Here is how my conversation went with an employee over the phone on Sunday, January 12, 2025: Me: I am calling to learn about purchasing a Nespresso machine, milk frother, and pods. Her (nastily): We don't carry the pods. Me: Can you tell me what machines you have in stock? Her (again, nasty): I have no idea. Me: Would you find out? Her (resentful): I would have to go to the stockroom. Me: Yes, that's your job. Her: Click. (She hung up on me.) I called back, but they did not answer the phone twice. The third time, I got through and asked to speak to a manager. The manager argued with me and claimed the call was disconnected while I was on hold. That was a blatant lie; the employee never said she was putting me on hold; she just hung up. I told the manager I would never set foot in the store again, and I won't. Sadly, she did not seem to care one whit. read more

I came here for a cooking class with some of my friends on a Sunday afternoon. The teacher was great and personable.

Attend a Date Night: French Luxury cooking class and it was great! The instructor was kind and the instructions were easy to follow. Not a ton of cooking really involved, as the tasks were split between the six of us attending the class as well and the instructor. The food was absolutely incredible though and we got an instruction booklet to take home so I will definitely be trying my hand and preparing all of the dishes on my own. Scallops and risotto with and AMAZING sauce (I am still dreaming of that sauce), finished off with a cherry clafoutis and homemade whipped cream for dessert. Yum! Every class participant got a coupon to spend in the store afterward as well. The class was pricey for sure though, so definitely more of a treat. read more

Some of the cutest items ever! This is my go to for wedding shower gifts especially at Eton. The staff is always helpful and so quick, I'm in and out with just what I need. The store is so nice inside too! read more

great location and very convenient, parking is a little busy but the store is nice and big and you can spend a good hour just looking at high-quality items. the people that work here are very friendly. I'm a member but I can't remember what I get I don't think I've really earned anything yet or ever but...I'm a member. It's pricey yes but it is real high-quality kitchen items, cooking items, baking items, chef quality knives and cooking utensils, espresso makers, coffee makers, etc. read more

We attended a Date Night cooking class at Sur la Table last night and had a blast. The evening started with cheese and cracker appetizers laid out before the event began. I wish we had known ahead of time- but you can bring in your own wine/beer to enjoy during class. They have wine openers and wine glasses available as well. If you're going to attend a class, I would recommend planning ahead if you'd like to enjoy a beverage during class. Another tip- if you need any kitchen items, taking a class grants you a 10% off coupon good for everything in the store. We had an opportunity to show during a small break in the class (between cooking and eating) and at the conclusion of class. The rest of the time was spent cooking in both a large group and in two smaller groups. There wasn't a ton of things to do for each person since it was a collaborative cooking experience, but we hit it off with others in the class and enjoyed their company during the cooking process. The class description indicates that each participant will enjoy a taste of each dish- but I have to say, it was much more like a well portioned meal. Don't expect huge restaurant portions, but more like the suggested serving size that most of us ignore! The instructor, Rachel, was snarky and sarcastic- I think some found her abrasive, but I thought she was funny. The classes are pricey, but they are a ton of fun if you're looking for something different and potentially out of your comfort zone. My husband and I received this class as a gift as did another couple at our table. Gift certificates for classes are an awesome gift! read more

I talked to the manager about my issues. She resolved my issues and treated me like valued customer.

Paella, Kale Salad, and Crema Catalana! I attended a Spanish themed cooking class at Sur La Table last night and had a ball. When we arrived, each of us received the recipes for the evening along with an apron. They had all of the ingredients measured and prepped and a cheese plate ready to go. A few students in the class brought a bottle of wine which they opened and enjoyed while we cooked. The chef and assistant for the evening divided us into two groups, and each of us prepared our dinner for the evening. The family style cooking experience was enjoyable as we chatted while we diced our veggies. Chef Rachel was very knowledgable and kept a close eye on us throughout while injecting the conversation with a snarky sense of humor. She taught us proper knife skills and answered all of our questions. At he end of the knife, we enjoyed the three course meal that we prepared. Everything was delicious (especially the Crema Catalana - essentially a Spanish creme brûlée) and there was plenty of food to go around. read more

Sur La Table - Paella from the Spanish Dinner cooking class! - Kitchen Supplies Near Me - Woodmere, Ohio

