Kimball House - Decatur

I mean, what can you say? Kimball House has been a long time favorite. Never, not once, have I had a bad experience here. The bartenders and waitstaff are giving cool, calm and laid back but they are low key experts at what they do. Will be back again this weekend.

I'm a frequent diner at Kimball House. On my most recent vist, I arrived and was told there was a 30 minute wait for party of 1 at the bar not a problem and it turned out to be only 15 min. When I asked if I could have a cocktail while I waited, the host suggested that I go across the street to the grocery for beer or wine. Really? I'm to traipse across the street and pick up a six pack and some solo cups? I think not. If I had had a guest with me I would have been mortified with embarrassment. When I arrive at my other usual spots, I'm greeted warmly and a drink is offered without me even asking. A great restaurant is more than just good food. It requires hospitality and a sense of community. Kimball House should work on those elements or settle for being just another Instagram opportunity for those who pass through with no regard for local regulars.

First time back in years. Just as special as I remembered! The food is wonderful. Oyster selection can't be beat. The service is excellent. Awesome drinks. And there's a bike rack right off The Path!

My favorite restaurant in Decatur and my go-to spot for my birthday. The filet mignon and non-alcoholic drinks are my favorite items on the menu.

It was one of the best meals I've had in a while, including my recent trips to Spain and France this year.
