| - Tonight was our 3rd experience here at 131 Main Blakeney and I must say that each experience gets better and better.
Upon arriving tonight the bartender, Andrea, remembered our drink order and promptly made it. Granted it's only been 2 days, but still remembering our drinks with the volume they do is pretty remarkable. So, as we enjoyed our cocktails, Andrea and Jordan scoped us out a seat at the bar so we could join them for dinner.
We returned tonight because of our amazing experience Wednesday evening. On that trip we sat in the main dining room after having drinks at the bar. In the dining room, Ben was our server. He was top notch. He had great recommendations and delivered the menu beautifully. I could see why he was training a young lady that evening. On that evening, we enjoyed a fresh fish feature in which Ben described phenomenally. The chef really outdid himself with this feature. It was very tasty.
Also throughout our experience Wednesday and this evening we witnessed "team service" at its best. Between the two of us we have close to 40 years of experience in the industry, so I believe we have the expertise to acknowledge when a place/staff is doing it right and when it's off... I do have to say that this place is spot on.
So, back to this evening. We decided to go into 131 Main because we were in the area running errands and wanted a drink/quick bite. We decided to eat at the bar because we felt a bit underdressed for their dining room on a Friday night. Upon walking in, again, we were instantly welcomed by Andrea, who also remembered our drinks. Upon sitting at the end of the bar, we had a wonderful seared artichoke app. I highly recommend. For entrees my wife had the smoke salmon app and I had a red snapper (blackened upon Andreas recommendation) and grits which was out of this world. This was another chef feature. (I recommend asking the features upon any visit.) After enjoying our dinners, we were interested in after dinner/dessert drinks. This is where Jordan came in and stole the show. Now we aren't too big on sweet/dessert drinks, but on an a rare occasion they can be nice. Tonight my wife wanted a dessert martini and man did Jordan deliver. He made a signature cookies and cream martini which blew her socks off. It was tasty. Hell she had 2. That's the biggest complement.
Again this evening we experienced the "team service" atmosphere. That makes any establishment run smoother and makes any guest have a better experience. This place does it well. The service manager, Nick, has this staff working well.
With a great front of the house staff paired with a well executed menu this place is the tops. They've got lifelong regulars with us now. We'll see you there...
