| - The Dogwood is awesome!
Went with my girlfriend on a Friday night. Unknown to us, it was the start of Restaurant Week. I called ahead earlier and the host told us the seats available were at the Kitchen Bar, but assured us it's an experience. So we went for it, and he was right!
We pull up to the complimentary valet parking and they were very professional and friendly. Went inside and the place was electric. Packed with people, but in a good way. We were taken to our seats which were right by the appetizer prep station.
The Restaurant Week menu had 3 apps, 3 entrees, and 3 deserts to choose from for your meal for $40. We ordered the Roasted Muscles and Tomatoes & Goat Cheese to start. My first time trying muscles and they were amazing. The goat cheese was also incredible! The coolest thing was watching them be prepared right in front of us and talking with the chef.
For the entrees, I had the Pork Loin and my GF had the Grouper. Both were awesome. We finished up with a slice of the Toasted Pound Cake which was a perfect cap to the meal, or so we thought. Our server, who was stellar all night, hooked us up with a slice of cheesecake on the house! Fantastic!
Our server was super friendly and helpful throughout the night. I had to run out to make a phone call and he kept my gf company for a couple minutes. The guys behind the Kitchen Bar were great to talk to and would hand us samples of the different appetizers throughout the meal. We got to try the Succotash and the Pan Fried Sweet Potatoes, as well as some cured pork they had on display. Highly recommend the sweet potatoes!
Great meal, amazing service, can't wait to go back. Definitely top 5 meals of my life.
