Michelin Guide: "Located at the base of the handsome Park South hotel, Sweetbriar a buzzy spot, where well-dressed diners make for enjoyable people watching."
Sweetbriar restaurant delivers New American cooking kissed by the flames of a wood-fired grill and a seasonally directed menu that has something for everyone. Love mushrooms? This is the place to partake, since they're sourced from all over the world. Case in point? A Seared maitake mushroom, dressed in a warm parmesan cream sauce with ricotta gnudi and Guanciale chips. Or, start things off light with a crudité of seasonal vegetables with a sweet basil mascarpone before tucking into a heartier house favorite of wood fired spinach dip composed of French gruyere and charred spinach served with wood fire grilled bread .

I’ve been to this restaurant many times and u have never experienced the lack of service and attention that I experienced tonight. And when I went to talk with the manager, he couldn’t be bothered. I will not be going back and I will not recommend this place.

Overall experience was a 10/10 highly recommend. For appetizers we had the spinach dip and the oysters. For entrees we had the hanger steak with broccolini and a side of the cornbread that comes with honey butter. The drinks are phenomenal as well!

Noticed some significant changes in the food preparation and presentation at the restaurant. The shift from rustic Italian to Asian-influenced branzino, along with the adjustments to the cornbread and honey butter, suggests a major change in the kitchen's approach or menu concept. It’s understandable to be disappointed when a favorite spot alters its style, especially if you’ve enjoyed it in the past. Changes are impacting their loyal customers. I did not like the food at all, and it was not worth $148. The first cornbread was served cold, overcharred, tasted burnt, and we told the restaurant manager how it tasted. They made another one, which tasted better and it maintain a warmness for 15 minutes plus. The honey butter was just butter with honey added to the top, when you open the jar, the honey spills on your hand if you open it aggressively.
