Chef's Table - Stuart

My husband I haven eaten at the Chef's Table at least a dozen times and the food is always excellent. My husband is a foodie and a wine aficionado who loves the tasting menu and wine pairings. I appreciate how the menu is changed periodically. Some of my favorites are the Branzino, Tagliatelle Bolognese and Mexican street corn. The venue is clean and inviting, the waitstaff is friendly and professional. We would highly recommend this hidden gem, we always take our out of town guests here.

Ordered the chocolate cream pie for thanksgiving. I guess I should have asked more questions, because this is not what I think of when I think chocolate cream pie. It was definitely chocolate, too much chocolate. In addition to that, the filling was lopsided. I sure do hope I can find someone who likes chocolate enough to eat a few slices. I expected more for $30. Will not be back. Updated to add: I was not rude, I was in a hurry- like most people thanksgiving morning. I also left a 10 dollar cash tip and since I did pay in cash- not sure how you’re planning to refund me.

The Chef’s Table Steakhouse, Suntree, 7720 N Wickham Road, Melbourne, FL- 5-Stars Top 5 Alert! We have a new entrant in the Big Boy’s Top 5 Restaurants in Brevard, The Chef’s Table, self-described on Yelp as a “Prime Steakhouse that specializes in Angus Brand Prime Beef, fresh seafood and local produce.” Prior to visiting this Suntree establishment, I thought of David Dashi—executive chef and owner of Amici’s Italian Restaurant next door—as just another local restauranteur along the lines of Brano’s Italian Grill in Cocoa Beach, and Alfredo’s Paradiso Kitchen in Merritt Island, both of whom talk a good game, but sell poorly-prepared, low-quality ingredients for exorbitant prices. That said, I was promised by a prominent food purveyor that unlike Dashi’s other clip joints, food at The Chefs Table consists of only high-quality ingredients. They were not wrong. The fare here is top shelf and properly prepared. The Chef’s Table also offers a panoply of quality craft potables. Having fallen off the wagon last month, I ordered a Rye Manhattan cocktail. The Manhattan is a tricky drink, as the overuse of bitters can throw it off. However, this cocktail was lovingly prepared by Brevard County’s top waiter, David Denny, who was manning the bar that evening. I had requested this talented garçon as my server, but occupied as he was offering up laudable libations, our waiter for the evening ended up being Chad. What Chad lacked in charisma, he made up for in efficiency, knowledge, and exuberant attention to detail. The table started off with Fresh Burrata and Tuna Carpaccio, which produced an exquisite palate punch from the fried capers. Yes, you heard me correctly, fried capers. Absolute genius! For my entrees, I picked 12-ounce New York Strip, rare and the Pan-Seared Scallops served with Wild Mushroom Risotto. The bed of creamy risotto on which the scallops were layered was divine. The only weakness in this entire meal was the size of the scallops. For forty smackers, I want to see jumbo scallops. However, the preparation was on point with a crisp delicate crust. For sides, we ordered the Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Smoked Bacon, Fresh Creamed Spinach, and Oven-Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese. I am running out of space, so just let me say, “Bravo!” The Big Boy says, “If you are looking to have a special evening with a loved one—or can afford glorious dining every night—go to The Chef’s Table in Suntree!”

Pricey for dinner so be prepared. Excellent selection of wines, very nice. Food is creative and tasty. The staff is pretty incredible. Worth a visit for sure.
