    The ambiance was just fantastic. From the moment we walked door we felt comfortable and at home. Everything you could imagine was handled to perfection. The service was without a single flaw from start to finish. This will be our pre Christmas event every year moving forward. Ever single course of our mean was perfectly paired with a fabulous wine. And the food was incredible from start to finish. Unique flavors and perfect presentation made the evening wonderful. The post dinner tour was a must. We truly enjoyed getting to know the staff and the owner. Folks do not pass up the opportunity to have this experience. It's a must visit if you are in the area.

    Gorgeous evening for a meal!

    So excited to share my recent experience at The Chefs Table with you. Let me tell you, it was an unparalleled culinary journey that left me absolutely speechless. The Chefs Table is truly a hidden gem, an experience unlike any other I've had before. What sets them apart is their unique approach - no advertisements, focusing on larger groups and special events. From the moment I stepped in, it felt like a home away from home. The highlight for me was being able to walk right into the kitchen and witness the magic happening up close and personal with the talented chefs. The bar service was impeccable, perfectly complementing the outstanding meal that was served to us. Each dish was specially curated and simply mind-blowing. The Chefs Table knows how to serve up the goods in the most exceptional way possible. Wine paired with every course also left our group yearning for more! After dinner they took us on the grand tour of the place showing us some of hidden nooks and crannies that make this place oh so special! I cannot recommend Chefs Table enough for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

    Everything was done SO well at The Chef's Table for our private event. We chose to meet with Lisa prior to our event to curate the menu and see the space. She treated us like family and helped us to create the perfect menu. The space is so eclectic and special. Every dish was incredibly well balanced and creative. The wine pairings were fantastic and went perfectly with each dish. We were able to get drinks other than wine at the bar which were delicious. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    This place is incredible. The food was top notch but the service and the whole expertise was just phenomenal. Steph provided the perfect amount of attention and conversation during happy hour and the restaurant tour, but gave us enough space during the meal to enjoy the food. Alex ran the show and did a masterful job of cooking and conversing, including details of all the ingredients and recipes. I've spent more money on service that wasn't anywhere near The Chefs Table. We will be back for sure!

    Wow what a gem of a restaurant! When you walk in you're greeted by a beautifully created dining area. The more you look the more wonderful eye catching creations you'll find. The owner has done a wonderful job creating a vibrant dining room full of treasures. Each course we had was better than the last. I was a part of a group, so didn't have the pleasure of choosing the menu. However, the chef put his best foot forward and created wonderful dishes and provided exceptionally paired wines for each course. After dinner we adjourned to the basement to find a wonderland of various themed rooms. I won't spoil the fun, just insist you make your way to the basement!!!

    My husband and I had a birthday dinner here and couldn't have enjoyed our experience more! The scheduling is a little different as you fill out a request and someone emails you back to discuss details but they were prompt and helpful. When you arrive there's no signage for the business but a door labeled entrance with a cool old school knocker. You're greeted at the door and shown to your provider area for the evening. Everything was fairly laid back and friendly and the staff checked in on us often. We had the five course meal that was absolutely fantastic. The food was incredible and the chef came down to introduce most of the courses and the wine pairings were explained as well. They explained that the chef has owned the building for 11 years and they have been open for 10 and they don't do any advertising so it speaks to itself that they're doing great business! Most definitely worth a special occasion.

    We had the best time here for a celebratory girl's dinner at the end of residency! I think we were lucky to have a night with relatively few groups so we had the chance to experience multiple spaces. Immediately on walking in, we got to go behind the bookcase down to the speakeasy for a cocktail before our dinner. Alana, the bartender, was excellent and had great recommendations for our drinks which were all amazing. After our drinks, we were shown into the soda shop, where we had a beautiful charcuterie tray ready. We never felt rushed to sit down for dinner, and the entire staff made us feel very welcomed. The Chef de Cuisine introduced every course along with the sommelier introducing wine pairings and everything was beautifully choreographed. Course 1: Asparagus soup - beautiful, creamy, and paired with a lovely brut wine. I thought it was maybe a bit heavy for summer but the flavors were delicious. Course 2: salad with hydroponic greens, heirloom tomatoes, and feta cheese - fresh and light with a delicious vinaigrette, paired with a Sauvignon Blanc Course 3: shrimp with forbidden rice and a mole sauce, paired with a Pinot noir. This was probably my favorite dish! Lots of complex, unexpected flavors that melded together beautifully. Course 4: duck a'l'orange with Chardonnay. We were all getting a bit full at this point but the duck was so tender with a lovely light sauce, and the chardonnay balanced it beautifully. This was probably one of my favorite duck meals I've ever had. Course 5: strawberry rhubarb tart with lavender ice cream and crystallized ginger. I liked this but wasn't blown away - the rhubarb was a bit crunchy for me but I was also SO full at this point. At the end of our meal, the staff was so kind to offer to take some group photos and let us explore the wine cellar where a different couple had already had their meal. For a dinner in a basement, we were all blown away by the quality of service and decor - this is absolutely a meal to make you feel special and give you a chance to talk and connect with the people you're with. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

