I would definitely come back to try another one of their classes.

Beware of this place. My wife and daughter took an airbrush class from them. After the class, they…read morebought a $130 airbrush kit. They took it home and attempted to use it. It had low airflow and the on/off switch on the compressor didn't work. Being unable to airbrush with it, they took it back to exchange it. They were told there are no refunds and no exchanges. My wife asked what they could do and they said she could go to a sister location to see if some one may be able to fix it. Considering this kit was overpriced to begin with, I would have assumed we would have received some decent customer service. I'm not complaining about their prices, we're all about supporting small business's, but I can buy one for less than half from Amazon and they would exchange it if it wasn't working.

My husband and I took the pasta making class taught by Nicole at Gourmage in New Braunfels. The…read moreclass was informative and fun. We loved working together to make a delicious herbed fettuccine. I feel like we learned everything we need to know to be able to replicate the dish at home. I also loved the location. We enjoyed a nice glass of Cabernet from Gourmage while we cooked, and while we ate the pasta we created. Nicole and Stephanie made the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. I can't wait to do another class there.

She managed to do this with limited space and I must say, we had an enjoyable time working together! Thanks, Chef Nicole!

I have followed Assemble Cocktail Workshop on Instagram and have always thought it looked super…read morefun, so when a friend wanted to do a private party for her birthday - it was a no brainer! We arrived a bit early and Lillian quickly whipped us up a welcome cocktail which she called "A Walk in the Garden". It was a prosecco based cocktail and absolutely delicious (and pretty). While we enjoyed this cocktail and looked around the shop... she prepared the workshop space for the lesson. The birthday girl had been given a list of cocktails in advance and was able to select the ones she wanted to learn how to make (she selected the Blackberry Smash & Bee's Knees). One thing I loved about this class is that Lillian gave options with each cocktail so that everyone would end up with a drink they loved. For example, if you don't like bourbon which is typically in a Bee's Knees... you could use gin instead! Then we had the options to make it spicy/sweet/herbal/ etc. By the end of the class... we all had different and personalized cocktails. In addition to the cocktails, Lillian prepared a large bowl of popcorn with specialty seasonings and showed us some of the fun tools that can be used for different prep methods. We also had downtime between making each drink to enjoy them and chat amongst ourselves. This class made for the perfect outing... we're already talking about doing another for the next girl's weekend. I cannot recommend this class enough and will absolutely be back!

What's not to love about making delicious and fun cocktails with friends?!…read more Lillian's cocktail workshops are a great interactive activity for anyone who is looking to up their cocktail game. I was doing a birthday weekend with friends in Boerne and came across Assemble Cocktail via Visit Boerne. I booked a private Tiki session for 7 of us and it was the perfect way to celebrate with friends. If there's only one or two of you, you can book an open session that's available. We made Mai Tais and Painkillers - both were delicious. Since I had a couple of folks who were preggo, I notified Lillian and she made sure to have two setups with zero-proof "spirits." Lillian was a great teacher and host. She has aprons and leis so the vibes were perfect. The location is a cute bungalow tucked behind another business on Main Street (kind of easy to miss if you're looking for it right on Main Street). The business started at the beginning of the year, so it's fairly new, but add it to your list of things to do if you're in the Boerne area!

I'm sad I was so busy enjoying the food that we forgot to take pics! We are an older foodie bunch, all whom have hosted with private chefs before and this one did not disappoint any of us! I asked for unique items (i.e. something I don't usually have or can cook myself) and Chef Nic sent me suggestions to choose from. We ended up with a 5-course meal which was way too much food, so afterwards we asked, "What course would we have skipped?" and couldn't decide! Chef brought most of the food prepared enough for ease of cooking and serving, and brought it all out in surprisingly even serving times. The chef immaculately clean-up my kitchen and even started the dishwasher. We highly recommend Chef Nic and Gather & Forge.

Lord help you if you want to do an EVEN EXCHANGE for a defective Sur La Table product. Tried to…read moreexchange out a $50 apron that wasn't even used, the pocket was ripping off. Still had tags and everything attached. Nope need a receipt for an even exchange. Look up account I used when I purchased. Nope doesn't exist. Call corporate, found account, we will request a receipt for you. Great! Tell me location, exact date, exact total. I need the receipt for the exact total. Oh well we can't find the receipt if you can't provide the exact total. All for an EVEN EXCHANGE!!!! What store doesn't do even exchanges without a reciept??!! TL/DR: always keep your receipts cause even with their name on the product they won't exchange anything.

We did have a faux pas as we did not realize that a paid adult had to accompany him. Kudos to the staff for giving us a hall pass and allowing junior to attend the class with us standing off to the side. He had a blast preparing dishes with his three teammates, making fresh pasta for the linguine and clam sauce, and even a desert pizza. The class was well organized and the chef instructor and assistants made sure everyone's dish was prepared and cooked to perfection. I did get a chance to sample the pasta course and it was excellent. This is a great date/family night, or Corp outing experience. Do take some time to browse the store. Sur La Table has high end kitchenware and cooking tools. So, why not a 5-star review? Well half way through the class we were informed that only one of us could be in the class area. The message could have been communicated to us a tad for professionally and customer friendly. They did accommodate us earlier so I left and got to have a beer and watch the NBA finals game for a bit.
