I spent an early evening walking the Downtown Mall trying different places for cocktails, wine and small bites and this particular joint was my preferred, even though others had a much better cocktail menu. Service here was probably the best out of what I experienced, even though it was far from great. Their menu is imaginative and offered a nice assortment too. I opted for their pickles plate, which had house-made pickled cucumbers, brussel sprouts and beets. I’m not a beet fan at all, but these were good and edible! The brussels were really tasty, as were the cucumber pickles. I liked that the had a “Spritz” section to their menu, always enjoy a nice spritz in the summertime and The Tillman was on-point… refreshing and delicious!! I’d return when back on the Downtown Mall again.

Quaint, Cozy, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Charcuterie board was appropriately priced, and wine was delectable. Good place for a quick date or to grab a quick bite on the evening stroll of downtown.

Pretty good, but would like to have seen some more menu choices!

I really wanted to give this place a better rating. Great looking good. Great selection of wine and cocktails.I ordered a $15 glass of Pinot noir and it was served to me in a plastic cup.

This place was fantastic. My husband and I stopped for lunch - he got the grilled cheese & tomato bisque and I had the caprese panini and carrot salad. Both were delicious and the wine selection was great. Great customer service, as well. They also have a nice little shop section of cheeses, meats, wines, and wares up front. Would definitely recommend.

Very happy with this sister restaurant to Tonic. This is the original, I am told, and you can see “creative” is a theme. I had pimento cheese and a simple salad. Also had a Montenegro Amaro…. Another key sign for me that a restaurant is MY kind.

Easy peasy for take out. Walk in, place your order, go check out another awesome store near by and 10 minutes later, pick up your delicious food. The staff is also friendly and attentive.

The cheese platter was fantastic although we ran out of bread before we finished the cheeses. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Lovely Grilled Cheese and tomato soup. Excellent Pinot Noir!

Good food and service, with an excellent selection of French style options, including cheeses, salads, etc.
