I had brunch here and I'm still thinking about the experience. From the moment you walk in, there's an elevated yet welcoming atmosphere that immediately sets the tone. Let's talk about the chicken & waffles--absolutely phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with a crisp, golden exterior and juicy, flavorful interior. Paired with the waffles, which were light, fluffy, and subtly sweet, every bite was the perfect balance of savory and indulgent. It's one of those dishes that makes you pause for a second because it's just that good. Beyond the food, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and you can truly feel the level of care put into every detail. If you're in Winter Garden and looking for a place that delivers both quality and experience, this is it. I'll definitely be back. read more

I absolutely love the feel of Chef's Table. It has a nostalgic charm that really pulls you in. Sitting down almost feels like stepping back in time, with this slightly foggy, old-world atmosphere that sets the mood immediately. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating. We had a larger party booked and not everyone ended up arriving, which I'm sure was frustrating, but she handled it graciously and never let it show. The tapas menu is extensive and honestly a little overwhelming in the best way. There were so many tempting options it was hard to narrow things down. We went with the truffle fries, the mac and cheese carnitas tacos, and a bolognese-style pasta dish. Everything was decadent. Truly rich, indulgent food across the board, so this is not a place you leave feeling light. If you're in the mood for comfort-forward, indulgent dishes in a beautifully atmospheric setting, this spot delivers. Overall, I'd absolutely give it another visit. read more

Very good dinner with family with excellent service. Beef Wellington is highly recommended, mushroom flat bread were amazing. Arancini was excellent! We had Shrimp & Grits & Chicken skewers too. Those were nice also. We will come back for beef Wellington alone. read more

A very unique and special dining experience. You will sit in a small room next to a private kitchen. The server explains everything in perfect detail and is very knowledgeable.

Keep in mind the menu changes with new chef creations! read more

Always amazing service here at a Winter Garden local spot. With all of the recent news lately about local businesses right off of Plant Street closing unexpectedly without a future home, I had to come and visit chef's table. The staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable about the ever-changing menu. For my appetizer I tried the scallops over polenta and I'm not gonna lie. This is probably the best tasting scallops I've ever had in my entire life. In special fish was the grouper that was perfectly crisp on the outside and light and flaky on the inside, serve over a bed of risotto. Overall, an amazing experience that I couldn't even save room for dessert. I hope that chef's table remains a stable in winter garden. read more

The hostess and waitress were super welcoming and attentive. I sat at the windowsill high top table near the entrance. I love the small brewery feel of the decor. Food 5/10 Edgewater burger w/ duck fat fries the burger read well and listed many ingredients but some how was bland. I'm used to the burger being flavorful and this burger although cooked well didn't have any flavor. Not sure how it had gouda,smoked bacon and aioli and be so bland. The fries also weren't my favorite just dry. Drink 9/10 sunset mocktail. Very refreshing Service 10/10 waitress was super sweet and despite the food I had a pleasant experience. read more

I came for the first time tonight for Magical Dining and had an amazing experience. We came on a Tuesday night so we found parking fairly easily in the parking lot behind the building. Upon arrival, we were led by the hostess through the first restaurant, hotel, past the kitchen and into the other restaurant. Our server was very funny and made great recommendations. They start you each with a hot roll and butter. They had lots of cocktails which came out pretty and tasty. Honestly, all the dishes came out in beautiful presentation and great flavor. We had the mushroom crepes, beef tartare, pork ribeye, fish (cod), short rib, s'mores bread pudding and creme brulee. I will definitely be back! read more

We did a private dinner for a birthday with a tasting menu. Also did the wine pairing. I started with the strawberry salad which was perfect. Dried and regular strawberries. Then moved on to the steak. It was excellent. One of the best steaks I have had. For dessert I had the bread pudding. It was not my favorite. It was pretty dry. If it wasn't for the bread pudding, this would've been a five star meal. Would still definitely go back because that steak was incredible. read more

The food was incredible, the service was epic, and the ambiance special without being stuffy. We will definitely be back!

