| - I am writing this review basing on my experience on 06-15-2016.
This is my fouth time eating at Table 34.
Ambience: Even Starbucks will have better ambience than Table 34.
Service: Waitress are not properly trained and their Customer service is not fitting to the reputation of the restaurant. Fake smiles, Spilling drinks, Missing Politeness While approaching guests, No intro to their menu specials, High order taking time.
Food: We ordered Oven Roasted Half Duckling and Herb Roasted Chicken. Apple-Sage Dressing is mostly burnt. The food is certainly not to die for. I strongly think their food is priced high for its quality. i dont think the chef put his heart and soul into the food he prepares.
Professionalism: for the restaurant of this stature its minimum courtesy to speak in english while around clients, at one point i felt like i am in Roberto's or El Polo Loco. The guy at the front is flirting with one of the waitress pulling and pushing her infront of guests.

Edited on 06-24-2106: I have been getting so many comments about my "Courtesy to speak in english" comment. Want to give little clarification as some of the folks are trying to sidetrack my actual intention. i myself is not from this country, When i first came to US, i was been told not to talk in my mother tongue while around my clients as the other person might not understand what i am saying and it's disrespectful.
You might argue that you are talking about some topic impertinent to others. And hence you are conversing in your language. For example, you might be discussing about some spanish/chinese/german/french/other language movie that was released recently and feel others won't understand it. But how do you expect others to realize that you are talking about something like this? "especially when you stand right behind your clients".
When you speak in a foreign language, it is natural for others to feel that you are speaking in a language alien to them because you want to bad-mouth them! This might not be what your intentions are, but you cannot blame others for believing so. Worse, some words from your language might have a completely different meaning in some other language! When others hear and understand bits and pieces of your talk, they might construct a completely different story - something you are not talking about! Half-knowledge is more dangerous and harmful. You might be the cause for misunderstandings.
Hence, it is necessary to speak in English or any other common language when there is even one person who does not understand your language. When in doubt, just stick to English - you cannot go wrong with this! It might not come naturally to you, but you have to try and get used to it.

I have eaten at many reputable restaurants, table 34 falls at the bottom of that list. Food is not worth the money and Service is not upto the standards. Spend your hard earned money some place else.
