Had the steak, potatoes with asparagus. Delicious! I really appreciate the hibiscus tea, naturally caffeine free and so refreshing.

We have eaten at Reid’s since they opened. The food is always good. The ambiance is great. However, the service has been good 50% of the time and ok 50% of the time until last night. Last night we had a server who was the absolute worst we have ever had anywhere. He was simply put, mean. He was beyond rude. My wife never complains about anything. She wanted to leave the second she asked if the wine could be cooler than it was. The male waiter said in a hostile tone, “It has been stored in the refrigerator and this is a cooler. Here feel it” as he shoved it in her face. I quickly tried to diffuse this by simply asking him to go ahead pour as it looked great. The tone was threatening and this lasted for the rest of the meal to the point my 87 mother was afraid to ask for anything. He said he has been at the restaurant for two years. However, none of us have seen him before and we have been there frequently, again since the restaurant opened. The situation was so bad the waitress working the floor came over and said how sorry she was and proceeded to remedy the situation as much as she could. The meal was $400.00++ with tip for three people, a bottle of $70.00 wine, and not much food. We are sad to report we will not be going back until we hear from our friends things have improved. We will be checking as we are hopeful the owners will remedy their issues.

Always, and I mean always, a pleasure to dine at Reid’s. Our food was delicious! Reid’s continues to delight and surprise us with creative, fresh, local menus. The presentation of the food, the service and the ambience at Reid’s alone is worth the trip to this gem. Some people may question the value of a meal at Reid’s. It can be an expensive place to dine. However, the value is there. Plus, I could make a meal out of one of the appetizers and desserts and be quite happy and full.

Very enjoyable evening in every way. Prices were off the chart high. 4 tiny and I mean tiny roasted oysters for $20. All 4 were maybe the size of a normal oyster. Mahi, the fish special for $42 was delicious but again a very very small portion. Maybe the size of a deck of cards. And that is being generous! My overall rating was a five meaning it was a perfect evening. Except the value.
