History

Hallie Kuperman opened Tin Table in 2009, across from Century Ballroom, which she also opened in 1997. [13] [14] [15] Frank Wielgosiek was a chef, as of 2012–2022. [16] [17] Michael Seidel joined as a pastry chef in 2012, which also allowed him to be the cakemaker for Century Ballroom. [16] Donna Looney and Dan Wunderlich have also been chefs at Tin Table. [18] [19]

Like many restaurants, Tin Table closed was forced to close temporarily upon the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant re-opened with an updated menu in May 2020, and used a pulley system deliver food orders for pickup while maintaining social distance. [6] [7] [20] Tin Table also used Century Ballroom as a dining area compliant with distancing requirements. [21] [22] For Thanksgiving in 2020, a take-out menu included herb roasted turkey, buttermilk rolls, winter squash, and yams.

[24] Tin Table began hosting free monthly lunch meetups for LGBTQ seniors in 2021, as part of the DineTogether program. [17]

Novelist Kevin O'Brien has referenced Tin Table in his books Terrified (2011) and The Night She Disappeared (2021); in the latter, the restaurant is described as a "chic, semi-bohemian eatery in Seattle's trendy Pike/Pine neighborhood". [25] [26]

Reception

In 2009, Seattle Metropolitan 's Kathryn Robinson said she and her dining partner "were well-served by all manner of kindly hipsters, from the genuinely welcoming spiky-haired greeter at the door to the long-haired lovely who refilled our water glasses with nothin' but love". [27] Seattle Magazine called Tin Table "sleek" and "sexy" in 2011. [28] Julien Perry included the restaurants in Eater Seattle's 2021 list of the city's 23 best late night dining options, based on reader feedback. [29]
