Table & Main

Table & Main is first and foremost a place for people to come and enjoy themselves. Thats all any restaurant really is. No one goes out to eat to have a bad time. You come with friends, you eat great food, you have a bottle or two of wine, and you unplug from theworld at large. Even if for just those couple of hours between the appetizers and your after-dinner splash of bourbon, you surrender your troubles and enjoy the hospitality and attention of the restaurant. Your worries will still be there when you leave. But while youre here? Take a load off. With more than a decade of experience in the hospitality industry, Ryan Pernice demonstrates a passionate commitment to excellence as owner and operator of Table & Main | a southern tavern, a charming neighborhood restaurant situated in the heart of historic downtown Roswell, Ga. Setting a confident vision for his restaurants success, Pernice enjoys running a restaurant where creativity and business work hand-in-hand. Raised in Roswell and a proud graduate of Roswell High School, Pernice most recently helped open Maialino, a Roman-style trattoria in New York Citys Gramercy Park neighborhood from award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer of Union Square Hospitality Group. Lauded with top accolades by Forbes, Esquire Magazine, New York Magazine and The New York Times since its November 2009 debut, Maialino set a high standard for Pernices dream of opening his own restaurant. Prior to opening Maialino, Pernice gained valuable experience in restaurant consulting at Avero, LLC, an innovative business-intelligence company catering to the countrys top restaurateurs. After working in several local Roswell restaurant kitchens throughout high school, Pernice moved from Roswell to New York to attend Cornell Universitys School of Hotel Administration where he graduated with highest honors in 2007. He moved back to Roswell in February 2011 to launch Table & Main with executive chef Ted Lahey. Building on the restaurants hype
