TABLE

Was really excited to eat here. I had heard some decent things and so I went to book and right before checking out it said to check the menu before reserving so I did and saw there were things I don’t think I would like and ended up closing the tab and never making the reservation. Sure enough the website reserved it anyway and ended up charging me for the whole dinner I never went to. They never called me asking where I was for my reservation or anything. If you are going to charge someone 250 for a reservation, the least they can do is call if you aren’t on time. I got nothing. I emailed the restaurant about my issue and they did not care at all. All they wanted was their money. I don’t care how good their food may be, I would not recommend going to a place that is so rude and selfish and doesn’t even care about the customers.

There were some standouts like the chicken cutlets and the gnocchi, but this menu is incredibly centered around red sauce and cheese. I wish there was more diversity and complexity - eg. more spices and different red sauces. Everything tasted good… but I don’t think that’ll be enough to justify $100+ on dinner. Personally, I am not a fan of the table atmosphere. It’s cramped and I hear too much of the conversations next to me. While in theory, people would strike up conversations next to you (if you’ve been to Monells in TN, they’re a great example of this), but not here.

Atmosphere & Expectations: I visited Table with much anticipation, intrigued by its communal dining concept and cozy atmosphere. The setting was inviting, fostering a shared dining experience which I found quite appealing. Cuisine & Repetition: As an Italian restaurant, I expected Italian fare, but I was surprised by the limited variety within this theme. The prefixed menu heavily featured dishes centered around cheese and red sauce. Despite each being well-prepared, the repetitive nature of these components in most dishes led to a somewhat monotonous dining experience. A few meat dishes provided some diversity, but they were few and somewhat rich for my liking. Value for Money: Reflecting on the meal and ambiance, the price felt a bit high. The atmosphere and unique dining style were definitely positives, but the lack of variety in the menu and the overall experience didn't fully justify the cost. Overall Impression: Table offers a unique communal dining experience in a pleasant setting, but the repetitive cheese and red sauce-centric menu might not meet expectations for those seeking a varied Italian culinary journey.

I rented Table out for a small wedding this past weekend and Jen and her team absolutely crushed it. Amazing experience from start to finish. The food here is far better than every other restaurant in the North End. Coming back in a week for a corporate outing and couldn’t be more excited. Thanks again.

The shop is cozy and quaint with an assortment of goods like salamis, pasta, and bread. I ordered a mocha latte which was delicious and a pecan bar which tasted like a pecan pie. Overall would definitely come back. Cute little shop.

This is a phenomenal restaurant with amazing food and great wine. You will not leave hungry. However, for the price and dining experience/time, the chairs were incredibly cheap and uncomfortable. For the price of the meal, more comfortable chairs that have a cushion would take the experience to the next level. Only critique.

I have dreams about Tables Sunday supper chicken cutlets nightly. This place is something else in all the best ways! The food is always fresh, authentic and bursting with color. The service is on par to being at grandmas- seriously you’ll feel like family. You’ll make new friends, enjoy a great meal, and have an experience to last a lifetime.
