After the surprising departure of chef Pedro Flores from The Table — he originated The Table’s Atlantic Rim cuisine in its previous incarnation — current owners Michael Stewart (717 South) and Linda and George Rahdert (the owners of the building The Table occupies) have brought in some local names to helm the kitchen at this downtown St. Pete restaurant.
Steven O’Brien, formerly of the TradeWinds, Saint Petersburg; Jay Ward, formerly of Mise en Place and Michael’s Grill, Tampa; and Antonio Guevara formerly of the Renaissance Vinoy and Snappers have joined Table’s new Chef corps.
The menu will stay the same, although The Table plans on adding new items based on the expertise of the new chefs. Full press release after the break.