I recently took my boyfriend to Sur La Table to attend a cooking class for his birthday but what it turned out to be was a $120 demonstration. The chef started 15-20 minutes late. In the class description, it said we would be split up into teams of 4 to create the meal but that didn't happen. We were not able to taste or do anything ourselves, the dozen people in my class had to gather around the front table and and observe for 2.5 hours. The chef was unaware how to use the insta-pot to make the southern BBQ ribs that the class was based on, making it difficult to learn (considering 11/12 people in our class did not own an insta-pot). We were also so short on time that we were not able to see how they made our dessert - two other assistants just made them in the background. In the class instructions, it was also not listed that we bring our own drinks. Silly me for assuming a class that expensive would have something for us to drink. Everyone in my class had to choke down the dry BBQ ribs and mac and cheese with nothing to drink. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was. I essentially paid $120 for an unsatisfactory meal that we weren't even able to cook ourselves. I'm not sure that this is how each class is normally run but I will not be paying that amount again to find out. read more

If you love cooking or anything related, this is the place for you. My son and I recently went to go and pick up some new knives--which by the way, they have an exceptional selection. Additionally, we decided to try out a cooking class--we did the Let's Make Croissants. All I have to say is that it was amazing and we had so much fun. The cost of the class was 59 for each one of us and we had a 2.5 hour of hands on baking and testing and then eating. Not to mention how great to was to be with like minded people who wanted to bake and cook. I highly recommend doing any of their cooking classes as they are worth it and oh, so fun. Also, and as for the merchandise we purchased, the experience was great and everyone there is super nice and the store is simply perfect. read more

I absolutely adore this store. When I shop here, I get giddy like a pubescent teen fawning over the the latest Hollywood starlet. Sur La Table is basically Mecca for food geeks. Some people enjoy shopping in eclectic vintage stores for clothing and nicknack's while others can spend hours on end at indie record stores hunting for that one special vinyl. Me? I get my shopping fix browsing at kitchen gear. Sur La Table really has it all. Any piece of cutlery, bakeware, cookware, kitchen tools, bar tools and electronic gadgets that you could imagine. You name it, Sur La Table probably has it. It's like a more realistic and approachable Williams Sonoma. Sur La Table sells an assortment of brands and from various price ranges. Splurge on an All-Clad Copper-Core 10 piece set or save money by going with an alternative stainless set from a less expensive competitor. Dreaming of that elusive colbalt blue 7-1/4 quart Le Creuset French oven? They have all shapes, sizes and colors here to ogle at. Do you envy the way Sushi chefs cleanly slice through raw fish like warm butter with no effort whatsoever? They have plenty of gorgeous Japanese steel here. Want just as good of a brand, but at a fraction of the cost? They also carry Global and Forschner by Victorinox. I have spent plenty of money at Sur La Table in the past and come back to visit quite often. I like wandering around the store, dreaming of outfitting my dream kitchen or for the time being, picking up the latest utensil I just have to have in my arsenal. For me, there is no better place in the area to satisfy that need than Sur La Table. read more

Knife sharpening is not done by hand, but using an electric sharpener. I was not notified of this beforehand. My expensive Wustof knives now cut worse than they did before being "sharpened." I called to inquire and they said to bring my knives back to be "run through" the sharpener again. Considering the website mentioned a sharpening expert, I did not anticipate an electric sharpener would be used. Expected more from Sur La Table and will be advising others to never come here for knife sharpening services. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Chef Kimberly and the secrets of healthy cooking. The class was small and the tips were insightful. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp salad... I never considered honey as a way to make salad dressing less salty. This class is great for weather you are a beginner or advanced in the kitchen. read more

Sur La Table - Bob the Raptor Says "I made kale salad and shrimp prey!!!" - Kitchen Supplies Near Me - Woodmere, Ohio

I got a Christmas gift that was damaged. My husband and I returned to the store today for a replacement and the staff could not have been more helpful! The manager even remembered my son calling in on Christmas Eve to see if he had time to return it then. Both she and our sales girl, Celina Ryan-Black, helped us replace the item, as well as purchase 2 other items (one had to be ordered, so Celina took care of that too!). Thank you both such gor the great experience! You are proof that hood service still exists!! read more

