Table 50 restaurant in Roanoke, Va offers delicious fare in a relaxed urban inspired environment. The cooper topped tables, dark oak paneled walls, and large inviting bar make for a fabulous evening of dining and drinks with friends. Our table of four shared the Pulled Pork BBQ in puff pastry with goat cheese and smoked corn appetizer ($8.00) which made for a wonderful start to the evening meal. The Mixed Baby Green House Salad with miso vinaigrette ($6.00) was quite tasty and my friends’ Herb Baked Goat Cheese Salad with Spiced Nuts, Apples, and Dried Cherries ($7.00) was equally satisfying. For the main course I ordered Blackened "Ahi" Tuna over Andouille Sausage Risotto with Crawfish Cream Sauce and Market Vegetables ($24.00) which was absolutely the best prepared and finest tasting Ahi that I’ve enjoyed in a very long time. My companions ordered Seared Atlantic Salmon over Fingerling Potatoes, Haricot Verts and Chicago Butter Sauce ($21), Certified Angus 14oz. N.Y. Strip Steak, Sauteed Asparagus and Gauefrette Potatoes ($26) and Maytag Blue Filet Mignon with Sauce Bordelaise, Haricot Verts and Apple Potato Gratin ($30) which received rave reviews from all diners. While we were tempted by the desserts our appetizer, salads, and main course meals were so generously portioned that we couldn’t eat another bite. The only improvement for the meal was the rather mediocre loaf of sour dough bread that lacked the type of inspiration that was clearly evident in the rest of the prepared food.
