Putting It on the Table

The Table Opens

Running from work to Wine & Spirits is de rigueur for your BYO lifestyle. (Unfortunately, it also accounts for the only exercise you do all day. Thanks, Boss Man.)

Avoid the liquor store detour when you dine at The Table, a new BYO that employs vino delivery service from Blue Mountain Vineyards. Your server presents a wine list, you place an order, and the wine is brought right to the table (eliminating the need to down your flask of Jack in the bathroom).

The plush banquettes, inviting gold-textured walls, and classic dishes (blue crab corn chowder, filet au poivre, apple pie with cinnamon ice cream) will surely make The Table your favorite haunt. And on that note, the owner will personally store all your favorite aperitifs, wines, or dessert salutes for subsequent appearances.

Basically, it’s brilliant.

And it just might change your after-work routine.
