Central Table, a new, 10,000-square-foot restaurant at the Barnes-Jewish Center for Outpatient Health, is scheduled to open for dinner Friday, May 1, and for all three meals May 6.
A coffee shop at the site already has opened. Its hours are 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
A food hall modeled after food emporiums in New York and Los Angeles, Central Table will feature contemporary menus, distinct cooking stations and locally grown and produced ingredients when available.
During the day, Central Table will focus on convenience and efficiency for working professionals. At night, the tables will be set for dinner, and a full-service menu will be offered.
The restaurant will seat 200 people inside, including long tables for communal dining, private tables and seating at various cooking stations, such as the sushi bar. There also will be sidewalk seating for 75. The venue’s artisan market also will offer prepared foods to go.
As of May 6, the restaurant’s hours will be 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
