Dinner in the River - The Quintessential Summer Culinary Adventure

Picture this: a sweltering hot Central Valley summer day.  You venture out and escape to the serene nature found along the banks of the San Joaquin River. You dine on sumptuous cuisine that only The Painted Table’s artistry can offer. But you’re not just sitting on shore—You are seated at a long, elegantly set table in the river! With your feet immersed in the cool currents, you dine on a unique five-course meal designed just for the occasion.

This isn’t a dream. Here at the Painted Table, we transform extraordinary culinary adventures into reality. We painted outside the lines with event planning that visited the realm of the unexpected for our “Dinner in the Water,” in collaboration with Fresno’s Underground Supper Series, for our June 10th event.

Experimental menus paired with exquisite cocktails are the signature of Underground Suppers. From delicate appetizers, that included strawberry and ricotta crostata and fried smelt served with a fine ginger-seasoned dipping sauce, to a refreshingly spicy cucumber and coconut salad, our 40 guests were poised for the main entrée: braised short ribs brushed with fig and apricot glaze. The dessert teased tongues with a bounty of flavors and textures: our guests delighted in velvety lime curd served with pickled green apple 3 ways, sesame crumble, candied ginger, and sorrel.

Only the finest team of event pros can produce such a successful escape. The Modernist astutely created a specially crafted cocktail to pair with our menu. Beautiful flowers by Botanique Floral Artistry adorned our long table covered with crisp linens from The Linen Shoppe. Our guests sat under hanging golden lights strung by Light Up The Walls, and DC Photography Studios captured the entire event.

This kind of fantastical culinary getaway is what we’re known for at The Painted Table. Impeccable event planning and execution is in our wheelhouse. What’s your vision for your upcoming event? From an intimate dinner party to a big blowout celebration, we’re here to make your vision come to life. Contact our in-house event design team at (559) 443-7199.

I absolutely recommend Painted Table.
The presentation of the meals was excellent. Even the kids meal was presented as a piece of art. There was plenty of food. They were organized and gave helpful suggestions to go with the party theme. Excellent service and very professional.

The painted table made my weekend experience so easy. Vanessa is a literal angel for wedding coordinating needs, she handled every hiccup, made sure me and the groom felt taken care of, and executed our wedding to perfection. The food was great, service was amazing, all went perfectly thanks to the painted table.

Absolute commendable hospitality of the highest regard. I attended a training meeting for the Fresno Unified School District at this majestic establishment. Powerful scenic scope of both style and substance. The chandeliers are the illuminating nuance of both radiating a dual role of constitution of elegance, but with a welcoming practicality. The beverage bar of mint/lemon water and the infinity of coffee was a tremendous salutory change of class of culinary drink that was exhilarated to be utilized. As this was my initial visit of this luxurious space, I dearly hope to return to enjoy more of its features when it is the future of splendid reality for us to enjoy its brilliance.
