The Tobacco Company Restaurant

I went for a client dinner and it was great. The service was great. The food was excellent overall. They were sensitive to dietary restrictions and celiac. The building itself was beautiful. I got burrata, fried green tomatoes, some bourbon drinks, and the prime rib. I did remove a star because my prime rib was cooked very medium when I requested med rare. I also removed a star on atmosphere because it was incredibly hot on the second floor. The whole party was sweating ... Faces GLISTENING sweating... And I feel that distracted from the ambiance and conversation. Mind you it was a 90 degree day.

It's been a very long time since I've even been here and I never had anything other than drinks. I was impressed with our server, Gregg. He was very nice and attentive. He talked about a few things on the menu, went over the specials and mentioned a few of his favorites. We had the fried green tomatoes as the appetizer. They were very good. I was surprised because I thought they were seasonal. The pimento cheese was great. We ordered the ribeye.....this was the best ribeye I have had in forever. It was tender, moist, cooked to perfection. Seasoned just right. The sides were good, fingerling potatoes and brussel sprouts. I wasn't too fond of the sprouts, tbh. It was my birthday and he said save room for dessert. I was worried it would be cheesecake, which I hate. It was a gluten free chocolate torte or something with a raspberry sauce. It was heavenly. We forgot our to go boxes and he brought them down to us. Great server, great food! We will be back! Added bonus...they usually have a band playing!
