Leslie, all three of us got the big plate and it was the perfect combination of everything they had on their menu. We all got sight variations and they were very accommodating to our orders. It is such a fun little spot that is a whole lot of local charm and vibrant energy about it! I would highly recommend going for brunch and I hope to go back for their other menus in the near future

We made our reservation a day or two in advance and when we got there the hostess led us to the second floor. The brunch menu has a myriad of pizza and salad and classic breakfast menu items to choose from.

I ordered the Tavern salad with a side of creamy potato salad and liked it.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

Mercy Me was easily the highlight of our night! We were attending an event at Yours Truly and…read moredecided to make a dinner reservation beforehand, and I'm so glad we did. The space itself is beautiful modern, stylish, and very aesthetically pleasing, but still relaxed and comfortable. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming from start to finish. The food was the real star, though. We had the Peruvian chicken with yuca, and the chicken was absolutely delicious. We also tried the chaufa-style fried rice with shrimp and crab, along with the shrimp and crab empanadas. Honestly, everything we ordered was good. The cocktails were great too. It is definitely on the pricier side our dinner for two with drinks was around $250, but we genuinely enjoyed the entire experience, so this was one of those times when I at least felt like the quality matched the splurge. I originally chose Mercy Me mostly because of the convenience of already being at the hotel for our event, but I would absolutely come back even without an event bringing me here. Great food, great drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful service. 10/10 experience.

The octopus is one of my litmus tests for a tasty restaurant. The octopus was chewy. I've had non-chewy octopus. The char dominated the flavor, or was the sole flavor. It wasn't unappetizing, but neither was it something requiring a reorder at a future date. You have to order a whole bottle to get the interesting Red choices other than: Noir, Malbec, and Cab. The menu wasn't extensive. That could be a good thing, excel at a few items rather than being average at a bunch. The bar itself is beautiful. It's the kind of place that would be impressive on a first date, classy but not intimate. The music is funky. Me like, but you'll have to emote of converse. Not a lot of conversation echo though, owing to the size of the room I guess. Service was quick, and the bartender circled around to check in. The GM stopped by to ask how I was doing. Although I tried to placate the "chewy", she insisted on a second shot at it. Up to that point this place was a 4: Visit only if in the area. But the service might nudge it to a 5: recommend to others. And swish! The second dish left the first in another stratosphere. It's the same dish, but the change in the tenderness of the octopus made the flavor palette explode!

I was surprised by how empty it was for a holiday evening, actually just as strange by how vacant and empty the whole area was. This used to be a very busy area. I started with a White Russian milkshake and it was quite good. Again, that happy hour pricing really made it worth it. My meal was the chicken and biscuits. Large biscuits, fresh, with a little honey and hot drizzle. The hash browns were a tad dry and didn't quite fit the meal I thought, but the chicken biscuits were good. Enjoyed those. BUT one point that was quite annoying: THE GRAVY COST EXTRA! The server tried to upsell me with the sausage gravy (+$3) but when I asked if that cost extra he demurred and said it was just something they asked. He wouldn't actually confirm that. Not cool. I don't like being upsold like it's McDonalds. Eating off my friend's plate I also liked the french fries that came with his steak and cheese sandwich. We also had the cornbread appetizer. Again, if not for that happy hour pricing.. Cornbread is uber cheap so getting four fingers of cornbread felt.. well.. not quite a value match. Service was a little hit or miss. We had a lot of people helping us it seemed, kind of a divided table. Everything is there but I'm just not used to the inflation pricing. Milkshake, cornbread, and the chicken and biscuits, with 20% tip, came out to over $40. This kind of food, at this level of service, .. I feel like I was overcharged or not given the happy hour pricing on something. This just didn't feel like $40 for one person. And they want to do everything on the machine and you don't actually get a paper receipt or a bill unless you ask for one. Which you should. I guess bottom line: Ted's is expensive for it's class and offerings, so it makes a good date spot, but for regular eating out I think there are places better priced.

My sister and I visited for her birthday dinner and were excited to try the bottomless dinner experience. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, and she made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Unfortunately, most of the dishes we ordered just didn't hit the mark. Some were overpowering, others lacked flavor, and a few came out soggy. My favorites of the night were the Tuna Crudo and Chicken Tikka Masala. I also made sure to let our server know about my peanut and tree nut allergy. She was very understanding and specifically told us that she would communicate with the kitchen to have the nuts removed from the hummus. Unfortunately, the hummus still came out with nuts on it. Thankfully, I caught it before eating it, but this is definitely an area where better communication between the kitchen and front-of-house staff is needed. Overall, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed by the experience. I think I'd still choose their brunch over their dinner offerings any day. Maybe I just caught them on an off night, but unfortunately, the bottomless dinner wasn't too great.

I love a good chicken and waffles so I was eager to try them out. I got to try the regular classic, peach ,and sample the Mac and cheese waffle. They were decent and I enjoyed what I had but it didn't move me to chorus. The fried green tomatoes were delicious. The biscuits for a cause were incredible. Hands down my favorite. Warm, fluffy, and paired perfectly with the jam and butter. The roasted half bird dish was a item on the special menu. They had a special on mimosas and had a few different dishes that weren't on the regular menu. The chicken was juicy and seasoned well. The green beans were nice and savory. Though the Mac and cheese left a bit to be desired. They complemented the dish but the green beans were definitely the standout. All in all, I'm not disappointed that I went but I can't say that I would return on my own accord. It's a very popular restaurant but I found the food to be a bit mid unfortunately.

If you have the chance, sit at the counter. It completely changes the experience…read more The restaurant was packed, but from our seats we had a front-row view of the kitchen. Watching the cooks work was mesmerizing. They moved with incredible speed and precision, almost like watching a perfectly choreographed ballet. What amazed me most was that they hardly spoke to each other, yet every dish came together flawlessly. Every movement had a purpose, and every plate seemed to find its way to the right person without any confusion. Seeing our meal prepared right in front of us made us appreciate it even more. From the first ingredient hitting the pan to the moment it was placed in front of us, the entire process was fascinating. The food was fantastic, but honestly, the performance in the kitchen was just as memorable. If you're planning to eat here, I highly recommend sitting at the counter.
