It had been many years if not decades since we had last visited the previous Jack's reef at their…read moreold location. We decided to take a road trip to check out the new Reef restaurant. The dining room was spacious and clean and bright as were the servers and the bartenders who expertly served us. They have a happy hour from 5 to 7 that varies each day so on this Thursday was half price on selected appetizers as well as $2.50 domestic select drafts. We got there about 10 after five and the bar quickly filled up, which seemed to be regulars, which was a good sign. We decided to linger a little bit over our first drinks and ordered deep fried cheese curds with a delicious margarita type tomato sauce. I had never had fried cheese curds and they were plentiful and came out steaming hot topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, unfortunately I did not take a picture as we were hungry and dove right in. When it was time for our second drink, I pondered over their wine list, but decided that with my Reuben and mac & cheese dinner a cold draft would suffice. My husband ordered the Philly cheesecake sandwich and onion rings. The mac & cheese and the onion rings were up charges of $2.50 and they were worth it. The cheesesteak sandwich was not shaved beef, but wonderfully thick pieces of beef on a perfectly toasted bun type with cheese and peppers. The onion rings were generous as well as crisp and not overly breaded. My Reuben was perfectly toasted on a delicious rye bread with just the right amount of sauce to not make it soggy. The star was their mac & cheese served in a steaming hot crock! It was creamy, not too cheesy, but cheesy enough to know that you were digging into a delicious bite of mac & cheese.. well done kitchen! All in all the meal was so large we could only eat half of it and brought it home for another day. We would certainly return as we enjoyed every bit of our evening. The patio looked invited and will be opening soon. They also have live entertainment to enjoy.

We walked from our Airbnb across the bridge to the Reef Saturday night for dinner. The server was…read morephenomenal! I had the fish sandwich with homemade chips and cole slaw and my friend had the chicken tender platter with fries and green beans. The portions were enormous and much respect to those in the kitchen, as the food was absolutely delicious! It was a beautiful place, established in 1820, I believe and the atmosphere was great. There was a large party seated next to us and just seeing their faces and hearing their laughter... This was the place to be! I would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

I booked a brunch buffet for my moms 75 birthday. The price was reasonable, food was excellent, and…read morestaff were amazing. We had 34 guests and our 2 servers were fantastic. Checked in with me just enough, were on top of drink refills, and cleared plates quickly. The brunch had so much food. Scrambled eggs, frittata, bacon, sausage, potatoes, French toast, salad, pasta, meatballs, and roasted chicken. I might have missed something. There was so much I can't remember. We also added mimosas which is self serve from a punch bowl. Everything was so good. My favorite was the french toast. Yum. If you are looking for a place to do a party. Check out Tassone's Wine Garden.

There is a garlic allergy in the group so they are usually fine of mix a special dressing for salads (just oil and seasonings) etc. We had a new waitress though who was a little rude about it, and seemingly tried to make the mom in law guilty about the allergy. It was especially awkward being mother's day and their history for accommodating. The back of house had no issues though as per usual, but the comments were uncomfy so it knocks off a star for me even if its not the usual. The bread and butter were a hit for me, as well as the mimosa. For my entrée I got the broiled seafood platter-- it was really tasty. I was really impressed with the flavor and texture of all of the kinds fo seafood. The mashed potatos were also delicious. Especially mixed with the garlic butter from the bread (there are some bonuses when others you eat with can't have garlic like I can! More for me.) I would easily reccomend this dish. Plenty of parking.

Went here during dining weeks to celebrate a birthday. Made a reservation for 6 pm and was seated…read morepromptly upon arriving. I was not expecting them to be kid friendly, as they are a little more upscale, but they asked if we wanted a high chair and kids menu for our toddler! The dining room has clearly been upgraded recently and was beautiful! Our server explained the various menus and specials and quickly took our drink orders. However, service started to decline after this. We had ordered the warm bread basket, and never ended up getting it. By the time we realized they had forgotten about it, we didn't feel like it was worth it. Our salads and soups came out quickly, but everything else took a while. When we would finish one course, it would take 10-15 min to clear our empty plates. The waitress also didn't check in with us very often to see if we wanted to order more drinks. I will also say that more places should start bringing our young kids entrees before the adults. It can be very tough for a toddler to patiently wait 30 minutes for their food. Once we got our food, I will say everything was quite delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. Portion sizes were also great. I did find an unmashed chunk in my whipped potatoes, but the taste made up for that. The kids mac and cheese was also delicious and the portion was huge! For dessert, we had the option of creme brûlée cheesecake or flourless chocolate torte. Both were decadent and a good way to end the meal. We definitely want to give this place another try, as the food was good. They just need to work out some kinks with their service.

Nice vibe and an owner who truly cares about his customers. We started with a cocktail at the bar…read morewhile waiting for our table. Cocktails were very good and reasonably priced. If you're a bourbon or scotch drinker, you'll love their selection. The bartender and owner really know their stuff and if you're not sure what you want, they won't hesitate to make a suggestion. When we were seated, we were immediately greeted by our server who was just as friendly and attentive as the bar staff. The menu isn't very big, but what they do have is very good. There was live entertainment which consisted of a gentleman on the electric piano singing songs. His selection of music was a perfect choice for people enjoying their dinner. Nice soft music and we never felt like we had to make an effort to talk over the music. He also had a wonderful voice and took a request from us to play Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World which he absolutely knocked out of the park! The owner stopped by our table a couple of times to check on us and was attentive without being over the top. I'd definitely recommend this place for a nice relaxing meal and some great entertainment on a Friday night. We'll definitely be back.

So glad they are back open. Service Speed: Last weekend…read morewas so busy and definitely a getting back on their feet night. People seem to forget that the servers, bartenders and cooks are human. My favorite part of Persimmons is that the service isn't super fast. It so nice to just sit and enjoy conversation and not feel like you are being rushed. One time at brunch our server told us to just flip our table topper upright when we were ready to order so that we didn't feel rushed. Food: I love the menu! My husband loved the catfish. Truffle fries are amazing. Brussel sprouts are delicious. I have not tried the calamari yet but have seen several people order and rave about it. It looks amazing. Super odd but I'm obsessed with the grilled chicken on the salad. It's literally cooked to perfection every time! The house salad dressing is amazing. Ooo and the wings. The Georgia bbq has just the slightest peach flavor. It's so good. Compliments to the new chef! I'm really excited to see what else he brings to the menu. Drinks: probably the highlight for me. The bartenders are amazing!! Charlie, Sienna, and Azalea are amazing! Overall: how about that manager!!! I just love him! He works so hard to make sure every guest feels special and taken care of. So thankful to have such a nice welcoming place to spend a Friday evening at.

Food: might have been good if it was not over cooked and served hot rather than book. I really…read moredon't like kobe beef burnt and cold with my eggs. Service: might have been acceptable if we had seen our waitress occasionally during the meal. The manager comped the meal but not the coffee but seemed clueless as to how to fix the problems with the staff and kitchen. Ambiance: nice atmosphere Results: I will not return and will recommend the restsurant to "no one".
