"We came in on Sunday night our appetizer was served after our meal and we were told that it was because our meal is easier to prep. ? We were hungry so we accepted. We shared the fish and grits which is our favorite at your restaurant. We ordered the mushroom appetizer which wasn’t that good unfortunately. Oddly the cheese that usually coats the tops of the mushrooms was baked on the bottom not as if some had melted off but that none was ever put there just put at the base of the skillet. The mushrooms were also incredibly small in size in comparison to times I’ve had at this restaurant before. Also, we ordered the salted caramel cheesecake which sounded good, but when we received it instead of having a caramel sauce or something that complimented it it had a strawberry sauce on it? We would have sent it back but it was getting late and we were ready to wrap up our night so we just scraped it off. We enjoyed the cheesecake itself but that sauce was a miss and if we went again I would have them hold that off or check to see if that was what should have been on there. Fruit and salted caramel to me don’t mesh well. The cocktails we had were good in flavor as always the cherry limeade is our go to and then I tried a new pepper lavender cocktail which I enjoyed. The color of it was a cloudy gray which didn’t seem appealing at first, but it tasted great. I recommend the bar using a prism powder (as sold at fancy sprinkles) to add appeal to it or a nicer garnish or a sugar rim. When people are paying $12 for a smaller sized craft cocktail it’s more expected. Lastly our server was very nice, he said he was new so he didn’t have a lot of recommendations and admitted he hadn’t tried much of the menu, but he was prompt and friendly. Overall, I’d like to end with that we enjoy South being in Nocatee and it’s great to have a restaurant of its quality and uniqueness here. We hope to come back again in the future and things improve hoping it was just an off night."
