    Our waitress was delightful. Food was delicious. Drinks from the bar were a little slow but it was a Friday night. Would definitely recommend.

    One of out holiday traditions is to have drinks and dinner at the Tobacco Company. It is always so festive! The waitress that served our drinks in the bar area was very friendly and attentive. WE then proceeded upstairs for dinner. The food was exceptional and the service was excellent! We look forward to our next visit!!

    Thank you Tobacco Co for a great holiday gathering! A group of five of us were seated in an “office” which made it a cozy, unique experience! And we were actually able to hear one another! Our waitress was superb as was our entire dining experience. The drinks were festive, appetizers were so delicious we asked for more, the main meal was wonderful and the desert was to die for. Couldn’t have asked for a better time!

    Went out to celebrate my husband's birthday. Dinner included the coconut shrimp appetizer, a holiday cocktail, steaks, potatoes, vegetables. Followed by dessert to go, because we were so full. Brandon L was our server and he was very attentive and accommodating. My husband's steak was tough, we told Brandon and he took it away and replaced it with a fresh, more tender steak. When we ordered the dessert to go, I explained that it's my husband's birthday but we're too full, so we'll take it home. Not only did he get a complimentary slice of key lime pie, but they discounted his entree for the trouble. The ambiance is lovely, however it did start getting louder by the time we were leaving. We will definitely be back for another special occasion!

    The Tobacco Company is our "go to" dining experience. The food is delicious, our server was wonderful (she was able to get the music shut down in our "office area which was very loud), and the whole experience was enjoyable.

    We have been enjoying the Tobacco Company restaurant for over thirty years. It's always been one of our favorite places to have special dinners. We had guests in from out of town for an early Christmas visit and we treated them to The Tobacco Company. The food and service were excellent.