    Large dinning table

    Okay how COOL is the Chef's Table! I'd heard of its existence but not much about all it entails, so it was really great to attend a recently holiday event at this exclusive spot. I joined a group of about 30 for my husband's work event, and prior to going, we were made aware that there would be a coursed dinner and a scavenger hunt. You're thinking "how does a scavenger hunt work at a restaurant?" ... yep, I wondered the same. But wow do they pull out all the stops to make the interactive experience an enjoyable one! Upon arriving, my initial thought was how unique and beautiful the place was. There's a massive dinning table as the focal point of the room, beautifully set, and the wall behind it is absolutely covered in pots, pans, and kitchen utensils. Even the chandelier includes overhanging silverware! The decor throughout the room makes for a great atmosphere for sure. With drinks from the bar in hand, we were put into teams, handed a piece of paper with the scavenger hunt outline, and explained how the game worked. Basically, you work together to find clues around the venue. Oh, and when I say venue, that also includes the kitchen and decked out lower level with seemingly secret rooms and a second bar. We followed many clues and riddles and were completely entertained by the whole thing. After an hour of "hunting" the game came to a close and we all sat for dinner. I can't say enough about the delicious food prepared for us. From the pork and halibut to the sweet creme brûlée dessert, the flavors were fantastic. Shout out to this great establishment for hosting such a fun and memorable night for our group. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a unique night with a group of friends, family, or coworkers.

    When we got engaged in October of 2020, we knew we wanted to have a small intimate wedding and be able to do it in a way we felt would be safe. The staff at The Chef's Table, including Chef David and Secily were very understanding of this and we arranged to have the entirety of our event in their outdoor courtyard. As we got closer to the event, we were fortunate to have all of our guests vaccinated from COVID-19 and were able to shift our dinner to be inside, an adjustment which the team at The Chef's Table were more than happy to make. On our big day, the staff was flexible, fun, engaging, helpful and kind to both us (the groom and bride) and all of our guests. The food was incredible and the memories are as amazing as we could have hoped for. Thank you all for making our special day feel special, comfortable and delightful.

    What an interesting and unique place! My wife and I kept talking about how this would be the perfect location for a company party or a wedding reception. It is split up into multiple areas that really convey a sense of privacy. We ate in the soda shop (just the two of us, but it probably could have seated six) and it was like we were the only ones there - minus the occasional sounds from other groups elsewhere in the building. We even had our own personalized music - there was an Alexa unit that we could ask to play any kind of music we wanted. Service was very good and the wine pairings with dinner were exceptional - the wine went so well with the various courses. Great job there. Also really loved the explanation of the dishes and the pairings that came with each course. Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit of a mixed bag... First course was a sunchoke soup with sunchoke chips and a very generous serving of shaved truffles on top. It was decadent and fantastic and really raised our expectations for the dishes to come. The second course, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was a salad that was actually very good, but the smoked trout that I'm sure was intended to elevate the dish really just overpowered it. I was still tasting smoked trout a couple of hours later on the drive home. The next dish was much better. It was a pasta course with crispy mushrooms and prosciutto and pine nuts in a really good pomodoro sauce - and topped with Asiago cheese. Really tasty dish! The biggest disappointment of the night, though, was what should have been the star - short ribs with risotto. The risotto was terrific, very creamy and flavorful. There's no way to describe the short ribs, however, other than... tough. Amy commented that she'd never had short ribs that she had to saw through. Our experience has been that properly cooked short ribs are fall apart tender and we've never needed more than a fork for them. These, however, could definitely have used a steak knife. The chef had explained the days-long cooking process for this dish; marinating for so many hours, then hours of braising and finally more hours of sous vide cooking. Something somewhere must have gone wrong on this occasion, though. I can't imagine how the meat could have gone through that treatment without being incredibly tender - but it most definitely wasn't. Neither of us finished this dish - or really had any interest in taking it home with us when asked. The evening did end on a high note, however, with dessert. It was a salted caramel crème brulee and was delicious - sweet, creamy, with a great crust of caramelized sugar. Overall, I have to think that the short rib dish was just an outlier that, 99 times out of 100, would have been as good as the description of it made it sound. Still, it was such a letdown that I really can't give the Chef's Table the five stars that every other aspect of the evening deserves.

