Everything in the restaurant including paintings on the walls and the butterfly hallway set the mood for the evening. As we waited to be seated we were offered a starter of liquid bread & tomato sandwich and caviar in a chocolate cup - Yum! I wondered if the entire evening will be spent standing??? Fortunately we were escorted through the butterfly walkway where we waited for each party to be seated. There were many surprises throughout the night that I won't share since you will want to experience them yourself. Our dinner started with dessert and worked backwards to the Main Course and ended with a dish consisting of freeze dried celery and fresh scallops that melted in your mouth. The evening ended with each guest receiving a jar of homemade Peach jam to take home. The entire experience was magical and we were excited to see what the next dish would be as each one was prepared by one of the Chef's with extreme detail.

Some I loved more than others. The staff is truly incredible and you can tell that they love what they're doing here. I have never spent this much money on a meal and probably never will again. But it was our 10th anniversary so we went all out. I do wish the portion sizes were a tad larger. I felt like I should have been a little more full when we left since we literally dropped a mortgage payment. But for a once in a lifetime experience we throughly enjoyed ourselves. We did not get the wine pairing but I did enjoy listening to all the info they gave to the other couples who did.

Here's a more natural **Google review** version:…read more Service was the biggest issue here. One of the young ladies was very off-putting -- not rude, just not welcoming. The pancake tacos felt gimmicky and didn't hold together well, so I ended up cutting them up on my plate. They didn't taste bad, but the taco stands were silly. A 97 score isn't terrible, but it's not especially impressive either. Overall, the service killed the experience for me, and I won't be back.

This was my first visit to the Counter. We arrived in time for their lunch menu, and there was lots…read moreto choose from. This place has great black and white decor, with lots of plants. Makes it feel very welcoming. We tried two of the sandwiches, the Americano, which had house roasted roast beef, caramelized onions, mushrooms, aoli dressing. So delicious. The bread is really soft too. You get a choice of chips or potato salad, also house made. Potato salad is very good, not at all mayonnaise overpowering or gummy. The other sandwich was the South of Philly Cheesesteak. Shaved meat with cheddar cheese. Very, very good. The Counter has a small area of seats from front to back plus a little area outside to sit. They are located between stores in a strip mall, but easy to find. Next time, I'll have to try their breakfast menu, as I can tell from the other reviews that they are large and tasty.

They still care and it was a deal. Anytime we are near we will go out of our way yo stop back in. Want to go to dinner next time! Blaine

An amazingly creative menu at this small southern town eatery. Reason is that the…read moreowner/creator/chef come into town having been awarded a Michelin Star. That kind of chef and it shows in the food. Fried Ribs ($14) appetizer is a decent sized, four rib, main course plate. These ribs are fried and are delicious with a mild BBQ sauce on them. Totally yummy. For a side I had a substantial bowl of collard greens ($6), done perfectly. Wife had the meat loaf ($15) which was two large hamburger-sized pieces, wrapped in bacon and with a delicious sauce. She did not share them with me. One of those pieces came home with us. Continual iced tea was served for $2. A bit of history is in the hallway of the Kounter building. Nine Black college students served nearly 30 days detention on a prison farm after staging a sit-in at this South Carolina Whites-only restaurant in 1961. On a visit to Kounter in December, I was told by a waiter it's not uncommon to see some of the Friendship 9 eating at the restaurant. Drop by to ogle the menu and take in the historical display. Very interesting and a good insight as to where black people were back then.

We started with the Smoked Maple Old Fashioned and Pineapple Express--they have such a great cocktail menu! The Yogurt Parfait was the perfect bite with fresh berries, honey, Greek yogurt, and crispy granola. My husband ordered the Grit Bowl with creamy pimento cheese, pulled pork, an over-easy egg, and spicy mayo. Talk about comfort food done right! My girlfriend got the Burger, and it was amazing! The combination of pimento cheese and bacon jam was SO good. I went with the Biscuit Bake--creamy sausage gravy, aged cheddar, bacon, and an over-easy egg. Another totally drool-worthy bite! Everything was delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and the whole experience was a win. We will definitely be back!

This was not mentioned on the menu or anywhere else. Had I known, I would have requested them to come without it.

We were told two hour wait, but only ended up waiting about 45 min before we got the text. The experience was fun having to "sneak" through the fake door and into a fun, moody, and eclectic lounge room. The bartenders truly made the night - Harris is wonderful, fun, chatty, and made all our drinks on a whim with almost nothing straight from the menu. We would tell Harris the type of drink and strength, and he made the most incredible cocktails throughout our time there. Truly showed that he's a mixologist and not just a bartender. We so treated ourselves to the caviar and the dessert bites. Would only recommend that the chips be salt and vinegar as the dish was missing some flavor, but the dessert bites were incredible. Will absolutely return for another night soon!

Stopped in RoCo's on a Tuesday when Brody had soccer training at MM…read more My wife and daughter loved this place and suggested I give it a go. Great beer list and their specials sounded good. Service was on par at the bar. I ordered a Highland Gaelic Ale and I always figure any chicken place can perfect white meat, but the one that can make a plate of dark meat into an enjoyable meal and make me crave for more is a keeper. Well, the squash casserole that my wife recommended was the tasty part of the meal. The garlicky new potatoes tasted reheated and the chicken was under cooked. The price was great but regardless of price I expect a good meal. At a roasting place I expected the chicken to be falling off the bone or at least be cooked to a temperature to breakup the connective tissue and this was the opposite. I ate as much as I could stomach and then I focused on the reheated garlicky potatoes and squash casserole. The squash casserole did rock. Probably try their other location closer to home eventually, but this visit was less than satisfying.

Usually, you get these things and they're either stale or they feel like you're biting into a brick, but these were light. Airy. The seasoning is hitting every corner--it's like they actually care about your taste buds. No grease, just crunch. Then you hit it with the guacamole. It's fresh, I think, it's chunky, and it's got that lime kick that actually makes sense. It's not that neon green paste they try to slide you at the grocery store. When you combine the two, it's a beautiful thing. It's a peaceful transaction. No complaints. No notes. Just pure, unadulterated productivity. If you aren't ordering this, you're just making poor life choices. 10 out of 10.

That's where Longbottom Meats come in. I ordered a few weeks in advance so that I could mitigate any problems that could arise. I was not disappointed at all. The steaks were just as ordered and the staff were very friendly. Everyone at the Christmas gathering were very complimentary toward the tenderness of the filets. No steak knife needed here as they were so tender it could be sliced with a fork and just melted in your mouth. This just reminds me of the importance of quality in our lives. Quality friends , quality family and only the finest of drink and meats. Do yourself a favor and cook at home using only the best meats served by Longbottom Meat company.
