We brought our friend for her 86th birthday and the whole experience was excellent. Amanda was our server and she knew our friend from having worked at another restaurant years ago and where our friend and her husband went almost daily for breakfast. It was a sweet reunion. The food was delicious with only one steak overcooked. And the special complimentary birthday dessert just right! We were so pleased to have your staff take our photo and then print a copy for our friend, but I would have liked to have had a digital copy to send to her son in New York and to other friends, but was told no by your staff. What a missed opportunity to promote Southern Prime! All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we will be coming back again. Thank you!

The salmon salad and heirloom tomatoes with arugula and goat cheese was divine. I just loved the combination! It was totally compliant with my diet of eating fresh veggies and lean fish with no sauces or flour and sugar! Thank you for being a standout in that quest for REAL and NON-PROCESSED food!
