With receiving the 2024 Michelin Bib Gourmand, I was particularly excited to experience Table & Main during my visit back home over the holidays. Although the experience was nice, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed with my meal here.
Pros:
- There was thoughtful attentiveness to members of our party with allergies: gluten & dairy free.
- The restaurant is incredibly charming and sweet, set in an historic southern home.
- Appetizer: Fancy Cornbread Bites & Honey Butter - amazing!
- Appetizer: Hogs ‘n Quilts - super delicious!
- Appetizer: Cornbread Panzella Salad- fun & different!
- Main: Fried Chicken- highly celebrated by the members of our party who ate it.
- Dessert: Sorbet - tasty!
Mids:
- Cocktails were decent. With a more elevated cocktail menu, this element of the dining experience could really sing.
- Main: Market Fish- Stripped Bass, was okay. It felt like this dish was missing a sauce or final component to bring it all together.
- In general, our server was experienced and helpful. At the start of our meal, she felt a bit curt and uninviting but became a bit warmer throughout our time.
Cons:
- We were sat at a large table in an area of the restaurant abutting the kitchen and doors leading outside. This caused constant commotion all around our table for the duration of our meal. It was quite cold for my Mom who sat closest to the door. This could easily be fixed by hanging curtains. And, I wished there was some sort of barrier between our table and the kitchen doors.
- Lighting felt overly bright. I desired for the environment to feel more cozy.
- My partner ordered a side of mashed potatoes. When his main dish was served, they gave him mac & cheese instead. Even when he pointed this out, the waiter never corrected this mistake.
- When dessert was served to half of our party, we had no utensils. We waited a while but no one brought spoons or anything. So, I ended up grabbing rolled up forks in napkins sitting nearby. Then halfway through their dessert, our waiter returned to take dessert orders for the other half of our party.
I think this restaurant does a lovely job of capturing southern charm & classic southern dishes. With a few tweaks, I would love to come back and experience it again. Overall, our party of 6 rated the restaurant a 6.5/10.
Both the gluten free pizza was loaded with toppings and the 3 different kinds we ordered were amazing. The Regular pizzas also did not disappoint! Will definitely be returning.
It was our first time eating here. We came because my friend who I went with recommended it, and honestly, 1920 Tavern did not disappoint. The food was soooo good, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating! It was my birthday, and when they brought out the desserts, they had brought it out with a candle and even got us an extra candle for the little cupcake my friend gifted me. Definitely a memorable experience, and I want to thank Reggie and Lucas who went out of their way to make sure we were set with everything and had a great time. There was also another staff member who we spoke with about the menu with, but I can't recall if he ever told us his name. But yes, I absolutely recommend if anyone is on the fence about coming here, DO IT! For anyone with gluten sesitivities, the menu is labeled to let you know what's safe to eat as well as the staff just being knowledgeable about their menu. We had gotten the smoked salmon crostinis as our appetizer. For our main course, we had the braised boneless short ribs, lamb chops, and seared ahi tuna as well as two additional sides. I can appreciate a place that compliments me whenever I order my lamb rare, haha. For dessert, we ordered bread pudding, the peanut butter cake with bacon pieces, and MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, the creme brulee. The caramelized sugar with the berry compote was absolutely everything! Everything was cooked to perfection, and I honestly can't wait to come back for another event or even just a casual dinner with friends or family. Thank you so much for the experience!
Great place. Staff was great and there to help. They even was great about making sure my Gluten-free wife was taken care of and made her food after cleaning up the area. A must eat at place and have a few drinks 🍸 😋
We did their restaurant week menu and the food was amazing! They have gluten free options for each course and Michael our server was so good! He was busy but we never felt ignored.
I came and asked for some gluten free options and the waiter and waitress were very accommodating with recommendations. I had the Branzino fisherman style with potatoes and chimichurri sauce, it was very well seasoned. I didn’t want to stop eating the potatoes because I love potatoes anyway ( but mixed with the sauce was tooo good). I would go back. The bar is also decorated with nice paintings and it’s makes it’s interesting while eating.