Came for a date night and it happened to be the night of the Annual Christmas Parade, which explained why we were able to get a reservation at peak hours but also that we missed the actual parade--we had plenty of time to enjoy the festivities and decor before and after, though! The place was pretty empty when we were first seated but started filling up quickly once the parade was over. We sat in the tasting room, not the prix fixe experience which seemed to happen in a separate room in the back. The ambience was cozy with the wood paneled walls and holiday decor. My partner picked this place specifically for their mini beef Wellington trio as we had missed out in the chance to try beef Wellington at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant on a recent trip. Do note that the menu is seasonal so the options will rotate. In addition to the beef trio we ordered the chef's collards, mushroom remoulade, and pear glazed elk chops. The dishes, while initially tasty, became overbearingly salty after getting through a couple bites, none more than the Wellington trio. The sauce on the elk chops was probably my favorite thing because it had the sweetness from the pear in addition to the salty. I'm sad to report that the Wellington bites was probably the most disappointing dish, which in addition to lacking dimension of flavor, was too well-done, the beef on the tough side. For some reason the red wine sauce didn't do a lot to add depth--really was just salty. Alas, I will just have to await Gordon's magic after all. I did also order a drink but it took so long to come that I basically had it as my dessert entree after dinner. Overall, I think it is fine as a "hotel restaurant" but priced a little too high for the quality of the food. read more

I didn't know you had to book in advance for the chefs table- special reservation. We just had a regular reservation I suppose. So we sat outside because inside was very chilly. Service was great. There was another group that was causing a problem in the restaurant so our orders got ignored. So we sat with our fries for a long time and entrees took forever. The chef came out to apologize. In the end, they comped our steak. I would definitely go back here again. I want to do the actual chefs table. The menu otherwise looks awesome. So many things I would eat. Bring a jacket. It's chilly inside. Parking is along the street and it's plentiful. It's right next to a cute hotel. In fact, the bathroom is through the hotel. read more

I can't believe I've never written a review. My husband and I have been coming here since 2013 for their creative seasonal dishes. The Chef's Table only has a set tasting menu of 3 options to choose from for starters, entre, and a desert. Portion sizes are just right, presentation is picture perfect, and the flavor of the food is exceptional. You also have the option to choose a wine pairing of three wines picked by the chef to pair with each portion of the meal. I highly recommend it. The service is top notch, and you can expect to receive 5 start treatment. The restaurant's small intimate setting in the kitchen area makes this experience great for special occasions. read more

On my birthday I had a reservation and the restaurant is located on the iconic Wintergarden downtown strip. The establishment is inside of a 1920s hotel and somewhat gives the vibe of a speakeasy. Once entering, you'll see the more casual portion of the interior but the hostess guided us to a back room within the hotel. Lots of stained glass and colonial furniture, refreshing to see in a world of modernism dystopia. The seating arrangements in the back were more intimate but still had the classic feel to it. Our waiters gave us a run down of the menu which was prefixed with 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts to choose from. I picked the Foie Gras with the blueberry compote as my first course. The presentation was impeccable, almost looked like a painting and well arranged. The taste resembled somewhat of a savory blueberry toast. My partner received the scallops with butternut squash purée and it was the perfect ratio of flavors. My entree was the Mahi Mahi with Bok Choy, it had slight lemony tinge to it but the fish was cooked flawlessly. My boyfriend got them Ribeye which fell off the bone, extremely tender and probably the largest portion on the menu. For desert, I selected the New York cheesecake, the execution of the dish was immaculate but I prefer my comrades instead. He ordered the Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée and it tasted uncannily like a brownie. I chose an alcoholic drink as well and it was strong. Unlike South Florida fine dining (I'm from Broward), I was pleasantly surprised that I left Chef's Table full. All the dishes were a exquisite culmination of flavors. Worth every penny and it wasn't that pricey for 2 people. Should be Michelin starred for sure. read more

Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were seated at the time of our reservation. You get a little tour of the hotel lobby on your way to the table. The waiter went over the menu and recommendations. Very attentive. The food was delicious. The menu changes every 6 weeks, the most popular dishes stay on the menu. They have a full bar and the drinks were really good. We visited during Magical Dinning. That made the price even better. read more

