Sur La Table

Not the «Date Night Dinner in Tuscany» (no mention of Italy or Italian cooking at any time) we had anticipated although the recipes and the resulting dishes were very good!

We hosted a bachelorette party cooking class here and our head chef was Skyler. The event was absolutely perfect and she was a joy to work with. Everything was well organized throughout the whole evening and a beautiful beverage station was set up before I arrived. Of course our main priority was mingling and having fun and the cooking was secondary to us, but the food was excellent too. Skyler was very knowledgeable and included plenty of helpful tips. I highly recommend private events here and would definitely do it again!

We had such a great time in our cooking class at Sur La Table. I attended the cooking class with the Board of Directors from the REALTOR Association. Annually we pick an activity that will be fun and team building. This year it was Sur La Table and the effect was perfect!
The chef in charge, Skylar, had so much personality and really wanted us to learn about our dishes. She kept us on track and taught us all new tricks. For example, I didn’t know that you are suppose to ‘pinch’ the knife with your thumb and pointer on the blade then grab the handle with your back four fingers. That is the proper technique in order to have complete control over the knife.
We also learned about Spanish paprika, pimenton, which comes either sweet or spicy. The favorite item for me that we made were bacon wrapped dates. What I liked is that we stuffed them with blue cheese and a marcona almond! they were the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
They had everything ready and laid out for our group to arrive. The utensils and ingredients were well organized and the kitchen itself was spotless, too. The storefront was stock full of every cooking item that you could imagine. Overall, a great experience!

Really NICE people here! I hate a pretentious store (and I’ve been in snooty Sur La Table’s before — hello, Newport Beach!), and this is NOT a pretentious store. The people who work here are friendly and service oriented. Definitely will be back. We did a cooking class for date night — and totally screwed it up. We got the time wrong and showed up late. Rather than making us miss half the class, we moved to a different class the next day. We had a great time. They are knowledgeable, the classes are hands-​on, and you get a serving (per person) of the food you prepared. The only downside (and it’s minor) is that for a foodie like me, you’re not likely to learn much. However, I’ve watched a TON of food TV and cook a LOT myself. I won’t let that stop me from taking another class for date night! :-) It’s that much fun!

Went here to return a coffee machine that routinely left large coffee grounds in my coffee. The model was Capresso personal coffee maker. This problem was so bad that I had to filter my coffee, separately as another step, once it had been made. Obvious this became quite a hassle especially on busy mornings. When I brought the coffee maker back to the store I received a bunch of attitude from the clerk — I definitely will not shop here anymore since customer satisfaction is apparently not a priority.

I was looking silpats and found them along with some great service. I think Matt and Cynthia were the names of the people there. They were friendly and helpful. Matt had a lot of chef experience and knew his way around the knives which I appreciate. I will be back regularly!

Terrible service, not to be mean, nor get personal, but the «sales» people at this location are completely incompetent, and just plain lazy.
My wife and I went in, and wanted to by a complete set of La Crueset dinnerware, and also wanted to add some matching cereal bowls. Not that it matters, but the total purchase was going to be about $ 400-​$ 500. We needed just a couple more bowls that weren’t on the shelf. I had to go to 3 different employees, before one would reluctantly help. Then had explain to her that the cereal bowls were not part of the set.
Employees just stand around, then if forced to help, do so begrudgingly, and even then really don’t know what they’re doing. Too bad, it’s a great store, but with that kind if service your better served shopping for the same stuff elsewhere.

This place sucks. If you really need kitchen ware and want service that’s fast and people that are competent go to the Peppercorn. The attendant that just serviced us let another woman cut us in line and then proceeded to chat with her for five minutes. Also, there are never enough people there working to help you. You always have to wait forever even to ask a question.

Smallish space but just packed. I have found some things here that I had not found elsewhere, and sometimes that little niche in coffee makers or toaster ovens will fill the bill. Some staff are really friendly, others, a little stand-​offish. But they seem well informed.

This store is so hit and miss thar it deserves 1 star. Since I’m a professional chef I happen to stop by here often for work items. When I’m dressed in a chef uniform with a shines credit card, they treat me like a rock star. If I go in dressed in civilian clothes, they could care less. Just today we went to look at a food processor, we asked «Metta» for some help, she seemed annoyed to be asked for help. Long story short, we read a review on the unit we thought we wanted and decided not to get it. Then another «salesperson» tried to sell me a $ 200 handheld blender with a few attachments. Not what we were looking for, then I mentioned I saw a similar item that I saw online at «Walmart» and she pretty much ran away to another couple to help them. So unless you come with hundred dollar bills hanging out of your pocket, don’t expect too much help.

So happy that Sur La Table opened a location in Boulder! I could literally spend hours & hundreds of dollars in this store. I think it is a good fit for Boulder, and the sales associates who work there are super nice. I’m a fan for sure. Will return on future trips to Boulder :)

The first time I visited was to get my knives sharpened. I had a wonderful experience. The service I received was excellent. I went back a week later to get more knives sharpened and the service was terrible. I brought in a serrated knife which their advertisements said they sharpened. The person who helped me was VERY uncomfortable with sharpening a serrated knife. She first told me that they didn’t sharpen them and after I showed her the advertisement she remembered that they did.
At this point I’m very concerned. My knives are very expensive and I didn’t know what would happen if they did a bad job. The person asked a co-​worker and then another show in order to find out how to sharpen a serrated knife.
I made the mistake of asking them if they sold the flammable gel for fondue sets. They didn’t know if they had it or not so they finally directed me to McGuckin’s. I should have gone there the first place and sharpened my knives at home.
I’ll probably revisit this location since there’s no Williams Sonoma in Boulder, but I won’t go back to get a service performed.

The newest everything store for the home chef to the professional and everyone in between. Cooking classes in a gorgeous studio space!!! So exciting to have this wonderful chain open in Boulder!
