Tapas Restaurants in Aiken, SC

“Went here for the first time recently for lunch. Was met by a hostess lady that looked at me with distain and asked if I had a reservation. Reservation, on a Sunday at 1:30? Lol, Um, No. the place looked 70% empty. I did not really understand the menu until I started looking around & noticed how small it was. I’m guessing the kitchen, which appears to be upstairs must be the size of a 1975 Fiat. My French toast was good, very small portion for the price I thought. Overall I think it was ok. I don’t see the hype personally. Why just ok? 2 lunch entries & a coffee was $50+. Which in Charleston makes sense, but this place, No. If I were a drinker it probably would have made more sense. I did enjoy reading what felt to be a 65 page autobiography on drinks, which was cool sine it has Whiskey in the name. I would expect that. I simply must comment on the Eclectic inside that would make Dr. Frasier Crane go, “what in God’s name is going on in here.” The decor, I did not get at all. The bar was beautiful. However, the Stained glass with some mismatched lights, 4 in line photos of food & drinks that looked very out of place does not bode well. Do yourself a favor & walk over to the antique shop around the corner & drop $300 on some amazing art to replace those 4 Getty image wanna be images you have up. Embrace some horse photos or something. Anything. Take those things down immediately.Would go back if someone else was buying.“

“I have been to a lot of “foodie” places from Austin to Atlanta to LA to Vancouver and this is literally the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Every dish is so flavorful and fresh. This is the best dive in Aiken. I love that I can go eat in or pick up no matter what I’ve been up to that day. The folks that run this place are so nice, hard working and dedicated to making you the best meal ever!! Every single thing I’ve tried has been delicious. I go weekly at this point for probably 6+ months and they’ve never gotten my order wrong (and I don’t always order the same thing) or disappointed in any way shape or form. The portions are awesome, you will definitely leave with leftovers. I’ve introduced several people who also agree this is the best gem in Aiken. I love every dish I’ve had here. Gonna go place another order right now.“