Now, Sur La Table is a new concept for me, I had never heard of it prior to moving into Cleveland. So when I got here and needed to stock up my kitchen I headed over to Williams-Sonoma. I love cooking in Le Creuset and was underwhelmed with the offerings at a couple of their stores in the area so I finally asked one of the sales associates if there was another store in the city that sold them. She thought about it for a moment and then pointed me in the direction of Sur La Table. The moment I walked in the door and saw the shelves piled high with every type of kitchen implement imaginable, I knew Williams-Sonoma had lost a customer! Every time I come in this store, I walk out with some new baking item, it's very hard for me to resist grabbing something new to take home and try out. In fact, I think my breaking point has almost been reached since my poor little kitchen can't really hold that much more....but I'm sure I could find room for that candy thermometer....and the madeline pan.....oh and I could probably squeeze in a baking stone for my bread too (haven't looked to see if they actually carry these but I wouldn't be surprised!). I bought one sauce pan from the Sur La Table line, and I must say that it has served me well. Nice design, good heat distribution and works well for everything from gravy to chocolate....best thing about it? Cheap! I like to save money when I can and their own line allows you to do that with ease, it's more realistic than customers going and buying the copper-clad pots at Williams-Sonoma....I don't even want to look at some of those price tags, Yikes! If you like cooking or baking, be sure to make this a destination for some jaw-dropping browsing, if you don't walk out of the store with something in your hands, you'll definitely walk out with some new ideas for your time in the kitchen. -1 star only because I'm not a huge fan of their dinnerware section....if you're going to have plates and glasses, do it right or just get rid of it. read more

This place is pretty great- I love the cooking classes here. Zach is an amazing teacher! They have a wide variety of classes available.

Chances are you love to cook or bake or you wouldn't be in this store. They have a great selection of linens, glassware, grilling accessories, baking items, sauces, mixes, pots, pans and gadgets galore. I am a gadget girl and could hang out all day here. The staff is very knowledgable and helpful. My brother says this place makes Williams Sonoma look like Walmart! Kinda true! I recently took a much needed (and deserved) cooking class. It was fantastic! It was a Thai cooking class and we made spring rolls with peanut sauce, shrimp and tofu pad thai, cucumber salad with fillet and sticky rice with mango and coconut ice cream. It was amazing and I learned so much! Feel free to grab drinks at Trader Joes and be prepared to make a wonderful meal. You get a 10% off coupon good for a month that can be used over & over and can even be used for another class! I am on the waiting list for a class tonight- Brazilian date night! read more

You would have be pretty involved in the preparation of food to fully appreciate the awesomeness of this store! They have so much good stuff inside! It's paradise! I've purchased everything from egg pouchers, to kitchen scissors, to spatulas from this store! Although their items tend to be on the more expensive side, their kitchen tools are much more durable. For instance, I've purchased cheap spatulas (see my review for Dave's Supermarket dated Feb 24, 2012), and I've used average brands (e.g. OXO, purchased from Amazon.com). Used daily, the cheap spatula lasted roughly 2 weeks. The few OXO spatulas lasted between 8-10 months. In contrast, the spatula I purchased here, I've used for over a year and a half. I was so impressed, I got a second one for my mom! The quality easily justifies the price tag and I'm very happy to be cooking with their kitchenware! read more

Massive gadget/appliance selection and massive price tags to go along with them. But, I will admit, I wanted one of everything when I was walking around in there. I was convinced my kitchen was lacking. I did end up buying quite a few items, mainly because I just couldn't leave empty handed with such polite sales associates helping me. I will be going back, but only if there's a great sale. read more

Looking for some incredibly specific and overpriced kitchen gadget? Sur La Table is your best chance of finding it. Whether you need a ceramic ginger grater, a battery-powered pepper mill, or just a new knife, it's probably hiding somewhere in amongst the jumbles of kitchen implements here. It's lots of fun to browse, but if you're in a hurry, it's best to ask one of the staff to help you find whatever you're looking for--otherwise, you could easily waste a half hour. Luckily, most of the employees seem fairly knowledgable about what's in stock and which fondue pot it's hiding behind. Compared to the Williams Sonoma over at La Place in Beachwood, Sur La Table has a better selection, better prices, and better staff. Still, I'll generally stop here only if I'm in need of something quickly or just feel like looking around. If you can wait a few days, it's almost always a good bit less expensive to order whatever you need from Amazon or some other online retailer. read more

