Four of us walked in around 5:30 on a Saturday night, and the Maitre D' ominously asked us if we had reservations. When we said no, we had a few uncomfortable seconds as he scanned some papers before eventually leading us to a nice corner table in the left-rear corner of the dining room. Within fifteen minutes, the dining room was 100% packed.
Table 104 is quite a popular higher end restaurant. They have valet parking and you don't have an option to use it or not. The pasta dishes run around $20 and the meat, chicken, and seafood entrees will cost you between $20 and $30. The entrees do not include salads, but they offer five pretty big shareable salads between $10 and $12.
Our dinner started off with a basket of complimentary freshly baked bread served with a hummus spread. We had trouble identifying it (some thought it was a cheese spread and I thought it was mustard based) but our server told us it was hummus.
Next we split two of their salads, a Kale Caesar Salad ($10) with a big cheese crouton and a Chop Chop Salad ($10) with Romaine, Radicchio, Goat Cheese Fritters, and a Mustard Vinaigrette $10. The goat cheese fritters were interesting and unique -small fried globes of goat cheese that oozed out when you bit into them.
We all went for a pasta for our entrees - Linguine with Clams, Wild Shrimp, Roasted Tomatoes and Seafood Broth for $20, Rigatoni Bolognese with a Ground Meat Ragu and Parmigiano for $18, and a Garganelli (similar to Penne) Boscaiola with House Smoked Sausage, Herbed Mushrooms, and Pecorino cheese for $18. I swapped out the prescribed Bechamel sauce for a terrific Fra Diavlo ($18).
My Garganelli was terrific -I loved every bite. Great pasta, delicious sausage and mushrooms, in a zippy slow burning Fra Diavlo sauce. It was perfect!
For desserts we went to one of the night's specials for Banana Crepes with vanilla gelato and chocolate sauce, and to the regular menu for an order of three biscottis ($4). No complaints here at all -both dishes were very good.
Service was good with lots of water fill ups and a few check-backs, but a little slow on bringing over the dinner check.
There are other Italian restaurants out there with larger portions and included salads, but as long as you are comfortable with Table 104's pricing and menu features, you'll have a very enjoyable meal here, just as we did.
