A few years, a wedding and a baby girl later and The Wooden Table underground dinners are back. Food is still consuming us. We still have a passion for bringing thoughtful, fun food experiences to, you, our faithful diners. We also have a huge backlog of menu ideas to bring to life. You can find available dates and booking information …
Fall can be fun too
This week’s menu bids a fond farewell to our fave season. Herbs, charred flavors of the grill and sweet end of summer fruits make appearances. Looking forward to having a great group of eaters tonight at The Wooden Table.
Heartbreak on a Plate II – First Date!
Tired of Hallmark sponsored gestures of love? Did you just Google the history of Valentine’s Day and now you’re feeling a little jaded? Or maybe you’re just tired of mainstream menus and hard to get reservations. We’re surely not a fan of any of that, which is why 2 years ago we chose Valentine’s Day as our very first dinner …
Chill out.
Happy New Year Everyone! As always, our latest menu is inspired by our experiences and as of late we’ve been experiencing a cold and rainy winter here in San Jose. Which makes for brisk hikes into foggy forests, full of young sprouts, interesting mushrooms and nicely moistened trails. It also means a craving for warm flavors, hot soups and cozy …
Aloha like a caveman.
So I’ve been reading up on this Paleolithic stuff and I guess we’re not as evolved as we think we are. But don’t worry, that’s never stopped me from making tasty food before. Lots of research went into this one. A little bit of a double theme going on here, a Hawaiian flavored Paleo meal, we had to draw a …
Clove Love
Growing up, the smell of garlic frying up was THE smell of dinner being cooked. To this day the aroma of fresh garlic sizzling gives me the warm fuzzies.

Don’t trip, it’s just Fall.
2 blogs ago was a Winter menu, the last blog was a Summer one, missed Spring (a damn shame), and here we are today with our Autumnal inspired BBQ(ish) offering. Lots of fun stuff happening this week at The Wooden Table, faux smoke (watch for pictures of this, they’ll get posted I promise) , a halo-halo that would make my …
SUMMER!
Let’s see here how do we do this? Ah here we go . . . “Tilt the head back and lift the chin. Pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second.” Time to breathe some life back into this blog. Have I used …
Brrrrrrr
Well here we are . . . December. It’s been awhile since I’ve written to you, my fanatical food friends. But things have definitely kept rolling here at The Wooden Table, still cranking out the (sometimes overly) satisfied customers. A menu or two might be missing from the site and those shall ever remain the notorious lost menus of The …
Ferran Adria Speaks
Fans on our facebook page will have seen that The Wooden Table recently made a trip up to The Castro to see revolutionary chef and all around culinary galactus, Ferran Adria. He spoke about creativity, the future of El Bulli Foundation, and shifting food paradigms. Please believe that we’ll definitely be thinking about food differently from now on. The Wooden …
