The Art Of The Table in Seattle

[Smarmotron]

I had the opportunity to attend a dinner at Art Of The Table, a new supper club that opened up a few months ago in Wallingford. I was there for Cajun and Jazz night. I'm not going to write a full review, but here are my observations...

- the chef and the manager, Dustin and Laurie, spend a lot of time with the guests, talking about the food, the wine, Dustin's crazy life as a chef, etc. They're very interesting.

- the food was fantastic. I'm probably not as much of a foodie type as a lot of you guys, but the four course meal with amuse bouche was really tasty. The andouille sausage and chicken gumbo, and the blackened ling cod with vegetables, were my favorites.

- dessert was incredible too. Homemde bourbon ice cream and chocolate pecan pie.

A great meal, a decent price, and interesting conversation with a bunch of strangers...everyone in the area should try it once. Dustin is just getting the place off the ground, and he's really relying on word of mouth for now. So give it a try and if you like it, get the word out.

Second that, Art of the Table is wonderful. I went about a month or so ago with a few other eGulleteers and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
