Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Butchertown

We had a wonderful experience at Bourbon’s last night, one of our go to places for a great meal. Everything from the cocktails, to the apps, dinner and desert were all excellent! Our server was also fantastic, just wish I could remember her name! Highly recommend this gem of a place that I hope will be around for many years to come!

My wife and I enjoyed Valentine's Day dinner at The Village Anchor and were seated in the covered patio area below. The food was great but a little pricey. French Onion Soup could have been hotter and we found a lack of saltiness to everything but not terrible. The wine was reasonable and they didn't try to upsell. The dessert was huge - really enjoyed that. Friendly staff top to bottom. I had trouble finding reservations for V-Day and this place was busy but not packed at all. The lighting in the covered porch area did not at all reflect a fine dining experience, though - which killed a bit of the ambiance despite the cute Valentine's decor. Overall a good experience and we'll return if I have an extra $200 but for that kind of money I know we could do better. I look forward to brunch as their menu promises a variety of great looking option.

It was a pleasant experience. My Boo thang loved the step and repeat, as well as the food. Staff were genial in their interaction and service. The food was delicious with reasonable portion size. It’s a great place year round, but the fireplace provided wonderful ambiance.

Ross was our server and treated us like VIPs. There was a large convention in town and usually that causes individual attention to go out the window but not here. It was my 10 year old grandson’s birthday and they made him feel like a grown up. It was a magical experience worth every penny. I think this is the first time since COVID that I felt like we were actually having a fine dining experience. The food was fabulous we got the 3 tiered seafood tower - yes it is expensive but as far as a return on investment it was over the top. The presentation is impressive and each item was perfectly prepared. Ross and the rest of the staff went out of their way on a very busy night and I think we are going to make it an annual event. Thank you Brendon’s and thank you Ross.

Mesh is “the” regular lunch spot for a group of friends. Three of us tried the special - butternut squash risotto with blackened shrimp and scallops. Delicious - I would definitely order again - although three others had my favorite - the short rib grilled cheese, which should not be missed at lunch. Jacob was an outstanding server - Very personable, witty and attentive, not to mention patient with a large group of ladies. See you next month!
