One week from today! Our first AC’s Table event of 2026 is a super special one. We’re welcoming a guest chef: our dear friend Jordan Rubin of @mr.tuna_maine and @crispygai in Portland, Maine.

For one night only, in partnership with @opentable, Jordan will be joining us at Poole’s iconic double horseshoe to serve an intimate five-course tasting menu that highlights his signature style: creative, Japanese-inspired dishes with a strong emphasis on sustainably sourced Maine seafood. Think of it as a coastal journey from Maine to North Carolina, all from your seat at the table.

There are still some seats available - link in bio to reserve!

Here’s a sneak preview of what you can expect:

🎈Motoyaki oysters with yuzu kosho, seaweed

🎈Duo of tuna handrolls

🎈Raw Maine scallops, radishes, chili lime dressing, charred grapefruit

🎈Aburi tuna, garlic ponzu, marinated shishito, onions, lettuce, fresh wasabi

See you on 1/15! by @poolesdiner
