    We ere enjoying family from out of town. My father in-law order a dish he did not like and not only did the restaurant replace it with a dish of another choice they did not charge him for his main dish. The food / service especially with the owner was outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants and will continue to go back again. Thank you

    Took my mom and daughter to the holiday tea. It was our first time. We had a lovely experience. Our server, Patty, was very welcoming and personable. She also made sure my daughter felt part of the experience even though she is only 3 years old. The food and tea were fantastic. My favorite was the salmon tea sandwich - it was so good. We plan to make this an annual tradition for the 3 of us.

    Region never disappoints. A restaurant’s vibe is the most important thing to me, then food and then service, but Region hits it home on all. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant and fun at the same time. Starting with cocktails, the martini and old fashioned were perfect. Soups (baked French onion and corn chowder) were delicious and the sea bass I had as my main was, honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Our server, Joanna or Johanna, was knowledgeable, helpful and delightful. These are the reasons Region is at the top of our list!
