Led by Executive Chef
and Owner Bill Knapp, Table D'Hote is among the most elite and coveted culinary
destinations of Manhattan's prestigious Upper East side. Reminiscent of a
French countryside in ambiance paired with locally sourced ingredients that
entice guests to return again and again, Table D'Hote is truly an undiscovered
gem to those that have not yet started to frequent this venue. Bill graduated
from The Culinary Institute of America in 1994 and has worked at several
established restaurants in New York City including The "21" Club,
Patroon, and Bryant Park Grill, before making his way to Danny Meyers and Tom
Colicchio's famed Gramercy Tavern. In the fall of 2003, Bill accepted the
position of Chef de Cuisine at Tom Colicchio's Craft Restaurant and later joined
the team at Taste Catering on New York 's West Side . After a few years, he was sought after to take
the position as Executive Banquet Chef at The Loeb Central
Park Boathouse. All of this culinary expertise evolved through
each of these experiences truly shines at Table D'Hote, Bill's own creation
today, coming up on its one-year anniversary. On September 9th, 2011, Bill
re-opened Table d'Hote in New York
City , at 44
East 92nd Street , a well-respected establishment
opened and operated since 1978 by two fabulous people, Vivek Bandhu and Lauri
Gibson. Whether you are indulging in the crabcakes, grass-fed steak or the
decadent desserts (the blueberry peach tarte is divine!), Table D'Hote boasts a
menu that includes the finest delights to please everyone. By executing great
dishes with a seasonally inspired menu and maintaining a subtle ambiance, Bill
impresses all that travel from near and far with his extensive diverse New York
experience, creative approaches, desire, and passion to sourcing only the best
ingredients available to culminate in a truly unparalleled dining experience.
