The music was at a moderate level so you could still enjoy conversation at the table. The food was served hot and delicious. Our server was very attentive as well as the hostess and other staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server was very friendly and had she great menu suggestions. The only negative was the open kitchen. You pass by it on the way to the restroom. The floor area needed to be cleaned and the kitchen looked messy. If you have an open kitchen area were guest can see it, cleaniness is a must!

As usual, we had a terrific experience at South City Vinings. Brittney was engaging and attentive as always, and recommended a new wine for us to try along with the fish special of the day. Both were great! We are always greeted by the manager and the hostess as if we are special guest.

The food was decent just not anything above normal for the price. Took forever to get drinks because the bar couldn’t keep up. Waitstaff was very friendly and on top of the situation.
