What’s Next?

For nearly four decades, The Joshua Wilton House has been a place where friends gathered, milestones were celebrated, and memories were made around the table.

Table 1888 honors the legacy of one of the Shenandoah Valley’s most cherished dining destinations while introducing a fresh vision for the future—one rooted in exceptional hospitality, thoughtfully crafted food and drink, and a deep appreciation for our local community.

Inspired by French culinary traditions and the warmth of Virginia hospitality, Table 1888 will offer refined yet approachable dining, an extensive wine program, handcrafted cocktails, and welcoming spaces designed for both everyday gatherings and special occasions.

We are proud to carry this landmark forward and create a place where new memories can be made for years to come.

Our Workplace Philosophy

At Table 1888, we believe hospitality is not transactional. We strive to create experiences that feel welcoming, memorable, and effortlessly gracious. Every member of our team contributes to that mission.

We believe great food begins with great fundamentals. We value consistency over ego, teamwork over individual recognition, and a relentless commitment to improvement. We take our craft seriously, but we also believe that kitchens should be places where people learn, grow, and enjoy coming to work.

We believe great restaurants are built by people who genuinely care for guests, their teammates, and their craft. We are building a team of professionals who care deeply about quality, hospitality, and supporting one another.
