The Grateful Table
A Night to RememberWhat a night! The Grateful Table brought our restaurant community together for an unforgettable evening of Italian food, wine, Negronis, live music and plenty of heart.
Together, we raised $228,000 for Restaurants Care, providing a safety net for food and beverage workers facing unexpected hardship.
Guests also heard from Restaurants Care grant recipient Samantha, celebrated 2026 Heart of Hospitality Award recipient Brad Metzger, and enjoyed an incredible lineup of chefs and culinary partners. Thank you to everyone who made this night so special!
