I visited this place for a Claflin University alumni function. The atmosphere is very upscale. Very appropriate for the Uptown area. The alumni event was a mixer and Tanner's provided us with an open space downstairs fitted with comfortable seating. I was really impressed. We also had a very nice server. The food choices for the private event included wings and Crab Rangoons. Both awesome!
The food and service was great, so my friend and I visited again the same weekend. This time, we had Turkey Burger, Mac & Cheese, Garlic and Parmesan Shoestring Fries, Wings and Crab Rangoons. At the mixer, we had to share with others, but one-on-one these items never had a chance. The Turkey Burger was prepared just right and the Mac & Cheese was good too.
The restaurant is ideal for events. There was a bridal shower happening as we dined. My only complaint is parking. I get it, the restaurant is right next to the Time Warner Arena, but if I'm dining, can it at least be validated. Other than that it was a great place. I'd recommend it and likely return.
