The Table At The H - Midland

5 stars for the ambience, service and presentation. And that is pretty much what you're paying more money for. 3 stars for the food and drink. Everything was bland. Like there's enough salt, but not really flavors. There are herb planters throughout the outdoor sitting area but I think they're just decoration. May be we just got all the wrong things (seafood platter, ribs, lobster sandwich) I liked the fries though. Portion is size is decent.

Very good service, ambience, and food. Our anniversary dinner started with a Singapore Sling for my wife and a Founders Porter on tap for me. Both were very good, and the S. Sling had top shelf liquor. Two kinds of bread rolls, a light and dark grain, were immediately served and both very good with the herb butter, 2nds on bread were quick. We ordered the Brussel sprout/fig/pork bits appetizer and we both loved it. It was a large portion for two people, and were probably the best Brussel sprouts I have had. Our dinner entrees were the crab cake and fish of the day. The crab cake came with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and we both thought we would get it again. My fish of the day was about a 5 oz filet of branzino (European bass) over small potatoes and tomato sauce with some spinach and cherry tomatoes. This was a good change from how I usually cook fish. For dessert we had the berry cake/berry sauce and a flourless chocolate torte with grand marnier and orange zest. Both were excellent and would get them again. To top it all off, they gave us complimentary sparkling wine for our anniversary. We will go back again soon!

We went for dinner, had the fries and shrimp cocktail for appetizer, wine and cider to drink. Elaine was a very friendly and helpful waitress. The drizzle on the fries was great, the deep fried banana peppers were absolutely delicious, the fries were ok, but I'm unfairly comparing the fries to Cafe Zinc's fries next door, which are addictively delicious. Shrimp cocktail was tasty, but the shrimp were not jumbo, which is what everyone assumes (incorrectly) that they will get when ordering shrimp cocktail. The drinks came from bottles and cans and were as good as hoped for. For the main course, we both had the pork chops, which were cooked as close to perfection as you can get, the glaze was delicious, the brussel sprouts were exquisitely seasoned and did not taste like burnt balsamic like most places serve. The potatoes were cooked very well and were consistent, but didn't offer pizzazz. That being said, they were a nice contrast to all of the flavors in the pork chop and seasoning in the brussel sprouts. ONe eighteen does generously provide complementary bread. The multiple flavors of the bread are not adventurous and happily not filling. The butter accompaniment is good, but for soft breads, a whipped butter is a better match. We shared a chocolate ganache tart for dessert. The ganache was done well, the crust was cooked just enough to be completely done, and two small unnecessary flavorless domes of whipped cream decorated the top. This was a delicious meal in a fantastic atmosphere (think mid-modern 1960's lodge bar/dining room) great service, and nice choices for a special night out.

Great service, good food and enjoyed the atmosphere. The wedge salad was very yummy, the brussel sprouts were very good, the shrimp/lobster roll was different. I was expecting a buttery goodness of flavors and warm but it more like a salad with Mayo base and celery and served cold. We will gladly come back again to try more items.

I don't write 5 star reviews often but our experience at Table deserves 5 stars. The setting is beautiful and romantic, with high ceilings and elegant décor. We received a friendly greeting from the hostess and were promptly seated. Our waiter was highly professional and friendly, and his descriptions of various dishes showed an intimate knowledge of the menu. We went with steaks as Table features prime steaks, and were very happy with our choices (Strip and Filet). The salads were wonderful I had a summer melon, cucumber, and avocado salad that was beautifully plated and picture worthy. My husband had cream of mushroom soup that was poured tableside into a bowl containing sautéed mushrooms and a cylinder of warm chicken liver mousse AWESOME!!!!!! The sides were excellent, in particular the fried potatoes with truffle oil and parmesan. My husband's carrot cake with cinnamon ice cream was wonderful. I must also mention an excellent selection of craft cocktails. We will definitely return the next time we are in Midland.
