You'd be hard pressed to find a better bathroom east of the Mississippi. All the folks who work here are super friendly and wear nice outfits. We ate at the market because my wife didn't make a reservation at the real restaurant. If you eat outside in the summer, it's obviously hotter than satan's armpit. Prepare to sweat. My smash burger was spot on. I thought maybe the beef could stand alone better with less accompaniment. My wife's BLT was light and refreshing. I'd get that next time. You should most definitely try Botanic. This note is for the owner/management, if you read these. The place need some process improvements. It's confusing for a first time guest because of the flow patterns and dearth of signs. The waiters from the Market have to walk all around the place to find the right table to deliver food. It's inefficient. There has to be a better way.

This is the same person that helped me last time I was in town and the only other time I've been here. She is super helpful and talks you through all the options. Came in at happy hour which is $3 off all drinks from 4:00 to 8:00 Monday thru Friday. I got a great well-made old fashioned for $7.63! Old school prices for the old school ambiance. It's a bit of a hike getting up the stairs to the place but it is worth it as you feel transported back in time. Well decorated with great music. Great place to chill and relax from the summer heat. Will definitely return next time I'm in town.

Anytime I'm visiting the area, I love to stop in to this cute cocktail spot! It's a college town,…read moreso it's kind of unexpected because it doesn't only cater to students. It gives speak easy vibes, and the lighting and seating make it comfortable. They even have a cocktail for a cause with donations given to an organization when that specific drink is purchased. I loved that they were celebrating Harry Potter's birthday, and we enjoyed potions that represented our houses. (I'm Gryffindor if you're curious.) It was slow, but I like to come in when the university doesn't have athletic events or fall/spring classes aren't in session. The bartenders were kind & helpful when we asked questions. There's parking in front of the door & the surrounding areas, so depending when you go, it may be easy or difficult to park. Love: chestnut club (gin-based, suggested by the bartender); vibes (really good energy here)

Drinks were fabulous (try the Peach Mule) and we crushed the bacon flight (fought over who could get the last maple bite). Then we had shrimp and grits, bison burger and a Caesar. All were flavorful and some of the best we've ever had. Our server was training tonight but his apprentice was just as knowledgeable and attentive - in fact he helped us with drink selection and ensured we had bottles of water flowing since we were so dehydrated from the day. Cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Thank you friends at the Hound - hit the spot.

Food: 3.5 Service: 5 stars…read more We tried sooo many items on the menu. We had the pork skins, wings, and bacon flight for starters. The pork skins were very good and crispy. The wings were wayyy too big and felt undercooked, and the bacon flight was unremarkable. The entrees were also okay. The best was the shrimp and grits which I would return on this dish only. Evrything was just too too salty. My palate was ruined after a while. The rest were just okay, but I did like the greens. Standout was that bread pudding. Grab a friend to help you or keep it all for yourself!!

Our host sat us down promptly and wished me a "Happy Birthday", which made me feel special on my day. The establishment was well decorated, and the vibe was very relaxed. After about 10 minutes of being seated, we get water. We started noticing that more people were arriving and getting drink orders in while we were not even acknowledged. Then these customers placed their orders, while we were still waiting to place our drink order. After about 30 minutes of waiting to order a glass of wine, we decided to leave. This experience made me feel extremely disappointed and we have decided to never return or recommend to anyone because of this.

Before my parents even ordered a drink they brought the appetizer and the dessert out together (???) I even told the girl on the phone that I wanted to order them something to start and something to end their meal. Very strange to bring a dessert out with the appetizer before they even eat dinner?! The reservation was at 6:30 pm! The "lightly fried" artichokes were very fried. My mom ordered the chicken piccata which looks like boiled chicken and the noodles were all stuck together and inedible. Very disappointing for their anniversary. They have a great building and hope they can turn this around.

We came Valentine's Day weekend from Columbus, GA after attending mass. He really wanted to take me here and I'm so glad he did. We had the bread and butter which was to die for! I think they gave us too much butter over bread ratio, but l'm not complaining haha. So warm, soft, fluffy and delish the bread was. I don't think we talked much when we had our wagyu steak main course cause it was so good, we couldn't say a word to each other. The pepper sauce with the perfectly cooked medium rare steak (which came cut in two pieces, which is a really genius move to serve steak by the way), with white asparagus, caramelized onion, rose petals, and just pure deliciousness. Literally chef's kiss. We also couldn't make up our mind about desserts cause they had a Valentine's dessert menu and the couple sitting next to us also recommended the cookies and milk. Yeah- I'm really lucky and very spoiled. Definitely hit a sugar high, but absolutely worth it. Servers and greeters were also all so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend :) I think this is the nicest dinner anyone has ever treated me to. Thanks for my amazing boyfriend- I'm so grateful.

Let me start by saying the building is beautiful and the atmosphere feels like a nice restaurant. Also, the cocktail menu was definitely curated by someone who knows what they are doing. The appetizer Barrotta cheese was the best part of the evening. With that being said, the entrees were lackluster and small. Our food came out lukewarm at best and honestly seemed like not a lot of thought went into them. I know that this restaurant is supposed to be upscale, but I don't think I should pay 55$ per persons meal and still leave hungry. Also, the staff needs training. The whole time it felt like they were concerned with fast turn over and nothing else. Part of upscale dining is that the price of food and quality of service is more important than turn over time. Generally speaking I will not be back to eat here again.
