From Chef Lynn Pritchard —
Each Saturday at Table 128, we open our doors — and our kitchen — to something a little more personal.
This week’s Chef’s Tasting Menu leans into the coastal flavors of the Mediterranean: dishes built around clean ingredients, vibrant simplicity, and thoughtful pairings.
We’ll start with grilled octopus served alongside gigante beans and confit tomato, tied together with a smoky paprika aioli. From there, a beautiful branzino — delicate and aromatic with lemon, fennel, and olive oil. And to finish, an indulgent little bomboloni — the Italian answer to the sugar doughnut — filled with pastry cream and paired with strawberries and chocolate ganache.
Whether you’ve joined us before or you’re tasting with us for the first time, I hope you’ll make a reservation, bring a friend, and let us share this weekend’s story with you.
We cook these menus to connect — to season, to community, to each other.
I hope to see you Saturday.
