Amazing food. I heard good things about it but I live downtown and from the outside it does not appear all that welcoming. But once inside you figure out quickly it is truly a hidden gem. The spinach dip was so good, the waitress was so accommodating and nice and appeared to give honest feedback when asked about her dish preferences. By far the star of the show was the red snapper. I was scared it would be dry but boy was I wrong!!! It was seasoned to perfection and so hot and delicious...can't believe I almost passed on it. It's been a struggle to find good food in Macon but this place checks all the boxes and I hope it stays around for years to come! read more

My husband and I kicked off the new year with a resolution to try restaurants we've never been to in Middle Georgia, and 3rd & Cherry confidently strutted its way to the top of the list. Located in Downtown Macon, parking is available via street parking. Finding a close spot on the weekend is like winning the Mega Million, possible, but don't count on it. We lucked up on this night and found a spot directly across from the restaurant. As we made our way to the entrance, we were unexpectedly greeted by a woman passionately yelling obscenities at us. Nothing like a little downtown ambiance to set the mood. Thankfully, the heavy police presence on every corner made me feel safe enough to proceed to the restaurant. Once inside, the chaos faded instantly. We were welcomed by a gregarious and friendly staff, informed them of our reservation, and were seated immediately. On this particular Saturday, they weren't overly busy, so we even had the luxury of choosing which booth best suited our comfort level. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale without being stuffy. Think dim lighting, elegant music, exposed ceilings, and décor that says "rustic charm" but also "yes, this entrée will cost more than $30." Our waiter was professional, attentive, and genuinely pleasant, the kind of service that makes you relax and stop checking the time. We started with cocktails: I ordered the strawberry lemon drop martini, and my husband opted for an old fashioned. Both were well-crafted, smooth, and strong enough to make us forget about the crazy lady outside. For appetizers, we each ordered the crab cake. You get one small crab cake, but it was tasty and respectable by Middle Georgia standards. Entrées are à la carte, so order accordingly. I ordered the Chilean sea bass with Brussels sprouts and spinach, while my husband chose the salmon with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Both fish dishes were cooked perfectly and tasted fresh, with sauces that paired beautifully. The Brussels sprouts were crispy, flavorful, and addictive. My husband said his mashed potatoes were possibly the creamiest he's ever had. All of the food was outstanding. Dessert options include their 3rd & Cherry cobbler, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Heads up: desserts are made to order and take about 20 minutes. Translation, order dessert early unless you're prepared to sit there long enough to contemplate life choices. The restaurant and restrooms were clean, which always earns bonus points. Overall, we had a lovely experience at 3rd & Cherry. It's an excellent choice for a special occasion, date night, or anytime you want to feel a little fancy without leaving Middle Georgia. We'll definitely be back. read more

Our visit started off a bit rocky. Lots of people asking if we'd been helped and no one helping. Someone left a plastic cup on the hostess stand with a weird beverage looked odd. Finally, the "owner" rushed up to seat us. Pleasant fellow, good personality and pleasant to talk to. Apologized and we moved on. The restaurant is almost cut in half with seating on both sides of door. Plenty of metered parking (free after 8pm). Luckily, we were sat in a cozy booth near the windows but we did have a reservation. The other side was more tables and less date worthy. Bathrooms need a bit of a touch up. We ordered the crab cake and caprese to start. Average crab cake too much filler, this is a pass. The caprese however was amazing. Healthy tomato's and a fresh burrata topped with balsamic. Very good, a definite reorder. For mains, I had the fried red snapper with Parmesan risotto this comes with tostones and a dipping sauce. Large fish, nicely seasoned yet a bit over cooked to the point of being dry. Hubby had the full pork loin chop with a side of mashed potatoes. This came with a fresh chimichura sauce and tostones as well. We were celebrating a birthday (on the reservation) so we ordered the hot chocolate cake. Pretty standard. I really think these are now mass made and ordered through food delivery. It was good but can get in multiple restaurants these days. Good vanilla ice cream. Service, now this is where they easily lose a star. Half hearted, disappearing, not engaged with a touch of attitude. They weren't busy, it wasn't late. We were in great moods. Who knows. While we will visit again when in Macon, we cannot have her again. read more

