5 star service from the the car to the table. Valet attendants were kind and helpful. They had a beautiful lobby with live piano accompaniment to set a beautiful atmosphere. We arrived early and were offered early seating or drinks at the bar. Our waiter, Tristan, was highly attentive and provided us with helpful recommendations for our meal choices. Everything we ate was delicious! We also appreciated the small touches of several staff commenting on our anniversary, a small note, and drinks from the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend and look forward to coming back in the future.

Our second visit and it was just as good as the first. Lollipop lamb chops were perfect. Chicken was excellent. Madison was a great server. Will definitely return.

This is a beautiful, tiny, dining room in a historic hotel in Aiken. Our friends rented a home in the area so we decided to give it a try. Wow, glad that we did. Brunch was all we could get a reservation for, service was wonderful and the food delicious.

I loved this place and will be going back! To die for Korean barbecue ribs and fabulous burger and truffle fries. Scrumptious Bouvet-Ladubay, Crémant de Loire by the glass! Didn’t have room for dessert so looking forward to trying that soon! Went on a Wednesday eve and it was very busy. I found street parking but valet is a nice option. Beautiful place. Reservations are a must.

Wonder, wonderful experience dining here. We will most definitely be back. We had a few appetizers for our brunch reservation. The bread and butter was really good as well! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for fancy dining and a nice indoor setting.

I wanted to separate my stay from my dining experience, but overall they both would receive a less than stellar rating. This is considered a fine dining experience, though it is nothing compared to a truly unique dining experience in any other city. The food was incredibly salty, in particular the scallops and the Joyce chicken was undercooked. Although, the food was a tragic representation of rich tradition and culture our waiter Winston was nothing short of AMAZING! A phenomenal waiter with an incredible personality. If it wasn’t for his service we would have left long before entrees and stopped at the the small bites. To be fair we also ate breakfast here, which was descent at best. It is pretty hard to mess up the basics, but there was not a seasoning in sight. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money. There’s so many “fine” dining experiences that is well worth your time.

DELICIOUS FOOD for each of us! Service was so friendly and many recommendations were made by our server. She answered all of our questions and was so enthusiastic throughout the meal. The hotel itself is simply lovely (beautiful wood throughout) and historic. Being in Aiken, South Carolina, the artwork(a lot of it for sale and by local artists) heavily favored an equine theme. Will definitely return and highly recommend or anyone in Aiken-Augusta metro area.
