Chef's Tasting Menu at Table 128

A Three-Course Seasonal Dinner with Optional Wine Pairings

Every Saturday at Table 128, we invite our guests to experience something unique — a one-night-only tasting menu that highlights the best of the season.

This week’s menu blends summer’s sunniest ingredients with bold, savory depth. From the southern charm of buttermilk-fried green tomatoes to the rich complexity of grilled lamb and fennel-braised pork belly, each course is designed to balance comfort and creativity. We’ll finish the evening on a playful note — a sweet corn ice cream sundae with vanilla pound cake and basil syrup.

With optional wine pairings to match, this three-course dinner offers a full expression of flavor, texture, and thoughtful technique — in a setting designed to bring people together.

The dinner is $58 per person, with optional wine pairings for a total of $91. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are always welcome as space allows.

From Chef Lynn Pritchard —

Each week, this menu is my favorite way to cook. It allows us to tell a story — about the ingredients that move us, the season that inspires us, and the kind of food that brings people around a table.

This Saturday, we’re digging into high-summer comfort: fried green tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and arugula, a beautifully grilled lamb rack paired with fennel-braised pork belly and a golden sweet corn fritter, and a dessert that celebrates summer’s bounty in a way that’s both nostalgic and unexpected.

We cook these menus to create connection — between the plate and the season, the kitchen and the table, the guest and the experience.

I hope you’ll join us this weekend.

— Chef Lynn and the Table 128 Team
