La Table

"First impressions?Timeless and elegant, this restaurant by the Galleria immediately makes you want to celebrate something—anything. What's the crowd like?Even non-regulars seem like they belong here—everyone projects an air of cool confidence. The crowd is split: Casual diners in expensive workout gear or designer jeans, fine diners in suits or patterned wrap dresses. You'll definitely spot a red-soled shoe or a flash of Valentino studs. Recommendations for drink orders?If there were ever a place to drink Champagne, this is it—either in a sparkling cocktail or straight from the bottle. Now for the star of the show. What should we order to eat?La Table is several restaurants in one. There's a solid to-go bakery, a casual menu and outdoor dining at Marché downstairs, and a fine dining bonanza at Château upstairs. Must-try items include the French onion soup upstairs, yellowfin tuna flatbread downstairs, and any of the fun cocktails. The social media mavens will undoubtedly order the avocado toast, which is actually really quite good. Is the service noteworthy?The staff is well-trained and professional; the food is well-timed and efficient without making you feel rushed. We celebrated an anniversary here, and the servers seemed genuinely excited to have us. Sum it all up for us.This is a place to take people to celebrate something, whether it's a casual get-together or something that's been on the books for weeks." - Diana Oates
