   We celebrated a friend’s birthday here. Food: our party was split down the middle when it came to what we ordered; Appetizers - crab cakes(actually you only get one), soup, charcuterie board, salads, and oysters. Generally low to minor complaints about the charcuterie board (meat was too cured for personal tastes).The salad was also brought to us with quite a few brown lettuce pieces which was….um. I’ll leave that there. Oysters got no complaints (Alabama River). Dinner - steaks, the chefs special (halibut and a shrimp with a corn spinach risotto), and lamb chops. Everyone said that the red meats lacked seasoning/flavor. The lamb chops were underwhelming for the birthday girl and other guests and that sucked. The chefs special tasted great. Overall, Mamit our server was great, the ambiance was cute, but the flavor was trailing. We were seated upstairs which was awesome to see and experience but given the decreased volume of people up there, it took way too long for service (bar and food wise). Overall, if you are in the square I would say stop by for sure for ambiance, but you could choose different establishment if your expectations are a little more refined.

   Very nice place. I’ve dined here a number of times. Excellent service & nice atmosphere. The food can sometimes be inconsistent, meaning over or under or not completely warmed as with lunch today the crab cake looked great, but cold on the inside. Soup can sometimes be below temperature. Lastly, it is very expensive for what is provided. Drinks are tightly poured…

   I made the reservation early. I was very pleased that our group of 6 was placed in the corner booth in the back. It made talking so much easier. Our Server was excellent

   I’d say management just doesn’t get it. Very glad Mac’s is thriving during the holidays, but STAFF FOR IT !!! the revenue from my table alone would have paid for an extra bar-tender. Hard to sell drinks when you can’t deliver in 30 minutes.

   This was our second time but with reservations. We were excited to go for our wedding anniversary and sit upstairs in the “reserved” area. I had put it was our anniversary in the open table reservation and asked for booth or a private table. The first time we went our server was fantastic, asked about allergies (I have gluten and egg), explained the menu in detail, answered questions, let us know about steak cuts, and drinks. 10/10. We were very excited to drive across town and even skipped our normal anniversary spot for this one. However, as soon as this server showed up the vibe was off. We didn’t get a happy anniversary card like everyone else that night. We were treated like we didn’t belong by our server. I am an observer, and the way other tables were treated around us by the same server was completely different. He was friendly, open, talkative, interactive with every other table. Again, with us it was like we were a problem and didn’t belong. It was extremely loud, we could barely hear each other. The tables were almost on top of each other. I would have rather been downstairs at a booth like I had requested. My husband’s drink was wrong, he wanted the regular old fashioned but he got the smoked one which he does not like. The server didn’t try to explain the drinks to us. We were brought a free dessert but unfortunately since no one asked about my allergies, I couldn’t eat it. My husband came specifically for the bread pudding, which he enjoyed. We will not be coming back. It was a miserable experience for a wedding anniversary dinner and if someone is looking for a romantic, swanky, classy, upscale ambiance this is not it. I wish we had our first server.

   We really enjoyed our dinner at Mac’s. The food was exceptional, except surprisingly, the dinner rolls were terrible. Hard to believe they would serve them with the best filet I’ve ever eaten. Think stale and dry and crumbly. Awful. Service was also exceptional until the restaurant got full. It’s noisy but worth it.
