    Pick me Up (like a mimosa)
    Leigh E.

    We stopped at this beautifully, rustic spot in downtown Florence for brunch on UNA game day. We were seated immediately and our waiter was kind & attentive. I chose the snack plate and my husband got a burger. Both were so good & my "pick me up" drink was tasty! My fav was the sourdough toast... to die for!!

    Great drink selection in the middle of historic downtown . Friendly bartender I ordered the Coppa Steak, was cooked perfect and sides were delicious

    Green drink
    Kendall R.

    I came here for a birthday dinner and was very impressed with the food and drinks! I had the green drink cocktail and it was fantastic! I don't like cucumber, and they were willing to make the drink without. I also tried the peach cocktail and I could tell they used real peach juice which is sadly rare but makes a huge impact! The restaurant itself isn't very large, but it's very cute inside. I split the kale Caesar and rosemary focaccia with a friend and we loved both. I also got a cup of the tomato soup and it was probably the best I've ever had! Very rich though, not sure I could do a bowl. The service was the reason this isn't a 5 star review. It was dreadfully slow, and the restaurant was not busy. We arrived at 7, ordered drinks and a few apps, and he didn't come back until close to 8 and we had to ask to put in entrees at that point. Also, we had to pay a cake cutting fee just to store the cake in their fridge. Our server delivered it to our table along with small plates, but no forks, then he disappeared. I saw him on the back on his phone, so I went and asked a waitress if we could have forks. She was very kind and apologetic, and quickly remedied the situation.

    Chicken Bahn Mi Lunch Special
    Jana H.

    We had a very nice lunch starting out with the creamy deviled eggs. I had the soup and salad combo with the mixed greens and chicken & wild rice soup. The salad was dressed perfectly with a nice crunch from the almonds, and the soup was warm and comforting on a dreary day. The rest of my party enjoyed their meals, and we would definitely return.

    Bread + Butter
    Harsha S.

    The service was exceptional. I was greeted when I entered by multiple people. I made a reservation though it wasn't really needed. The ambiance is nice; I'm a huge fan of low-lit areas. There was a lot of light from the bar area. I asked my server, Mary, what she recommended for a sweet drink and duly went with the Swingin Sunset. It was fresh, sweet, and mixed well. There wasn't an incredible amount of ice, either. I was served a bread + (sea salt?) butter bowl, which was incredibly tasty. The muffins seemed like they were made with browned butter and a hint of caramelization. The saltiness of the butter complimented the sweetness of the bread. It makes me want to learn how to make it, haha. I asked for food recommendations; she recommended the cheeseburger + gulf fish piccata. I wanted something different from a fish and burger so she ended up recommending the Crispy Potato Gnocci, which was a great choice. It was incredibly filling. The pork belly was crispy and mixed well with the rest of the ingredients in the dish. There was a nice umami + peppery bite. The price of food + drink is a little high, but it goes with saying that the quality of the items made it worth it. I'm glad they have a seasonal menu to provide variety. If I'm ever in town, I would love to come here for brunch or lunch.

    Bluewater Creek Cheeseburger, hold the bun, add avocado, fries with Mayo and Thyme infused house ketchup
    Pat M.

    We had a reservation at 5:45 pm on a Tuesday night and we arrived right on time and were promptly seated in the dining room. Casey, our server, was amazing! We started with cocktails which were delicious. There were four of us in the party and we were all from various parts of Georgia. Casey brought us a bread basket featuring homemade rosemary bread and corn muffins with whipped butter...yummy! We split two salads: the mixed greens and the strawberry salad. Two of us had the cheese burger, excellent, we especially enjoyed the thyme infused ketchup with the fries. One had the mahi mahi fresh Gulf dinner with shrimp, roasted cauliflower in a fennel sauce. She said it was great. The fourth had the steak tartar and the grilled asparagus and said it hit all the marks. For dessert, we shared a crème brûlée topped with an Apple compote. So good! I highly recommend this local favorite.

    Yummy food for 4 and fabulous fun!

    Our experience for our celebration of our daughter's Doctoral Degree Accomplishment & Our Son-In-Love's MBA Degree Accomplishment was phenomenal, everything from our appetizers to our Bloody Mary's to Our Entree's were delicious and superbly prepared! Thank You for a wonderful dining experience and a well-earned and deserved celebration to year's & year's of hard-work to cap off the final cherry on top of educational sundae!

    Lava Room - Banh Mi Sandwich

    The atmosphere of Lava Room might be the best in Florence, this place is really cool! They always…read morehave great live music on the weekends and their typical crowd is ideal compared to some other local bars. Their food selection isn't huge, but that's okay because every single item is amazing. Whether you get their ramen, bao buns, eggrolls, po boys, or appetizers, I promise it will be delicious. My personal favorites are the eggrolls. They have a wide selection on the drink menu, but you can order any standard mixed drinks as well. I recommend trying at least one of their signature cocktails, though, because there are some really neat options! The only downside is the limited seating, which can be annoying if they are super busy. If you get a table or a seat at the bar, you'll have an amazing time. Otherwise, you might be standing along the wall waiting for a spot to open up. That's a risk that's probably worth taking, though, given how great the atmosphere will be while you're here!

    Came in for a few drinks and karaoke. Drinks are great; they don't have a good scotch selection…read morebut the Japanese whisky choices are excellent (basically Japanese scotch, and it's very good). Ambience is great. Food looks interesting, would definitely eat here. Karaoke was awful. Just awful. How awful? Well, awful enough that I decided to write a review. And its not about the singers. Lots of people aren't great singers...that's expected. The karaoke guy runs the worst karaoke show I've seen in a long time. Anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes of thumping bumper music to entertain himself between singers (nothing against the genre, but it was completely opposite of every song people were choosing...know your demographic), no concept at all of basic EQ (vocals buried under the booming and mushy bass) , filled the room with smoke so thick you could barely see the stage, and blows a super loud and annoying air-horn sound effect between every. single. freakin'. song. Again...food, drinks, ambience and service are great. But if you enjoy karaoke, avoid.
