Setting a New "Table"

The evolution of La Table on Post Oak continues with the arrival of James Friedberg, formally of Le Cirque and Gilt in New York. He’s taken the reins as executive chef at Uptown’s La Table, debuting new menus for lunch, dinner and brunch.

Downstairs, at the relaxed Marché, new offerings include roasted veggie cassolette with poached egg and halibut accompanied with rice pilaf, while the more formal Château upstairs boasts tableside-prepared classics like the dover sole meuniére, flown in fresh from France daily and fileted in the dining room.

Glimpse the new iteration this weekend at brunch with Santa (mimosas included!), Saturday and Sunday from 11am-3pm. Or make a reservation for New Year’s Eve, when Friedberg will be cooking up decadent year-end specialties, like ricotta dumplings filled with black truffle, and the Baba Au Rhum for dessert: rum-soaked cake with pastry cream and seasonal fruit.

Leadership in Action: CEO Theresa Roemer Credits Mother, Mentors and Mindset for Accomplishments

Leadership in Action: CEO Theresa Roemer Credits Mother, Mentors and Mindset for Accomplishments

How did you get to where you are today? My journey to where I am today is built on a foundation of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Every step along the way, I faced obstacles, but I approached each one with determination and a “never give up” mindset. Instead of being discouraged by challenges, I used them as opportunities to grow and improve. Consistency was key—I committed to showing up and giving my best effort every day. I also learned not to take “no” as a final answer. Instead, I saw it as a chance to push harder, adapt, and find another way forward. It’s this combination of persistence, resilience, and unwavering focus that has brought me to where I am today.
