    My mom and I tried Nolia Kitchen for the first time and were very pleased with everything! Our server was amazing and the food was insanely delicious. Each item prepared with love. You can tell they are very prideful in what they offer and serve. Such a cute and quaint space. I loved the exposed kitchen as well. Highly recommend!

    We had a lovely evening at Five On Vine. Terrell M. was our server. He did an excellent job of explaining the menu, answering any questions, and making recommendations. We enjoyed our flavorful cocktails and the fried green tomatoes and OTR Wellington, ( pigs in blanket), as our apps. Everyone enjoyed their entrees: pork chop, lamb shank, Vodka rigatoni with Gracie’s meatballs and crab and shrimp scampi with a side of lobster mac n cheese. The clam chowder is prepared with fresh clams and very hearty. The accompanying focaccia bread was perfect for soaking up any sauces at the table. Everything was delicious and well prepared. Terrell did a great job of taking care of our table and making sure our needs were met. Great service, great food, and a great experience at Five on Vine.

    I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.

    Don’t sit in a booth. The springs were shot in the cushions. I’m 5 ft 6in and I felt like a child who needed a phone book to sit on. The seats were so low, it made eating uncomfortable. Time to redecorate. Everything else was great!
