Went for the Mother’s Day Brunch expecting an experience. I got an experience, though it was one of bewilderment that a place that looked to have so much potential could be so utterly terrible. We ordered the Garden Salad, Snow crab, steak and egg plate, along with a grilled cheese and spaghetti and meatball kids meal. First off, I must state that we made a reservation, and it was accepted, only to be texted back hours later that the reservation was cancelled because they were busy, thereby depriving us of a chance to make a reservation anywhere else. Nonetheless, we thought we’d go check the place out to see if they had space after all. The place was not busy at all. It was like 12:50pm and there were only like 3 other groups eating. The salad would have been good if there had been any salt in it. There wasn’t even a granule of salt anywhere in the dressing. Completely tasteless as a result. The salt in the smoked salmon wasn’t sufficient to make up for the complete lack of seasoning. The crab legs were good, as they should be, it is crab after all, but the black bean sauce again was flavorless and without any salt. we had to ask for soy sauce and garlic to add a bit of complementary flavor, otherwise it’s just like eating an unflavored boiled crab. I certainly didn’t expect caveman fare from Table 35. My wife had the steak which she said was well cooked and the sunnyside egg was well cooked, but again!!! no salt or pepper and otherwise insufficient seasoning. A shame, because the technique in cooking the steak was good as was the egg. I wonder if the cooks taste the food to ensure adequate seasoning before it goes out. I’d have given 2 stars if this was it. But sadly it was not. The biggest disappointment here was what passes for the kids meal. The spaghetti and meatball plate is a disgrace. The sauce is straight up ragu bottled sauce. The meatball is merely unseasoned unflavored ground meat rolled up into a ball, overcooked and dumped there with no seasoning whatsoever. The grilled cheese plate has Mcdonald type fries and the sandwich literally consisted of two pieces of texas toast from the grocery store with processed cheese placed between it. The one thing was that the spagetti sauce, ragu, was properly salted, since it wasn’t table 35 that made it. A chef’s restaurant serving such low quality fare is really disappointing. Needless to say, this mother’s day only served to raise my blood pressure(from anger, not from the salt, since there wasn’t any to be found in the whole restaurant apparently). I’ll not be making a second visit

We arrived at 7 with 4 adults and 3 children. It took 15 – 20 minutes to get our drinks and to put in appetizer order. We ordered shortly after. Our appetizers came out about 3 minutes before our food. The food was good but was poorly put together. I had a burger that was sloppy and very hard to eat. One of the children’s meal didn’t come out until about 5 minutes after everyone else’s. The staff was not very apologetic about the situation. I will not be going back, the service was poor along with the food and for a pretty high price.

Came here at about 7:30 on a Monday and the restaurant was about half full. Plenty of room at the bar, which is perfect for solo diners like me(here on business). Casual atmosphere. Great food! Great wine! I had the tenderloin and it was delicious and cooked to a perfect medium. Even the side of veggies was super tasty. Very friendly staff!

Had the folks in town. Very nice establishment but still kid friendly. Our waiter was very friendly and made some great recommendations. We started with fried artichoke hearts. Also had miso steak, wahoo, Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta, shrimp bruschetta and a kids chicken tenders. Service was fast and everything was cooked well. Will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.

If you miss and loved Old Hagatna Grill, check out Table 35. Table 35 knows how to do lamb right! Their Salmon Pasta is a must try also. Their food is always consistent which I think is a hard thing to find nowadays in many restaurants. Love the vibe and the staff.

I would like to compliment the servers from yesterday. They were very attentive, but the food was horrible. This restaurant use to be a favorite of ours. We would frequent it 1 – 2 times per week. Always spending $ 75 – 120 depending on our appetite. However something changed about a year ago. The original chef quit and a cook(not chef) was hired. The food deteriorated drastically. They have been through several cooks since then. My husband and I decided to give it sometime to get itself together. We decided yesterday was the day. Wow! Is all I can say. The apps, Escargot(served with a raw potato,) The crispy artichoke hearts served pushy, the chicken lettuce wraps served with funky tasting sauces. These use to be favorites of ours and I know how they should taste. My entrée lacked flavor and my husbands seafood salad had wilted romaine. I’m not sure why my husband wanted to top off that horrible meal with a desert, but he thought they could redeem themselves. Nope. We were served a chocolate cake with ice cream. The cake had nuts on the bottom that had gone bad. I suspect they made the cake a couple weeks ago and didn’t want to throw it out so they kept serving it. I asked my husband if he is finally able to let Table 35 go. He said ok. It’s sad because this use to be our go to restaurant. The food always tasted good. Unfortunately that is no longer the case.

Perfect experience. Drinks were fantastic, service was excellent, food was delicious! We will definitely be back. No more pricey than any other nice restaurant, and a lot better than any of them! We started with 2 appetizers, escargot & sneed tartar. For dinner we ordered the spaghetti & the fresh catch(marlin). It was a perfect amount of food and so good! We could have done only one appetizer, but we wanted to try both! The margarita’s were a hit with me too!

