“Definetly one of the more interesting places to go to on a date! We went there for a girls night out and ordered a bunch of things - every single one of them was great, but empanadas and paella were my favorite. Even if you are not hungry - still go for drinks and atmosphere ❤️“

“This was awesome place to go. It was my first time. We had a work event there. We were in a private room. The food and service were impeccable. I am a pescatarian, and had so many choices. Crab cakes, shrimp, gnocchi, salad. And those who ate the beef medallions said they were delicious. As was the alcohol beverages. I highlighted recommend. But you will have to climb many steps to the door and I don't know if there was another entrance. Plenty of parking when we went but you are sharing with golfers so I could see on a busier day it getting full fast.“

“We had 3 generations join us for dinner- age 6 to 74 to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. It was a lovely experience! Food was simply amazing. Drinks were great. Service was excellent and ambience was perfect! This is our new “Epic Chophouse.”“

“We went to there grand opening and the food was delicious and the clams on the half shell are my favorites I’m from New York and they are hard to find in the south but now I understand they do not serve them anymore that was a disappointment but I will return again soon.“

“This was great, service was lovely - super attentive and happy! We got a vegetarian corn dog, the corn dog was crispy and delicious! Also had something from the appetizer menu, a Pimp'n fries- this was their house made pimento cheese melted over top of waffle fries., and a side of hush puppies. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside and hot. I had their bbq sauce and tartar sauce, both were good! Apparently you can also do the pimento cheese vegan. There were a bunch of vegan choices and lots of vegetarian choices. They did warn me the fry oil was shared though (so keep that in mind), there are boiled veggie dog options too if you're more strict about fry oil than me. Cocktails looked good on the menu but I ended up just getting water, nice crunchy ice!“

There are no stairs, and they have a table sitting.“

“Coolest bar ever. Feels like a movie set. The vibe is mellow and the crowd is friendly and mature and the live music is really good and they make the best old-fashioneds and Moscow mules, plus some other fancy cocktails and a selection of wines.“

“So the cocktails are absolutely perfect, great bartenders. The atmosphere is like they bought a bunch of stuff on temu and it's all just the wrong size and the lights are just the wrong color temperature and to everyone claiming it's a great date spot, let's be real, no one is flattering in children sized chairs and spotlighted booths that are higher than the children size chairs.I'm embarrassed for them for these chairs. Please you could spend a few hundred and get chairs in that style that are actually for adults and please dim the lights or if you cannot please get some lower lumen output.It is a cocktail bar, doesn't need bright spotlights raking down the faces of people trying to cozy up on a date.We only stayed for one before heading out to a cozier spot. I hope they can find adult size chairs soon.“

“Great menu selection of fish from sushi to tacos, with good selection of heat as well. Korean, sushi, tacos and bowls - something for everyone. Fish very fresh and our meal was very tasty. Menu provides small plate shareable options that is great way to try different options and customize your meal“

“Service was amazing and staff was so welcoming and attentive! Called about the patio being pet friendly and hostess knew it was me when I came in the door. We were seated promptly and another staff members showed my partner and pups to the patio. The pups received the royal treatment! Food presentation was perfect and drinks came out swiftly and were very tasty. I got the eggs Benedict and espresso martini. My partner got the huevos rancheros and Negroni. Potato hash could’ve been a little warmer and seasoned a bit more but nothing some salt and pepper couldn’t fix. Can’t wait to come back and try more food!“

“I had an amazing time at Rio15! Our server, Antonio, was amazing! He was super attentive, helpful, quick, and always checked up on us. He updated us on our food, always made sure our drinks were filled, and made sure we were okay. When we come back, we’ll definitely ask for him. When you go to Rio15, ask for Antonio! The food was also very yummy.“

“we got here at 3:30 and so many empty tables. we were told to stand on #1 they were just waiting on tables to get cleaned. 20 minutes later we are still WAITING! the 2 girls and 1 guy at the hostess stand never stopped talking to each other, never looked at us, never looked to see if we could be seated. Everyone walked all around us and never acknowledged us. soooo many people left and never once did they look at us. with restaurants hurting for business, you would think they would do better. And when we left they never asked why or co mentee. I will NEVER come back here again. bad management!!“
