The Nightbird speakeasy. A hidden (actually) gem in Oxford. We sought out this place while in…read moreOxford and found the hidden door and voila, we were in. I ordered a jungle bird and my wife ordered an espresso martini. This place is super cool, if not just for the fact that it's hidden and you have to find it. The jungle bird was tiki strong and delicious with dark rum as the main. The espresso martini was also awesome flavor and strong. The Nightbird is a cool little hidden gem. Check it out, if you can find your way in.

And it was truly a hulking mountain of fries! - Avocado toast - One of the best we've ever tried So we loved the food and the service was exceptional. And it was also very affordable - before tipping, we paid $61 for a three-person meal (3 entrées, only water). This is the best dining experience we've had in Mississippi so far. Highly recommended!

Just a chill atmosphere for some equivalently chill beverages. If you sit at the bar, be prepared to have a friendly chat with proprietor Joe, who also artfully crafted the menu. The offering features generous pours and generous deals at happy hour, which runs 4-6. Cocktails are the star here, although a thoughtful selection of select wine and beer awaits if that's your jam. Tonight, Sip It Trebek caught my eye and I'm glad it did. "What is bourbon with a fig liqueur and some bitters, Alex?" Bar Muse is one of those places you wish was near your home, no matter where home might be. Peace from the pace.

The young lady behind the bar was great at taking our order, but the bar manager who had to pour the wine was awful.

Drinks: We decided to purchase a bottle of Prosecco and we asked for all 3 mimosa juice mixers on the side to make our own mimosas. Highly recommend if you're going with friends to make it more cost effective and the drinks more boozy. Ambiance: STUNNING! Cutest decorations. There's outside seating and private rooms that I'd like to utilize next time I go. There was no wait time and it wasn't too loud like other restaurants at breakfast. Service: So kind, attentive, and patient! I'm not from the south but I felt like it was the epitome of southern hospitality. Our server was really great.It was great seeing the hotel and restaurant managers out and about and visible as well. Don't waste your time waiting 2+ hours for other breakfast and brunch restaurants.

Our waiter didn't share any daily specials with us, but after we ordered we heard him telling the next table about the different selections for the evening. Even though I had made reservations for 2, we were sat in the very last booth, upstairs by the bathrooms. I didn't say anything at the time, (even though I was on crutches and we had to climb stairs to get there) I just assumed they must have a packed reservation book for the night. But when we left, the empty tables on the main floor were still empty. We missed out on the ambiance of the restaurant and left feeling like the ugly stepchildren. We spent $100 for a blah experience. I won't do that again.

I tried to order the pulled pork sandwich and I was informed they don't make it any more and they were in the process of taking it off the menu. The smash burger I got was a joke (see my pictures). My waitress was nice just not very fast. If you are looking for a cool spot for a drink, this works. If you are looking for more of a culinary experience, go some place on the Square.