    Did you know this place existed? Hopefully after I write this review you will know about it and make your reservations ASAP. A friend treated us for the molecular gastronomy dinner (fancy for playing with chemicals and food). It was a Thursday evening so it was a small group - only 8 of us total so we definitely got a hands on experience. First, you can make sure any food allergies or special diets are accommodated prior to the event. We had some nut allergies and opted for a lower carb dinner. Starting out you are greeted by a special cocktail with some appetizers prior to the meal. The cocktails are very unique and creative. Ours used a special tea that turns into a beautiful blue color in the cocktail....absolutely delicious. Next you are invited into the kitchen wearing your apron because you will be cooking a bit Dana who has worked at Michelin rated restaurants will be your guide through the evening along with her staff. You can get as involved as you would like or simply watch - we chose to get our hands dirty. We used techniques like spherification, foams, reverse spherification and other techniques that were heavy on the xantham gum, agar agar, and other ingredients. We used sous vide which is a technique I adore. Many different ways of using molecular gastronomy which was cool. Dana is very down-to-earth and really is a joy to cook along side. She makes the experience a blast along with her team. After you cook you get to plate your own dishes for each course. The team will serve and pair the courses with different wines and cocktails. Some people had pretty plating while others could definitely use some help! All in we cooked three courses which was very filling. You have the option of taking home your leftovers because it is difficult to eat everything. I highly recommend this for a friend group outing or a work event. Trust me you won't be disappointed!!!!

    Wasn't sure what to expect at this private dining wine dinner. Everyone was greeted at the door. Unsure if that was due to Covid or just hospitality. We started at the bar with hand delivered appetizer plate. Not a lot of seating so standing for the hour or so was a little difficult if you have ailments. There were love seats available for a few but no one in our party utilized them. The table is set for the complete five course wine paired dining experience. Because I wasn't involved in the menu selection, unsure of the options. The asparagus soup was on point with just the right amount of velvety creamy taste and consistency. The salad included fresh smoked trout which I thought was a little salty which overpowered the taste of the fish. The pasta was in a creamy mascarpone sauce but grated cheese was not offered to top the pasta, which I thought was strange. The veal was kind of boring and lacking flavor without any spices whatsoever. Dessert fork so tiny and kind of difficult to consume sticky schaum torte. Coffee is quite "light" for true coffee Connoisseurs. Overall average experience for a near 4 hour meal.

    Fucking love this place…read more If there is a highly rated small plates place in a location we are visiting, you can count on us to find it. We walked literally thirty minutes to this place from our hotel. It was a lovely walk in early August. We had a 5:45pm reservation on a Thursday (we are old now) and we were seated immediately. Service was excellent. Ok so they have a fantastic cocktail menu. I appreciate any cocktail menu that is more complex than vodka and cranberry juice but this takes it to another level of creativity. I also like how they name them with numbers. It's so much easier to say "I'll have a 42" rather than "I will have a duperbeamerscicle". I started with an "88" with pisco, rose-poached strawberry, amontillado sherry, verjus, rose port, and pink peppercorn. Served in a highball glass and garnished with berries. Very refreshing. GF started with the "91" mezcal, passion fruit, poblano, pineapple, amaro, lime. Gorgeous and chic. Very strong, smoky flavor. When in Rome, so the cheese plate did not feel like an option. Four fantastic cheeses were served with very tasty candied nuts, some jam business, grapes, and some of the best bread I have had on a cheese plate. Thick, soft, and fluffy. Paired absolutely perfectly with cheese. Only complaint is that I wish there was more of it. I haven't had deviled eggs in a minute so I went wild and also had the chili crisp deviled eggs which were SPECTACULAR. I also got the Egyptian fried cauliflower which is served on a smear of harissa and lemon tahini. Very flavorful. Star of the show tbh was the tagliatelle with squash, tomato, these fried cheese crisps. The noodles were al dente and SO GOOD in such a wonderful sauce. GF also got the steak, she says "very good seasoning". I helped her out with the kimchi pancake. Wonderful. Such a great sauce. For our second round of dranks we both went with the "77" makrut lime vodka, tamarind, bird's eye chili, cilantro, lime, lemongrass. Very tamarind forward. Very unique. I can see why it's our server's favorite drink on the menu. The desserts looked really good (something with sticky rice I think it was a cocktail and a bread budding that looked fantastic) but we just weren't feeling it.

