    Our server Jacob was amazing, personable, attentive and very much on his game. The food, drinks and wine were delicious and the staff was perfect. Having owned 4 restaurants, I am picky but Table 26 has it down! Love it!

    Overall lovely afternoon lunch in the pop up in downtown West Palm Beach. Food was delicious and service was great. We moved tables several times due to the sun and luckily it was quiet so they did not mind. Fun place to sit and watch the people enjoying the pop-up. Was fairly quiet while we were there.

    While this place is often packed at lunch, the dinner time experience is a bit more subdued, the vibe more laid back. It gives you the opportunity to enjoy the food and the atmosphere with the lights turned down low. Food was terrific and interesting. Service great too. Thanks to all.

    If you are searching for a unique, delicious and extraordinary dining experience - this hits all the marks. This was our second time dining with Jacob and Nadia, and round 2 catapulted us more deeply in love with their entire operation. Attention to detail is beyond exceptional here. They have every single nuance of the experience dialed - this is a multi-sensory journey - the visual quality of the room, the dark walls, perfect lighting and gorgeous plating and utensil selection - the playlist coming out of the speakers, which is raised and lowered at the perfect times, coinciding with the introduction of each course and pairing....the rich and delicious flavors, textures and adventure that is Jacob's food - perfectly paired with the incredibly interesting and educational journey that is Nadias liquid orchestra. These two are beyond, beyond. I will also give an extra mention to the incredibly thoughtful non alcoholic beverage pairing service offered - as a fellow sober human walking this life surrounded by alcoholic intoxication - I am extremely proud of Jacob for his sobriety and the bold stand he has taken to curate and provide this non alcoholic option - which I might add, is the best collection of non alcoholic beverages to ever hit my lips. Beyond 5 stars, so grateful we found you all - of course we will be back!
