   Some of the best, most unique, southern food I have ever tasted. Food is exceptional, staff service excellent. You may even get lucky and meet the chef!

   The location on Gay Street creates the perfect atmosphere, the food and service were both exceptional, and the convenience afterward of a rooftop bar upstairs made this restaurant a wonderful experience! I was thinking about coming back before I even walked out the door.

   We enjoyed the setting and our server was very helpful and attentive. Three of us had the trout and one the spoon bread. The trout was nicely cooked with nice sides, but a little salty. The person who had em the spoon bread thought it might benefit from having some different protein.

   This was our first visit to Knox Mason. Our reservations were for 6:30 on a Sunday night, they were unnecessary as it was not busy. We arrived early as we wanted to sit at the bar and have a few drinks. The bar was very nice, the bartender was knowledgable and gave great service. The venue is lovely with a great atmosphere. We were seated at 6:35 after reminding the hostess that we were in the bar. We sat at our table for over 10 minutes before we flagged down a server and asked for our server. Our server came over, she was apologetic and very polite. We ordered our meals at that time the pork entree, the trout entree, shrimp the trout was dry and tasteless; the shrimp & grits were luke warm trending to cold and the smash burger consisted of two 1/3 lb patties, that had been grilled to a crisp and resembled shoe leather both in texture and taste however the french fries were delicious. The trout was sent back with no issues and replaced, in about 20 minutes, with shrimp & grits. My wife and I were starving and weren't willing to wait another 20-30 minutes so I ate my fries and a couple of bites of the burger. I would go back to drink at the bar and I will probably give them another chance as I have heard many good food reviews but our first visit was not good.

   While the service was amazing, our food and drinks were just ok. The bacon on the shrimp and grits was burned and the cheesesteak sandwich was bland. We ordered two cocktails and neither of them tasted like they had any booze in them. Overall a disappointing dinner experience but Precious our server was awesome!

   Fish was blah, pork chop mostly fat. Enjoyed salad and the cous cous was the best I have ever eaten. It's just not an up scale restaurant. We were looking for a place to eat before the symphony. Close by and $25.00 to park. Waiter was delightful.

    We had a great time! Food was delicious and our server was spot on! He recommended the pork blade steak and shrimp and grits - we got both and they were amazing! The chef came out to talk to us and had already noticed we had a couple of younger kiddos and said he’d already started making two complimentary grilled cheeses for them. He sent those out early and they were kiddo and adult approved! Above and beyond - we’ll definitely be back!

    The kitchen was very behind. So much so that we had to leave and find another restaurant. The staff however, was great and handled it very well. Just unfortunate on a date night out that all we got to have were the pork rinds, and they were a bit soggy.

    We had their NY strip special. Great flavor but very tough, so much so a steak knife had difficulty cutting through. I recommend they buy better quality meats. The sides were good.

    This was not my first visit to Knox Mason's new location so I knew what to expect, however I was disappointed in the quality of their food during this visit. The pork rinds were not crackling hot when they were served, the were also sans hot sauce; the chicken wings tasted like they had been waiting in a crock pot all evening to be served; the pork blade steak was overly salty. As usual the service was outstanding and the value of the experience is fairly priced. I hope this was just an off evening and will be returning, but will give them some time to hopefully figure out the kitchen.

    The food was really good and the service was as well. The only thing we didn’t like was the bread that came with the pimento cheese. It was very dense and basically just crumbled when we tried to put the pimento cheese on it. Everything else was fantastic. We had a perfect steak, the deviled eggs were delicious and our drinks were awesome. Will definitely go again.

    Located at Embassy Suites on busy Gay St, right around corner from Market Square. Fun area. Found meter parking which was unusual for some nights (meters charge until 10 p.m.). Service was very good. Food was moderately priced and also very good. Interesting takes on American staples; I had the Shrimp & Grits, my wife had the chicken (with sweet/sour collard greens). We both very much enjoyed our meals. Desserts were also American with some slight twists: banana pudding w/marshmallow, vanilla bean cheesecake for us. Coffee, as usual it seems, was mediocre. My wife enjoyed her margarita. We'll go back.

    Downtown restaurant located inside the embassy suites on the second floor. Reviews were good so we decided to give it a shot. Glad we did. This place has happy hour from 3-7 with $5 drinks and $10 sandwiches during this time. They have a fairly small menu but plenty of variety. My girlfriend and I both got the burger from the happy hour menu. It was very good and well worth $10. We had the pimento cheese appetizer which I didn’t really care for but she liked. It was served with a rye bread that didn’t really fit the pimento cheese. We will definitely be back to this restaurant the next time we are downtown. Dinner for two with drinks for $50 is hard to beat.
