Six tables, one seating a night at 7pm sharp, and a five-course dinner at $129 a head: Six Tables a Restaurant has run on those terms in downtown Boca Raton since 2004. Chef-proprietors Tom and Jenny Finn took it over and kept the formula, a slow two-and-a-half-hour dinner that opens with sparkling wine and hors d'oeuvres before the herb-roasted rack of lamb or the roast beef tenderloin. It sits at 112 NE 2nd Street in Mizner Plaza, behind burgundy velvet curtains, with Sinatra on low.
The Kitchen
Six Tables a Restaurant opened in 2004 and has kept the same conceit ever since: six tables, a single 7pm seating, and one five-course prix fixe a night. Chef-proprietors Tom and Jenny Finn run it as a husband-and-wife kitchen; Tom trained at the Baltimore International Culinary College and spent years as executive sous chef at Jonathan's Landing before taking the room on. The cooking is classic continental, plated tableside and paced over two and a half to three hours.
Dinner is $129 a guest and begins with a glass of sparkling wine and a round of hors d'oeuvres, then moves through soup and salad to the main event: a choice of herb-roasted rack of lamb, roast beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, pan-seared duck breast or the catch of the day. The address is 112 NE 2nd Street, in Mizner Plaza in downtown Boca Raton, a short walk from Mizner Park. Dinner is served only Thursday through Saturday, at one 7pm seating, so the entire room eats together. It has been a downtown Boca fixture for two decades, recommended for anniversaries and proposals.
The Room
The room is exactly six tables, lit by dimmed chandeliers, with burgundy velvet curtains and Sinatra playing low. Because everyone sits at 7pm and there is only one seating, the space never feels rushed or crowded; the noise level stays at quiet conversation all night. Tables are well separated for privacy, the lighting is candle-low, and the service is formal and personal, often from the Finns themselves. Dress is smart; most guests treat it as an occasion and arrive in jackets or dresses. With six tables only, booking well ahead is essential, especially for weekend nights.
Best for Proposal
Book Six Tables for a proposal because the room is built for a private, unhurried evening. There are only six tables, so the space feels like a reservation made for two; the single 7pm seating means no turn pressure and no waiters hovering to flip the table; and the long five-course arc gives you a natural window to ask the question over dessert. Tell the Finns in advance and they will help with the timing. Reserve weeks ahead for a weekend.

Not for a casual or spontaneous dinner. There is one 7pm seating, the meal runs close to three hours, and the whole room eats the same five courses together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Six Tables worth it?
Yes, if you want an intimate, occasion-driven dinner rather than a flexible night out. Six Tables a Restaurant has run six tables and a single 7pm seating in downtown Boca Raton since 2004, with chef-proprietors Tom and Jenny Finn cooking a five-course prix fixe at $129 a head. The draw is the privacy and the pacing as much as the rack of lamb. Book weeks ahead.

Hard, by design. With only six tables and one 7pm seating Thursday through Saturday, the room holds a few dozen guests a week, so weekends and holidays book out weeks ahead.

The restaurant is at 112 NE 2nd Street in downtown Boca Raton.