We've heard many great things about this place, so we decided to try it and celebrate our anniversary. It's located in the back of the tasting room, which I've eaten at several times and highly recommend. They offer a chef's table selection menu. You have about three choices from each course. We loved everything we had, and it was an elevated food experience worthy of 5-stars. We started with a Mushroom torte and some ravioli, followed by the duck and the most delicious pork ribeye I've ever had! Unfortunately, the gnocchi it came with was slightly burnt, but since everything else was fantastic, I'll consider this an oversight. We finished with crème brûlée and bread pudding for dessert. You can also opt for the wine pairing, but we just got a bottle of wine to share. Our server was down to earth, not pushy about anything, and the environment was very relaxed and pleasant. Where we sat, I could watch the kitchen staff preparing the meals. I'm glad we chose to celebrate our anniversary there. It was a perfect place for our special night! read more

Came here this past weekend for an early valentines dinner and tried the prearranged 3 course meal. The food was good as usual. For the 3 course meal for two (appetizer, entree and dessert) with two cocktails came out to be around $275. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive.

This time we went for magical dining. It was not a magical experience. The mushroom ravioli appetizer was overpowered by the cheese, and was not nearly as good as the previous version. We both had the fish with beet risotto. The fish was not flavorful and the risotto was not tasty either. That dessert was a chocolate crème brûlée, which was a dark chocolate pudding with caramelized sugar. The whip cream was the best part. read more

Food: Starting on July 1st, guests can take advantage of their Tasting Room Date Night Experience at $75 per couple, which is basically a three-course prix fixe dinner with optional wine pairings. - First course: the Pan Seared Scallops (2 large ones) had a perfect golden-brown crust and were paired with a watercress salad, which I love and think goes very well with buttery seafood. 5 stars. - Second course: I was initially told that the Fish of The Day was swordfish, which I wasn't very thrilled about, but ordered anyway. I was pleasantly surprised when the waiter told me that they ran out of swordfish and asked me if I would be okay with halibut. I agreed right away since halibut is one of my favorite types of white fish. The halibut's texture was good but the fish itself could have been seasoned better, so I added salt and pepper to it, which worked. Fish was accompanied by risotto and blackeyed beans. While the risotto was creamy (though not heavy) and tasty, I would never pair fish with blackeyed beans and, indeed, was not a fan of the combination. 3 stars. - Third course: I don't usually pick creme brulee when given different options for dessert, but the fact that this one was a Coconut Creme Brulee made me curious. And it did not disappoint: the coconut flavor made it a very unique desert indeed. Since the creme brulee on its own is quite fatty, I'm of the opinion that the generous portion of whipped cream on top could have been left out of the plate. 5 stars. Service: our waiter was fabulous! From offering to sample red and white wine and making suggestions to describing each course on the menu in more detail, he was able to leave a lasting impression with his emotional intelligence, knowledge of the business/menu, and sense of humor. The young lady serving bread was also very friendly and made sure we had warm bread the entire night. Ambiance: The restaurant is on the first floor of The Historic Edgewater Hotel, which, according to its website, opened in 1927 and "has undergone a historic restoration to provide guests with as much of the original 1927 ambiance as possible". Its facade hints at the elegance awaiting inside. As I stepped into this restaurant, I was immediately transported back in time to the grandeur of an earlier era. The restaurant has separate smaller rooms which makes it even more unique. We passed by the hotel's reception to access our table, which was located in a small room in the back, with only 3 tables total, and right next to the kitchen. There were no walls or doors between the room and the kitchen so I was able to see from very close all the kitchen activity. While I would usually mind seating that close to the kitchen (looking at how food is made in a restaurant would usually be a mood killer for me), I actually enjoyed watching the organized chaos this time. read more

The Valentines special was a huge miss. The food was tepid and nothing stood out. The heard ravioli in particular looked terrible (pic attached) and tasted like mustard. Dessert was confusing. The chocolate cake tasted like a healthy gluten-free something... the strawberry thing was trying to be too much. With the wine pairing and tip it was $400 for 2 people. Very much not worth it; won't be back. read more

Absolutely amazing experience and I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. Food, service, atmosphere! Perfect! We had the best time here and I would say this may have been the best meal I have had all year. We dined for a birthday celebration and the sever Ryan did well to make sure we felt celebrated and special. He knew literally everything to a T about the menu and the food. We opted for the wine pairing and the cheese plate, the cheese was delicious. The wine pairs were wonderful. Overall I will return and recommend this restaurant to anyone with a special occasion or just to have a nice meal! read more

