    We enjoyed a lovely dinner out during the stormy evening. We were seated right away and greeted with warm bread! Our cocktails were delicious. I ordered the salmon special and it was cooked perfectly. Always a good time at the Table!

    The food is smart, creative & beautiful while remaining very approachable. We ordered and shared the: Hamachi Crudo, bone marrow, scallops, shishito peppers, and filet mignon with uni. We were wowed by the flavors and execution & plating of every course. The service is on point with attentive and friendly staff. Our order was well coursed out. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the space is well utilized for a smaller restaurant space.

    We booked a large group meeting (20 people) that grew to 28 people. The team handled the change quickly and we never really had any delays. I felt bad that the server didn't have much help but she did a great job and I really appreciated her hard work. Food was good as always, especially the steak skewers appetizers. Many got the large steak and said it was so good. Thanks for allowing us to have our group dinner there - we had a great time and look forward to the next time!
