My husband and I split the ribeye steak dinner, it comes with two sides. You'll see from the pictures that the servings sizes are massive here. The steak was seasoned well and didn't need any steak sauce. My daughter gives the adult grilled cheese and tomato bisque a 10/10. The hubster ordered the pistachio on the rocks drink and it was really delicious. The old fashioned was exactly what I wanted and expected - airing perfectly with the ribeye steak.

You can enter off the Town Square and immediately know you've found something special. This was our first time, but we've already been back, and both times the meals were delicious. They have probably the best chicken-salad sandwich that I have ever tasted, on a buttery, golden brown, toasted, sandwich bread that gives it just the right texture, and crunch. Add a cold, sweet, tea or a drink from the bar, to your lunch and you have a wonderful meal. The wait staff was attentive and very accommodating to our every need. The prices are very reasonable and the food exceptional.

My husband and I decided to dine at The Silver Moon after it had been recommended to us by several…read morepeople. There was a wait when we arrived, so he added our name to the list on the board and we chose to enjoy the outside sitting area while we waited. I sipped on a sangria while hubby ordered a pomegranate martini. My sangria did not lack in the alcohol department, but it was a little weak in the flavor department. Hubby's pomegranate martini was a better choice...a subtle sweetness with a nice alcohol content. Other customers commented about how strong their cosmos were. A few had to ask for more cranberry juice to make them palatable. Conversations with other guests and the bartender for the outside bar prompted numerous appetizer and entree recommendations once they learned we were visiting for the first time. From bbq shrimp and Philly Cheesesteak Spring Rolls appetizers to fish-n-chips, fried shrimp, and chicken tenders entrées to peanut butter pie, strawberry shortcake, and bread pudding desserts, everyone shared so many options that were "sooo good". Hubby and I ordered the bbq shrimp appetizer. It did not disappoint. Now this wasn't the same type of bbq that would be on ribs or chicken from the grill. This was a scrumptious butter, worcestershire, spicy sauce that was worthy of being licked off of our fingers and sopped up with the delicious crusty exterior, pillowy soft interior bread that was served with it. Definitely 10/10 would recommend. For our entrées, we both selected the option recommended to us by our fantastic waiter, Cody...fish and chips with fried shrimp. We both opted to swap the chips (fries) out for the parmesan cheese grits as recommended by a guest in one of those previous conversations. Again, all recommendations were fabulous! The fish and shrimp were seasoned and fried perfectly with a crispy but not over battered exterior. It was served with cocktail and tartar sauces and a coleslaw that was unique in that it had an onion flavor. It was edible, but it wasn't my favorite. I would likely swap it out with another side next time...and based on tonight's experience, there will definitely be a next time. The only down side was that hubby and I ordered bread pudding desserts to go. When we opened them later, they were drastically different. One was lighter in color and was delicious while the other was much darker and seemed like it may have been overcooked. The flavors differed between the two as well. After such a great meal and experience, it was a bit disappointing to have it all end this way. If possible, I would have taken off half a star because everything and everyone else was great.

For a ritz Carlton I'd expect much better quality wise and menu wise. Very few healthy options. A lot of fried food (it is the south) and poor quality of chicken in healthy options like the chicken salad. I tried the seared tuna bowl one day and the tuna was low quality , definitely not Ritz level. Overall they need a new menu and new chefs

If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

Sit inside at cozy tables or at the custom built mahogany bar, or outside on the patio where you can enjoy that favorite cigar or smoke.