I was so excited to try this place! Once I did, the experience was disappointing. I had the NY strip and although it was seasoned superbly and the sauce was great, it was greatly undercooked to my requested doneness. My husband insisted I send it back, but I was convinced they’d then overcook it if I did. He had the lamb chops which we also undercooked. The appetizer we had, coconut fried mushrooms, seemed like it would’ve been good had it not been so heavily fried. Everything just seemed off. I did like the atmosphere. They had a live band and outdoor tables, so the vibe was right… but the food wasn’t. I doubt I give this restaurant another try.

Wow, not good. We showed up to a 730pm reservation for 8 people. Mains were finally served around 9pm and they were wrong. Steaks were cooked to the wrong doneness, potatoes were replaced by rice without an explanation, and half of our party’s food was cold. Service is inattentive. I couldn’t order another drink to save my life. The server had way too many tables to take care of properly. Never coming back. So many better restaurants nearby.

Table 35 is an excellent choice for a delicious dining experience. The prices are a little higher, but the quality more than makes up for it. The service is top-notch. I always love being able to a restaurant and talk to the waiter about the menu and their suggestions, and the recommendations my husband and I got were spot on. I ordered a steak that wasn’t technically on the menu but was highly recommended by the waiter, and it was cooked absolutely perfectly. Portion size is good, and not overwhelming. The bartender was knowledgeable and happy to have an in depth discussion on available drinks and recommendations as well. Save room for dessert — the cheesecake is amazing. Aside from the friendly server, the night we went there was live music. Despite being a small establishment, the music was not overwhelming, and really added to the atmosphere. Everyone we talked to who worked there was friendly, well-versed and made our visit wonderful. One of my favorite places to eat here on Guam, we’ll be back again and again!

writing this review for my co-workers. So, awhile back my co-workers used to eat here almost once a week, they loved it. Last time any of them went, the owner was away. Suffice it to say the managers came out to play. My co-workers were met with poor service, they had to stop other servers to get their drinks refilled, and even that took several requests. They told me the food was beyond horrible this last visit. They all started off with a wilted and soggy salad, and no show appetizers. The main course was even worse, stringy over done low quality steaks, rubbery seafood, and watered down drinks. To top it off the server tried to short change one of them $ 10 on their change back, and charge them for appetizers they never recieved. I hope the owner sees this and makes some changes to the managment.

If I could only use one word to describe my meal at Table 35, it would be extravagant. Prices for their food were a little on the high side but the food is well worth the price. I can honestly say it was the best meal I ever had while on Guam. Their Miso-rubbed NY Sirloin clearly rubbed my stomach that right way because it was me-so delicious.(Yeah, I had to go there. Total knee slap!). Okay, seriously the sirloin was cooked to perfection. It had cloves of garlic gently placed over the top of it, which kept the meat succulent. Additionally, I ordered their garlic mash potatoes as a side, which was phenomenal. Their vegetables were dipped in melted butter and were good as well. My wife ordered the catch of the day, which was Mahi-mahi. I was able to pry a couple of small pieces from her and it didn’t have a fishy kind of taste to it. It was actually rather crispy on the outside and light on the inside. The steamed rice on her plate also looked appealing; although, I was not able to try any of it. Their salmon spring roll appetizer was another exquisite item on their menu. These rolls are crispy and delicious but a little pricey, as mentioned earlier. The restaurant’s customer service was rather friendly too. We arrived 15 minutes prior to 5:30 and the restaurant took us in. The waitress was really friendly and extremely helpful. She was very patient with us while ordering and gave us some information about the dishes we selected. Additionally, the restaurant was clean but rather small. It had a small selection for seating on the first floor. The restaurant did contain a loft but it didn’t seem very big. I guess I would say that was my only gripe about the restaurant as a whole. Table 35 is clearly one of the best restaurants on Guam. Their quality of food is just astounding and their service was rather friendly. I would come back to this restaurant anytime.

Five stars again!!! I was out with my hubby tonight for dinner and ordered the clam chowder, grilled romaine salad, pan roasted salmon and miso steak for our entrée, then pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and best of all the taste of each dish matched the next. The portions were a good size so we could share with each other without feeling like we were going to go hungry. If you haven’t been here yet, your poor taste buds are missing out! A must order is the pumpkin cheesecake since it is only on their menu during this season. I personally think it should become a regular dessert item. It obliterates any of the pumpkin desserts I’ve had. It actually has enough pumpkin taste in the filling without an overkill on the sweetness or cinnamon. Texture was smooth and creamy! We will be back soon!

A group of 6 of my friends dined here for dinner. The atmosphere was electric. There was live music, dim lights, a fancy chandelier, and a decent sized bar. The waitstaff was very attentive and the band was amazing. Nice and smooth jazz. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta & a friend ordered the pan seared salmon entrée. I definitely preferred the salmon dish(with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted veggies) over the pasta, which didn’t seem like anything special. Table 35 is definitely a step up from your normal weekday dinners, but not too fancy/expensive to break the bank. The pasta was ~$ 16 and the seared salmon ~$ 24. We were seated right in front of the band(the bass player’s stand was inches away from one of our chair backs) which made conversation quite difficult. Other than that, it was a great experience and the pan seared salmon is a must try!

