Table 128

I've started this letter more times than I care to admit.

Every version began with the same sentence:

"Table 128 is closing."

But every time I wrote those words, I realized they weren't really the story I wanted to tell.

After fifteen years, our final service at Table 128 will be Wednesday, July 29, 2026.

This restaurant has given me more than I could ever put into a Facebook post. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to cook for you, celebrate with you, grieve with you, and watch so many of your stories unfold around our tables.

Rather than trying to explain it here, I've written a letter.

If Table 128 has ever been part of your life—even just once—I hope you'll take a few minutes to read it.

Thank you for allowing me to do what I love for the past fifteen years.

With gratitude,

Chef Lynn Pritchard

A Letter from Chef Lynn Pritchard | Table 128 — Table 128 After fifteen unforgettable years, Chef Lynn Pritchard reflects on the closing of Table 128, the meaning of hospitality, and the people who made the restaurant more than a place to dine. Read his personal farewell letter.

Last Saturday’s tasting ended with Strawberries & Champagne — strawberry terrine, whipped crème fraîche, mint, and strawberry compote.

Every Saturday at Table 128, our Chef’s Tasting Menu changes completely — a new three-course menu created for one night only by Chef Lynn and our culinary team.

This Saturday’s menu finishes with a classic éclair layered with chocolate glaze and orange pastry cream.

Three courses. One night only.

Saturday, May 2
From 5 PM until sold out
