Poole's is a fun and upscale Southern restaurant known for its excellent cocktails and delicious dishes. The menu features favorites like the baguette, pate, Bibb Lettuce Parmesan Salad, vegetable dishes, trout, beef, and pork tornadoes brined in coffee, along with perfectly done baked chicken. The service is consistently fantastic, and the atmosphere is lively, especially around the horseshoe bar, which has reopened. The vibe is welcoming, making it a great place to take family or friends who enjoy familiar flavors, but it may not cater to those seeking extraordinary culinary experiences. Parking can be a little tricky, but being downtown allows guests to park and enjoy their meal. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone feels at home. Overall, Poole's offers a good meal with a vibrant atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and having fun, with a special emphasis on seasonal vegetable dishes and a variety of appetizers to share.
