    Mai Thai and Ild Fashioned with HH menu
    Mike G.

    We've been the Reid's Apothecary a number of times and never are disappointed. We love the date night special on Wednesday and it is definitely one of our favorite places to visit. This time we sat at the bar and ordered a couple drinks. My wife ordered a HH Mai Thai and I ordered an old-fashioned. The old-fashioned are always good and most of the time they'll pour them on a round rock. This time I got a round rock on the third drink. We sampled a couple new things on the happy hour menu. My wife ordered the girl dinner and I ordered the Smashburger. We started with an order of mussels which came out hot and fresh. A smaller portion than I remembered but nice enough. We heard that the original chef is back and I could definitely tell that the mussels were a different style. In the past, the mussels were always very good, however, more of a tomato base but this time they were more of a white wine traditional flavor. They were excellent. I loved the mussels and would definitely order again. The lady dinner came with a salad and french fries with an espresso martini. For $20. The Smashburger was $12. It was delicious and featured a bacon jam, which was really tasty. Bacon flavor in every bite. Amazing. There is a double Smashburger on the actual menu with fries for $18 but I chose to do the happy hour single smash burger. Again, we were very pleased as always, and stuck around for a couple more drinks. I love the old-fashioned here and recommend to my friends all the time. It's definitely a place to go in Brunswick. One of my favorites. Thanks for the great service.

    Old fashioned

    Saturday afternoon around 4, visit with family. Here is what we liked: * Based on the hostess greeting, the server that came out was amazing. Friendly and interactive. * Cocktails were good. I think I sampled everyone's, and most were really good. *Place had a cool vibe What could of been better: *This almost ruined the visit. Walk in and the hostess, young lady looked at us and mumbled. We explained how many people we had 5 with one more joining us. Just stared at us and looked confused. Said we could sit at the bar. The place was mostly empty. Asked again about seating and she seemed lost. A member of party asked if we could sit there, and pointed and the hostess states " I guess so" it was the weirdest interaction I have ever had with a hostess. She seemed lost. We were debating whether we should even stay. Overall we enjoyed the visit once we got past the door. Will give them another chance

    Came in for Valentines' Day and was pleasantly surprised. Normally I don't expect good service on holidays solely because the kitchen and staff are swamped but that wasn't an issue during our visit. We were seated immediately and greeted at our table promptly. The drinks were absolutely amazing. We ordered a lemon drop and a Moscow mule. Both drinks were perfectly balanced all the flavors meshing well together (shoutout to the bartender) The food was decent, I've had better mussels and short ribs. Service 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Food 6/10

    The food was pretty good. Not quite worth the price, but I honestly don't ever think expensive food is worth it. Haha good if you want a bougie place to spend a lot. Seafood was fresh. Mussels were tasty! The steak and mashed potatoes were pretty amazingly seasoned. Brussel sprouts were a bit overly salty. For as much as this place is hailed online as "gluten free" there was a very sparse GF menu to select from. Staff were pretty knowledgeable about it though and offered plenty of helpful tips. The restaurant was a bit cold with people going in and out, but it's also unusually cold these days. Downside was the price, I'd say stay in and cook but for a special occasion it wasn't bad!

    Chocolate old fashioned
    Quinncee P.

    I stopped in here just for some drinks while in town. I had an espresso martini and a chocolate old fashioned at the bar, really enjoyed them both, especially the old fashioned. No issues here with the service, the bartender was attentive and super nice. At the time of evening I went, it was a more intimate atmosphere with lower lights. The speakeasy side had a fun live band so I ended up going over there to check it out. That side has another bar and more casual seating. Had a nice night and would definitely recommend this place!

    Have visited this restaurant twice in my travel to Brunswick. Food has been amazing each time with great service. It's a small quaint place and reservations are needed for table service. However walk in are taken at the bar with same level of service and menu.

