The servers are attentive. The octopus appetizer is very good but pricey for a small appetizer. The steak is the better entree. The venison is too tough and dry. I wish I had orders the trout – that looks pretty good. Overall, the ambiance and the service are very good. I want to try other small dishes. Perhaps I should have skipped the entree and only do the small dish and wine.

An amazing treat for the gastronomic senses! Art is food and food is art at Abstract Table. The service is excellent and let the staff guide your experience as they can help you find what you are looking for… Take your time and enjoy every bite, sip and slurp! Yummy!

I dined at Abstract Table on 7/9/22 at 8:30pm with my wife. This is pretty negative so I’ll just keep it to the facts so readers can make their own judgement, although keep in mind it’s not easy to put two toddlers to sleep, get a nanny, make a road trip to have a night out twice a year at a nice place. This was also my birthday. Restaurant isn’t accountable for those of course, Im just saying I’m not out to visit all restaurants and blast them online.

Food was incredible. I took my daughters for a daddy daughter dinner. We are regular fine diners and this is the first time the girls told me to post to let people know how good the food is. We started with the appetizers spicy scallop donut, ceviche fried soft shelled crab, cured and seared ocean trout. Our mains were Waygu beef with beet chips, ocean trout, quail with roasted blue corn grits . We all left happy. We’ve made reservations for next week already.

Lovely setting, innovative dishes but a bit of a miss on some key elements. Dishes have a critical lack of acidity. Smoked meats a bit too dry. Service was super pleasant but food came out very fast, transactional. Seafood cappuccino is a big highlight

Both the dining experience and the food are very disappointing for the price. There aren’t enough space heaters to keep everyone warm, water is served in plastic cups, the silverware came dirty, the seating is uncomfortable. Service was slow, and the food at best very bland. The trout was good, but the quail was dry, stunted, and poorly assorted. The scallops were borderline fresh. I am all for supporting local restaurants especially during the pandemic, but this experience was really terrible. To top it all off the portions are tiny for the price (had the flavors and combinations been intricate and well put together I wouldn’t mind but this wasn’t even the case).

Andrew and Duncan are pretty legit. Their creativity never seizes to amaze me. The compositions, flavors, colors and beauty of the dishes are some of the best around. Definitely punching above their price point. I’ve been dining with them since they started off in Oakland. Can’t recommend enough.
