Sur La Table

"The food was great but I don’t think this experience should be called a cooking class. The only “cooking” we did was chopping up vegetables and searing chicken thighs. Everything else including the dessert and salad was made by the chefs. In the end the food was good, but I didn’t learn or get any tips that would make my cooking better."

"We purchased 3 sets of the Salt and Pepper ratchet sets because they are wonderful. One of the salt ratchet shakers was broken and spilling salt all over our counter. My girlfriend went to the store in Boca to exchange it and had an absolutely horrible experience. The man behind the counter must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed or should not be in retail. He was nasty and uncooperative. With a very uncomfortable back and forth happening, someone else that worked there intervened and did the exchange. Unacceptable treatment and I only wish I had been there. It would have been a very different situation. I also wish we had a name. But you know who you are. We love the cooking classes there and their product,s but they need to get their act together with regards to the customer experience."

"The store is nice, but the cooking class experience with the Thai chef I did not like. I love taking cooking classes, for many years I have been taking them in many places and in a few different countries. This was the first time I made it and I didn't receive the recipe right away, I like to have it on hand so I can see what's written before I start and be able to take some notes. The chef, sometimes, spoke from the other side of the room and many times I didn't understand what to do and I got lost. When we asked one of his helpers to explain to us what he had told us to do, he came to complain to her and we were still lost with the pan on the fire. I think even the other group was lost, because they put all the dressing in the salad, which ended up looking like a soup. I don't like a lot of hot pepper in my food so I put very little in my sauce, but they take what we are preparing and put it on another table and then they don't know which group it is. When it's time to eat what we've done there's nothing to sit on. For the amount I paid you'd expect a great experience."

"A boutique shop for kitchen things. Many items that not found at other shops, but often at the higher price point. They offer cooking experiences, but often have no availability for weeks. It’s too bad they cannot figure out a way to have short cooking experiences that people can just stop in for - much like a wine tasting. The kitchen/cooking space seems under-utilized. (They should talk to me, I have ideas.)"

"I went to to a 5 day baking course and it was not good. We all had to share a mixer and just wait for one another. It’s not worth the money for just sitting around waiting. Since it’s a class you should get to do it by yourself and for the money it’s not worth it. The chefs were nice but bearly explained. Also it was quite boring."
