They also have their own parking lot and outdoor seating area. We ordered the steak and eggs and the avocado toast. Both were tasty, but the steak portions were a bit smaller than I expected for the price. That said, everything was well prepared, and the rest of the menu looked really appealing. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other breakfast and lunch options.

We waited about 20 minutes for our order and they were not very busy. Found prices to be quite high for what we had. $55.00 My coffee was old and very black and not warm.

The second batch came out greasy again and not crispy The service was fair. The ambiance is very open but gives a cold appearance.

Did I mention that the did was fresh?! Wow! Mmm! My boyfriend had the combination fajita. He made the same comment... sooo fresh! We almost didn't stay because when we entered the establishment, other than the one family that was already seated at a table, there was no one to be found. Just before I was going to walk out, a young man walked out from the kitchen and told us we could sit where we wanted to. He brought menus and asked us what we'd like to drink. After mentioning a few things that included unsweet iced tea and Pellegrino, we asked for the tea. He returned to say they were out. We then asked for the Pellegrino, but he immediately stated they didn't have any. We opted for the mineral water. We were brought a small tray with chips and salsa. Once again, very fresh and the salsa was amazing. I did have to ask for napkins. All in all, I'll definitely be visiting this restaurant again

Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the staff and seated soon after. The menu had a wide variety of items from paninis, salads, and omelettes, to things like burgers and New York strip steaks. The drink selection is also nice with lattes, coffee, matcha, chai, all at a reasonable price. Overall, anyone eating here would be able to find something they like. For drinks we got the coconut cake matcha, and carrot cake matcha. The coconut cake matcha had a very nice coconut flavor with cream that was not too sweet and it tasted exactly like a coconut cake. It's good if you like coconut. The carrot cake matcha tasted like a spiced carrot cake and was the flavors were very balanced. Both were very enjoyable! What we ended up ordering was the Croffle Flight (Crème Brûlée, Tiramisu, Cannoli, Fresh Berries & Cream), chicken and waffles, the Tatum's Table Burger, and the Green Goddess Salad with steak. This was my first time having a croffle which is a mix between a waffle and a croissant. Each one was very delicious and presented beautifully. My favorite thing about them was the texture and consistency since they were pillowy soft on the inside but still had a little bounce/crunch to it. On top of that, the chicken and waffles far exceeded my expectations when i bit into it and it had huge flavor! The Sweet Bourbon-Brown Sugar Maple Syrup and Honey Butter used complemented it so well. The burger was also very good and you can tell very fresh ingredients were used. It was delicious and what I noticed about it was that when eating it, nothing was greasy or oily. It was very clean and the only moisture was from the patty's juiciness and the fresh vegetables used. This is a contrast to other burgers I've had that were oily and I felt great after eating this one. Lastly, we got the green goddess salad with steak. As you can see in the picture, the portion was very generous and the ingredients were all fresh. It was delicious and is great for anyone who likes tangy herb dressings. To conclude, I must say that Tatum's Table is a destination worth visiting. The entire time I was there, I was well taken care of by the friendly staff who made me feel at home. The menu had a lot of effort put into it and the food clearly shows. I will be visiting again soon.

Had he not given us the Dutch coffee samples I would not have ordered. He also gave us samples of the crumb cake - home made. Family said it was good- not gluten free so I didn't try it.
