Heard great things so we wanted to have my daughters graduation dinner there. We had arrived a few minutes before our reservation and was seated promptly. We did bread service to start. Took forever to arrive. But was delicious. We ordered taste of the world, pasta, dry aged ribeye, and blt salad. Food was definitely worth it but the service lacked the polish you'd expect with that price point. Just felt like I was paying ruby prices for taco bell service.

Always have the best experience at Third and Main. Food is always good, bourbon selection is fantastic, and the service is always top notch. We prefer sitting in the bar area for a more entertaining evening. We have never had a bad meal or experience at Third and Main.

The food was good. The mussels were overcooked but everything else was on point. The server was inexperienced and didn't know anything about the pricing on seafood or about menu items. He could have told us the oysters were tiny for $24 half dozen. That was a bit of a disappointment. They did allow my girlfriend to elect a dessert from the regular menu on the house. That was a nice touch. For an hour drive and no view, we will stick closer to the city. The menu was overpriced but the chef knows his stuff.

First time visit and a great food experience, and this place’s service is amazing. We were seated very friendly by the hostess staff and were served by Wade. His suggestions were terrific with a nice home charm that is very cool. Not pushy and answered all our questions. I unfortunately was paged and had to take a call during his introduction, but Wade returned and very nicely explained all again to me, which I greatly appreciated. He suggested our drinks and got our first appetizer for us, the sea biscuit, honestly amazing depth of taste and very good visually too. Next, we had the tomatoes bisque soup and house salad. Both very good, but the carrot/ginger and homemade ranch dressings were delicious. Wade let us try both! Mains were the American Wagyu 6oz Filet that could be cut easily with a butter knife (perfectly cooked!) and I had the special that was a crab-topped grouper with a crazy good saffron-infused purée on sunchoke with Calabrian peppers. We also had shareable sides of orange/garlic asparagus and their yummy collard greens. Dessert was gifted to us for our anniversary, and we got the flaming apple crumble that is incredible! Cool presentation too. Service was the star, just slightly behind the great food. Everyone works as a team to make sure all your needs are met. From water, to clearing dishes, to running out your food, everything is everyone’s duty. Smiles abounded, and you can tell this place is definitely run with positive enthusiasm! Just a lovely experience. Of note, there was a problem dinner table next to us that the staff professional handled even though the patrons were the issue. Staff was way nicer to these rude people than they deserved, and this was impressive as I’m also in the service world. Kudos to Wade, Matthew, and Hailey as you three get the gold star for patience with this table tonight! In conclusion, thank you to Third and Main for making our anniversary dinner so special. Great to find a gem restaurant!
