oah! Talk about a complete transformation! Take a previously successful restaurant named Coal Mine Pizza, add a splashy dash of modern décor, a revamped service staff and kitchen crew, then garnish it with the effervescent energy of dynamic ownership, and you have the new Table 42! Spicy, fun and always busy, this all-new eatery in Royal Palm Place in Boca Raton has filled a local culinary niche to perfection. Restaurateur Gary Rack, founder of GR Restaurant Management Group, LLC, has graduated from award-winning pizza to award-winning Italian cuisine. The Boca Raton entrepreneur-turned-acclaimed restaurateur has revealed his latest dining concept, and it was an instant success!
Table 42's Owner Gary Rack
Designer Karen Hanlon, who created one of Fort Lauderdale’s beautiful new restaurants named YOLO, fashioned the modern ambiance of Table 42 along with owner Gary Rack. The “big city” appeal of Table 42, along with the excellent cuisine has been well received by Boca’s sophisticated dining crowd, and Gary and his team seems to know just how to keep them coming back for more.
My Celebrity Guest Curt Russell from WPLG TV and I visited Table 42 on Burger Night Wednesday and joined Gary Rack, his wife Videl for a fun dining experience. We sat at a giant round table right inside the front door that is actually table # 42! Gary explains that he wanted to create an atmosphere that is not only a fun place to come, but where excellent food is created from scratch. The vibe is hip, the food and in house promotions imaginative, and there is more than 100 bottles of wine on the list! I was excited to hear about Table 42’s new chef, formerly of Devito’s on South Beach! Executive Chef Matthew Danaher is an up and coming South Florida chef to be reckoned with, and before the night was through we would experience his brilliant gastronomic skills on each and every plate of food we tasted this night.
Big fans of $5.00 Burger Night displaying their creations
Even though it was Burger Night and the kitchen prefers that customers stick to this concept on Wednesdays, Curtis and I started out with an Arugula salad that included goat cheese, pine nuts, oranges and golden raisins. It was truly excellent, with the spicy arugula complimenting the creamy goat cheese and fruits perfectly!
We also tasted Table 42’s calamari, with peppers, balsamic and torn basil…amazing! The sauce was made with the peppers for a natural sweetness! We of course would be having a burger as well! As Curtis and I were looking over the Create Your Own Burger checklist card before us, I could not help but notice all the beautiful people coming through the front door! Burger Night at Table 42 is a big hit in the area, and has become a gathering place for the young and the beautiful! Table 42 was packed!
This was my burger for the night! Check out the amazing sweet potato fries
Curtis and I “created our own burgers” by checking off our favorite ingredients on a checklist card supplied to you, and turning it into your server. This process was fun in itself, and the accoutrements to choose from are classy and abundant. Starting with The Bakery Bun – Sesame or No Bun! Just check the box and move on! Temperature is next, then From the Farm – Shaved lettuce, avocado, bacon, Beefsteak tomato, Vidalia onions, fried egg, sautéed baby Portabellas, organic baby arugula and “42” caramelized onions. Sauces and Spreads – mayo, Dijon mustard, “42” sauce, herb pesto, truffle aioli, house ketchup and crispy caper aioli. Cheese – Fresh Mozzarella, aged provolone, goat cheese, gorgonzola or smoked mozzarella. Final section to choose from is Sides - “42” spiced French Fries, sweet potato fries, small house salad or truffle Reggiano fries...wow! The selections are amazing, and it only takes a few minutes to choose and decide, which is a lot of fun too! There are additional charges to add these items, but we are talking $1.50 and $1.00! Go crazy!
Other great items on the regular menu include coal oven fired pizzas such as Spinach, smoked mozzarella and prosciutto or Spicy Pesto, kalamata olives and sausage just to name two of many choices. There is also an award winning Truffle Pizza Pie made with shaved black truffles, scallions, truffle oil and Alfredo sauce! This baby costs a “pretty penny”, but it is surprisingly popular! Why not go for a high quality wine from Table 42’s extensive wine list as well and make it a special night!
Table 42's Giani Meatball with herbed ricotta
Something extraordinary is happening every night at Table 42. Check out Thursday’s Ladies Night, when all ladies enjoy 2 for 1 drinks between 5:00 – 9:00 PM. Big Night Fridays features Seafood Specials all night and Wine Down Saturdays are killer, featuring half price bottles of wine available. On Sundays kids eat for free! There are some amazing desserts at Table 42, such as a Giant Chocolate Cake and whipped Cream! This baby looks like a chocolate cinder block, and serves as many people as you have at the table! Table 42’s Canoli topped with chocolate shavings is amazing and their Tiramisu is a must!

Make plans to visit Table 42 soon, and bring family and friends! This restaurant is kid-friendly but designed for sophisticated adults too! Make sure you tell them that Tom House from Dinnerreviews.com© sent you.
