I try not to get too deep into bad reviews but this one I have to only for the sake that the next person really can get a better experience than me. 1st we didn’t start the class on time. 2nd the chef said they were missing ingredients. 3 no beverages for a date night dinner? Weird right. 4th this class did not feel taught it was almost as if we were giving ingredients with a small summary of what to do and then if we had questions to ask. 5 everything we made was terrible could it have just been me? Nope everyone in the class agreed.6 we didn’t have the dessert that was planned because it couldn’t settle, and we didn’t even get to prepare it we were giving a small amount of ice cream that wasn’t even a potion size big enough for a child. 6th it was not food safe mixing raw chicken dishes with non-raw. This was my first cooking class, so I went into it with high expectations and left with the worse experience I’ve had in a while. The chef wasn’t rude or anything he just wasn’t teaching how the class should be taught. This glass was a gift from me to a friend who was in town for their birthday and for it to be almost $100 per person and we still had to get food after because everything was so bad. Definitely not a date night experience as advertised. Everyone in the class felt this way so it wasn’t just me. I do hope this location does better after reading this review because there is so much potential there. The staff on duty did take all 6 of the participants thoughts after the class and said that a manager (Amy I believe) would reach back out. It’s been 3 days, and I still haven’t heard anything. I normally don’t ask for refunds, but this class basically felt like I gave them $200 just to play in our face. I don’t know if I would even pay $50 per person for the class. I hope the manager reaches back out with an apology and a full refund not a store credit or gift card because if I could give this review a .2 of a star I really would and that’s not even who I am. Btw this was the Bethesda MD location. Last note, the class started late and ended almost a hour early.

Disappointed with the cooking class. 4 people to one portion of food. Waiting for 20 minutes before even starting. I regret not staying until the end only because now I don't feel fully justified in leaving a review. Outrageous cost for low quality ingredients.
The good parts, the chef was cool, the store merchandise looks great.

Went to a Thai cooking class. Very disorganized with minimal actual instruction. Instructor wasn’t good at leading a class and looked annoyed when people asked questions or tried to engage. Food ended up pretty mediocre too. It was all around disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend, especially for the price they charge.

Neat store with unique gifts and gadgets. Me and a friend took one of the cooking classes recently. It was really fun and the food we cooked was great. The only thing I could say negatively is that the Chef seemed preoccupied. He didn't ask about anyone's level of cooking experience or skill and didn't explain much of anything as he read instructions from a paper. Me and my friend aren't hard to please so we still had a good time.

This was worth the experience. The teaching Chef was completely disorganized and ingredients were left on the trays. It actually made me feel better as a cook. It’s like we watched them drop a ball, but the food still came out amazing!

Visited sur la table for their cooking class. Chef Latisha was great! However, it should be made clear that the classes are in groups of four and it was difficult to cook two dishes together. Chef Latisha guided us and gave us tips, but overall, would not go back because price for the whole experience was not worth it.

I came for a cooking class, and it was fun. I wish it was 2 people per station versus 4 to one. With it being 4, it was barely any work to do, and it was hard to evenly split duties. I'd even be willing to pay double to avoid that. I wish the class was a bit more challenging. But the food came out real good. Our chef was very helpful and gave us clear instructions. I would be interested in booking this as a private class with just my friends. I love the products in the store as well. The staff was very kind as well.

SO fun! I went to a Latin cuisine cooking class with a friend and we loved it! Chef Paula was kind, competent, and funny! Would recommend to anyone wanting to lean into your inner chef.

We went to a pasta cooking class here with a couple of friends. The food we made was so salty that we couldn’t eat it (the chef over salted the water). In addition we barely made any food and there were no appetizers or anything so we didn’t end up eating until 9pm.
Not worth the money.

Just had my Great British Bake Off themed Bachelorette Party at Sur La Table Rockville and loved every minute! Chef Karla was an amazing host and teacher! I for one will definitely be baking the Victoria sponge cake, toffee pudding, and sausage rolls again! I HIGHLY recommend taking a class with Chef Karla if you get a chance!

We had an awesome experience working with Tom, the knife guy! He knew everything about knives and even let us try them out with sweet potatoes. All the employees were wonderful as well.

Disappointing product quality & customer service.I purchased a pizza stone in November, and after just 2 uses, it completely cracked in half in the oven.I attempted to return the item in store, but no longer had the receipt. Sur La Table had an itemized record of the transaction, yet they refused to process a refund.This is very poor customer service.

The cooking tables are tight and you will cook with strangers. If you are looking for an experience where you cook with a date be aware of this.
