A friend had an old fashioned and the A Certain Slant cocktail. He enjoyed both. One friend was alcohol intolerant and tried the Blanche Dubois which they enjoyed immensely. The vibe and aesthetic are cozy and elegant. Service was fast and welcoming. It took a moment to find the entrance. Though we did miss the initial sign pointing in the direction of the bar and then the bar sign hanging from the side of the building itself. The entrance is located directly to the right of Tokyo Alley. Loved the outdoor space walking up to the entrance itself. This could be amazing for warmer temperature days. Will be going back for sure!

The Manhattan Cafe is a cozy dive bar in downtown Athens…read more It's not much to look at from the outside. 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!

All of the drinks I've had (espresso martini, margarita, cosmo, and redline) are very strong! I recommend ordering off the signature drink section (on the front part of the menu) because they are crafted and taste better than the generic bar drinks (on the back bottom part of the menu). My husband loves the raspberry sour. The place has indoor and outdoor seating with ambient lighting. The decor and vibes are nice, mature, and upscale. There are two single stall bathrooms available for use. The hours are unique, so I'd keep that in mind if you're planning on spending time here (Tues-Sat 5-10pm). Great place for parties of 2-6ish! We have enjoyed starting and ending our nights of drinking here.

If you plan on visiting, I highly recommend making a reservation or getting there right when they open. The restaurant is on the smaller side, and bar seating is limited, so it fills up quickly. The space is beautiful, modern, and inviting. The cocktails were well-crafted, but the food was definitely the star of the show. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into every dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I can already tell this will be a place I'll return to whenever I'm back in Savannah. Highly recommend!

WOW! Best and freshest sushi in town. I'm genuinely blown away at this amazing meal and experience…read more The service was amazing, we had made reservations for later but they had a table earlier that was snagged. Antonio and he's trainee were absolutely welcoming and great! We both started with some of the seasonal cocktail which were hard to choose from because so many sounded so good! The meal started with splitting the churro carpaccio which absolutely melted in your mouth! It was so light and flavorful that we knew it could only get better and did. We split 3 rolls - The triangle, star war, tuna on fire. The fish was ever so fresh and light. Each Roll was so flavorful and exceeded expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more!

Ambiance is super cute (it's a re-purposed, historic gas station located on the town's square) with both indoor and outdoor seating. I got the Grilled Marinated Vegetable Wrap. It's pre-made and refrigerated; I really appreciated the cashier offering to heat it up on the grill. The wrap was filled to the brim with caramelized onions, squash, and broccolini plus tangy goat cheese- messy but delicious. The menu said it's served with chipotle aioli, but I didn't get that on the side (possible it was already in the wrap, but I wasn't really able to distinguish it). There are a few dedicated parking spots for the Sinclair. I believe all the parking in Downtown is free too, but it was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. 10/10 would recommend!

We found our favorite BBQ place…read more It was our first time here and we came in a large group. Hailee gave us 5 start service and made sure we had everything we needed. She refilled my drink 3-4 times and made sure everything was perfect for all of us. We had the sausage and the lean cut brisket with the sweet Bbq sauce and the mustard one. Delicious. The burger is next on our list to try. It's huge and hand made with brisket! I wish I got a pic of it before it got eaten at our table. The bar looks like a great hangout as well, so this will be a great neighborhood hang out. The manager was nearby to make sure we were happy as well. We loved this attentive staff! The sides were great. We enjoyed the broccoli rice, coleslaw, green beans and collard greens. They were all delicious, the dishes come with a sample of the coleslaw and it is tasty. I also sampled the Mac and cheese which was delicious. The wood and brick decor compliments the lighting and gives the place a classy yet warm atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back! I'm

Got the brisket and it was decently cooked and quality of the meat was good. But the extreme salt content made it non edible. I am not even sure that I tasted any smoke flavor to the meat..

Even taking the brisket off it left so much salt that we couldn't eat much of it. Upside aside from service is their sides. Brunswick stew and loaded potato salad were awesome.

My wife and I recently visited The Wildmount in Aiken to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. We…read morewere really looking forward to the experience, especially because the menu is somewhat unusual and had several dishes that sounded very appealing. Unfortunately, our experience was mixed. The service started out very well. Our original server was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. However, as the restaurant became busier, the service declined noticeably. It seemed as though the larger groups were receiving much more attention than the tables of two. At some point, our original server and another server appeared to switch tables, and unfortunately, the second server was not nearly as attentive. By the middle of our meal, we felt like we had been forgotten. The food was also a mixed experience. I ordered the Bison Ribeye. The flavor was good, but the steak was surprisingly thin and was not cooked to the medium temperature I requested. In appearance, it reminded me more of a steak you might get at a diner than what I expected from a restaurant like The Wildmount. My wife ordered the chicken with fettuccine. Unfortunately, she found it far too salty and heavy on the garlic, which made the dish difficult to enjoy. Overall, it seemed to us that the chef was trying to incorporate too many different flavors, and they didn't always complement each other. We really wanted to love The Wildmount, particularly since we chose it for a special occasion. There are some interesting ideas on the menu, and our first server certainly made a good impression. However, based on our anniversary dinner, the food and especially the service did not live up to our expectations. Hopefully, this was just an off night, because The Wildmount has the potential to be a very good restaurant.