    Aperol Spritz

    What a great spot right in downtown Brunswick with lovely menu and amazing cocktails. Sunday Supper is a fantastic deal - choice of 3 proteins (beef teriyaki, chicken piccata, or fried shrimp) and 3 sides (or double up on 2), plus choice of dessert (sponge cake, brownie, ice cream) for just $18. They also offer 4 staple menu items and prime rib dinner. Miss Sam took great care of us and ensured we had everything we wanted - all the dips, next round of drinks, etc. Reid's and their speakeasy, The Study, holds a special place in our hearts because we held our wedding after party in The Study. Both will be a fixture on our future visits back to the area.

    The food was excellent, atmosphere and service- outstanding! The bottomless mimosas are the best bargain!

    Gemice W.

    The food was delicious and made to order our server was on point and the ambiance was amazing! Only problem was they ran out of the shrimp and grits and that was one of the main dishes we wanted to try but definitely coming back to give it another try!

    Grilled lobster and cheese on sourdough- delicious!

    This is an update. We have been to Reid's three other times and had been very happy with the food and service although the noise level has always bothered us. Today we went for lunch. When the foursome beside us, who arrived after us, received their food, our waitress stopped by to say our food was coming up next. We then watched as food was brought out to a table that had been seated at least 15 minutes after us. We finally got our food about 30 to 35 minutes after we ordered it. Our water glasses which were over 75% empty were finally filled when the check was brought to the table. We had to ask for a pen to fill out the credit card slip. Btw- there is a charge for using a credit card although I did not see a notice on that anywhere. Hopefully I just missed it. The noise level was insane. We had to ask the waitress to repeat herself as we literally could not hear her. The noise really ruined our time as we had trouble hearing each other talk. Too bad as the food was very good. I had the crab sandwich and my husband had the shrimp and grits. He thought the shrimp and grits were very flavorful but for $23 he expected a bit more- maybe even just some more grits. The manager did give us a 10% discount for the wait however until the noise level is fixed we will not be returning.

    Avocado Toast
    Stacy G.

    I can't. Literally heartbroken and according to my husband, "we are never, ever coming back". I've waited for a year to come here and to all my friends, why did you lie to me?! My husband has vowed to never mention Reid's to anyone he knows. We made reservations for 1:30 on a Saturday and arrived approximately 15 minutes early. We were seated by the sweet hostess and pleased to see the brunch menu. She brought us water and when the waiter had not spoken with us, she reminded him we were seated. As the crowd increased, the music was turned up. It got extremely loud. This must be fairly common since I've read other complaints pertaining to the noise level. I ordered the bottomless mimosas and my husband opted for water. We placed our food order and asked for everything to be brought at the same time. The total time for our visit was approximately two hours with most of the time spent waiting for food. Part of our order was brought by a different waiter. The avocado toast was good, but looked completely different from pictures I had seen previously. My husband's "wedge (Caesar, pickled)" salad was half a head of lettuce coated in dressing. Zero pickled anything, brown and wilted on the outside, and bitter in the middle. He said the dressing made it edible after working around the brown lettuce. The rest of our order was brought by yet another employee. I got the duck confit benedict and my husband had the ribeye with eggs. I had to send mine back when I saw the eggs were way overdone and hard. Both of our potato sides were riddled with tiny, burnt pieces and huge potato chunks. The steak was so thin it would have been impossible to cook it anything other than well done. I was out of orange juice and had to wave down a random waitress. My husband's water was not refilled until we were finished and had the bill. We saw our waiter when receiving the second benedict and refilling the water once. The hostess asked how our meal was and we simply said "not very good". She was so kind I didn't have the heart to say much else. $80+ for brunch is fine when it's an $80 brunch experience. This was absolutely not. Overall, I have had worse food and service but definitely not with the high expectations and even higher price. Disclaimer: If management leaves a comment on this please know, your time would be better spent reviewing what the past experiences were and comparing to current ones. Ask yourself why food looks completely different and service has gone downhill. Correct it and please let me know when you do then we would love to try again for a dinner service.

