Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Southport

Each year our son picks the restaurant for his birthday dinner and this year it was Commission Row. Typically, Tony’s is his favorite however Commission Row’s atmosphere, food and service exceeded expectations. Joachim, our server, started the night with impeccable service, personable, informative and attentive. With seven in our party, a majority of the menu items were selected and enjoyed. All the selections were plentiful and flavorful. Highlights included the wedge salad (one of the best we’ve eaten), filets cooked perfectly, crab cakes loaded with crab, creamy lobster bisque, tender scallops and crispy salmon with a tender inside. Side dishes were served family style with enough left to take home. Dessert highlights included 10-layer chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and gelato trio. We will definitely return and request Joachim for each of our visits. Thank you, Joachim for making our dining experience special.

The cocktails were all prepared really well, the relish tray was the perfect amount for the 5 of us, and our brunch dishes (3 Benedicts, a brisket hash, and the omlette) were all delicious. Catherine took care of us and shifted her position when she noticed that my dad couldn't hear her. That's a level of attention that many don't have (people, let alone busy servers)!

We were a party of 6 and ordered an array of items and all were delicious. The service was impeccable which made the experience even greater for my daughter that graduated from college. Amira was an excellent server. Very polite and made excellent recommendations. Will definitely return! Oh, the sidecar & spicy margaritas, Excellent!!

Fabulous downtown Christmas experience at Harry and Izzy’s! The French onion soup was out of this world. ( We brought our own scissors…) The prime rib sandwich was very tasty, but I could have done without the onions on the buns. Now. The service. H& I always has incredible service but on this evening, Sean (our server) went above and beyond!! Always attentive to our needs and my Coke glass was never allowed to be empty. Can’t wait to visit again in the near future.

Pizza was great & ambiance was better. Nice place for date night.
