President's Pick of the Month - The Sound Table

I tried a couple of new places this month looking for something new, fresh, and exciting. Of all the places I tried, the only place that stood out was The Sound Table. From beginning to end it was the best dinner experience I have had in a while, and after you read this blog you will know why.

Formerly Over Da Edge, The Sound Table opened a month ago to rave reviews. Jeff Myers, the owner of Top Flr, partnered with DJ Karl Injex and Darren Carr to create a place that combines the three things they love most: music, quality cocktails and fantastic food. When I visited The Sound Table for the first time I was able to meet Karl Injex and talk about his vision for the restaurant. I was impressed with his passion for what he was doing and his laid-back cool demeanor. The second thing that impressed me was that one of my favorite mixologists, Navarro Carr (formerly of Beleza), was behind the bar. When I saw Navarro I knew that these guys were serious about their cocktails because you don’t find Navarro at your average bar.

The modern wooden furniture is a nice backdrop for the eclectic music that is different each night. The owners choose a variety of DJs during the week to display their love of good sounds. The two-story building includes an upstairs restaurant for the serious foodies and a downstairs bar for eating and drinking. So now let’s get to my favorite part … THE FOOD!

When I first looked at the menu I was intrigued by so many of the selections that it was hard to decide. My two friends and I decided to create a tapas like situation and order a few things and just taste everything. Here’s what we ordered: Peruvian Ceviche, Oaxacan Hangar Steak, Belgian Style Frites and the Chinese Ribs. I have to be honest- I don’t know what I loved most! The made to order ceviche is served deconstructed on the plate and has a fresh, sweet, citrus taste that I’m still dreaming about today. Then there are the ribs … the ribs … the ribs!! Although I am not a huge fan of pork ribs, I tried them after my friends insisted. So glad I did. These ribs melt in your mouth! I’m not going to go on and on and about them, I’m just going to say this. Five minutes after tasting the first rib, my friends and I placed an order for seconds. Need I say more??

The Sound Table represents what every good lounge should have: fabulous drinks, insanely good food, sounds to massage the ear and a cool unpretentious atmosphere. So check it out with friends or make it your first date spot, because this is one place you don’t want to miss!
