Absolutely phenomenal brunch! Truly everything on the menu is ten out of ten!
The short ribs were so tender you didn't need a knife! The grits were super creamy and paired well with the crab, the ricotta pancakes were the fluffiest most addicting pancakes and arguably our favorite thing on the menu. I feel like there was so much attention to detail in each dish we tried. The menu did a great job of having variety without having an overwhelming amount of choices and everything was reasonably priced.
I came here years ago and it was not nearly as good. The new executive chef and new menu has now made this our go to place! -
What a cool place! History, art, delicious cocktails and food. Great place for a business dinner or a fun night out. The restrooms were also memorable. -
I love the ambiance of this restaurant. Its so beautiful and I loved how tastefully art was intertwined through the restaurant. The food was fresh and was made to season as you preferred. The waitress was nice and so was the manager. I would go back to experience different dishes. I really liked the atmosphere. I stayed at the 21c Museum Hotel and Counting House completed the experience. -
We had a flawless dinner experience! Highly recommend. The tomato and peach salad was like nothing I’ve ever had- my husband and I both loved it! The Japanese milk bread was fantastic! Chef Melanie Wilkerson is very clever and uses high quality, fresh ingredients. The drinks were excellent! I had the “who rule the world” cocktail, yum!! The staff were very attentive and friendly! Will definitely return!
We also returned for breakfast. The egg white frittata was delicious! The pancakes were perfect! Love love love this place! -
I had an amazing time! I came in with a group of friends, and Sara and Rachael were incredible! Amazing drinks, hands down best Old Fashioned I’ve ever had! They were so friendly and attentive, and again, BEST OLD FASHIONED EVER! Thank you for the experience!
