Tucked away in an unsuspecting corner of Downtown Macon, this fine dining English-style steakhouse established in 1997, offers an experience that unfolds slowly, from a puzzling entrance to a surprisingly polished dining room... and ultimately to some of the best food I've had in Middle Georgia. ARRIVAL + FIRST IMPRESSIONS Because Downtown Macon was buzzing on this particular Saturday night, my husband and I ended up parking a couple of blocks away and taking the alley the GPS insisted was our route. Let's just say the alley definitely had "first date horror movie" vibes--but the beautifully framed photos lining the walls helped cut the sketch factor a bit. Once inside, we were greeted by a friendly, outgoing staff... and immediately greeted by something else: the cigar smoke. Downtown Grill has a full bar with an impressive oak humidor and a selection of bourbons, wines, and scotches that could easily impress the most seasoned connoisseur. But that also means the bar area is smoky--very smoky. I actually questioned whether we'd wandered into the wrong place until the hostess whisked us to the back dining room, where the ambiance shifted entirely. The dining room is intimate, classic, and much more aligned with "fine dining." Cozy booths, dim lighting, soft background music, truly an escape. And once seated, I didn't smell the cigar smoke at all. Bonus points for the restrooms using cloth napkins for hand-drying, an eco-friendly and elegant touch. We had noted on our reservation that it was our anniversary, but there was no acknowledgment. Not a deal breaker, but definitely unexpected for a fine dining restaurant, especially one that's been around this long. Our server was polished, professional, and consistently attentive. No complaints there. I started with the Elderflower Refresher and my husband with an Old Fashioned, both solid. But the star of the cocktail lineup? The Lavender Margarita. An absolute hit and something I'd go back for alone. For an appetizer, we ordered the Lump Crab Cakes. As a Maryland native, my standards are sky-high. These weren't "lump" crab cakes, but for Middle Georgia they were acceptable. They were flavorful, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the aioli drizzled on top. Then came the French Onion Soup. I'd seen the rave reviews and they were absolutely justified, easily the best I've had in years. Rich, savory, cheesy perfection. We both opted for the special of the night, the Salmon. My husband's came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I chose broccoli and green beans. The verdict? 5 out of 5. The salmon was cooked with precision--flaky, flavorful, expertly seasoned. The veggies were fresh, vibrant, and seasoned beautifully. Truly, this was the best meal I've had in Middle Georgia, hands down. Downtown Grill may not be where I'd choose to celebrate a milestone (the lack of acknowledgment and smoky entrance made sure of that), but it is where I'll go when I want a reliably excellent, well-executed meal. The kitchen is clearly the star of the show, and they delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We'll absolutely be back, maybe not for the anniversary, but definitely for that food.

During last year's roadtrip, going back to Wisconsin from Florida we discovered this gem while…read morelooking at options on Yelp. The food and drinks experience last year was so good that we knew we needed to return, especially for the Lavender Lemon Fizz cocktail. Last year we found it on the way back home, this year we searched for pictures of the drink we had to figure out the location and thankfully we were successful. We were greeted and seated really quick. Our server Natalie came over to greet us and get our drink order. We told her that we had been there last year and liked it so much that we returned. She said that's great, the owner is here and he's going to love talking to you. Natalie brought us our drinks and took our order, then the owner came over to greet us. He was great to meet and talk to. Throughout the visit Natalie and others had excellent customer service. As for the food and drinks. My friend and I ordered the lavender lemon fizz, that we've wanted to replicate at home, and the guys ordered beer. Later we ordered an orange tea shot just to see what it tasted like (refreshing). All of the food we ordered was delicious and prepared perfectly. We loved the crispy Brussel sprouts as much as we did last year. I ordered a bacon Gouda burger minus the bun and that was delicious. My husband ordered the wedge salad and it came out looking great and he said it was really good. He normally doesn't finish his food but he didn't let it go to waste. Our friends enjoyed their meals as well. Natalie brought us out a dessert to celebrate our return, once a year trip. Service was 10+ out of 10 Drinks 10 out of 10 Well done and we are planning to stop by on our return trip home.

For a Monday it was a little crowded, however that may have been because of the World Cup. There's plenty of televisions to watch the games. They're also the official watch party location for the SPHL, Macon Mayhem hockey team! Let's go Mayhem, let's go! We sat at the bar. I did not want to wait for a table. I'm glad we did. The bartenders were amazing. They were friendly, outgoing, helpful and attentive. I'm torn between a 3 and 4 for rating because of food. Food was a bit lackluster. It tasted like any other bar food from any other chain restaurant. Nothing stood out. Cooked well? Yes. Executed well? Yes. Plated well? Yes. It was just overall underwhelming. I didn't take any leftovers. If you're looking for a place to watch the game, hangout, unwind with pages of drink options, and want to grab a bar bite, this would be ideal. Date night? No. Foodies? Skip it.

The Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls were just as amazing as I remembered, and the wings were cooked well. The food is definitely the highlight and the main reason I'll be returning to try more menu items. However, there were several areas that could use improvement. I ordered a tequila and pineapple juice drink, but it tasted watered down and lacked balance. It fell flat and wasn't very enjoyable. The blue cheese also wasn't appetizing and didn't pair well with my lemon pepper wings. I ended up using ranch instead, and I believe I was still charged for the blue cheese. The service was pleasant but inconsistent. My server was friendly and polite, which is why I still left a decent tip, but she didn't check on me as often as expected. I also found it unusual that I had to send my tip through Cash App because their payment system doesn't allow tips to be added directly to the receipt. That process felt inconvenient and outdated. The atmosphere has a lot of potential. The building itself is beautiful, and I love the overall ambiance. However, the seating could use some attention. I wore shorts, and the booth cushions were worn enough that they scratched my legs. The restaurant could also benefit from having a host or hostess. When you walk in, you're left to find your own seat, and there doesn't seem to be much guidance for guests. It appeared that there was only one server covering the dining area when I visited around 4:30-5:00 PM. While it wasn't particularly busy, having additional wait staff and a dedicated host would likely improve the customer experience significantly. The staff seemed nice and professional overall, but the restaurant would benefit from additional training, staffing, and a more organized front-of-house operation. Overall, I'd rate my experience 3.5 out of 5 stars. The food is absolutely on point and keeps me coming back, but improvements in service, seating, and guest hospitality would make a big difference. Cashman's Pub has tremendous potential, and with a few adjustments, it could easily become one of the area's top dining spots.
