffee) throughout the class. The sou chefs assist your team throughout the class and the main Chefs are extremely attentive too. It's a great event to attend as a single or with a group of friends, and it's definitely something fun to do on a date night. My group chose the Coastal Itallian meal which had Yellowtail snapper, kale salad, cauliflower, and panna cotta for desert. The portions are generous and you'll enjoy every minute of the class. Bon appetite! #surlatable #surlatablehydepark #surlatablecookingclass read more

Did the cooking class here and only 4 stars to manage other's expectations - we got super lucky to be a TINY class so each couple had their own workstation. Apparently they normally group up so only one person gets minimal hands on time. Chef and Sous chefs were fantastic. read more

As I read through the reviews, one thing was obvious, many of the participants did not pay attention when they signed up for the class. There are demonstrations, and there are "hands on" cooking classes. If you want to learn, choose hands on, because you actually get to do the cooking! I had a fantastic time at my first cooking class at Sur La Table in Hyde Park, Tampa. I am a personal chef, self taught, and wanted to expand my knowledge and skills by learning French Pastry. This class is hands on, not a demonstration. The class was small and intimate, Chef Amy Palmer not only taught us technique, but also gave us some great lessons on chemistry, and the why behind how the ingredients work and react together. We made profiteroles with vanilla bean pastry cream, fruit tartelettes and chocolate truffles. The end results were beautiful and delicious,. I was very proud to take them home to my family, and to post pics on social media! Thank Chef Amy! read more

Bad website, slow and unfriendly customer service. Disappointing.

I've been wanting to take a cooking class with my boyfriend for the longest, so jumped on the opportunity when his favorite meal was put on their class schedule. We took the brunch class, and it was alright... I'm not much a breakfast food person though. We made chicken sausage patties, pancakes, and Greek yogurt parfaits. My favorite were the pancakes. I wasn't too into the chicken sausage, but again I'm not a breakfast person. The instructor and her assistants were very helpful, and we were served complimentary coffee and a antipasti spread. After class we received a coupon for the store and a future class. Upon walking around the store we met (didn't catch his name) the Nespresso man, who was super friendly and informative... and makes and AMAZING iced coffee. We didn't buy the machine because my boyfriend forgot his wallet at home. Though we plan on picking one up on our next class :) read more

This store is very "exclusive" and by that I mean not inclusive. Very smooth and unfriendly employees.

Love this place. It is inspiring and I leave wanting to create a great feast. So many tools and gadgets.. Though I must admit the tofu maker was better in theory. I was so excited til I got home and opened the box and read all the processes & directions. One day, when I have some time to kill, I'll have to tackle that project. But seriously, this is a great place and I hope they make it in this location. Of course the prices aren't cheap here. Don't come expecting great deals. Though they do have sales. Tip: they have cooking classes. Check out the calendar online. I look forward to trying one. (Suggestion for them: pricing for the classes are a little on the high end. Maybe offer a package deal? Also, maybe one more vegetarian friendly option a month?) read more

I placed an order and was charged twice. I got an email that they accepted that they double charged me and would refund the money. I have been trying for a few months to get my money refunded, but I guess a bankrupt company isn't inclined to refund money. I finally charged them with fraud with my credit card company. Please don't use them. They have way too many issues. You have no idea what you will get, If you will get it, or what you will be charged. read more