Three stars. Ambiance: bright, L shaped eating area with areas outside and a second level, clean tables and genuine servers. Food: salmon spring rolls are delicious! Coconut crusted portobello mushrooms are awesome with the complimenting dip. Miscellaneous: today’s special was kalbi short ribs. When we ordered they were out?!? We walked in when the restaurant opened for lunch and only 4 tables ordered before us. How can you run out of the special 15 minutes into the lunch service? Sarah’s meatloaf… It’s on the menu yet when we ordered they discontinued the dish. Lol. The server should have mentioned that. The food was great but the little things make my first experience dining there a a buzz kill. Would have had more stars had they been more prepared for my lunch visit. I can’t bring off island visitors there in the hopes that the menu is available. $ 4.00 for plain ice tea is a bit pricey. I could understand if their iced tea stood out apart from other restaurants but it doesn’t. I will try again and if still the same, I won’t be able to recommend the place.

The first time I went they ran out of cold bud light. Just a tip: if you’re in the restaurant business to make money, never run out of cold beer. However both times I’ve been the food was great. I prefer this place for lunch because it is more relaxed. When Old Hagatna Grill closed I was sad because I couldn’t get those damn mushrooms and when I found out Table 35 made them I was in heaven. If you go for nothing else, please just go for the portabellas!

I once saw a Unilocal list entitled«Dating My Husband» — the Unilocaler made a list of the couple’s favorite haunts prior to their engagement. If I had a similar list, Table 35 would be the restaurant that started everything off. Numero Uno. I had only heard of Table 35 from friends and hadn’t the occasion to go yet when my neighbor Jack asked me out on a date and took me there much to my surprise. I wasn’t nervous surprisingly, but I hoped the food was as good as everyone said it was and maybe the conversation would follow suit. I perused the lengthy wine list and decided upon the Rodney Strong Symmetry Merlot which I later found out was a test to see if I had any taste in wine. I passed. We chatted about our upbringings and goals in life, various things — it was a fun, easy repartee that carried over to the appetizers,(Coconut portabellas and beef tartar), throughout the main course(Coffee Skirt Steak and Garlic Noodles) and on to dessert, thai crème brulee apple pie a la mode as we so duly informed by our waitress, «is with ice cream.» Contented in the modern, loungey atmosphere, I was surprised how tasty the food was and how much I liked my date(the food and the man) thus far. We took our bottle of wine with us, I don’t think we were supposed to, but it was so good, the wine and the date, we didn’t want it to end. And it didn’t, I’m marrying him

The trendy, casually sophisticated interior and ambiance certainly sets Table 35 apart from other Guam restaurants, which I feel is a good thing. Thumbs up for more diverse restaurants on the island. Certainly not fast food; a great place to chill out with friends, family, or a date, slow down, have a nice long chat, and tuck in to a nice lunch or dinner. Don’t come here starving, especially when it’s crowded; service seemed to slow down a lot. I’ve been here once for lunch and once for dinner so far. Loved the sandwiches for lunch so much, I wish they had them for dinner, too! We got the pulled pork and salmon sandwiches. You can choose between fries or a salad as a side dish, and there’s also a pickle on the side. The clean presentation and delicious blends of textures and flavors certainly gave me the impression that our food had been handled with a little extra TLC. The roasted eggplant on the miso dressing was some of the best eggplant I’ve ever had at a restaurant; not too oily, but still cooked through and with a bit of crunch. We didn’t have a thing we didn’t enjoy, including the soup(cream of broccoli), appetizer(seared scallops), pasta, and chicken. Don’t come here expecting huge, Jamaican Grill-esque huge portions. Everyone in my party was sufficiently full, but those with huge appetites may want to include an appetizer and/or dessert in their meal. They also seem to have a kid’s menu. I saw a little girl digging into a grilled cheese sandwich and fries for dinner. I have to admit, I was a little jealous.

The dinner I had there last night was an absolute delight. It was my first visit and I’ve heard mixed reviews since they opened but I tried my best to not have any preconceived expectations. I started with the warm bean salad(green beans, cheese, olives) and the simple dish was so delicious I could have eaten a few more plates. A server approached and said they had accidentally made an extra order of salmon spring rolls and would we like to have them? Yes, please! The crispy spring rolls were tasty. My entrée was the pan roasted salmon with mashed potatoes. It’s so common for fish to be a bit overdone but the salmon was just perfect. For dessert I tried the calamansi cheesecake and it reminded me of key lime pie. I’m not a huge cheesecake fan but it was the one thing on the dessert menu that sounded like it had local flair. The restaurant is very pretty and is on the small side but I like that they haven’t crammed a bunch of tables on the floor to maximize seating. The dining room is casual, comfortable and nicely lit — ideal for a quiet dinner. At one point the music seemed too loud but someone turned the volume down after a while. Our server was attentive and friendly throughout the meal, although it took a while to find her once we were ready for our check(I’ve noticed this at a lot of restaurants – it’s like once you’re done and ready to go your server disappears). Dinner for two that consisted of one starter, two entrees, one dessert and an iced tea was about $ 70 with the added 10% service charge. It’s not a place I can really afford to dine at every week but I will definitely be back.
