Wow! This was the best culinary experience I've had in years. We are visiting from Ohio, but will be back every time we're in town.

The Table Bistro is incredibly cozy, situated on the bottom story of a small apartment complex and run by a Korean couple who split the duties of cooking and servicing customers. The meals are well priced ($10-20 range for most items), and the staff was so friendly. Don't pay attention to the folks who give them low stars because their hours are weird-- their hours are on Google, Yelp, etc., so it's not the The Table Bistro's fault that these folks showed up when they were closed. I only gave a 4 instead of 5 stars because my chicken pesto pasta (pictured) was a little flavorless, which is disappointing for a pesto based dish. But my Girlfriend's Salmon dish was amazing so I'm giving the kitchen the benefit of the doubt that my dish was an exception. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

This is truly a hidden gem which we found by serendipity. It has some odd hours and was open on Friday for dinner only from 5pm-6:30pm. The food and service were excellent! It's a two person operation; husband is the chef and wife the server! Clean and simple ambience. I may grab some lunch before I leave Athens tomorrow!

I was intrigued because the average rating is so high. So I decided to try this place out tonight. It was kind of hard to find. It's on the side of a building between buildings that looks like an apartment complex. But the interior looks much more like a nice cafe than a restaurant. I got the Crab stuffed Blackened Salmon and I loved it. It is a little spicy, so definitely stay away if you can't handle a bit of heat. It had a rice pilaf, a rich creamy sauce, and a medley of many vegetables on top that I couldn't tell you what they were (because they were all piled on top of each other). I think there was plantains on top (slightly sweet) and plaintain chips. Veggies that I recognized was some kind of charred pepper, tomatoes, and microgreens/herbs. I think it was a pretty decent portion size. The salmon and crab were hidden under a lot, but they were obviously the star of the show taste-wise. We also got the special soup and the squash casserole. These were mediocre and I wouldn't recommend it. The soup was a green-ish color and was sweet. It kind of tasted like butternut squash soup but it didn't look like it. The squash casserole had an array of veggies, but the squash itself was quite bland and overdone. Not that much flavor so I would say you can skip this. When we came in, it was really quiet and only one other table was there. The decor is cute and the fresh flowers are a nice touch. If you like some heat and seafood, you can't go wrong with the Crab stuffed blackened salmon.

This place is such a gourmet gem! The food is beautifully presented and you can tell they take time in preparing each one of their dishes. The service is also great! The server was sweet, accommodating and attentive. Overall A+

I was hesitant to post this review because I want to keep this nice little bistro a secret! The Crab Stuffed Blackened Salmon was exactly what I was expecting. Very flavorful. Met a friend for lunch on a rainy day. The service was great, the prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. This place gets 5 stars from me.

Very original plating, I really like the setting and vibe of the space. Food could have been seasoned a little better, but overall pretty good.

Lunch special!

Is there an outdoor eating area and if so can I bring my dog?

There are a few outside tables. I'm sure if those are available you could sit out there with your dog. But also it's super hot and I'm not sure if they are in the shade. The concrete might be too hot for your pup. I would go it alone first to scope… 

Does The Table serve alcohol? Haven't seen or heard anything about a drink menu so I've been curious!

Nope

During the last year of the five-and-a-half decades my mother lived in Athens, she survived a…read moreserious medical crisis and endured the sale of her longtime home and preparations for a move to my brother's city. A chaotic period, and when my brother and/or I were in town to help out with these exhausting and time-consuming tasks, finding quick, reasonably priced, somewhat healthy, and hopefully tasty food was challenging indeed. I unfortunately didn't discover Maepole until 2025, but it nicely ticked off those boxes. Maepole is basically a "fast casual," Southern-inflected "bowl" place, with a much heavier emphasis on the nutritious and fresh than is typical of traditional Southern cooking. You start with a base, just like at Chipotle or Cava--greens, sweet potatoes, or quinoa, etc.--and top with veggies or salads, and, if you prefer a protein, you can add chicken, pork, or tofu. Or you can just go full-on veggie plate. Top with a flavorful sauce; my favorites were the spicy avocado and lemon herb. My general impression of the food quality was that it wasn't quite at the five-star level some of the time--veggies weren't always cooked to perfection, for instance--but the general experience and value, as well as the bold flavors, argue for bumping this rating up to five stars. Plus, every time I think about Maepole, I sure wish my current city had an option like it.

I was a little concerned about dining out in Athens…read moreduring a busy Saturday afternoon but fortunately the N Chase location is perfectly tucked away, distant enough from the downtown area. I was 3rd in line and pleasantly surprised + pleased. Think Chipotle meets Chopt (the salad bar ). Fresh ingredients. LOTS of mix and match options OR preset menu items. And just as many drink options, including locally made kombucha. I ordered the winter salad and low country plates. With the exception of the turmeric ginger dressing (a little too zesty for me) and the hoppin John salad (hoppin John OR salad ... not both ) EVERYTHING was delicious. I enjoyed the salad way more than I thought I would. The spicy avocado dressing is YUMMY! The greens were cooked to perfection - another shocker. The edamame crunch, tofu and crunchies were just as delicious. I will visit the Atlanta location just to try the fritters! A wonderfully healthy and scrumptious delight !

