We were pleasantly surprised that following one of the Ole Miss graduations, we called McCormick's…read moreand they indicated they were open with no wait. There were nine of us and with so many graduations, we were worried about finding a restaurant. Overall great experience. Our server was prompt and attentive, the food was decent quality and really reasonably priced, the restaurant was clean and there was plenty of room for our large party. We ordered fish and chips, Caesar salad with steak, wings, chicken nachos, and redfish...plus cheesecake, cookies and cake! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

The bartender did not look at us once and when my brother asked if he had any recommendations or a favorite, he responded "no" without even looking up. When I asked for 2 drinks I was told they were out which was fine, but then I asked what they did have and was told, "look if it has a cap on it". The Growler was something my family was looking forward to since they were coming for the first time from Connecticut and had heard good things, but the bartender made it seem like we weren't wanted there. I did not end up getting a drink which was an unfortunate way to end my graduation night.

I've been to The Growler quite a few times and have always had a great experience. I decided to swing in this week while back in town and it really held up. The staff working the bar are consistently awesome - they're personable, quick, and extremely helpful. The beer is always well poured. Their food is always great for the atmosphere. Some places tend to get lazy when serving bar food, but that is not the case for The Growler. There is so much seating available if you are planning to hang out with friends, and they have a few tvs and games available for use. It is somehow also a great spot for working - I have typed many, many papers here and have somehow never been too distracted despite this place often being filled with groups of people.

I ordered a jungle bird and my wife ordered an espresso martini. This place is super cool, if not just for the fact that it's hidden and you have to find it. The jungle bird was tiki strong and delicious with dark rum as the main. The espresso martini was also awesome flavor and strong. The Nightbird is a cool little hidden gem.

If you find Bar Muse, you've done well…read more Enter a slender doorway just off Van Buren, with the bar's name spelled out in tile... Inside is understated and cozy...nothing fancy. Just a chill atmosphere for some equivalently chill beverages. If you sit at the bar, be prepared to have a friendly chat with proprietor Joe, who also artfully crafted the menu. The offering features generous pours and generous deals at happy hour, which runs 4-6. Cocktails are the star here, although a thoughtful selection of select wine and beer awaits if that's your jam. Tonight, Sip It Trebek caught my eye and I'm glad it did. "What is bourbon with a fig liqueur and some bitters, Alex?" Bar Muse is one of those places you wish was near your home, no matter where home might be. Peace from the pace.

The menu features a broad range of options, showcasing both classic and innovative dishes made from fresh ingredients. Each dish(catfish plate, chicken Alfredo, wing plate, boudin eggs rolls & that velvet punch) we chose was carefully prepared and beautifully presented, highlighting the attention to detail. The service was consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming environment. Overall, The Velvet Ditch provides excellent value for money, making it a highly recommended spot for those looking to enjoy a memorable meal.

We came in to taste the local flair while on an Ole Miss college tour. The wait was lengthy however you could still stand at the bar and have a drink while you waited. We ordered a round of beers and checked out the place and the people. The bartenders were very nice, a lot of southern hospitality in this town. We were finally seated and ordered a seafood platter and a few orders of seafood gumbo. The gumbo was absolutely delicious. Shrimp that tasted amazing and sausage with great flavor. Rice cooked perfectly and overall a great dish. The seafood platter in my opinion, not worth the money. It was okay, but nothing spectacular. Coming from vegas the bar is set high on dining out as we have the best of the best in our city when it comes to places to eat. While this was a fun place to hang, it's expensive for a college town. The ahi tuna nachos at this place are absolutely amazing and a must try. Best thing I ate there. A ton of Ahi and a huge portion. There was more ahi than chips. Clean place, fair service at the tables, waitress delivered 4 entrees and saint bring the 11 year olds dinner. He sat for 15 minutes and I had to hunt her down to ask where the kids food was. Serve everyone at the same time, it's rude not to. This was a big annoyance for me as the child sits with no food while everyone else is eating for 15-20 minutes.

It was OK…read more Positives - super convenient if you're staying at the hotel. Really cool ambiance although it is showing some wear and tear. The patio overlooking the Square has unbeatable views and scenery. Awesome place for an afternoon cocktail. Negatives - they were out of 3 draft beers. I tried to order the pulled pork sandwich and I was informed they don't make it any more and they were in the process of taking it off the menu. The smash burger I got was a joke (see my pictures). My waitress was nice just not very fast. If you are looking for a cool spot for a drink, this works. If you are looking for more of a culinary experience, go some place on the Square.

There were only four people in the entire place and the service was horrible. Very confrontational, pushback bar "maid" (and she was a dude). Happy hour food absolutely sucked. Not trying to be overly critical. I am also a Hilton Diamond Reserve member and this is why I stayed here. I might as well have said I was a Mormon selling Old Testament Bibles. This is a dial it in at BEST staff from the front door to the rooftop bar. Save a whole bunch of money and go stay down the street.
