Formerly The Joshua Wilton House

Inspired by French culinary traditions and the warmth of Virginia hospitality, Table 1888 will offer refined yet approachable dining, an extensive wine program, handcrafted cocktails, and welcoming spaces. We aim to provide guests with a farm-to-table experience, working in cooperation with local farmers and utilizing the amazing products that the Shenandoah Valle

y has to offer. In an elegantly restored Victorian home, Joshua Wilton House occupies a corner in the historic “Old Town” district of Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Meet Elise Whang, our Restaurant Manager at Table 1888.

Elise is a graduate of James Madison University, where she earned her B.S. in Hospitality Management with a minor in General Business. While at JMU, Elise had the opportunity to study wine and culture in Napa and Sonoma, experiencing the region’s wineries firsthand and gaining a greater appreciation for the people, places, and stories behind each bottle.

During her senior year, she also spent a semester working at the Joshua Wilton House, where she first worked alongside Ethan, Chef Tom, and several members of the team she now joins again at Table 1888.

Throughout college, Elise worked seasonally at The Capital Grille, an upscale steakhouse in Northern Virginia, before returning full-time after graduation. Her experience there helped shape her approach to fine dining service and restaurant operations while deepening her passion for wine and personalized guest experiences.

For Elise, great hospitality is personal. She loves the small details that make guests feel known and cared for, whether it’s remembering a favorite item, anticipating a need, or creating a genuine connection. Returning to Harrisonburg and joining Table 1888 has been a full-circle opportunity to continue growing in hospitality and wine while creating memorable experiences for the community she came to love during her time at JMU. Elise was a significant help in deciding our brand direction, and she worked on developing training guides and the structure of the front-of-house experience. Her contributions have been an essential part in shaping the experience we're proud to offer today.

The Joshua Wilton House has been a pinnacle part of downtown Harrisonburg for over a century (since 1888, hence the new name 😉). Swipe through to see what it looked like going into renovations and what a few months of work turned it into. We knew going into these renovations that we weren't about to erase that history, but we wanted to give it some room to breathe. Come see it for yourself!

A few bites from our soft opening, and the first plates to come out of the kitchen at Table 1888. 🍽️

We have been working toward this for months, and getting to finally plate, serve, and watch people dig into each dish made every bit of our hard work worth it.
