Description: Husband and Wife team Jacob and Alicia Sessoms have returned to the area from New York City where they trained in the restaurant business. They have created a truly "market-driven seasonal New American" restaurant here in downtown Asheville. With the help of several local artisans, they have created a rustically modern and hip atmosphere in their open, store-front space with bold colors and striking wood and steel contrasts. Jacob has been classically trained in French Pastry and Culinary Arts. He is joined in the open kitchen by another classically trained chef, Matthew Dawes. Alicia will be managing the formal yet comfortable service of the dining room, bar and wine list. Sit down at the mahogany and maple bar or one of the hand-made maple tabletops and watch Jacob and Matt's sagacious yet simple food fill the dining room. With a daily written moderately priced dinner menu and a $26 to $300 "Old-World" heavy wine list all the bases are covered for fine dining style cuisine.

We were in Asheville for Mothers Day and this was my wife's choice of venue for celebrating. The food, presentation, atmosphere and service were all homeruns. Our server recommended the hanger steak and it was exceptionally well prepared to medium rare. It was served with two green fried tomatoes and presented on a potato base--very enjoyable. Our daughter had the... More

This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The food was good but not great, especially given the price. Nice presentation, rather predictable pairings of flavors, nothing really stood out as wonderful. If you enjoy subtle flavors and do not like departures from what you'd expect of dishes you've had before, this fits the bill. The food was done well, the wait... More

My husband and I had dinner at Table and enjoyed our meal. The chef clearly likes to experiment with the dishes he creates. We tried a variety of dishes and some were great and a few were not. But we don't really want to knock the chef for his creativity; we just think some of his dishes may not appeal... More

What a San Francisco type restaurant right in the middle of Asheville! The fish soup was superb! My husband's trout was the best I've ever tasted! I had a great falafel. Our friends shared the ploughman's lunch for an appetizer, and loved it! Our waitress was helpful without being annoying. The décor was fun and they used great materials on... More

This is the best dinner thus far of our trip from DC to Charleston -- a beautifully thought-out set of dishes that stood on their own and yet blended into a delicious whole. The restaurant has a modern, spare feel to it -- window to the street, glass block wall on one side. A bit noisy, though they've tried to... More

Extremely knowledgable waitresses will guide you to the right choice for your palate. Everyting is extremely fresh and deliciously prepared. They use only local and fresh ingredients. We learnt that they do not even have a freezer in the property. Just this fact is enough to go and dine there. It is one of the best options in Asheville. We... More

My wife and I can't say enough good about our meal last night at the table. She had a salad and the scallops I had foie gras and the Porkchop. Just superb. We live here in Asheville and have had dinner at many if not all the top restaurants. You just can't beat the table. Service is with a smile,... More

If you enjoy fine dining I recommend Table while you're visiting in Asheville. I dined there for brunch and the food was awesome but the number one thing that would bring me back is the service, it was 5-star!

Table has an innovative menu, delicious treatment of shoulder of lamb. A very impressive wine list, with many seldom seen quality wines.

Whenever we visit Asheville, we always eat one or more meals at Table. (I checked "July '12" for the date of our visit, but that was just the most recent of several over the past few years.) Generally that is for dinner, though once we went for their Sunday brunch and were glad we did. Most of the food is... More
