| - I went there Friday night before heading off to Mad-Cap theatres to catch "Night of the Werewolf" in preparation for seeing the Anthony Hopkins werewolf movie opening the coming weekend. As others have noted, they do some things well and in other ways, fall short of the mark.
I ordered the mojito they had on the cocktail special list and I have to tell you, well made. Lots of muddled fresh mint and lime, not too much sugar syrup, and plenty of ice, it was really good! It was so good that when I had a mojito the next night at Cheavrant (I know I spelled that wrong), even though it was twice the size all I could think was...wow, wish it was as good as the one I had at Regions.
Service...a stunning female bartender (and when one is having a cocktail, it never hurts to have it made by a beautiful woman) who when I asked about the jerk chicken on the special menu admitted she had not tried it yet, and I ended up ordering the shrimp and grits which I have had before. Note to Regions staff, if he haven't tried let the customer know you will check with someone who has tried the dish, or say, I haven't tried it but everything is quite good and if you don't like it we'll get you something else. When I got my order she noted she had not tried that either. So Regions management, at least give your staff a tasting when the new dishes come out so they can have an honest chat about the items with the customers.
I did have a second cocktail, a gin and tonic with Henrick's gin. The gin was lovely though no limes were squeezed into the drink. Regions, consider muddling a lime piece or two as part of your G&T.
So......as others have mentioned, in a land of beer and wine it may be the best place for a cocktail on mill. As for the Shrimp and Grits, it came with a ton of grits this time and well.....more is not always better. The best places to eat in this area - Caffe Boa, House of Tricks, etc, generally serve a modest amount of really good food, I recommend you follow that practice.
Notice my rating has gone down a notch though they have added an e-mail list. I would like to see beers on draft. Consider linking up to Sleepy Dog Saloon, right down University, which brews its own beer, and it is way better than Gordan Biersch.
So, good to see you trying but...try harder and, read and respond to your Yelp comments since the people here care enough to give feedback, let them know you appreciate it, good or bad.
