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!

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.

                                                                            Our server was awesome, continually making sure everything was ok and checking to see if we needed anything. As usual, the food was amazing. We enjoy the chicken liver appetizer and you can’t go wrong with the strawberry basil lemonade from the bar. My favorite entree is the fried chicken. Would definitely recommend South City Kitchen
