    Know that it is tapas style. That came as a surprise. Overall, we had seven dishes for three people, which is one more than we wanted - the server misunderstood our discussion and brought the seventh. Six of the seven were very good. The “mistake”; not so good. Three small plates and three large are a good size and assortment for three people. The stuffed cabbage, beef and halibut were all spectacular. The cocktails were very good but bar service left a lot to be desired. The covered outdoor patio is lovely.

    Experienced Anson for first time, and I must say I could kick myself for not going before now. It was wonderful! Our waiter Paul was excellent with recommendations, and the GM checked with guests as well. Both were very attentive and made my husband and I feel welcomed AND the meal/cocktails were fabulous.

    Our server Chris was absolutely amazing. My girlfriend often request hot/warm water at restaurants. At restaurants that’s more catered towards westerner, they never refill unless asked for. Not Chris. Chris was attentive all evening even though he was busy with what seemed like every other table. Every time my girlfriend finished her cup of hot water, Chris immediately brought out another one. Never once at a “western restaurant” has this happened in my life. Chris made this experience unforgettable, and we’re truly thankful for the service.

    We had an amazing meal! I had the supper juicy and crispy fried chicken and collard greens that were absolutely scrumptious. I also had macaroni and cheese but while it was good it was also pretty typical standard macaroni and cheese. My husband had meatloaf and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and he said it was also delicious. He tried my fried chicken and greens and said he did prefer that meal over his. That just shows how absolutely amazing their fried chicken and collard greens are! Definitely cannot go wrong with that meal!!!
