Absolutely loved it here for my wife and I, we spent our anniversary here and we'll definitely make it a tradition to spend our... anniversary here. Our food was delicious and our waiter was awesome. I had the shrimp and Grits, and my wife had the Mahi Tunasalad. You won't regret coming here, very romantic too. Read more
Ask for Will as your server! He was attentive, funny and tolerant of these two wanna-be food snobs from New Orleans. If you... are familiar with and enjoy the Houston's/Hillstone restaurants, you will enjoy 151 Main just as much. The vibe, atmosphere,style and presentation is almost exactly the same - and that's not a bad thing at all. The reviews we read said to get twothings: the cornbread and the strawberry shortcake, so we did. As appetizers, we ordered the smoked salmon (loved!) with thecornbread (a huge serving) and both were super good. For entrees, we ordered the crab cakes and the fish special which wasGolden Tilefish. The crab cakes were a nice size and served in a yummy whole grain mustard sauce. But let me tell you about thatTilefish... it is a light, flakey fish that has a slightly sweet taste very similar to crab or lobster. I absolutely enjoyed itwith the lemon butter crab sauce that was an option to get with the fish. Since it was our first time here (and because weentertained Will throughout the dinner), Will was kind enough to gift us with the last strawberry shortcake that they hadavailable for dessert. The shortcake is more biscuit-like than cake which I loved (my sis prefers the cakey cake LOL) but thatvanilla bean ice cream was to die for! Obviously, there was no way for us to eat all this food but we thoroughly enjoyed eatingwhat we could. Read more
Great dog-friendly patio with amazing service & yummy food! We picked this place based solely on it being within an area we felt... comfortable in as well as it being dog-friendly (we were visiting from Michigan). And it beat our expectations. Cute patio withheaters, fire pit & not annoyingly-loud live music. Decent wine list & food was delicious-have to get the cornbread. Our dogdid great on the patio. Really appreciated the hospitality, food & atmosphere. Read more

Wow! What an exquisite dining experience. Jason was our server and did an excellent job with waiting on us and explaining the... freshness of the items on the menu. We had the mahi mahi which is shipped fresh daily. Melted in our mouths, perfect amount ofseasoning and the perfect temperature. The mimosas we had were made from freshly squeezed oranges with just the right amount ofgrated rind to add flavoring. If you are looking for a fine dining experience this is the go to place! The prices are on thehigher end but you definitely get your money's worth. There is even an outdoor dining area complete with fire pits. Wonderful, romantic atmosphere. I will definitely be going back. Read more
I've been here twice in 2 weeks. The food is excellent, but pricey. The bar knows how to make great drinks, especially the Old... Fashioned. Highly recommend the pork chop, chicken pasta and the strawberry shortcake. Great atmosphere, love the outdoorseating near the fire pit. Read more
