    The family celebrated a milestone birthday for my husband who loves southern cuisine. House 157 did not disappoint. The food was excellent and ample and the vibe wonderful. We sat on the 2nd floor which had benefits and drawbacks. It was nice to be in the penthouse but too warm at times.

    First time dining at Sweet Waters and the all the good reviews are spot on. Definitely did not disappoint! A bit pricey so I’d save this place for a special occasion minus the kiddos. Drink menu was impressive and the martinis did not disappoint! Had the shrimp, bacon & mushroom apps, all amazing! Wife and I split a strip steak and the twin lobster tail dishes and both were perfectly done. Finished it off with the delightful carrot cake and a solid cappuccino! $700+ (including 20% tip) for a table of 6. Great atmosphere and the service was top knotch! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to others!

    I had a delightful dinner with my sister at a new restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by how cozy and inviting the atmosphere was. The food was phenomenal, and the service was exceptionally attentive. I’m thrilled to have discovered that they offer brunch on Sundays, and I can’t wait to return with my sister after church to try it out!