Loved it!!!! We went for dinner and they got a set menu. Not sure if that is how the operate or just for that evening, but it was on a Tuesday night so I guess that is it. THe options were great. We all went for the octupus as a first course. It was divine. Large portion when compared to other restaurants. Octopus was nice and soft. For main course, 2 of us went for the Duck breast - it was placed over a really good lightly spicy curry sauce - who knew duck and curry went so well. Another entry ordered was the fish which was delicious as well. For desert, we ordered all the 3 options. I had the banana breadpudding and did not dissapoint. I can't wait to return but will check in advance the menu - don't want to repeat. Highly recommend. The server was also fantastic. I wish I can remember his name. read more

We visited chef's table on a Friday night. We had an 8:30 reservation, but our table was ready as soon as 7! We arrived around 7:45 and the host immediately sat us. The seating area is through the lobby of the Edgewater in an intimate dining room with just a few tables. It's dim, but not too dark to read. Definitely a great date spot! Our server gave us a very in depth run down of the menu complete with his recommendations and took our drink order. I started with a twist of fate's reflection, which was light and refreshing. For food, I got the mushroom torte, the rack of lamb, and the chocolate torte. The mushroom crepe torte was excellent. The melted Gruyère on top with the delicate crepes and the flavorful mushrooms was a combination made in heaven. I was thrilled with my choice. Next, I had the rack of lamb. I grew up eating lamb, so I have pretty high standards. The lamb was cooked to absolute perfection (I requested medium rare and medium rare it was!). The seasoning and sauce leaned a little bit sweet for my taste, but it was still delicious. I found the romesco sauce very good as well. For dessert, I was really torn between the creme brûlée and the chocolate torte. I'm not much of a chocolate person, but I go crazy for popcorn, so I went with the torte. It was life changing! I absolutely loved the chocolate torte portion with the flakes of sea salt. The ice cream was unique and I would buy an entire pint of it if I could, and eat it every night with a drizzle of caramel and some caramel popcorn. The ice cream tasted exactly like buttered popcorn and it was delightful. Overall, I would absolutely return to chef's table. I'm eager to try their other dishes and see what else their excellent chef comes up with! read more

I visited the Chef's Table this past weekend in Celebration of my wife's birthday. We did the Chef's Table 3 course dinner with wine pairing. Let's start with the cheese plate. This was not included but sounded too good to pass up. Double creamed Brie, manchego with guava, Gouda and honey... and a few others. Served with small crostinis, it was absolutely delicious and quite filling. Fresh baked dinner rolls with butter were provided, and fresh and steaming hot they were. The first course was the mushroom and chive crepe tort... DELICIOUS. My wife hates mushrooms but stepped outside her comfort zone based on the description and absolutely loved it. It was a paired with Montpellier Pinot Noir. I drink a lot of burgundy so I knew this was a common pairing, but the wine itself was ok at best yet still good enough to balance the richness of the torte. Course two was a rack of lamb with a polenta cake and eggplant purée. It was paired with the St. Cosme Rhône Villages. I actually love this wine and drink it quite often as it's pretty affordable when I don't want to buy a Chataneuf du Pape. The lamb however was undercooked. I asked for medium rare and it was definitely on the rare side. I was already getting full so I didn't send it back. But I was a bit disappointed with the temperature. I powered through and enjoyed the polenta cake. My wife asked for medium and got more of a medium rare as well.... Solid pairing aside from the lamb. Course three was a deconstructed lemon cheesecake. It was good. Nothing special, but good. The pairing however was exquisite ... a late harvest torrontes. Great pairing. Our server was great, enthusiastic, and clearly studied the pairings carefully.... as he was able to describe the flavor profiles of the wines and their interaction with the food before serving. The ambience was great, nice, and quiet. I'm glad we made an early reservation as it started to fill up when we were leaving. We will be back. If not for the lamb it would have been a 5 star review. read more

