    The Tabby House at Christmas
    Cynthia S.

    The Tabby House is the sweetest little gift shop on earth. It is jam-packed, but beautifully arranged with every lovely little item someone's heart ever could desire. First of all, the building is a must-visit for anyone on St. Simons Island. Built in 1805 as a slave cabin for Retreat Plantation and made from tabby (lime & oyster shells), it has been authentically restored so is a historic part of the area. Anyone reading Eugenia Price's trilogy about St. Simons will be able to step into the story here. The selection of merchandise at the shop is absolutely wonderful. I can do all my Christmas shopping right here! The adorable proprietor and her staff will gift-wrap your items in a unique and charming style. Visiting the Tabby House is a wonderful experience.

    Across the street from Southern Soul - just use the handy crosswalk. I purchased two handmade wood pieces made by a local artisan.  A gem!

    Golden Isles Olive Oil - Salmon

    One of my favorite restaurants on the island! Excellent and very tasty food and drink options…read more Always a couple of excellent vegetarian or gluten free options. Cocktails are beautifully presented, esp recommend the lemon drop martini. It's in a converted Ponderosa Steak House location so that's a little weird, but they've upgraded it as well as possible. Store on left side of cafe also has nice gift options and outstanding choices of flavored olive oils and vinegars.

    Tried Golden Isles Olive Oil on a Tuesday as my wife saw an online Tuesday wine tasting $5 cover…read moreand made a reservation on Open Table. We sat at the bar but learned the Tuesday special was a flight of three bartender choice wines 2 oz pours for $15. Evidently the Wine tasting thing was not current. We've seen many restaurants don't update their web site so it's always a gamble when you show up. Not sure if it was an open table thing or the restaurant. Either way we enjoy wine so my wife ordered a red flight and I ordered a $6 happy hour Italian Pinot Noir. The Pinot was fine and decent pour and my wife sampled the flight. One of the wines was a little off and we both thought it may have soured. She mentioned it to the bartender and he shrugged it off and said it wasn't an old bottle. Mentioned it again and no big deal. Might have been nice to at least offer something else. I'd recommend ordering a glass of what you like rather than waste the $15. For dinner I wanted to try the seared pork ribeye but they were out of stock so I settled for the short rib sandwich on ciabatta bread. My wife ordered the beet and goat cheese salad which she enjoyed and thought was fine. The short rib sandwich was tasty enough but the bread was soft like it came out of a plastic bag. I was hoping for a better quality bread which is important for a sandwich. It wasn't something I would order again. Overall it's a really quaint place with isles of olive oil and items to purchase but the experience was a 2.0 and the food average 3.0 at best. I really expected a bit more especially from the look and feel of the place. Not sure I could get around to wanting to go back to try anything else on the menu. Bartender was nice but overall just not a good experience after a long day of work. I feel bad to leave an unsatisfactory score but I upped my 2.0 to 3.0 as ratings are important and it's probably at least a 3.0.
