Just confirmed that The Table, one of my favorite restaurants in Sarasota, is planning on giving birth to a twin in downtown St. Pete. The new place will be on the 500 block of Central — although I haven't yet driven by to see what space they're taking over.
Anyone not familiar with the "Atlantic rim" cuisine Rafael Manzano and Pedro Flores should check out The Table immediately. For those of you in the Bay area, it's worth a drive down to SRQ so you can be prepared for The Table's St. Pete debut in 3-5 months.
