Neighbors from near and far come to tuck into menu mainstays of fresh, handcrafted pastas such as Tabla's famous chard, ricotta, and egg yolk filled ravioli in an inventive poppy seed butter; families and friends also pop by toexpand their culinary knowledge with seasonally-driven dishes focused on a monthly theme, be that Moroccan cuisine or French Bistro fare.

We left the place very happy
by Snickerdoodle
We got the 3 course dinner for $24 and the wine pairing - everything we tried was wonderful. Delicious sweetbreads, mouth watering agnolotti, good wine. We are definitely going again.
- Pros: Good food, good wine

Good food - horrible manager/owner
by TheJenkins
My husband went to Tabla last night with a long time friend. When he came home he told me that he was excited about finding this wonderful restaurant with good food and a lovely ambience. He said all was well until he and his friend were concluding their meal. They both had paid separately with their respective credit cards. My husband and his friend always leave the tip in cash. Well the manager/owner came out and demanded to know if everything was ok. He was advised three separate times that everything was fine. finally the manager asked why no tip had been left. Excuse me??? Had he bothered to not ASSUME no tip was left and shut his big mouth he might have seen the money laying on the table for the tip. He then demanded my husband and his friend leave immediately and never return. Well I can assure you that will not be a problem - what an unprofessional immature restaurant owner. We will be sharing this incident with everyone we know.

A gem of a dinner.
by ratwood
My daughter is a student at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, CA. She came up for vacation over Christmas and was advised by one of her chef teachers to try dinner at Tabla. We made the trip on her last night in town. It was wonderful.
They have a great menu. Their $24 three course meal is one of the best bargains in town for those who want variety and great taste. Five of us had dinner and we all enjoyed ourselves. The beet salad was appreciated by three of us at the table (not me) and the truffles were enjoyed by all. I particularly enjoyed the wine list. It has good variety of region, quality and price. Almost anyone can find something to enjoy at a price that is fair. Their presentation was excellent. The service was great without being pretentious.
I will go again and anticipate another enjoyable evening. This is a real neighborhood gem. Go! Try it!

- Pros: Wonderful food, excellent service, fair price.