Every time I go in I always find something to buy. The staff has always either greeted me or acknowledged me. If I had a question they either answered it right away or I waited my turn for an associate. They charge top price for their products but the products are top class. In the back of the store they do have a small clearance section. I received a Kitchen Aid item bought at this store and did not have the recepit. After explaining that I used it once then leaked (the antifreeze in the ice cream maker) they exchanged it for me with out any hassels. The only thing I hate about the place is the parking. Its in a busy shopping plaza with Trader joe's and other stores and parking can be really hard to find at certain times of the day. read more

I mean, it's a chain store and all, and in probably the bourgiest shopping center in all of Northeast Ohio, but I really do like Sur La Table. It has your standard run-of-the-mill kitchen gadgets, a nice, drool-worthy selection of Le Creuset items, and some pretty basic decorative pieces. Their prices tend to be surprisingly affordable, too -- not deep discount, bargain basement, but affordable and realistically accessible for the everyday home cook (like me). I find it a lot less off-putting than Williams-Sonoma, perhaps because the salespeople tend to leave you alone here. read more

Regarding the Cooking Class "Mastering Seafood" with Chef Sallie Ferlotti. I'm now hooked on their cooking classes and will for sure be back for more From 6-8:30 and a little beyond we got hands on practice in groups of 4 of 5 cooking: - Seared Scallops w/ Tarragon Butter Sauce - Grilled Salmon and Arugula Salad with Orange and Shaved Fennel - Seafood Saffron Broth (Bouillabaisse) - Pan-roasted tilapia with capers and meyer lemon We got a hand out on all that we covered to take with us and a 10% in-store coupon on anything, including sale items. From all the food we made there was plenty for each person to sample everything that was cooked - I didn't eat dinner and was full when I left. There is a Trader Joes next door as well so if you want you can go buy wine next door and bring it over to drink during class. Chef Ferlotti was amazing! Her personality was wonderful; she was wonderful to work with and be around. Nothing seemed to frazzle her and she answered on and off topic questions knowledgeable and pleasantly. I will definitely look her up on the schedule when I go to sign up for my next class. She was assisted by one other and the director the cooking class program was also there. Check the website for class listings, menus and chef assignments. read more

So excited to see my favorite store back in action! I've been in a few times for the retail and have not been disappointed in the covid experience at all. I saw yesterday that they are bringing back cooking classes which really excited me! Can't wait to sign up for one and see how the experience compares to my last one in February! Love this store and the staff! Christine the manager and Mark the chef are both very friendly. read more

WHAT A FUN STORE. If you need a kitchen gadget, and you can't find it here... IT DOES NOT EXIST. Now true, this store breaks a lot of Alton Brown's rules (of which, I'm honestly an advocate) no uni-tasking devices!. But honestly, it's so much fun browsing through here! What a great place to get gifts for the cook in your life! Or, for yourself, for that matter! My friend and I have played the game of "guess the gadget" prior to reading the label. Lots of fun in this store. While we were there, there was a cooking demonstration/class being held. it seemed like a cool class, with good information. I kind of milled around right over there, eavesdropping. read more

My girl and I went to the class where they were making French croissants. The chef was very knowledgeable to help us succeed in making these. After being in Paris and eating the real thing, you would want to know how they make them also because they are very tasty when done right! the class was 3 hours long, so make sure you have a good attention span. They also offer many other types of classes depending what you are looking for, this might be the place to get you some kitchen skills at home. read more

Honeslty--I've never written a review before..but my experience and the amount of money I wasted has pushed me to do this. We took a "couples" cooking class at Sur La Table and it was the WORST experience. The chef was unfriendly and it seemed like this was the last place he wanted to be. It was called "cooking for couples" BUT they split you up into groups of four and each group did a part of the meal. While the people next to us did lobster bisque...my group melted chocolate for the desert. So we paid 75 bucks a person to melt chocolate. We didn't learn anything.. The only saving grace was that you could bring wine. To add insult to injury..while the food was cooking the chef goes "ok..now go buy stuff in our store". So for Christmas I got my husband a night out melting chocolate followed by browsing an expensive cooking store. I'm NOT a hater or a complainer..I was just so dissapointed I had to warn others! read more

