Absolutely phenomenal! We've been looking for a brunch place for the past few years & we've finally found it. This place is fantastic. We had the lobster omelette & biscuits and gravy. Perfect flavors and portions. Can't wait to go back! Soon!!

Had the best night at The Viridian Room. I started with the chicken Caesar and rosemary fries (elite combo), and tried calamari steaks for the first time—so good and totally not what I expected in the best way. For drinks, I had the Sting Like a Bee (definitely lives up to the name) and a Filthy Martini, because why not? Finished the night with their bread pudding and I’m still thinking about it. Every single thing was good. Food, drinks, vibe—10/10.

Food was okay. Service was pleasant but slow and had to ask for everything (i.e. cream, butter, jelly, etc.). Surprisingly toast was one slice and served dry. Omelet was missing an item I had asked for. Peach French Toast was good. Cute place on the small side and high noise level. Parking was good when I arrived but filled up by my departure. Looked like there was additional street parking though.

Great breakfast/brunch place! The peaches and cream french toast was delicious and my raspberry mimosa was refreshing! A bit small inside, but the staff were friendly and attentive. Would recommend to others and will return.

I ordered the hash with two sunny side eggs on top. The eggs should be almost entirely liquid on a sunny side egg. There was none. Not even close. I was very surprised. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits. We were excited because we have been experiencing very creamy rich grits in restaurants recently. These were very thin and had little flavor.
