| - I went to Table and Market on Thursday evening for the first time to enjoy a Girls Night, after hearing rave reviews about it for quite sometime. The restaurant is styled in the cozy, simplistic farmhouse style that is quite common these days and located right downtown in charming McAdenville. I was a little worried about parking since it's such a small downtown area, but it wasn't an issue at the time when I arrived and I snagged a spot right in front of the restaurant!
Up front is a small market area with some coolers containing primarily local cold products ranging from pimento cheese & some take home meals to glass bottled Sundrop & Cheerwine to some craft beer 6-packs. There are also a few shelves of other non-refrigerated products like cheese straws, Lusty Monk mustard (YUM!), snacks, and wines. A deli/butcher section is there, too, which boasts items ranging from sandwich meats to larger cuts of meat and seafood products that you can either purchase to prepare at home or can have prepared in the restaurant. The set-up is rather similar to what String Bean does in Belmont, but on a somewhat smaller scale.
The four of us met at 5:30 and were immediately seated. There were only a 2-3 other tables of folks there at that point. We each ordered a glass of wine or cocktail from the bar. I had a delicious Cab Sav that was generously poured for $9. I ordered salmon with sides of mac & cheese and asparagus. Two of the ladies ordered salmon patties that were out of the market rather than ordering from the menu with tater tots, asparagus, & corn on the cob. The fourth member of our party ordered the Italian sandwich. By the time our food arrived, nearly every table in the restaurant was filled!
Everyone seemed to be quite pleased with their meals, which arrived promptly and were all prepared just as we had ordered. Everything was quite good and portions were more than fair, but the mac and cheese was a little bland for my taste (to be fair, though, I'm a super snob when it comes to mac & cheese!) We finished off our meal by each ordering one of the 4 dessert options--red velvet cake, cheesecake, Snickers cake, and carrot cake--and sharing them all! The slices were gigantic and delicious! My bill at the end was right at $40 for my wine, salmon (with an extra side as it only comes with one and I wanted two since they had such tempting side offerings!), and my slice of cheesecake. That's definitely more than I would normally spend on dinner for one, but it was pretty fair for what all I ordered.
Everyone from the hostess to our (quite spunky & fun) waiter to the waitress who brought our food to the manager who stopped by our table was incredibly friendly & seemed quite dedicated to making sure our experience was enjoyable. We lingered at our table until nearly 8:00 since there didn't seem to be anyone waiting, and folks continued to stop by to check on us and were exceedingly friendly. Never once did I feel like we were being rushed out of the door (and we made sure to tip generously since we held the table for so long!) All in all, it was a pleasant dining experience from start to finish and I'll definitely be back!
