The former owners of Center City's Django have set up in Kennett Square, where the buzz is about the artful tasting dinners at Talula's Table.
A vibrant new market like Talula's Table, opened in March by Aimee Olexy and Bryan Sikora - last seen two years ago when they sold Django, their beloved Center City BYOB - can turn even the most far-flung agricultural hamlet into a must-stop destination. But word of Talula's farmhouse-table tasting dinners, served to just one group of 8 to 12 a night, four or five nights a week, has wafted far across the foodie grapevine like a very warm and tempting breeze.

The single-seating farm table dinners at Aimee Olexy’s crafty food market in the heart of horse country have stoked year-long reservation waits for good reason. The ever-changing tasting menus reflect the best of farm-to-table seasonal cooking in 10-course whimsies of elegant little plates, and have only become more stunning over the course of the last five years. House-made pastries and artisan sausages, the region’s best cheese plates and warm-but-sophisticated servers tending the intimate space and BYO wines help create a sensation of being at the ultimate dinner party. The smaller table inside the kitchen is an even more intriguing treat. It's $130 per person, including tax, tip and corkage.