After our friends telling us we must try Chef's Table, my husband and I finally made reservations for our anniversary. We got married in December so we benefited from their holiday menu. What a perfectly intimate setting and outstanding service! I had the mushroom crepe, pork ribeye, and white chocolate bread pudding. My husband had the ravioli, delmonico, and the pistachio cake. We each ended the evening with espresso martinis. My pork ribeye was so tender. I am not a huge fan of pork but I was told it's a celebrated constant on the menu. I can't recommend it enough. It came with a sauce similar to apple butter that complimented it perfectly. My mushroom crepe was also outstanding. I probably could have eaten the entire tray of it -- just wow! Finally, my espresso martini was the perfect send off after all the delicious food we ate. My husband RAVED about the delmonico and said he wants to come back next anniversary to have it again. He said he would also order my ribeye when the delmonico was not an option. He said his ravioli was incredible and would absolutely order them again. It was such a pleasure and treat to celebrate our marriage with delightful food and service. We would highly recommend the journey for those who live in central Florida! read more

We used to love this place until we went on 10/12, our beef Wellington came so quickly that we were intrigued as it usually takes a long time since it's fresh, from the first bite it was cold and tasted reheated and a little burnt on the top. The brunch menu seemed nice but the French toast had what looked like canned fruit on top. Not the quality we expected and my husband's burger that he ordered well done was raw. Not the quality we expected as we've been several times and always loved it. It will be a long time until we try again if we do. read more

My husband, Al, and I dined at the Chef's Table on Feb 19 2024 and celebrated my birthday. We ordered from the chef's tasting menu and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a very long time. You see I am a classically trained and award-winning chef in my own right so my standards are quite high and I am, more often than not, disappointed in restaurants, even fine dining establishments. Al started with the "Heartbreaker" Cocktail, which was excellent then he had the mushroom and chive crepe torte for an appetizer, exceptional and enough for 2 to share actually so we brought part of it back to the hotel and had it for lunch the next day. He then chose the Duck confit, also outstanding. For dessert he had the chocolate torte with the toasted marshmallow ice cream and caramel sauce, again, beyond delicious and the ice cream was the best thing i've had in my mouth in a long time. Al also did the wine pairing with his courses. I sampled each pairing and they were perfectly matched. I tried the Mr. Pink as an aperitif and loved every drop but the pink peppercorn's stole the show. Then I started with the foie gras. Every bite just brings you to your knees. This was the main reason we selected The Chef's Table to begin with because I had to have foie gras. I chose the filet for my entree and I must say it may have been one of the best filet's i've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a char that was to die for. I brought part of my filet back to the hotel to go with the torte for lunch the next day. Even warmed up it was delicious. For dessert I had the mission fig bread pudding, which had a fantastic texture and was the perfect level of sweetness. I paired the pecan pie martini with it and it was decadent and complimented the dessert perfectly. I did not opt for the wine pairing as a sip of two from Al's were enough for me. Our server, JJ, was attentive, funny, and generous with her time. The manager came by twice to chat with us. The atmosphere was romantic but not stuffy and we had a great view of the kitchen, which as a chef is simply theatre for me. Lastly, the prices were not stupid. This kind of tasting menu can easily run well over $100 pp without the wine pairing. I appreciate the fact that, while affordable, it was elegant and indulgent. We will never visit Orlando again without returning to The Chef's Table and I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amanda & Al Fraioli read more

I would not hesitate to return here in a heartbeat. Service was spot on, ambiance was romantic and perfect for a date night, and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I opted for the wine pairing with each course. Definitely do this! It included a full glass of wine with each course, and for $30 it was a total steal. The wine paired perfectly with the food, and I was shocked at how much we got. Food is amazing. So much care goes into each dish. And since the menu changes seasonally, I can't wait to go back and try something new next time. read more

Holy freaking wow! This restaurant is just amazing. You have to go, end of story. I'm going to do my best to describe my meal, but it definitely won't do it justice. Also- go hungry, so much food! We were walked into a cozy little corner room. Our waiter arrived and explained the menu to us. He was amazing, so excited about the food and just awesome. We started with the cheese course five different cheeses, each with its own accompaniment. Blue cheese with figs, white cheddar with jam, etc. 10/10 would recommend. Next course was the bread, that was so fresh and warm, I definitely think it deserves to be considered a course. Third was an appetizer. My date ordered the mushroom torte and loved it! I ordered the blt salad (minus the bacon). You can honestly tell how much thought and love goes into each dish. For my entree, I had mentioned in my reservation that I am a vegetarian, and they made me a special vegetarian entree. Side note: most restaurants cop out when it comes to a vegetarian entree, not this place. Homemade raviolis with broccolini on top. Mwah! Lastly was dessert, I ordered the chocolate torte with homemade marshmallow fluff. It was good, but honestly to this point I was to full to eat much of eat. My date ordered the bread pudding and that was incredible as well. 10/10 would recommend. I'm going to start turning everything into an occasion so I can go back here. read more

