Stopped here for after meal cocktails and I'm so glad we did! Cozy atmosphere and WONDERFUL drinks. The size of the space might seem small at first but it's actually just right - this is a great place to come, have a few drinks and visit with friends. I highly recommend the two "living room" chairs and table in the corner. Husband recommends the Old Figgy Fashioned and my French 75 was one of the best I've had outside of New Orleans. Can't wait to try the food next time!

My first impression soon after walking in was that this place was too small. Over the course of the evening my mind changed from too small to love for the quaint and intimate atmosphere. You can't help but talk to the people seated next to you. The owner / bar tender is a true mixologist and my martini could not have been shaken any better. I wanted Belvedere vodka for my martini but they didn't have any--no worries they ran to the liquor store next door and bought some. 5 stars for customer service! The food was wonderful. I can't say enough about the pimento cheese and salmon dip! Don't miss either of them. I will definitely be back!

Madison County needed this! Focusing on unique craft cocktails, The Briar Patch offers creative and unique flavors guaranteed to pack a pleasant punch. The decor is a Bird dog hunting club meets a modern farmhouse speakeasy. Perfect for creating a cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere. Overwhelmed by the pages of diverse drink options? No worries, let the waitstaff help you narrow down your drink choice based on your mood or preference. Drink: Peanut Charlie (this is why we came) Drink 2: Gin and Tonic (not your run-of-the-mill G&T) Small Plate: Mediterranean Plate (olive cheese!!) Dessert: Ask for the Peanut Charlie/ice cream drink (stay tuned for the name) - this the group favorite! Regular visits will ensue!!

This is my wife's happy place. She really likes it here and helps pay their rent through the purchase of multiple French 75 cocktails every week!

I had some of the best drinks at this place! Live music on Tuesday night was good. It had a very warm and cozy atmosphere.

Get the birria tacos but NOT the tamales. They are cheaply made with mostly bread…read more Traditional guacamole was good but expensive. Service was great.

Plato Feliz has officially earned a spot on my "never again" list. I ordered the Chimichanga El Oro…read morebecause it was reasonably priced. The shrimp and chicken chimichangas were good, but the steak was completely bland. No seasoning. No flavor. Nothing. But the food wasn't even the worst part. The restaurant had a sign outside advertising $5 mimosas today. I don't even drink mimosas, but because they were advertised as a special, I ordered one. Imagine my surprise when my bill showed $9.95 instead. When I questioned it, my server and two other employees informed me the special only applied from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Funny how that important detail wasn't on the sign that convinced me to order one in the first place. Instead of honoring the advertised price, they expected me to eat the extra charge because of information they failed to disclose. I paid because arguing over five dollars wasn't worth my time, but it's the principle. If you're going to advertise a special, advertise the entire special, not just the part that gets customers to buy. Businesses wonder why people stop supporting them. This is exactly why. Misleading advertising, no accountability, and no effort to make things right over a mistake that was entirely theirs. They lost a customer over $4.95. Not because of the money, but because of the dishonesty and poor customer service. I'll never be back, and I certainly won't recommend Plato Feliz to anyone. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere that values honesty and treats customers fairly.