    Low Country Bouillabaisse
    Michael O.

    The restaurant experience was a 5 star experience. Went with friends and had cocktails, appetizers & entrees. Our server was very sweet & patient with us as we were also going to The Study after our dinner and slowly had our meal. We started with the Tomato Bisque & Arancini both were fantastic. For the entrees we had the Low County Bouillabaisse, Shrimp & Grits, salad with blackened shrimp & Arrabbiata Gnocchi. The Low Country Bouillabaisse was awesome with shrimp, mussels, crab with a nice filet of fish placed on top of a bowl of pasta with the red sauce. The Shrimp & Grits was a big serving and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The Gnocchi as well as the salad with shrimp were ample and excellent too. The ambience is what I would call industrial. But, nicely lighted, good spacing between tables and moderate in reference to sound. If just going for a cocktail the bar area seats around 10 people and seems welcoming. After our meal we had the password for The Study which was set up nicely with soft lighting. There was a band called Hot Banana Coffee who were very good. They played 70's to current rock songs. We ordered a couple of Ole' Fashions & Gin & Tonic. Unfortunately, the Ole' Fashion was like a shot of Bulliet Bourbon with water & a twist of orange. No depth of flavor. And the Gin & Tonic was a weak pour. So, that is why the rating for the whole experience is 4 stars. Definitely will be back for a dinner but probably will pass on going to The Study! But, all in all we had a very nice evening. Thank you!

    Been here a few times and it is always delicious. They are next level. Fresh ingredients and very unique menu items. I had the lamb with a very nice risotto. So good!! Deb had the special which was a bit of everything it looked like. So many good flavors. Our server was awesome. So friendly. You can't go wrong here.

    EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! Been searching for a decent brunch in…read morethe area and my wife suggested Woodside. My experience is that many places just don't deliver the quality expected and I'm often disappointed. I'll have to say, Woodside delivered! This place is clearly elevated, elegant, and the food is prepared with culinary skill. From the moment we stepped inside, I could tell the atmosphere was classy and quaint. We were greeted by our server Buddy and the bartender. My instincts were that this was going to be good. I was still cautious. Buddy seated us appropriately and brought us menus and filtered water. We both started with coffee and to my surprise Buddy brought a large urn of French press coffee, whole cream and sugar cubes, I absolutely love French Press coffee but rarely see it at a restaurant. I make it at home and it definitely adds to the enjoyment of a good cup of coffee. Definitely a step above here. We looked at the brunch menu and found it hard to decide as there were so many interesting selections that I wanted to try. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and I ordered the Croque Madame. As I deliberated, Buddy suggested that I'd stick with my first impression and that I would not be disappointed. I thought it was very classy the way he presented that and it makes sense that sometimes one should go with their first instinct, rather than wonder if they made the right choice later. Again, there were just so many things I wanted to try. When our meals came out, we were both pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste. This was not ordinary breakfast, but I had a good price point for what you get. It was really about the same cost as most breakfast places on the island, but such higher quality and sophistication. I can honestly say this was the best brunch experience I've had in many years and we've frequent a lot of places. The Croque was so tasty, complex and abundant and even the french fries were excellent. My wife's Benedict was also very special as it was rich, fresh, and absolutely clear it was prepared by a chef. The Latkas were a tasty complement. Overall, this was an outstanding experience and I just didn't want to leave. I can't wait to return for dinner to experience it. I believe the menu changes daily and I would definitely recommend Woodside as an elevated dining experience. I am happy to rate this a true 5.0 as it is the best food I've had in the Brunswick/SSI area over the past 6 months. Buddy was great and clearly understands service etiquette. Thanks so much for helping us enjoy a truly nice experience.

Every dish we had was exquisite, the wine perfect, cocktails on point, and service second to none.
