This is a wonderful place to eat. The atmosphere was great, the food was phenomenal... I highly recommend the calamari. Two thumbs waaay up on that. The main course was great and we went all out and got dessert as well. The cheesecake and the coconut cake were just as good as anything else we had. Zero complaints.
But the absolute best part of our dining experience was our waitress. Huge shout out to Christina for being a true professional. She was probably the best waitress I've ever had. She was always on point with any and everything we asked her for. Even down to which beers to get and how each one would pair with our dinner. Absolutely one of the best in her profession! So if you have read this and you want the absolute best experience there... just ask for Christina and I promise you, she will not let you down!

My family and I went here last night for a birthday dinner. The food was amazing, the calamari was the best I have ever had. Its worth going back just for that. Everything from the salmon to the ribeye, and the linguine was superb. The desserts are also top tier. Sabrina our waitress was so sweet an attentive. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The place itself is beautiful. I recommend calling ahead for reservations. My family and I will definitely be returning guest.

The food was extraordinary and service superb. Full house tonight, so a bit on the noisy side, but had a delightful experience overall. The calamari appetizer was the best I have ever had, and I have tried a lot! Highly recommend the sweet potato crusted salmon. Unusual and great.
Molasses Grill is to die for y'all. Everything from the service to atmosphere to food was beyond top notch. We went on a Thursday and thankfully they were not insanely busy and had a table. Reservations are recommend.
As soon as we were seated we had a server that took the best care of us. We placed our drink orders, I had the Persephone(think spicy Pomegranate) and he had a pilsner out of Danville. We almost never get an appetizer but got the Hickory Oysters which were absolutely amazing with Tabasco and Shallot butter. The lemon sprinkled on top added to the best flavor. I am not an oyster person but these were so good.
For our entrees I had the sweet potato gnocchi. All of the ingredients made a perfect pairing. The gnocchi was pillowy soft and the pearl onions, collard greens, butternut squash, toasted pecans, and goat cheese just added to the wonderful flavor.
He had the ribeye(medium) with green beans and the scalloped potatoes. The steak was like butter melting in your mouth. The potatoes were sliced thin and stacked with the perfect amount of cheese and butter and the green beans were perfectly cooked, crisp and flavorful. I have to say I have not had a meal that was this good in such a long time. We will definitely be recommending Molasses Grill to our friends and family and returning for another visit.

The food was amazing. The service was outstanding! It's definitely a good place to take a loved one or family out.
Fantastic dinner, second visit after two year absence! Great service provided by Myles. Tried the specials onion soup and fried flounder. Also tried grilled oysters and pork chop from menu. All very good. Chef Steve stopped by to check on us. Generous portions so took coconut cake togo. Highly recommended!

Molasses Grill is a restaurant that absolutely exceeded our expectations during our South Boston weekend. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfectly balanced between fine dining and relaxed Southern hospitality. The food was exceptional. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offered a creative mix of modern cuisine with a Southern influence. The highlight for us was how each course felt like it could stand on its own as a signature dish. Service was impeccable. Our server Miles was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list, making excellent recommendations that elevated the whole experience. It’s clear that the staff take pride in making every guest feel welcome and well cared for. This is not just a “good meal” — Molasses Grill is a dining experience worth traveling for. It’s easy to see why it has such a strong reputation locally and with visitors. If you’re anywhere near Halifax or South Boston, do yourself a favor and plan a night here. It’s absolutely worth it. We left talking about when we could come back. Highly recommended.

My husband and I have been here a few times now and everything is always amazing. It’s definitely one of our favorite restaurants. We had dinner here again tonight and as always, it was perfect. Unfortunately though, my clumsy self spilt my mocktail everywhere, but our waiter and another staff member were super nice about everything and got it cleaned up immediately. They were so quick that I ended up not even having any stains on my outfit from the incident. Anyway, if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere, definitely try out Molasses Grill!
