"Aiken's living room." Happened upon this amazing place during a business trip with a colleague and could not have had a more enjoyable experience. Outstanding service (Britney), incredible food quality, in a one of a kind setting. I will not come back to Aiken without having a meal here. Awesome experience!

The food, service and atmosphere where good although when we got there we weren't greeted and didn't really know if we could seat ourselves or wait.

A friend and I drove from Columbia to celebrate our birthdays. We were treated royally! The service was impeccable and the food and drinks were amazing. The BLT was probably the best I’ve ever had. The Calamari was the most tender and delicious. Everything was delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Fancy smancy with white table clothes and a cozy dining experience. Our waitress was superb and friendly. We ordered the calamari, 2 drinks, wedge salad and the salmon bowl.

We celebrated our birthdays together and got royal treatment here on our special day. The food and cocktails were amazing. The staff were all attentive and pleasant. We will be back!

I've been to Wilcox many times lately and was due a disappointment. . The lunch was not up to the normal standards and our server was just ok. I've been spoiled in past visits to expect the best of everything. I love the vibe there and have enjoyed so many of the entrees.. The fries have been plentiful and delish but this visit they were held back.
We had lunch for the first time at the Willcox today. Despite the more than hour drive from our home, we will be coming back again. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

Lovely venue, dinner was very good. The gulf shrimp were perfectly cooked. My husband had the chicken for t was good but felt it was a bit over cooked. The service was wonderful as well as the wine.

The food was incredible and our server, Bruce, made sure everything was perfect. He went out of the way to take care of my food allergies and the kitchen made a custom dish to accommodate my needs. It was a wonderful experience!
Our table was ready for our reservation time which is always appreciated. The server was prompt and courteous. The food was delicious . I did send my asparagus back since it was barely warm but it was returned at a much better temperature. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

We'd received a Willcox gift card (long story) and were anxious to have brunch with some dear friends. Matt was extremely helpful...Tristin was too...and Lydia, our server couldn't have been sweeter. Everyone enjoyed their selections and the Bloody Mary and Mimosa hit the spot!!! Always enjoy the unique and classic dining experience at The Willcox !

Service was very poor, we waited 20 minutes to even be approached by our Server. He was new and we really didn't need to know that, we figured it out rather quickly. One of the people at the table ordered the Tacos, would have been better if they doubled up on the soft Taco Shells. They completely broke apart upon lifting them up to eat. They ended up eating the Tacos with a fork and knife. A couple of other people ordered the Salmon Salad. Salmon was a nice size, but the Salad was very miniscual, not appropriate for the $22.00 price. I would have thought that with The Willcox Inn being one of the best hotels in the world, the Restaurant certainly doesn't match up.

We had a wonderful lunch. The fish and chips had great flavor. The burger was ok the bun to hamburger ratio was light. The Moscow mule was perfect. However the bartender could use a lesson on whiskey sours.

The Willcox has wonderful ambiance - if you've never been, you should go. On this night the service wasn't as present as I've seen in the past. I got a cocktail that wasn't up to par and after waiting a while for my server to see me, took it back to the bartender myself for a do-over, which he did with no problem. On the other hand, our tasty food came promptly and the portions were ample.
