Restaurants near Johnson Park

Excellent food, ambience and service. My first visit and it was very nice.

Bones was my wife and my first “fancy” date in 1983. We’ve been back many times including this time, our 41st wedding anniversary! We were greeted by their always friendly and professional staff and seated instantly. The table was prepared and waiting for us tastefully decorated with anniversary glitter. The steady stream of attentive staff were always focused on our comfort and experience. After a glass of champagne, our bottle of Bordeaux arrived, perfectly timed and chilled. Fresh bread, sweet butter, lobster bisque, wedge salad, filet mignon and lobster tail…all impeccably prepared and delivered with attention and precision. I can’t say enough about how special each and every person made us feel. Many thanks to the owners and staff for continuing to deliver on your tradition of providing a fine dining experience.

We had an amazing evening at Rumi’s. We have frequented the other locations but this was our first experience at the Colony Square location. Our expectations were exceeded. Our server made excellent recommendations for drinks, appetizers and mains and we all knew what we wanted once we heard his pitch. We also celebrated a family member’s birthday and enjoyed the pistachio and honey ice cream dessert. Drinks, food and service were top notch. Altogether, it was a truly perfect evening and we will look forward to coming back to Rumi’s in the near future. Thank you to Rumi’s Kitchen and staff for making our night.

We decided to give our favorite breakfast/brunch spot a visit on a Saturday after thanksgiving which could have been a risk but to our luck it wasn’t busy at all. Our waitress was as very attentive and our food came out fresh. The starter biscuits and muffins were a hit per usual. The sweet tea needs some work because it tasted like water and let’s be honest we’re in the south we love our sweet tea. Also I want to shout out to Brian for checking in on us and making sure our food and service was going well.
