The Table

The Table Restaurant at the corner of Lincoln avenue and Willow Street in San Jose, Ca. offers interesting and flavorful food at reasonable prices. The dishes have a fascinating texture that compliments the flavor profile. The owners do seem to be passionate about serving rich tasting food in a pleasant and sophisticated environment. If they had more wines to choose from, this place would be in top ten places for dining in San Jose.

Came on a busy Weds night with 3 others. The establishment was fairly busy and staff was amicable, albeit the service time was a bit slow. Ambiance was nice and bathrooms clean! The drinks were pretty good - mezcal and sparkling rose. Cauliflower soup was delicious and paired well with the bread served. The main courses were okay at best, unfortunately. Pasta lacked a heavy protein like meat, duck breast and steak were okay but lacked sizzle (sauce), shrimp was good. The cornmeal fries were delicious. There were several items on the menu not available (couple salads and the impossible burger), a bit disappointing.

I went here for brunch around 11am on Monday and got seated right away. The hostess and servers were welcoming and attentive. I got the Chiquiles Rojos for Brunch and I couldn’t be any happier. The dish had a runny egg, which pairs perfectly with the avocado, braised pork, and cheese. Everything was seasoned to my liking.

I love this place for brunch! They have the best chilaquiles and are to die for. Plate so big, it feeds 2 or 3. Also, their bottomless mimosas are tasty and serve well for a good day time buzz! Oh, and service is always great! I would recommend booking ahead of time though, so you don’t have to wait too long.

This place was delicious! The egg Benedict I had was very simple but so good. The bread it came with made all the difference. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and it did not get sogy with all the sauce and yilk from the egg. The ham it came with was just so good. It was not salty but just right. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the best pancakes I've tasted. So rich in flavor but well balanced by lemon curd and berry jam on top.

We was there Friday night, so we expected some wait time. It was alright to get a table, it was about 15 minutes wait, but when we ordered food it took them full 50 minutes to prepare it. My food was great, I got pork chop with some veggies. They also have good drinks selection, I had great amber ale 🍺. Atmosphere inside was great, plenty of people, ok music. All waitstaff was somewhat creatively dressed, no boring uniforms for them.
