   We had a lovely time. The service was top notch as everyone was friendly and attentive. The local sea-bass was amazing! The drinks were creative and stiff! Would definitely go back again!

   I love this place! Service is always amazing. Went for brunch for the first time and will for sure be back. The Turkish eggs and short rib hash were awesome. A nice difference from the typical brunch items. Joey took great care of us! Was also here for dinner earlier in the week with friends and as always, it was amazing. I love sharing all of the different plates. Alex was as always the best!

   Nichole, Thanks for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! Joey and Alex are both incredible and key parts of our team so hearing this makes me so happy. I'm glad you were able to swing by for both our Brunch and Dinner offerings. You'll just have to try our Happy Hour and $9 after 9PM menu next. Please say hello when you're here again :)

   The Chef's Tasting Experience was one of the best dining experiences we've had. There was so much thought and creativity put into each dish, and the drink pairing was a solid 10/10. Our favorite was the Beef Carpaccio paired with a Davis Bynum wine, it was simply remarkable ! Food aside, the staff here are very personable and give a lot of attention to detail. Brooke was very welcoming at the front and set a tone of hospitality that would continue to grow throughout the night. Our server Dalton was friendly and passionate about the menu, even giving us a bit if background about our favorite drink, the Tea's Knees. Chef Ryan also came by to ask about our experience at the end, where we had nothing but compliments to give. And if you ever get the chance to talk with the owner, Anderson, you'll find he has a wealth of knowledge on anything you would want to know about your dish !

   My server was super friendly and totally in top of it! She let us talk when we were talking and offered amazing recommendations! I’ve been wanting to try Books and Records in a long time and had a lot of expectations built up! Guess what! Above and beyond! Loved my server, the food and ambiance! Last, but not the least, loved the playlist it was in tonight! Easy listening, 2000’s fun jams. I will definitely return for more ❤️