This is the place to go when you are looking for a romantic date night. It is sure to impress, from the knowledgeable staff, and waiters. Our waiter is a sommelier, trained in France, and he knows exactly what to suggest for pairing your wines with any dish. Their prix fix menu has something for anyone to enjoy, from salad, shrimp and mushroom appetizers to pork, fish and different cuts of steak (the steak has an up charge) for your main entrees. For an extra $30 you can have wine pairings with every course. The ambiance is very romantic, but at the same time great for any occasion. My husband and I like to try different restaurants and this one is for sure one that we will return to! read more

The food looks like it would be great by looking at the photos. Sadly I'll probably never eat here due to an interaction with one of the staff who at 3:30 in the afternoon on a weekday with zero customers outside told me I could not sit and finish my ice cream from the store next door. I get it if it was near the business time, but there was no one there. It's a small community, just be friendly. read more

Went here for the first time with my partner and just wanted to experience what this restaurant had to offer. So I decided to just order based on the menu and with some assistance from my waiter named Ryan. The service he delivered was AMAZING. He was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and speaks about eloquently as well. He "sells" the food very well. So I decided on the pan seared foie gras, pork ribeye and chocolate cake. The foie gras tasted quite delicious with the win that pared with the meal. FYI their is a specific method on how to consumer this meal, ask your waiter. However the ribeyes wasn't so great to me and I believe it's not the manner it was prepared in, it was my taste buds. Finally the chocolate cake I ate and it was amazing, along with the win that was pared with it. Please prepared yourselves for a pricy dinner but a fun experience and one that I'm sure most don't have quite often. On the contrary my partner ordered her meals and loved it, the meals are listed in the pictures but overall a lovely experience. read more

The Chef's Table in Winter Garden village is absolutely a classic. They have put together a nice selection from their menu and call it the date night experience. Several shareables are served up and come out as the kitchen prepares them. This is perfect for two people to share. I specifically enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The truffle fries (which many people love) were a bit too overpowering for my pallet. I've come to realize I'm not a truffle fan. I do recommend the date night option however as it is a great way to get a taste of what this special restaurant has to offer. The service I might mention was impeccable. read more

Finally tried this place after hearing amazing things about it over the last 2 years. Honestly what kept me away was I had always heard it was "so expensive" but then the other night I walked past and saw the 3-course menu for just under $60 and was like WHAT?! That's not bad at all! So we booked reservations for 4 for my sister's birthday. The restaurant is hidden in the back near the kitchen, hence the name. It's very cozy and intimate. The servers are very well versed on the menu and I could tell are very passionate about the menu items. First we ordered cocktails which were all perfectly crafted. My boyfriend ordered the pecan pie which was super strong but good. I ordered the strawberry fields which was perfectly delicate and delicious. We added on the cheese plate for about $17 which was the perfect size for 4 people. It was great. For appetizers 3 of us did the mushroom and leek crepe. My dad ordered the foie gras which was AMAZING. Seriously so good. Tasted like French toast. The crepe was good too, but I would totally get the foie gras next time. It is a $8 upcharge. For entrees we all went with the filet which was cooked & flavored perfectly. Seriously one of the best steaks I've had in a very long time. The chèvre mashed potatoes were very good too and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. For dessert we did the bread pudding and creme brûlée. Both were good but the bread pudding was much better. I can't wait to go back here! My dad and sister were visiting from Virginia and said this is one of the best restaurants they had been to. I highly recommend! read more

