Fernita Allen★★★★★

My husband and I visited here on Valentines day for lunch before going to the Giants exhibit. Elizabeth our server was amazing! We had great conversation the whole time and her food recommendations were great. We enjoyed the oysters, scallops, crab roll, and waygu steak. The mocktails were yummy 😋 We highly recommend and having Elizabeth to serve you. We look forward to returning again soon. Thank you 😊

A great date night spot! We enjoyed the view of the VMFA sculpture garden while we ate dinner. We had Moscow mules, a spinach salad, and shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits were especially delicious! Due to the price, definitely a special occasion spot but worth the splurge.

Went with the family for a Saturday brunch. The assistant server Brian was very friendly, welcoming and responsive. Our server, Elizabeth, was very average. We waited a good amount of time before she greeted us and took our drink orders. The server had trouble recognizing the Prosecco we chose and she needed to count where it was on the menu when notating it. She erroneously thought we had a birthday and then she noted it was good we ordered our food quickly because it would be getting very busy. Expect this from Chili’s not a place like Amuse! We really enjoyed the appetizer of fried paneer a

Savor with Tonya★★★★★

This dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, comforting flavors. The mushroom steak was tender and well-seasoned, paired perfectly with a smooth, creamy base that added warmth and balance to every bite. The sauce was bold and savory without being overpowering, and the roasted vegetables brought a nice contrast in texture. The finishing touches of microgreens and plating showed real attention to detail. Overall, it felt like a thoughtfully prepared, elevated comfort dish—satisfying, flavorful, and definitely memorable.