Attended a cooking class on Grilling secrets. The class wasn't that focused on grilling...in fact it was more focused on using grill pans. The recipes we made were delicious..no doubt about that. But compared to past Viking cooking school classes, Sur La table could improve their cooking class experience by 1) giving students a branded apron (it was a generic, all-white apron) and 2) using actually grills and/or educating students on more grilling techniques...I.e. Charcoal, direct vs indirect, etc. Nonetheless, the instructor Michael was very knowledgeable and made it fun. read more

This is located at Eaton in Woodmere right next to Trader Joe's. I love this kitchen store, it's a bit high end but not exorbitant-high-end like Williams-Sonoma. You'll find whatever you need here whether you cook a little or a lot. I spied some cooking lessons going on too. read more

Stopped in on Friday just before 1900. No one in sight. Finally found a person to ask where something was. I hate the sigh, the eye roll and reluctantly leading us to spend $50. We would have been better off taking our stuff and walking out. When we finally found someone the other invisible employee came up and asked to take her break. I hope that back room is spotless because the customers were just in the way. The other person would have spent a some $ but the experience was so unpleasant I just wanted to leave! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Chef Zach Gray! He was so knowledgeable, but also made the class fun and down to earth. I'm not a very experienced baker and he put me at ease immediately. It's my first time taking any sort of cooking class and I loved it! I would definitely recommend a Sur La Table class, especially with Zach! read more

Terrible experience with the kids cooking class. Description claimed it was a two hour class where we would make cupcakes Rice Krispy treats and cookies. WE didn't make anything all we got to do was decorate the stuff they had already premade. The staff was rude and when my son burnt himself on a hot pan they put right in front of him they ignored it not even offering a first aid kit. It was a kids class! Then our cookies were burnt the cupcakes are like rocks and the class was over in less than an hour. Do not suggest anyone pay that much to decorate premade crap. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love cool kitchen stores like Sur La Table, Williams Sonoma, and Crate & Barrel. But this particular Sur La Table is as low as it can get in terms of customer service. Each time I visited this store, I was always left feeling somewhat upset and disappointed because of the people who work there. The clerks are condescending, rude and unfriendly. And they have no problem thinking that the busier they get, that they can treat you even more rudely. If you think you will get any helpful, friendly answers back to your questions, forget it. For instance, I was shopping for a spatula, and asked one of the clerks which one she would recommend. She practically barked back at me with "oh hon, that's your personal preference." Helpful much? And "oh Hun?" More recently, I called the store to ask if they had a particular item in stock. Instead of taking less than a minute to check their inventory, I was put on hold more than four times by a couple of clerks, and one of whom (Nancy) rudely hung up on me while I was asking her to put it on hold. She literally hung up on me while I was still talking!! When I called back and made it clear that I was not happy that she hung up on me, she did not bother apologizing or changing her attitude. Other workers there are all similar in their rudeness and bad attitudes. Sure, Sur La Table has tons of cool kitchen things, but this is not the only kitchen store around here. I'd rather spend my money else where, because when I shop, I expect friendly service, rather than being hung up on, barked at, or being sarcastically "oh Hun"-ed at. read more

While the people running our cooking class did their best and were fun and friendly, they were not equipped by Sur la Table to succeed. Apparently the recipe we were following for one of the items on the menu, had not worked the 4 other times they'd held this particular class. And, as predicted, the recipe didn't work in our class either. They even had store-bought back-ups of this item on hand, knowing their Sur la Table corporate recipe wouldn't work. Several of the people in my class, including myself, had taken the class specifically to learn how to make this item, so that was pretty frustrating. We also didn't have the right instructor for the class. That person couldn't be there, so a pastry chef led the class. She was nice and like I said, she really did her best, but what we were making was not her area of expertise so she wasn't able to teach us a lot about it. I will say, the food we made (except for the failed item) was delicious. But overall, we were disappointed by the class experience and felt it wasn't worth the price. read more