Expected a lot more out of this place based on how nice it looked after it was closed. Disappointed from the beginning since the hostess sat me at a booth next to a damaged wall. I asked for a new booth. I was the only one there so she let me pick whichever one I wanted. I should have known with no one else there, that was possibly a sign? Not sure. I did hear one person in the bar area but no one else was seated in the dining area I was in. I ordered a salad, and for my entree, the shrimp and lobster fettuccine alfredo. I would have expected the salad to come out first but after waiting awhile, the salad and entree arrived together. I was disappointed by the entree since it did not seem to have been made recently. The sauce was congealed with lumpy cheese mixed in. The pasta all stuck together in a pile and not hot at all. Not sure if maybe that is just how their version is, but it certainly did not sit well while I was eating it, and I took most of it to go. I almost left it there, but I don't like wasting food. I instead filled up on and tried their cherry cobbler. That indeed was hot out of the oven. Service was interesting. Haven't heard so many "yes ma'am's" in such a short timeframe. So he was very polite, but I felt somewhat badly about asking any question. Again, something I am just not used to. Looked around and enjoyed the decor, but also saw leftover food under the table next to me that was fully set and ready for customers. I also noticed the entryway rug on my way was full of dirt/debris. I sure hope the kitchen is kept cleaner! To this day I wonder why others were not in the restaurant eating? read more

Brought a customer here for dinner. The service was on point from the second I walked in until I paid. We shared the pork belly and salmon dip - both were great. I got the scallops wrapped in prosciutto. They were delicate and cooked perfectly. All in all, the meal was great read more

We came back in December for a date night. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. We were greeted so nicely on our way in. We did not have a reservation but they somehow managed to work us in, that was a treat! The food was all so delicious. The timing of items coming to the table worked perfectly. We didn't wait too long for anything and the next dish arrived with just enough space between to be ready for the next item. The dessert was hard to choose because they all sounded lovely. We had oysters for appetizer and they were nice and large! Crab cakes were big and full of crab and so warm, so delicious. The brussel sprouts were so good I couldn't stop eating them! I decided on the chocolate lava cake for dessert and... I had to finish it because it was just that good. If you're looking for a nice dinner in Macon this is a definite place to go! We are going back next week! read more

The food and service was wonderful. We (my wife and I) will definitely come back again. We recommend you try 3rd & Cherry.

3rd & Cherry was a bit of a bummer for me. The area it's in really isn't the best area but that doesn't define the restaurant. So the ambiance outside is very old looking it's not as appealing, walking into the restaurant is very different than how it looks on the outside. It's very quiet and rustic inside. Walking in we had to wait for someone to come and sit us down we waited for a few seconds. So right when you get the menu it isn't as surprising at the huge prices..it was a huge let down for the price, it took a while for the food to come out and when it did come out I personally didn't enjoy it. I got the salmon and the sides were very hard kind of crisp and with that the sauce wasn't really appealing and it didn't fill me up. It was also a bit cold and very salty. My mother got the lobster and shrimp pasta and before she had asked our waitress if it was "Al dente". The waitress looked like she had never heard of Al dente before and she had said "I'll ask"..so she went to go ASK THE CHEF TO MAKE IT AL DENTE. She had said that it's usually not Al dente but he'll make it Al dente this time but there are no promises it will be done next time around. So this was very shocking to us. It personally just wasn't the best experience. read more

3rd & Cherry - Salmon and a side of Risotto - Seafood Near Me - Macon, Georgia

The food was amazing. Let me say this I didn't expect the steak to be soooo big but it was and cooked perfectly. The steak was marvelous. I ordered take out because I stopped through. I had Fries(of course) lol, Brussel Sprouts, and the Ribeye, all cooked perfectly. It was definitely Chef's Kiss. I called placed the order, it wasn't any parking so the lady who took my order said she would meet me and bring it out such a sweet young lady. It was pretty busy, but my order was ready in the allotted time given. It was clean from my observation and I highly recommend 3rd & Cherry for all occasions. read more

We had a 6:30 reservation and were quickly seated. Overall dinner was very nice & our meal was amazing! Soft music playing through the speakers, nice setting. However service was a bit slow, we waited awhile for our cocktails & also the food. My potatoes also weren't hot when they came. Thats the only reason I gave 4 stars. Our waitress Savanna was very sweet & thanked us for being patient with her. I also tried the Crème Brulee because she said it was her recipe!! 10/10 !! I'd go back just for that!! read more

What is fabulous night to meet my new friends, the owner who is Eddie, Tiffany that helps out there and Mitch who is the patron. We had such an incredible night. It was a night that was closed but open for a birthday party. I ended up calling to see if we could still eat there and they invited us down. We love Eddie's personality, he is originally from Puerto Rico, he brought his knowledge spices for the of love for cooking. We had the scallops, perfect and a pork chop. We had a pork chop, pork belly attached to it, it was cooked perfect. The pork belly gave us crisp pork rinse. We never had anything like that before and it won't be our last time to eat it. I WOULD RECOMMEND read more

