I loved everything about this dining experience. From the long list of “wellness tonics” (read: amazing mocktails) to the focus on fresh, farm to table veggies and melt in your mouth proteins, Pharm Table was a ten out of ten. Our server Sofia was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, and the space was beautiful and perfect for a catch-up with my brother. I’ll definitely be dining here regularly!

The food was great and I loved everything except for the service. Our waiter was not attentive at all. I made a reservation indicating that we were celebrating an 88th birthday, and it wasn’t even acknowledged.
