The service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, and every recommendation was spot on. The cocktails were divine, the prosciutto and melon appetizer was fresh and refreshing, my filet with peppercorn sauce was perfectly cooked and absolutely outstanding, and my husband's pork belly was unique, flavorful, and delicious. We finished with the banana dessert and the chocolate dessert, and both were incredible. Lion's Share strikes the perfect balance of luxe, romantic, and relaxed. The food and service are truly top-tier, and the classic rock soundtrack was the perfect finishing touch. We had such a wonderful evening and are already looking forward to our next visit! Hopefully for happy hour matinee 4 to 5:30 daily.

From the moment you walk in, the space strikes a rare balance -- beautifully decorated yet entirely unpretentious, elegant without feeling stiff. It's the kind of place where you settle in and immediately feel at home. The service matched the setting perfectly. Warm, attentive, and genuinely gracious -- the staff here make you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just another table to turn. But the real star is the food. Every dish showed real care and intention. The avocado starter alone is worth the visit -- a standout that set the tone for an outstanding meal from start to finish. The kitchen is clearly working at a high level, delivering elevated cooking that never loses sight of the fact that a great meal should, above all, be enjoyable. Lion's Share is the rare restaurant that gets everything right. Don't walk -- run.

Our server, Gray, was wonderful and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Everyone on staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided outstanding service.

Such a fun vibe from the moment you walk in. Now let's talk about the food. The shrimp and grits were absolutely fire, easily in the top 5 I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. The shrimp were juicy and succulent, and the sauce was rich, savory, and perfectly balanced with a little kick of spice. Honestly, I daydream about this dish often. Their drink menu is a good time too. Two chambongs for $10? Say less. And their espresso martini was so good. Caribbean Mimosa was a bit sweet but the passion fruit flavor was tasty. The bar service was fantastic, friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely fun. Food came out quickly, even with how busy they were. This is definitely a popular brunch spot for groups, so I'd recommend making reservations. The restaurant is two stories with a great upstairs outdoor seating area. If you're looking for a lively brunch spot with great music, amazing food, fun drinks, and top-notch service, this is the place. I look forward to coming back!

The Skye keys provided by the hotel staff didn't work so it took a few tries to make it up, but once we did we were rewarded with a twinkly view of the State Capitol, baseball stadium and everything in between. There was live music until 10:30, which enhanced the vibe. Seating is first come, and the drinks were strong enough yet subtly delicious with well balanced tart, sweet and spicy notes. We checked out the restaurant side of the spot, which is huge and has a panoramic city view as well as many minimalist tables for hanging out and noshing on sushi. Good spot for an impromptu nightcap with a fantastic, commanding city view.

The sushi was decent--I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10--but I've had similar quality at better price points elsewhere. The menu lacked variety--basically sushi and drinks, no sides--and I felt the prices leaned on the higher side. The service had some room for improvement, too. Our server seemed stretched thin--handling multiple tables at once--and the energy wasn't quite what we hoped for. All that said, the ambiance is lovely, and if you're there for the view and a relaxed evening, it's a solid option. Just manage expectations on the hype!

It was a Wednesday night, so it wasn't busy at all. First of all, the Hermitage Hotel is gorgeous and the decor downstairs is too. Light but not too bright, with very mid century modern vibes. Our server (Zach) was fantastic throughout the whole process. We both started the night with the Milk Punch (sweet, smooth, tastes like the holidays). The table bread was sooo tasty: salty and soft. For apps, we got the egg toast (crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside, salty on top, delicious all around), the crispy sushi (the crunch mixed with the soft sea trout was a great juxtaposition), and the summer corn soup (ohhh boy was it good). The mushroom risotto (creamy and lemony) and prime beef tenderloin (perfectly cooked with a great sear) rounded out the meal. We got the side of mashed potatoes too, but it was sadly more like a potato puree than mashed potatoes. We ended with the warm chocolate cake (honestly, not that great. Good enough to finish, not good enough to order again) and the sour cherry pie (liked it way better than the cake, but the pistachio ice cream tasted artificial). The overall experience was truly amazing and worth five stars. And ask for Zach, because he will definitely take good care of you!

Amongst the 4 of us, we had Chilean Sea Bass (2), Teriyaki Salmon, a 10 oz filet, basket of bread, chophouse corn, blackened brussels sprouts, and wine. ALL excellent. We were celebrating a guests birthday, and Sam treated us to a Warm Butter Cake that was enough to share. I was expecting it to be good, but it exceeded my expectations. Will return often.

Entrees were average at best, and took a long time to come out. The shrimp cocktail arrived with the shrimp still deveined. Both the shrimp and crab cocktails came with ice that had already melted by the time they hit the table, which doesn't inspire confidence in freshness. The asparagus was essentially raw, like it hadn't been properly prepped before going out. For the price point, I'd also expect a bit more of a dress code -- right now it feels more like a hookup bar than a serious dining room. Eddie V's is a far superior experience for the same money.

Slightly dim, thrum of conversation throughout, but not overpowering. It was exactly what we were looking for. Service was amazing and attentive the whole time. Not too present, not hipster barrista absent. And the bread! Started off the night with the appetizer special, arancinis. Perfectly fried on the outside, deliciously soft on the inside. Next we moved on to the Caesar, made at table side and it really hit the spot. My wife got the halibut special as her entree. It was cooked to perfection though she wished she'd gotten a true "Italian" dish instead (she had her eye on the lobster ravioli). I thought the halibut was delicious , but I probably would have preferred if she got the ravioli too. I really wanted the chicken parm for some reason and I'm glad I got it. Crispy chicken that was cut thin but somehow still moist. Linguini that had just enough sauce but not overpowering. I was incredibly pleased. I honestly think we'll be back sometime soon.