The food was very good. It's a little pricey, but it's a great place to celebrate a special occasion. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, but maybe it's because we were a bigger party and her tip was already included. Overall, I'd still rate it a 10/10. read more

We came here for my husband's 40th HS reunion. There over 30 people that showed up so you would think that the service might have been strained. If it was, you would never know. Great service and the food was stellar. We ordered salmon dip and the spinach dip as appetizers and both were amazing as were the cocktails, but the stars of the show were the friend whole snapper and ultimate pork chop. Insanely good. I would highly recommended this place! read more

Had a family gathering here. Place was a nice size. Everyone was pleasant. Our waitress was very attentive. I forgot her name. SMH. (Young, black female) she was on point with everything. All of our drink and food orders were correct. Food was really good. Hot and tasty. Our drinks could've been better. Only con...our strawberry margaritas...Tasted like a strawberry lemonade with no alcohol. Exactly like that. We were able to pay separately for our food as it was a party of 10. Parking is street parking...it was something going on this day/night in particular but take it into consideration. I would recommend this restaurant if in the area. read more

The food was okay. I had the Mofongo Steak and realized I'm not a huge fan of olives. I'm sure it was fine if you enjoy that flavor though. The ribeye was cooked decently and the sides were okay. I was incredibly disappointed with the service. We had waters and the fried cheese appetizer around 20-ish minutes of being seated. We didn't receive our entrees and sides until 85 minutes of being seated. The table next to us was complaining that they had been sitting for 25 or so minutes and hadn't even been offered a water. The manager did come apologize to us right before our food came out, but at that point we should have been signing our receipt and headed out the door. The delay caused us to miss a comedy show because by the time we wrapped up, we wound up sitting in traffic for an hour after the show started before deciding to just find a spot to leave and go grab some milkshakes. The interior of the restaurant is cozy enough. There is some exposed brick and it's just like any other historic building. read more

We went to this restaurant last evening. The food was excellent and the steak was cooked to perfection. The staff was very informative about the selections available and were the utmost professionals. Was a outstanding evening and we will be back again and again read more

Made an online reservation on a Thursday for a party of 10 for the next Saturday. Received a call on a Sunday stating that they could not accommodate on the day we made reservations for. Not a problem if you don't have the space you don't have it. The lady on the phone told me they had the day before or the day after available. I told her I would call her back because I cannot just alter plans for 9 other adults without consulting them first. I called her back less than an hour later to confirm the day we all were available. No answer I left a voicemail. Called a few times after that no answer no returned phone call. Received an email a few days later that the reservation had been cancelled. What is the point of all of this? We were really looking forward to going here smh. read more

I highly recommend a visit to to this restaurant and I find it easy to award this restaurant a FIVE STAR review. I plan to return every time I visit Macon, Georgia. read more

We found this place in Macon just riding by. Good drinks, great service and great food. Highly recommend!

It's a casual bar; loud with tvs. Employees coming to visit kitchen off hours. Food was good but difficult to enjoy due to conditions in the restaurant. Booths are worn out and uncomfortable. Air conditioner couldn't keep up in late November. The three stars were all for the food. read more

What went well? EVERYTHING! My husband and I were returning home from Atlanta to Savannah on his birthday, this restaurant popped upon his google maps for brunch. Decided to stop and the food was delicious, highly seasoned & most of all fresh. This will now be a requirement to stop whenever we are headed through Macon. The ambience is very calm and relaxing; establishment is well kept and clean. Date night, girls night, brunch/lunch, solo meal, dress up or down (not too down).... And this is the spot. Servers were polite, attentive, and able to offer recommendations based off of their experiences, which I really appreciated. Just try it; you will not be disappointed. read more

We called for a reservation for 7, with less than an hour notice and they were able to, unexpectedly, seat us all together! So that was a plus to start the experience! We ordered the appetizer shrimp and crab cake! The appetizer shrimps/prawns were tender and delicious!! For entrees, we were drawn to the mofongo...but instead ordered a variety of dishes, from the lambchops, Liam chicken to lobster-shrimp fettuccine, and sides including the risotto, mashed potatoes and seared ahi! The Ahi was so flavorful! Everyone enjoyed the flavor of their dishes! The portions were spot on! Wished we had ordered dessert, but our tummy's were full! Our server was friendly and she was attentive! Would love to eat here again if we return to Macon...better yet...maybe one can be built in our neck of the woods in Orange County, CA! read more
