Situated in the San Jose neighborhood of Willow Glen, The Table is a trendy neighborhood restaurant focused on seasonal ingredients, handcrafted cocktails, and progressive wines. The name is inspired by the idea of a table’s ability to bring together delicious food, fun drinks, and good people. The eatery offers brunch and dinner along with a Happy Hour menu including discounted drinks, featured cocktails, and small plates. For brunch, enjoy bottomless mimosas and the popular Lemon Ricotta Pancakes topped with a lemon curd whip and seasonal preserves. For dinner, the Beef Cheeks are a favorite – braised to perfection and served with mashed root vegetables and horseradish goat cheese.

The Table has an urban loft vibe with its distressed wood floors, high ceilings, and exposed ductwork. Abstract paintings adorn the walls along with wall murals of a giant pear and a wine bottle. The oversized windows make the space bright and inviting and the reclaimed wood tables balance out the stainless steel bar and open kitchen.
