Southern Prospect

Tried their 1st wine pairing dinner tonight and was pleasantly surprised. Great food. Great service. Great wine pairings. I recommend them for the encrusted salmon, deviled eggs with pimentos, sliced filet and bread pudding. Overall a great meal. 👍 👍

We had problems but it turned out great. My wife had searched for a new place for us to try and we were excited to go to Southern Prospects. The outdoor patio was just what we were looking for and the menu had several options for our dietary restrictions. We ordered, going over the detailed restrictions with our server. The food arrived and looked great at first glance. But as we looked deeper both plates were wrong. Each plate contained meat which we don’t eat. The staff including the manager quickly jumped in and took care of the problem and new plates arrived very shortly. The food was great, prices reasonable and staff very attentive. Because they owned the situation, apologized and took care of the issues we look forward to going back. Clearly they understand customer service and value their customers.

Meh,
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
1st time here but have been coming to Wire Park since the opening.
Awesome decor! Super cozy and cool vibe.
Service started out great.
Got an app and some cocktails.
OMG the tots with the pork belly was fire!!!!
The cocktails were expertly crafted, my marg was perfect!!!!
Dishes: I got the bulleit grilled chicken with bacon. Presentation was very basic.
She got the salmon, cooked well and very well presented with the asparagus.
Oh, my Gouda Mac? OMG awesome creamygoudaishiousness. Maybe a touch of salt, but I can live with it and would order it again.
Then things started to grind down. We ordered pecan pie with a scoop of ice cream, coulda gone out back to harvest them nuts. Why did it take soooo long?
Server could have got us rung up while the kitchen was on the pecan harvest.
Server was a little ghostly at the end.
We sat down at 5:30 and it was a Wednesday, I’d pray for the staff on a busy weekend night. Know what I’m sayin’?
Manager can out for his mandatory table check, he should be monitoring ticket times and using a slack weekday evening to tune the team up for prime time!

The ugly- No toilet paper in the ladies room!?!?!? Obvious management and staff’s lack of attention to detail. Inexcusable.

Glad we tried it. Overall the decor, food, and drinks were good. Definitely wouldn’t chance it on a busy night.
Hopefully they’re seeking continuous improvement and striving for greatness.

We sat outside on a perfect evening and enjoyed our dinner. The only negative thing was that there was a family friendly movie playing on the plaza right next to us. It wasn't too loud tho so we were able to talk and hear each other.
The food and cocktails were delicious and came out quickly.

On Tuesday (9/16) we had a 21st birthday dinner for our daughter. The staff made her feel special from our arrival to our departure. The food was great and we loved the unique apps: Sweet Pot-A-Tots and Crispy Deviled Eggs. The atmosphere was warm and inviting with indoor and patio seating. Highly recommend this sweet restaurant for lunch or dinner.

Just a quick drop in for lunch and we were blown away. Crab fritters, Smashburger, and the most amazing fish sandwich. We will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a bite after visiting the brewery across the way, food was on point, service was friendly and fast, Charles was amazing! I had the smash burger with fries and my wife had the chicken salad sandwich with asparagus and we both cleaned our plates! Would highly recommend!

Everytime I eat here, the service is exceptional. Helena was the BEST YET! She gave us the perfect amount of attention and made my friend's birthday extra special. Wish they would offer nightly specials on entrees or change up the menu several times a year. Still love eating here often.

I had an excellent time during my first visit to Southern Prospect. Charles and William made me feel right at home, the food was perfect, and I think this is close to my favorite place in the Athens area now. Especially if I need to have a business lunch, this will definitely be the place I choose.
