“ Great brunch and even better service! We had a party of 13 and they accommodated us flawlessly ”
“ We had a very nice lunch starting out with the creamy deviled eggs. I had the soup and salad combo with the mixed greens and chicken & wild rice soup. The salad was dressed perfectly with a nice crunch from the almonds, and the soup was warm and comforting on a dreary day. The rest of my party enjoyed their meals, and we would definitely return. ”
“ The food was perfect! I had the Brussels sprouts grilled cheese, which was just the right blend of cheesy and the Brussels, and so crispy. My companion had a burger that he described as excellent. The service was friendly, attentive, and fast. We had a great Saturday lunch in this cute downtown spot! ”
“ Food, service, ambiance. Nice variety of food and drinks. My favorite place in Florence. ”
“ Odette is one of our favorite restaurants in Florence. We often go to Odette's if we have something to celebrate or if we just want good service and good food. The menu changes regularly and the wine list is very comprehensive. We also love the atmosphere of Odette - it's stylish yet welcoming. ”
“ We had a huge lunch before coming, so weren't very hungry and only had appetizers/small plates here. When we sat down, we noticed the table had not been cleaned as there was a lipliner stick included in my place setting. Ordered the quail, gnocchi, sourdough toast, and eggplant dip- all were ok but tasted very similar, like liquid smoke. We ended up being glad we were full when we arrived. However, the service was excellent! Our waitress (Fiorella, I believe) was extremely patient and knowledgeable. My husbands grandmother was curious about the fried saltines, so the waitress just brought her a sample, with pimento cheese to try-- I have never had a waitress do that before and thought it was a very kind touch! We did not try any cocktails but I was very impressed with the selection. ”
“ Fabulous mains that were delicately crafted and seasoned. A joy to the palate ! Service was superb and atmosphere was upscale and casual.. we tried the grilled pork chop over pasta special which was tasty and the green curry gulf fish dish which was also delicious. Good date night place ! ”
“ The service was exceptional. I was greeted when I entered by multiple people. I made a reservation though it wasn't really needed. The ambiance is nice; I'm a huge fan of low-lit areas. There was a lot of light from the bar area. I asked my server, Mary, what she recommended for a sweet drink and duly went with the Swingin Sunset. It was fresh, sweet, and mixed well. There wasn't an incredible amount of ice, either. I was served a bread + (sea salt?) butter bowl, which was incredibly tasty. The muffins seemed like they were made with browned butter and a hint of caramelization. The saltiness of the butter complimented the sweetness of the bread. It makes me want to learn how to make it, haha. I asked for food recommendations; she recommended the cheeseburger + gulf fish piccata. I wanted something different from a fish and burger so she ended up recommending the Crispy Potato Gnocci, which was a great choice. It was incredibly filling. The pork belly was crispy and mixed well with the rest of the ingredients in the dish. There was a nice umami + peppery bite. The price of food + drink is a little high, but it goes with saying that the quality of the items made it worth it. I'm glad they have a seasonal menu to provide variety. If I'm ever in town, I would love to come here for brunch or lunch. ”
“ We had a reservation at 5:45 pm on a Tuesday night and we arrived right on time and were promptly seated in the dining room. Casey, our server, was amazing! We started with cocktails which were delicious. There were four of us in the party and we were all from various parts of Georgia. Casey brought us a bread basket featuring homemade rosemary bread and corn muffins with whipped butter...yummy! We split two salads: the mixed greens and the strawberry salad. Two of us had the cheese burger, excellent, we especially enjoyed the thyme infused ketchup with the fries. One had the mahi mahi fresh Gulf dinner with shrimp, roasted cauliflower in a fennel sauce. She said it was great. The fourth had the steak tartar and the grilled asparagus and said it hit all the marks. For dessert, we shared a crème brûlée topped with an Apple compote. So good! I highly recommend this local favorite. ”
