There was a large parking lot upon entering the shopping center where the Kitchen Table Restaurant is located. There were plenty of parking spots and the parking facility itself was clean. The restaurant is hidden behind a corner lot so it was a bit hard to find at first, but we found a large sign with an arrow leading us to the restaurant. There is outdoor seating waiting area as well as a patio dining area near the front. We walked inside and immediately saw the very modern and rustic décor and farm style dining tables. There is a small hostess stand to the right and we were seated immediately. There is also a small bakery counter to the left of the front doors and the aroma of fresh monkey bread and cinnamon rolls hits you instantly. I could not stop looking at all the nice wall and table décor. The ceiling was also tiled nicely, and the walls by the bathroom had a very modern paint design although, the restaurant itself is quite small. There were only about 8 tables with a larger family style farm table in the corner.
Food Evaluation
We ordered the Tacos Heuvos and the Granola Crusted French Toast. Presentation is everything and these plates did not disappoint. The presentation of the tacos with all the colorful notes from the eggs, avocado, potatoes, roasted red and green chilies, salsa, and white crème drizzle along with the smell of fresh corn tortillas and soft cooked scrambled eggs brought a smile to my face. First bite of the taco was warm with a crispy flakiness to the tortilla, the eggs were scrambled soft with pepper and salted well, the salsa was spicy but the cool and creaminess of the avocado made the taco balanced. The warm potatoes added a nice softness and the crème anglaise gave the taco a nice wetness. The french toast had a bakery smell to it with a hint of cinnamon. The french toast was cooked to a golden brown and the granola crusted edges looked crispy and warm. The french toast had whip cream on the top and the white whip cream was melting down the sides of the toast. There was also a creamy yellow drizzle of glaze that gave the presentation a nice touch. The french toast had a crispy yet moist texture and the middle was soft and spongy. The mixture of salt from the granola and the sweetness of the crème drizzle and whip cream gave the dish a good balance. The toast was warm and the cinnamon, salt, and crème gave the dish a great flavor when paired with the aroma of a mild bakery and sweet crème.
