A very new restaurant arrived in South Chandler/Ocotillo area near my home in the space formerly housing Sautee Restaurant.
A friend and I went for lunch today. The decor is modern and fun without being cold. A nice outdoor patio with a really cool fireplace is a great feature for cool evenings. Booths were comfortable and a variety of other seating options were offered including high tops.
All the tableware is unique and attractive. Looks like the water glasses are sourced locally from DiSciacca in Chandler, but that's a guess.
Focaccia bread and water were brought to the table quickly with a delicious, herb-y compound butter.
We shared a wine poached pear rocket salad with candied pecans and fried feta. Yum! Dressing was the perfect tang to compliment along with a very decent glass of Petite Sirah. The wine list was interesting if not large. Tastes were available before purchase.
We also shared a brie and blackberry flatbread which was topped with the same rocket salad greens with balsamic dressing. I think this menu item was just ok. The greens didn't really add to the flatbread with that particular combination of ingredients. I will try their garden flatbread next time.
We also shared a dessert which was a cheesecake duo; one side was mandarin orange flavored and the other side was plain served in a bed of raspberry creme. The orange side was dense but still moist and the orange flavor was delightful. The other side was just dense and rather dry. Coffee was adequately strong and hot.
From their Chamber of Commerce entry: "Table 49 is a contemporary American restaurant on the cutting edge of ethnic cuisine fusion. Our menu is comprised of a vast array of modern style techniques and flavors resulting in one of a kind signature dishes that are sure to impress. Table 49 is beautifully designed around soft lighting, large leather booths, and a spectacular bar that encompass our family style Chefs table. Perfect for any occasion, Table 49 is your destination for comfort and style."
We will definitely give this place another try.
