The Table

Nicest servers ever. It is a peaceful place. The food is well prepared, looks good, smells good, tastes good.

A clean, lovely space. Everyone was extremely welcoming and service was spot on. I had the Strawberry-Asparagus salad (strawberries, asparagus, and manchego cheese on local lettuces in strawberry vinaigrette with chia seeds), along with a cup of the soup of the day, which was a rich, thick Gumbo.Honestly my only complaint is the hours. They are only open M-F from 11-3. I was only able to come here because I met a client nearby and it just so happened to wrap up at noon. Please consider offering a weekend day, Table, I think you will find many of us wage slaves who are M-F workers would love a chance to come here and try your amazing food! I know I am looking forward to the next weekday I have off!

I stopped in here today for lunch. I got a smoked chicken sandwich with no onions and unfortunately it had onions on it.The sandwich itself was $8 for the chicken sandwich: it was decent nothing great . I waited in line for a good amount of time and finally got my to go order. The ambiance is cool but the area is not good. Be careful going into the place and getting your food

It's certainly inexpensive and you do get a lot of food for the money. Service is always friendly and the food is pretty good. To be honest I am not a big fan of the tomato dill soup although it's a huge portion for what you pay for. The sandwiches are always good and the Parmesan French fries are exceptional. Hint: you can easily split a sandwich and an order of fries and still be full. Do note that it's street parking only but that has rarely been an issue.

The Table, located in Louisville's Portland neighborhood, has a rustic/eclectic vibe with natural textures, exposed brick and ceilings, black and white photos, Mason jar glasses, and one of the most unique restaurant concepts in Louisville. We walked in after 2:30 this afternoon (they close at 3:00) and were warmly welcomed and guided to a table. It was still bustling, but not loud. Let's Stay Together, by Al Green, was playing. They promptly provided a high chair, coloring books, and crayons for my children. This is undoubtedly a family-friendly atmosphere. The service is some of the warmest I've encountered in any area restaurant.The Table has seasonal menus offering locally grown food that is accessible to everyone. This inclusive concept allows patrons to pay it forward by volunteering with time and services as payment (pay what you can), paying the suggested meal price (plus some if desired), or by volunteering your time to "pay" for a neighbor to eat. We ordered the following:Meatloaf Sliders- (2) Sandwichmeatloaf topped with pimento cheese, house pickles and greens on brioche slider bunsParmesan FriesA (side-size) Watermelon Salad basil watermelon, cucumber, red onions, peppered farmer's cheese, local lettuces, cilantro lime vinaigrette (also available in a larger portion)A (side-size) Summer Squash Salad charred squash, sun-dried tomatoes, sunflower seeds on fresh greens with roasted eggplant dressing (also available in a larger portion)And TWO Kids' Classic Grilled Cheese w/ a side of fruit. Today's fruit was oranges. It's hard not to get caught up in the seemingly rare concept of The Table, but it does not diminish what they offer. Our family of four, at full price, spent $20.14 on lunch (before tip). Wenda, our server, was exceptional, friendly, and personable. She spoke kindly to our children. She encouraged us to take our time, despite the restaurant closing. Every employee we encountered was hospitable. The ambiance was uplifting. Our meal was a crowd-pleaser. I appreciate the availability of healthy food options at cost below that of a fast food drive-thru. I often see inquiries about the best places to get salads...take note. The roasted eggplant dressing was extraordinary. The combination of watermelon, basil, and peppered farmer's cheese, tasted fresh and refined. The pimento cheese and house pickles on the meatloaf were exceptional. I found myself dabbing my fries in the roasted eggplant dressing as to not miss a drop. If you work downtown, or if you don't, this social entrepreneurship (non-profit) offers guests an opportunity to dine with a purpose. If you're a Louisvillian, patronizing The Table is a chance to give love and build relationships in our community. As an added bonus, the food is phenomenal and served at a value that makes giving back easy. Raising your standard of living while simultaneously raising your standard of giving? That's a win-win situation in my book.

Omg, new favorite lunch spot for sure. I've been wanting to try this place for over 2 years but the days/hours of operation always didn't seem to be right when I was thinking about it. But today I got there and holy crap I have been missing out. I ordered the Veggie Pepperoni sandwich and the watermelon salad. They were both sooooo good. The smoked vegan pepperoni is so flavorful, the bread so soft and the red pepper cashew cheese so smooth and creamy. The watermelon salad was so fresh and crisp with an amazing flavorful dressing. And to top it all off when I went inside to pickup I was greeted with amazing smiling faces and great customer service! That's not something you see too many places anymore. Awesome place! Can't wait to try more!

We decided to get out of our daily routine and try something new. We drove to Portland not knowing what to expect and ....1. The food is creative and delicious. We had the smoked chicken and BLT along with a watermelon and eggplant salads. All four were excellent. The menu changes frequently. The prices are very reasonable.2. The decor is really hip. I had expected a more diner type of place and I was pleasantly surprised.3. Service is fun. They want you to enjoy the food. They check in regularly. They do not accept tips. In lieu of tips you can make a donation to their mission.They have a wonderful mission, they won't turn someone away due to lack of funds.

DDD stop with a pay what you can approach. As a social worker I just love this and tipped big today as all tips are donations to the non-profit that go to help many. Food was good. Service was good. Not open often so we were glad to catch it open today.

This place is nicely tucked away in Portland. Very nice place on the inside and I love its cause.The service was fast and easy. The menu is not very big so shouldn't take you long to pick. It doesn't take them long to bring the food out. If you are looking for a lunch spot to go to that is quick, this is it. I ordered the smoked chicken sandwich that is on the menu all the time. Some of the other items change out with the season. The chicken sandwich was on jalapeñoBread with a bacon jam and ranch on the sandwich. The sandwich was very good. The jam was not a strong flavor so was surprised by that. If I didn't know it was there, I wouldn't have known because it didn't taste like much. I also got the Parmesan fries. I will definitely be back. Service was great, fast, great prices and decent prices. For 2 people, we got tea, sandwich and fries, it was only around $27 as suggested on the menu. That's not bad and it was quality food.

Everything we had was delicious. Smoked chicken sandwich, watermelon salad, fries and chips. Staff was so friendly! Quickly was seated for our group of 12. Highly recommend.
