Thanks for the early heads up, Maria! We are going to do the "tour" starting with Parallax right in my neighborhood on the 13th, then Cowell and Hubbard on 16th, L'Albatros on the 18th and Chinato on the 20th. Although Table 45 is wonderful, I just have never been able to get past the hotel setting. Silly, I know...

That's really wonderful! But just so you know, Table 45’s cuisine is truly excellent! It’s a fun stop on week nights – always bustling with activity.

Another FYI: Table 45 and Cowell & Hubbard are the only Zack Bruell restaurants open on Sundays. So if anyone wants to start their Zack Bruell Restaurant week on a Sunday, they should start at one of these two places! :)
