Restaurants near Calhoun Thomas Memorial Gardens

Our server was excellent .& the food was very good

We were seated promptly at a very small table for two. I could not push back my chair because there was a partial wall behind me….it was too confining. The restaurant is quite dim and the music playing was not unpleasant but odd. Considering this is a somewhat upscale restaurant I wasn’t expecting to be listening to Rick James and other disco favorites at a considerable volume. Our server was very nice and took care of us very well during our visit. The food was quite good and presented well. I had the blackened dorado and my husband had the shrimp and grits. We really enjoyed the arancini appetizer but there was only 3 so I let the husband have seconds. For dessert I had the crème brûlée and it was tasty but no actual evidence of a vanilla bean could be found in it. The carmelized sugar on top was done to perfection. Husband had the chocolate mousse with shortbread cookies for dipping.We loved the mousse and the cookies were divine. This review would have been 5 stars except for the seating, the music and the lighting. I think some easy tweaks are in order!

The food, service and restaurant decor are outstanding. Make a reservation today!! You won’t be disappointed.

I go to Wren anytime I want a chicken salad sandwich!! It’s the best I’ve ever had!! That, along with their skinny fries and their in house made ranch dressing for dipping is my personal favorite!!! It’s always great and I love bringing friends who are visiting there!!

The restaurant is in a stunning setting of one of the very old buildings in the city and across from the water. The service and food were exceptional. We were a party of four and seated next to a front window. Most highly recommended establishment!