Used to go to this place every week but unfortunately since the bartender Eric left it has gone downhill tremendously. Both the service and the ambience and atmosphere have been terrible every time we've been since. The new young partner cusses 24/7, his girlfriend is always hanging out taking a seat at the bar.. for the amount of $$$ I am spending at this place he is not the bartender for this.. If I wanted to go to a divebar I would go to Tony's down the street which is where it seems like he should be working.. He talks trash about everyone constantly at the bar he constantly uses the F word and other cussing Language every sentence he has out of his mouth and there is no hi how are you or any customer service at all whatsoever from him . Or checking back. Sees u sit down and decides to continue to talk crap rather than serve you. We will not be returning to Chefs Table until he's gone and his drinks are not very good either - They are very unbalanced. Not great bartender at all. Needs to go back to a pool bar... Unfortunately after going there several times with my friends since he's worked there every time has been a disappointment and really unfortunate. For the level of money spending I expect people to say hello how are you be prompt about their service check back on the food etc. basic service things for a good restaurant and server or Bartender in general as it would be requirements of the job.. but he doesn't bother and doesn't seem to care either. His attitude is very indifferent ... He seems to talk to his girlfriend sitting at the end of the bar which has happened multiple times but yet ignores every customer their empty drinks/plates, waiting to order food etc.. His gf at this point takes a seat at the bar which another patron could've used... and then paying customers get ignored.. he continuously talks to the other servers instead of attending to actual bar patrons. Unfortunately nothing good to say at this point about Chefs Table.. it's going downhill and that's really unfortunate as we used to love it we miss Eric, he was personable caring and creative with his drinks.. and I don't know what happened to him but the drinks have gone downhill since the service is gone and the ambience and atmosphere is downgraded greatly. Really disappointed. We'll never go to an upscale bar or find any restaurant where the bartender ignores you and cusses every other word. So inappropriate. I seriously don't know how the managers don't know this isn't OK and why he is still there read more

Food here is special. Uniquely crafted. Chef pays attention to detail. Service is wonderful. It's a quaint dining room, quiet, soft music so you can actually talk to your company. There's no place like it. read more

Chef's table is an absolute treasure. I have been a couple times and have always enjoyed it. The cheese board brought a fantastic array of flavors. From accompaniments, to bread service, to mains, etc. I never felt like I was missing anything from the experience by being gluten- free. I had a delicious elk tenderloin (my first elk experience) and it reminded me of an extremely rich filet mignon. I had a perfect made in-house mango sorbet with fresh fruit for dessert. I highly recommend the wine pairing as the wines are very well chosen and bring out the very best in each course. Service and ambiance were wonderful, genuine and heart-warming as always. Cannot wait for my next visit! read more

This was an amazing dining experience from start to finish! My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here. Making reservations online was easy. We arrived about a half hour early and I asked if we could have a drink at the bar while we waited, but our table was actually ready so we were able to be seated right away! We were escorted back to the intimate dining area and seated. Our server was Jeff and he was wonderful! He gave us recommendations, answered any questions we had, asked us about likes and dislikes, and knows the menu inside and out. He helped ensure our experience was amazing. We started with cocktails. I ordered the pecan pie cocktail and my boyfriend ordered the Plant Street Hurricane. Both drinks were delicious! The pecan pie is definitely a strong one, but still very good. For appetizers we ordered the Caribbean shrimp and the mushroom and chive crepe torte. The shrimp was so tender with a sweet and spicy style sauce. Very good. The mushroom torte was ridiculously delicious. I could eat that as a main meal and be happy. For entrees, my boyfriend chose the char grilled filet and I opted for the pork ribeye. The filet was probably the best steak either of us have had. It was melt in your mouth tender and perfectly cooked. The pork ribeye was also tender and flavorful and they top the pork ribeye with the best piece of pork belly I've had. The warm potato salad was unique and delicious and they even made it without red onion since I'm not a big fan of onions which was great. At this point we were both full. Jeff boxed up my leftover pork and had our desserts boxed up for us as well. For dessert, we chose the berry bread pudding and dark chocolate creme brûlée. I did take one bite of each from the boxes just to taste them fresh and no surprise, they were delicious. The Chef's Table is definitely a perfect restaurant for any special occasion. We loved the food, the amazing service and hospitality from not only Jeff, but everyone else we encountered including the manager that checked in on us, and the romantic atmosphere. It was worth every penny! read more
