Fantastic meal and experience. If you like classic southern dishes but also are wanting to step out to try something new, this is the spot. A little pricey but worth it. Great atmosphere, wait staff, and food.

Wonderful dinning with our life long friends. Ribeye was the best I have had in forever-toasty crusted black pepper! Perfect medium rare! With the amazing celery salad! What? Yes celery salad. Delicious I am searching for the recipe now. I had about the biscuits and they were fluffy as I had hoped. We return soon
The shrimp and grits were creamy and just spicy enough, really hit the spot after a long day. Atmosphere feels cozy but upscale, and our server explained the menu without rushing us. Sides are shareable size.

My family and I came here to eat. We tried three different entrées, the pork chop, the ribeye, and the grouper. All excellent! Plus the biscuit’s they were heavenly. The service was fantastic!

Pretty mid, oysters and bread were good, not hard to pull that off. Squash was hard and uncooked, potatoes were fine, adequate, but nothing special. Truffle steak had little to no flavor. Service was slow and pacing /gaps between courses was odd and uncoordinated. Not terrible, just wouldn’t consider it in the top quartile.

The short rib is show stopping, and our drinks were phenomenal. That peanut caramel tart was a treasure; and our server was well versed and didn’t take himself too seriously. Truly felt like I was home with my friends eating phenomenal food.

Our first time at Helen. The food was delicious. Forrest gave us truly outstanding service from menu suggestions to perfectly timing the arrival of the various dishes we ordered. Our group of 4 shared every dish. Wonderful experience!

Impeccable service and delicious food!
It is a pricier place for sure, but it's a no-frills, great food experience. You will not leave hungry- and even the drinks are well-crafted and priced. Reservation a must because it's not the biggest place. Parking easily done outside.
Food was amazing and so was the staff! Our reservation was later, so we literally closed the place down. But staff never made us feel rushed and was very patient with us. Food and drinks were wonderful!! Will be back.

Met my former boss there for lunch yesterday and everything was excellent! Great atmosphere, great staff and our server was just fantastic and I'm sorry I forgot his name My chicken salad and crispy brussel sprouts were the best I've ever had. I'll have to return soon for lunch.
Perfect date night with my husband.
