    It was our first time at this amazing restaurant and we cannot wait to go back! Greg, our server was knowledgeable and attentive, and made the experience extra special! We were very fortunate to have his help! The vibe is amazing as was my salmon and her scallops! Don’t forget to try the pineapple upside down cake before you leave🤤 in addition to the pink Cosmo!

    The food was creative and excellent. Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with the pimento sauce. Atmosphere was fantastic, and the service was top-notch.

    There were three of us dining here for the first time. Our waiter was Sam and she was great. My wife and my son were impressed with their dinners (crab cakes and meatloaf respectively). I had the risotto and was slightly disappointed. Overall good experience and looking forward to bringing other family members here too in the future.

    Beautiful, unique decor with striking antiques and three levels overlooking a central space containing a stage, tables and a large bar. The walls are brick and there is lots of polished wood and warm lighting throughout. An antique brass elevator took us to our table on the second floor. Our entrees, though not unique, were delicious. The portions are generous and our waiter was very friendly and professional. The live band started at 9 pm so we had drinks downstairs after our dinner and even danced a little. Overall, The Tobacco Company provided a great Saturday night out for me and my husband.

    Ran out of the desserts we wanted by 830pm on a Saturday and the level of attention towards guests by the host that seated us was poor and rushed. Our server was pretty decent but had to be reminded about extra soup bowl and steak knife. Ambience was very good!

    We had a variety of dishes, including filet mignon that was delicious Seabass that was very good seafood pasta. That was very good salmon. That was very good and Caesar salad. We also enjoyed the bruschetta on appetizer and the shrimp cocktail. We like it spicy so we got extra horseradish for the cocktail sauce.
