Michael Seidel joined as a pastry chef in 2012, which also allowed him to be the cakemaker for Century Ballroom. Donna Looney and Dan Wunderlich have also been chefs at Tin Table.

Like many restaurants, Tin Table closed was forced to close temporarily upon the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant re-opened with an updated menu in May 2020, and used a pulley system deliver food orders for pickup while maintaining social distance. Tin Table also used Century Ballroom as a dining area compliant with distancing requirements. For Thanksgiving in 2020, a take-out menu included herb roasted turkey, buttermilk rolls, winter squash, and yams. In December, the business and Century Ballroom launched a GoFundMe campaign to stay afloat. Tin Table began hosting free monthly lunch meetups for LGBTQ seniors in 2021, as part of the DineTogether program.

Seattle Magazine called Tin Table "sleek" and "sexy" in 2011. Julien Perry included the restaurants in Eater Seattle 's 2021 list of the city's 23 best late night dining options, based on reader feedback.
