Why The Unlisted Table?

Not every memorable meal happens in a restaurant.

Some of the most memorable meals are shared around private tables—surrounded by friends, family, and guests you choose.

The Unlisted Table offers private, chef-curated dining experiences designed exclusively for your gathering.

Thoughtful menus, seasonal ingredients, attentive service, and an evening shaped entirely around your table.

Serving the Kentucky Bluegrass Region

We offer in-home dining experiences across:

Lexington • Nicholasville • Versailles • Midway • Georgetown • Frankfort • Wilmore • Winchester

(Travel fees may apply depending on distance.)

The table is decorated with candles in glass holders, tall candles in brass holders, and small flower arrangements with yellow flowers. A white table runner runs down the center of the table. The room has wood-paneled walls, framed artwork, and windows that let in natural light.

Introducing Supper at Saxony:

A Farm Dinner Series

There’s something special about sitting down to a meal shaped by the season it’s grown in.

This year, we’re partnering with Saxony Farm to host a series of farm dinners that bring people together around thoughtful, multi-course menus inspired by what’s at its peak. Each gathering is designed to feel grounded, welcoming, and deeply connected to place.

Join us for our spring, summer, and harvest dinners.

A Thoughtfully Prepared Evening at Your Table

Your home becomes the setting for an unforgettable evening — seasonal ingredients at their peak, thoughtfully composed courses, and warm, attentive service that allows you to linger at the table instead of working in the kitchen.

We design and execute refined, farm-forward, multi-course dinners in the comfort of your home. From menu development to final cleanup, every detail is handled with intention so you can focus on your guests, your celebration, and the moment unfolding around the table.

Our services are designed for gatherings like:

  • Milestone celebrations

  • Family holiday dinners

  • Bourbon-trail weekend dinners

  • Executive & professional gatherings

  • Farm & estate dinners

Meet the Chefs Behind the Experience

We're Lisa & Patrick Balcom, the founders of The Unlisted Table.

For more than two decades, we've built our lives around food, hospitality, and the belief that some of life's most meaningful moments happen around a shared table.

Before The Unlisted Table, we owned and operated Farow, a farm-to-table restaurant known for its seasonal menus, scratch cooking, and close relationships with local farmers and producers. While the setting has changed, the philosophy remains the same.

Today, we bring that experience directly to you.

Every gathering is thoughtfully designed around the season, the ingredients available at their peak, and the people seated at your table. Rather than serving the same menu night after night, we create dining experiences that feel personal, intentional, and unique to each occasion.

Patrick brings a deep respect for ingredients, classical technique, and years of culinary craftsmanship. Lisa brings a passion for hospitality, storytelling, and creating experiences that feel both elevated and welcoming.

Together, we believe the most memorable meals aren't simply eaten—they're shared.

And that's exactly what The Unlisted Table was created to celebrate.

Our Philosophy

Seasonal by Design.

Intentional by Nature.

Because our menus change with the harvest, we do not offer pre-set menus more than a month in advance. This approach supports a more sustainable food system, reduces waste, and results in meals that are not only more flavorful—but more meaningful.

Rather than working from fixed menus, each dinner is designed around the very moment of the season and your gathering. Each dinner evolves with the season. We also intentionally limit gatherings to twenty guests or fewer to ensure every detail receives our full attention.

If you’re looking for a dining experience rooted in place, season, and intention — you’re in the right place.

Season First. Values Always.

Our menus begin with what’s growing right now. We cook with the rhythm of the harvest — sourcing directly from small farms and producers we trust, and building each dinner around ingredients at their peak. 

Our approach means:

• Supporting farms that prioritize soil health and biodiversity
• Reducing waste through thoughtful, seasonal menu planning
• Making nearly everything from scratch — from stocks and sauces to sweets
• Cooking meals that nourish both people and place

Every dinner reflects not just what tastes good — but what feels right for the season.

This is not catering.
This is connection.

Imagine your home transformed into a farm to table restaurant for the evening.

The table is set. Glasses catch the light. The kitchen fills with the aroma of just-harvested herbs, handmade sauces, and courses arriving in thoughtful rhythm.

We create seasonal, chef-curated dining experiences using ingredients sourced directly from local farms. Every detail is prepared fresh in your home — composed, plated, and served with intention.

Full service. Intimate scale. Unforgettable evenings.

What Guests Remember

We hired them for a private family Christmas dinner while staying at an Airbnb — and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Every course topped the last, the homemade focaccia and ice cream were unforgettable, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. As parents of young children, that made the evening feel truly special.

— Airbnb Client

“Lisa and Patrick created a locally sourced, seasonal fine dining experience in my home that felt intimate, seamless, and unforgettable. From the batched cocktails and charcuterie to the beautifully composed three-course meal, every detail was thoughtful and refined.”

 — Business Dinner Client

“Dinner was amazing and we all enjoyed it so much.  Your attention to every detail made it all just perfect!”

Cook With Us Between Gatherings

We began with a simple belief: real food, cooked with intention, connects people more deeply to place and season. That philosophy shapes our private dinners — and the recipes and resources we share beyond them.

Through seasonal recipes, wine education, and our live cooking sessions, we invite you into our kitchen — offering practical guidance for anyone who wants to cook more thoughtfully at home.
