    We were greeted by our favorite waiter, Luca, who as usual was warm and friendly. On this occasion, he was in a Manager role. Congratulations Luca. Well deserved! We like to start off our dinner by attending the Happy Hour. As usual, the food was delicious, with smooth martinis with exceptional service! We will be back in 2025!

    When we decided to go out to eat for Christmas dinner, I ran across Table 26. The place looked nice on Open Table but we did not know what to expect. The restaurant was so beautifully decorated for the holidays. The drinks, food, and dessert were perfect. Several of us had salads which were freshly prepared and so tasty. My husband had the cornish hen with carrots and it was seasoned so well, moist and delicious. The portion sizes were perfect. All of the desserts looked fabulous but we settled on the hot fudge sundae, which we split. The staff were very attentive to us, checking on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this restaurant and we hope to return again some time soon.

    We had a wonderful experience! I made a reservation for 3 for a small (3) bday breakfast on Christmas Eve. Glad I did because the restaurant was busy! Glad to have valet service available The hostess Carrie, greeted me warmly and selected the perfect table for us and advised that it would be available shortly. She assisted me in selecting a novelty cake for presentation during dessert with a candle which was discreetly presented following our meal. The menu was broad offering both breakfast & lunch options. Excellent service was provided by Jessica, who offered us additional time to peruse the menu & chat. The food( portions, presentation, quality) was perfect. I dine out quite a bit however I’d never been here before and was very impressed. Excellent ratings!

    If you are searching for a unique, delicious and extraordinary dining experience - this hits all the marks. This was our second time dining with Jacob and Nadia, and round 2 catapulted us more deeply in love with their entire operation. Attention to detail is beyond exceptional here. They have every single nuance of the experience dialed - this is a multi-sensory journey - the visual quality of the room, the dark walls, perfect lighting and gorgeous plating and utensil selection - the playlist coming out of the speakers, which is raised and lowered at the perfect times, coinciding with the introduction of each course and pairing....the rich and delicious flavors, textures and adventure that is Jacob's food - perfectly paired with the incredibly interesting and educational journey that is Nadias liquid orchestra. These two are beyond, beyond. I will also give an extra mention to the incredibly thoughtful non alcoholic beverage pairing service offered - as a fellow sober human walking this life surrounded by alcoholic intoxication - I am extremely proud of Jacob for his sobriety and the bold stand he has taken to curate and provide this non alcoholic option - which I might add, is the best collection of non alcoholic beverages to ever hit my lips. Beyond 5 stars, so grateful we found you all - of course we will be back!
