I enjoyed dinner with my wife and niece at The Table, a place we have visited at least five times before. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, the cocktails are excellent, and the food has traditionally been the highlight of the evening. That reputation is exactly why this has become our go to Friday night spot before a major holiday. It usually delivers an upscale, home cooked meal paired with a great overall experience.
We sat outside on the patio, and our server was excellent. She was friendly, offered thoughtful recommendations, and consistently checked in on us despite how busy the restaurant was. The service that evening was truly outstanding.
For starters, we ordered the bone marrow, ceviche, octopus, and steak tartare.
The bone marrow consisted of one small seven inch bone served with three large slices of bread, each cut in half. The portion was imbalanced, and the dish itself lacked depth. We ended up using only two of the six pieces of bread. The ceviche, unfortunately, seemed to be missing any real flavor. The octopus had a very soft, almost airy texture that suggested it may have been sitting for some time. The clear standout among the starters was the steak tartare, which was excellent in flavor, texture, and presentation.
For our main courses, we ordered the scallop risotto, black cod, and crab salad. The presentation was beautiful, but this is where the experience fell apart. None of the dishes appeared to be seasoned at all. It felt as though salt and basic seasoning had been completely omitted. The lack of seasoning was consistent across all three dishes, which made the issue impossible to ignore.
The wine and cocktails were great. Unfortunately, we left disappointed in the food, especially because this restaurant has been such a reliable favorite for us. Given our past experiences, this meal felt like a significant deviation from the standard they have delivered in the past and that kept us coming back. We genuinely hope this was simply an off night, but this visit missed the mark.
