Review & Rating
Cozy atmosphere, hospitable staff, amazing food. We had a wonderful dinner, and would like to go again.
Interesting combinations, (skate wings with sauerkraut) excellent renditions (glazed barely poached cranberries), great textures (carpaccio and corn nuts, mackerel and crispy rice).
The menu changes every so many days, so there will be always be something new to look forward to. The tasting menu has 2 options to choose from for each course. There is also an extensive wine list- the price per bottle were all above $60 so you should be prepared to splurge a little. completely justified when you notice all of the thoughtful details, dish presentations, inventive ingredients, and of course the stellar taste!
The format of this restaurant is prix fixe but with a choice of two dishes for each course, which should eliminate any diner anxiety about food aversions! The staff is genuinely enthusiastic, friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. The restaurant is intimate and chefs walk out of the open kitchen to deliver the small plates they prepare. The food is creative, expertly prepared and a true reflection of respects for ingredients. I can't think of a better example that the Boston food scene is alive and kicking. The food and the wine pairing are both great values. Kudos to the team
The creative and variable by season menu is matched to service that means you’ll love the pace of the meal and associated service almost as much as you’ll enjoy the great food served.
I would recommend booking ahead of time as it is a small restaurant with limited seats. You can either sit at the table or at the chef's counter and watch your food being prepared. This restaurant is a little out of the way, but it is totally worth the trek here. The menu changes every so many days, so there will be always be something new to look forward to. The tasting menu has 2 options to choose from for each course.
We've been back to the Table a couple more times since my initial and will have to say that my overall impression got better and better each time. I think the crew here has really gotten into their grove now. The menu consists of amuse bouche, then 4 courses with 2 choices each. As long as you don't have strict dietary restrictions, the obvious way to dine here is to share ALL the options. I have not had a less than delicious dish in my last 2 meals here, they are really fantastic in creativity, cooking technique and of course taste. I don't want to go into details of each dish because it changes so frequently, but one of my all time favorites was actually a POACHED VEAL "CAESAR" SALAD. The meat was just incredible! The menu continues to change and innovate on a monthly basis, so you can really come back all the time!
Chef Karl Dooley was definitely run the show, as we enjoy this creativity in the kitchen & squeeze precious time to small-chats with patrons. This whole experience with food, wines, and interaction were amazing! The restaurant can hold around 20 people for dining - it's intimate ! Make reservation in [way] advance & be prepared for amazement & wonders how good food can taste like.
Great atmosphere, fantastically tasty and well prepared food, and a staff who are clearly enthusiastic about their product. I especially liked the "all inclusive" concept. It feels very much like everyone involved gets a good deal out of it. The wine pairings were also a treat. Lots of different stuff with varietals from areas I hadn't tried or thought to pair with certain dishes before, which was fun!
Delicious food. Superb staff. And, my God, those desserts. Best wine pairing I've ever had (really added something to each dish). Will come back!
