Let’s start with the most basic thing here: this is a special occasion place. It is not Olive Garden. It is not even a nice restaurant. This is REALLY nice place meant for anniversary dinners, huge job promotion celebrations, mega big B-Days, that really special...date night, or something like that. Now if you don’t understand what that means, here it is in plain English: you’re gonna pay a lot of money for a really good meal without screaming kids or otherwise obnoxious guests. This is white table cloth and the place settings arranged perfectly – including a pallet cleanser spoon. That means some would call it “snooty” while others would call it fine dining, and I prefer the latter because that is what you’re gonna get here. The menu is seasonal and prix fixe, so expect $200-$400 for the evening depending on the wine you choose. Reservations are required. And precisely because it is a really nice place, dress accordingly – no shorts or flip flops. Business casual is appropriate but a jacket and tie for men would not be too much if you just wanted to. Dress to respect the food being served, the work of the chefs, and the other guests with whom you’re sharing a couple of hours enjoying an excellent meal. When you enter at 7PM (that’s opening time) there are 6 tables plus a one larger table in the middle of the seating area, thus the name Six Tables (the larger middle table is for the obvious larger party of 8 but it is a stepchild, I suppose, to the other 6 tables). Each table is designed for 2 people but there was at least one table where 4 guests were seated. You begin with an appetizer of small bites and a sparkling wine. Small bites. Lots of flavor. The chef-owners (Tom and Jenny) come out and then explain a little about themselves and the meal before heading back to the kitchen to begin the platings. Jenny comes out often to explain the courses, answer questions, and such. The server – yes, server singular – is good at her craft, knows how to run a service and engages the guests. You may choose wine by the glass or bottle or even choose a flight of wines, one glass for each course selected by the chefs. The wine list was not overwhelmingly large but certainly large enough for the most choosey wine lover, or as my wife calls me, wine SNOB. Yeah, I suppose I am but I have other vices and character flaws that are far worse, so there’s that. After the small bites appetizer comes the soup. I had the lobster bisque and it was wonderful: I took each spoonful slowly and deliberately, enjoying the full flavor, resting maybe 30 seconds between each spoonful to get the full effect. It was my favorite part of the meal, along with the freshly made bread. My wife had the carrot ginger soup and it, too, was good. I did expect one choice to be a cold offering but I was not disappointed in the least to have to warm soups, even in the FL summer. Then came the salad; nothing special but very fresh and done well. The pallet cleanser was a raspberry lemon sorbet that was danged tasty. There were 4 choices for the main course. My wife had the grouper that was prepared nicely with veggies and sweet potato. I had the tenderloin – medium rare – with the mashed potatoes, mushrooms and veggies. Excellent. Seriously good. Did I mention the lobster bisque was something I’m going to dream about tonight? For dessert I had the chocolate peanut butter tart while my wife had the champagne sabayon with berries. Now, we’re not dessert people so don’t take this as if we didn’t enjoy the desserts, because we did. However, dessert is not a course where we ever want to stand up and give fist bumps to the chef. Good, yes, but I would have taken another bowl of lobster bisque and not complained in the least. I do want to mention the music that was being played: loved it. I looked back over the list of songs my phone said were played and it was an eclectic collection of Sinatra and Billy Joel (lots of and lots of those two!), some Eagles, Michael Buble, Phil Collins, Dean Martin, Bob Seagar, Elton John, Tom Petty, Peter Frampton, Beatles, and other Old Standards. I was diggin’ the music but my wife wasn’t all that thrilled with it – she’s just wrong. The lobster bisque was amazingly good. My wife wanted the lighting to be a tad brighter. Whatever. I didn’t think it was a problem. One negative: I have a pet peeve about light bulbs – yes, light bulbs. I always take special notice of fixtures with blown bulbs because it shows even the smallest detail is important. Yep. I counted 2 blown bulbs in the chandeliers out of, what, 50 bulbs? That’s 4%. Not a big deal to anyone else on this planet plus three other solar systems but my OCD couldn’t stop turning my attention to that small, missed detail. You really need to get the lobster bisque and savor every drop. Last thing: this place did a good job with the entire presentation. They have worked really hard at giving their absolute best to the guests and it shows. I have no problem telling anyone who is in the area, or has that special occasion, to make that reservation waaaay in advance to experience fine dining done right. Bravo Zulu, Tom and Jenny! Y’all also have a gem in Torrie (spelling?). Lobster bisque is top notch, btw.More
