    Service was fine. Food was not worth the money at all. Steak was overcooked. Food came out cold. Drinks were good. Would not return.

    The food was excellent, and the building was beautifully decorated for Christmas! I had the sweet tea chicken and my dinner companion had the pork chop, and the sides were well seasoned and prepared. We also had the cheesecake and chocolate tort for dessert, absolutely scrumptious!

    My wife and I and another couple had dinner the Friday night before the Auburn football game. We were seated promptly 10 minutes before our reservation time. Our food was delicious. Recommend Pork Chops or Shrimp & Grits. Both were very tasty.

    The food was excellent. However, the service was terrible and the ambience of the restaurant was extremely lacking. For the price you are paying, you would expect better atmosphere and service.

    Celebrated our anniversary night at the Marriott hotel, dined in at Southern Oak. The service was fantastic. The food was good. It was a quaint and sophisticated dining experience.

    Overall, was an average resort restaurant. The smoked meat appetizer was excellent, the steak was sub-prime and overpriced. The server was very nice and attentive.
