    Great ambience beautifully decorated in an old historic building. The staff was super friendly and kind. Great menu options and delicious wine. I do wish they were open a little later in the week days. Parking is hard at the moment due to construction in downtown Lufkin. But I think they should be done in early Oct 2024. I'll be back in the fall to try and enjoy the outside patio with a glass of wine.

    Crab cakes and tomato bisque.

    Fun little place! Crab cakes were delicious! Also had a cup of tomato bisque that was great but would have been perfect with a piece of grilled bread. Looking forward to coming back and trying something else!

    Wine anyone... I chanced it and ordered tge Fiesta Winery, Happy Trails (Pinot Gris, Peach Bliss), Lometa, TX! It was awesome! The waiter was nice and knew the menu. Ordered the cheesy flatbread with balsalmic for appetizer. It was just okay... although it was an odd pairing. I must compliment the cheese... You can tell it was made with milk and not oil. It would have been better with a bit of arugela and sliced barrett pears with a balsalmic drizzel. That screams winner. Fast forward to dinner... I got the Strawberry Field Salad with Chicken. The salad was unique because it didnt contain the standard spinach and strawberry salad. Instead of dry walnuts, the salad had spicy peanuts, which was odd, but tasted great! Everything else was pretty standard. However, the chicken was a bit tastless. A plus rating for the dessert. I ordered the Tuxedo Cake and it was a huncking size cake. It was good, not the best, but definitely still yummy!!! Restoration is nestled into the quaint cityscape of downtown Lufkin! Plenty of nightime parking on a weekday and cute lights. This place is easy to find!

    Fried green tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and balsamic reduction...SO YUMMY

    We had such a lovely experience here! The shrimp and grits was one of the best I've ever had...perfectly prepared, perfectly seasoned, appropriately portioned, unbelievably delicious! The fried green tomatoes were also amazing. My boyfriend who doesn't even like tomatoes enjoyed them. The service was stellar even though they were very short staffed. We didn't wait long at all for our food and everything was exactly as ordered. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and helpful and didn't miss a thing. The pricing was modest for such a wonderful meal. We can't wait to come back and HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!

    I love this restaurant and visit it as often as I can. It's the only wine bar around and their selection is excellent. The servers are knowledgeable and provide an awesome atmosphere. Cody is fantastic!! The tomato flatbread is awesome (add spinach), the veggie pizza is delicious and fresh, and their create your own cheese plates are amazing too with excellent pairings and presentation. I always get the fried pickles and sometimes I order two!! My pregnant sister was obsessed with them!! They have a happy hour from 3-6pm with apps and drink specials. If you haven't been here yet you are missing out!

    Small menu, but great food and drinks. Wished they served liquor. They have indoor and outdoor seating area. Great for social distancing.
