Odette 120 N Court St, Florence American • $$
120 N Court St, Florence

“The service was exceptional. I was greeted when I entered by multiple people. I made a reservation though it wasn’t really needed. The ambiance is nice; I’m a huge fan of low-lit areas. There was a lot of light from the bar area.I asked my server, Mary, what she recommended for a sweet drink and duly went with the Swingin Sunset. It was fresh, sweet, and mixed well. There wasn’t an incredible amount of ice, either. I was served a bread + (sea salt?) butter bowl, which was incredibly tasty. The muffins seemed like they were made with browned butter and a hint of caramelization. The saltiness of the butter complimented the sweetness of the bread. It makes me want to learn how to make it, haha.I asked for food recommendations; she recommended the cheeseburger + gulf fish piccata. I wanted something different from a fish and burger so she ended up recommending the Crispy Potato Gnocci, which was a great choice. It was incredibly filling. The pork belly was crispy and mixed well with the rest of the ingredients in the dish. There was a nice umami + peppery bite.The price of food + drink is a little high, but it goes with saying that the quality of the items made it worth it. I’m glad they have a seasonal menu to provide variety. If I’m ever in town, I would love to come here for brunch or lunch.”

“The magic of dinner in a revolving restaurant, so romantic! Our waiter, Daniel, was attentive and professional. The restaurant provided a little sample of their salmon for us to try shortly after arriving, and it was excellent. Our meal was delicious, creative and enjoyable. The wedge salad, and short ribs entree was abundant and allowed us to share. Overall, very nice experience that we will repeat again.”

Rosie's Mexican Cantina 302 N Court St, Florence Mexican • $$
302 N Court St, Florence

“Pretty great food and decent service.The queso is one of the best I've had, with a nice touch of spice and just the right consistency. The lunch special burrito with spicy chicken is very filling but perhaps a bit too cheesy. Very simple but yummy. The pork tamale was pretty good; the meat was very flavorful but the sauce didn't have much impact. Previously, I've also tried and loved their chicken taco salads. They're one of the few restaurants I've seen to put refried beans on it and the ingredients always taste fresh and delicious together!The only thing I haven't liked from here would be the veggie quesadilla. It was bland and more soggy than I'd like. As far as the atmosphere, it's not authentic Mexican (which is to be expected). There's hardly Mexican artists on the playlist and no mole on the menu. But overall, you'll find food you like, decent customer service, and a clean restaurant.”

“I had dinner with girlfriends last night and it was one of the best meals! Started with great service by Jennifer (I think was her name?!). Asked for our names then addresses us each by name all night. Nice touch for service :) She explained the menu and specials and we ordered the pierogi and burger of the month. Both delicious. Atmosphere is so cozy and cocktails, beer and wine were perfect too. They have Sunday brunch too with a Bloody Mary and mimosa bar! Highly recommend checking out this hidden gem in Florence!”

“Great spot for a quick work lunch. Attentive and friendly staff.Caesar salad was cold and creamy - absolutely perfect.Chicken strips were incredibly tender and moist. They were a bit under seasoned by themselves, but that turned out to be a good thing because you will want to drench them in their buffalo ranch and honey mustard. Fries were great and stayed crispy throughout the meal. Wish I got the platter (6 small tenders) vs the basket (4 tenders) because I loved them so much.”

“Very convenient quick and easy place to grab lunch and deserts in downtown Florence where everything is very reasonably priced! Cafe 222 is run by 2 of the most polite people I have ever met that make some of the best homemade entree's, sides, and especially desserts. Every time I go to lunch here, I sometimes can't help myself but to get a brownie as well because of how great they look and taste. It is defiantly a must to try the chicken, squash, and potato casseroles along with going back to try the meatloaf as well.”

“I got the grilled chicken salad with shrimp added and it was really good. The only thing is the meat both chicken and shrimp were slightly over cooked. But, it was still a good salad and I had a bite of meat in every bite of food. It would also help if they diced up everything in the salad. The lettuce was shredded and the rest was all the same size as if it were in a fajita, taco or burrito. Still all in all I can live with that and cut it up myself”

Taco Mama - Florence 121 S Cherry St, Florence Mexican • $$
121 S Cherry St, Florence

“I am in town visiting in Florence AL & I wanted a really good quesadilla. My co workers who live here said Taco Mama was a really great place to have some Mexican so I decided to stop by. I was impressed with the margarita flavors they offered and they also had a unique margarita called the Prosecco fizz that was really refreshing. I had a shrimp quesadillas & I also had a blood orange margarita. It was refreshing not too sweet or tart but just the right amount of flavor. The shrimp quesadillas was absolutely huge. It had the perfect amount of shrimp/cheese ratio. My friend had barbacoa tacos and she said the meat was tender and flavorful. I also loved the fact that they had different varieties of Hot sauces including my favorite Cholula. Definitely would go back and have a few margarita on my off day. 10/10”

My chicken was cooked but there wasn't much meat and lots of grisel. Rest of the salad was great and sides were good too. Although they didn't have any baked potatoes for lunch. Our server was great.