I wanted a raw experience, not influenced by others. So I was a bit deflated when we walked in and it was counter-order setup but that's okay. There seemed to be only one person working. She was really nice and helpful but surely busy, which was fine, but as we were leaving the crowd started hitting and I wondered how well she could manage that solo. I could be wrong though, someone may have been in back and I just couldn't see. I ordered the Overhard Egg, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Melted Cheddar, Mayo Waffle with Spiced Tots (nice). Hubby ordered the Super Cluck with Maple Glazed Chicken, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Cheddar, Sriracha Mayo, Sunny-Side Up Egg. Mine was good, his was super yummy, just the right amount of heat and sweetness. Oh! I also gotta mention the REAL Vermont Maple Syrup. That's very much appreciated over corn syrup garbage. Nice touch! We both had regular coffees. I would've liked a decaf option, since I'm a bit intolerant to caffeine but I can drink it. The coffee had good flavor. I think maybe having the creamers in disposable individual ramekins is probably just extra work if not for to-go orders but that's whatever. It's a cool place and I can see why it's popular. The food hits and if I lived closer we'd probably frequent this spot. Worth checking out if you haven't been.

As it is, I'd still give them a 4.75 stars for such a lovely experience. I would still say you NEED to eat here if you are here on Sunday! Just be warned to wear not slip shoes! They actually take reservations for Sunday brunch, so that's already a plus. When we were running a bit late, Indie was truly a joy to talk with, and she made the change without a hiccup! Once we got there, she was even more welcoming and got us seated in no time. Before I explain my concern, let me make it clear that we will certainly be back when we visit Athens! The location is so close to the UGA campus it's a no-brainer. There was plenty of street parking around, including handicap, so it's easy to get to. While the front entrance is almost hilariously plain and non-descript, the interior is really beautiful!! I felt like we walked into a The Great Gatsby. My daughter was tickled by the ever-changing ticker sign over the bar. Everyone loved the stained glass and deep colors. Even the bathrooms were like being at Grand Central Station in the 20's. And the food!!! We tried all the classic Southern Soul Food staples, and they did NOT disappoint! From the fried green tomatoes, to the shrimp & grits, to an enormous French Toast, they put their foot in it!! Bravo! I have to note that the fried chicken is truly crave-able--crispy, juicy, & flavorful!! The fried green tomatoes were cornbread crispy and delicious! Fair warning that they do have a bit of a bite to them, so check with your littles. We appreciated that they offered egg whites in any dish with eggs, but I wish there was a non-pork substitute for some dishes. There's a vegan selection, but it's just not the same, so we didn't try it. Maybe next time! I lived my goat cheese omelette, and the portion was big enough I got to take some home with me. Just wonderful food all around. The beignets were divine! And it ended up being my daughter's birthday dessert/app. And then we just kept ordering more. Cannot say enough great things about our server--and my mind goes blank because I wish I could remember her name!! She was great the entire time for our whole 9-top group. She kept the waters filled, she cleared plates along the way, she was welcoming and engaging, and we just all enjoyed being here because of it. While we waited for some of our party to arrive, we were directed to a beautiful lobby adjacent to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the floor was exceptionally slippery--like an oily kind of slippery that is not conducive to an 88-year-old using a walker kind of slippery. I was a little worried for my F & MIL. The elevator is so far from where we needed to be that it wasn't worth the risk, so we chose to go up the 2 steps at the front entrance. Luckily for us, everyone was able to move around with care this time.

Highly Recommended, Unfortunately Not Impressed…read more I visited Trappeze Pub after it came highly recommended, so I was looking forward to having a good experience. Unfortunately, my visit was disappointing for several reasons. I asked to sit outside because the weather was really nice. However, after being seated, I waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take my order which turned out to be the same male host that greeted me. My server came to take my order and said I forgot about you. What made it more frustrating was that the restaurant was not particularly busy around 2:00 PM. Once my order was taken, I had to ask for basic things such as cutlery and more water. I ordered a burger and fries, and typically the server will ask how I would like the burger cooked, but that question was never asked. After finishing my meal, I eventually had to get up and go inside to pay my tab because my server never returned to the table. The food itself was fine, but the overall service and attention to detail really took away from the experience. When a restaurant comes highly recommended, expectations are naturally higher, and unfortunately, this visit did not live up to them. I hope this was simply an off day, but based on my experience, I left feeling underwhelmed.
