The Baker's Table serves breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner including seasonal menus, handcrafted breads, espresso, and cocktails. When you go with a group, be sure to reserve the namesake of the eatery--a 25-year-old table that seats 16 people and, if it could talk, would share stories of its scars from its life in the kitchen of Jean Paul's Paradiso bakery in Anderson Township.
Chef David Willocks guides the restaurant on the principles of sustainability and community and prides himself on making everything from scratch. Inspiration for the menu comes from available local ingredients. The result is a menu that prizes simple, farm-to-table cuisine that changes with each season.
We agree with the voters in the USA Today list. Everything we've eaten from The Baker's Table is delicious...including the above mouth-watering lemon ricotta donuts! "Come have a seat at the table" soon and try them for yourself!
