When raising her own family, this gathering was equally important to Karen: no matter how busy they were with the family business, they had a long-term agreement to pause and gather around the table at dinner.

With their children now grown and raising families of their own, the Lewises still return to the table and talk for hours and hours...with all three generations gathering regularly at their growing family table.

“To me, The Table is an extension of our family tradition into the community. It's a larger space where more friends, family and loved ones can gather. My goal is for people to pause and connect while sharing very good food prepared some of the best chefs around,” she says.

“And when they leave, I want them to think ‘I can't wait to get back to The Table.’"