    We had a private dinner for Marcus hotels and resorts training in the dark room. It was a special…read moreexperience I would never trade for anything. The service was outstanding. The menu was 20/10, lots of options to choose from even with a large party and customized smaller menu you would find in a normal sit down restaurant. You enter The Dark Room from a bookcase next to the yellow neon GIGGLY sign on the second floor of the Saint Kate Hotel.

    We had Omakase in the Dark room dining experience just yesterday, November, 19th, 2025. What I want…read moreto say. The food was nice, right enough for dinner. Staff was not prepared at all, actually telling people the guy who usually does speech did not come and they do not know what to say actually. For any alcohol you will buy you will pay in addition which is fine BUT the price for that drink(s) will be surprising you a lot. For 5 sake drinks the bill was around $370. Last two glasses were having less sake than first glasses we were provided, probably because people who already drunk something would not notice the difference. It's ok to have expensive alcohol pairing with high end dinner but in this case the sake was very regular. By the way, at bar 10 steps away from the Dark room (same hotel, same floor, same the floor area) the same sake did cost $23 for two glasses. Well... I understand people try to run business and earn money but everything should not cross some decency borders. These guys did cross the line in my opinion. Alcohol prices are not mentioned in Menu by the way. I do not recommend this place not only due to drinks pricing policy but due to "ok" food/service/price ratio

    One of the best happy hour deals in town! Tuesday through Friday from 4-6pm, they offer $6 bites…read moreand $9 drinks. If it's still available, the Burger Au Poivre is a must-try. For only $6, they serve a full sized portion which is one of the best values on the menu and an absolute steal for the quality you receive. The burger comes with caramelized onions, American cheese, crispy onions, au poivre sauce, garlic-herb aioli on a sesame milk bun (Note: one order per guest). From the happy hour menu, I also ordered the Halibut Fish Fry and the Shrimp Cocktail. The Shrimp Cocktail had a sweet and chili cocktail vinaigrette, which I really enjoyed. From the dinner menu, I had the Kale Cashew Caesar, Lobster Pot Pie, and the Ora King Salmon. To my surprise, the star of the show was the Kale Cashew Caesar, which staff recommended. What made this dish so special was the generous mound of shaved Gran Moravia piled on top, complemented by lemon breadcrumbs. The combination and texture was so fun to eat. The Lobster Pot Pie is offered at market price ($55 when I went). They give you generous chunks of butter-poached lobster tails, seasonal vegetables, lobster cream in their truffle puff pastry. The Ora King Salmon was also delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly--light and moist. I enjoyed the black garlic gnocchi and the apple gastrique that came with this dish. I ended the night with their chai banana caramel creme brulee. I'll definitely be back for their happy hour and that Kale Cashew Caesar!

    A great experience at Third Coast Provisions for their two buck shuck Tuesday. I have been dying to…read moretry this place for so long and happy I finally got to! Can't beat the Tuesday $2 oysters, with a good selection of 3 to choose from. Delicious happy hour cocktails as well - the bartender was very sweet, and I was able to swap out the dirty gin with a dirty vodka but still have the happy hour special. The oysters and shrimp were so fresh. My friends got the $6 happy hour burger and MY GOODNESS was it huge, I couldn't believe that was only $6 for everything that came on it - onion rings and doused in sauce. Quiet, small area with cozy music.
