The Salt Block - Marianna

It was a slow night for them in the middle of the week but I was not at all treated like it was a slow night. The chef was at his best and is top notch. The wait staff was attentive and helpful, especially with selecting the best meal according to my preferences. I’m a nutshell everything wax the best (and I’m seriously not exaggerating): the filet mignon wax the best I’ve ever had, the green beans and smashed potato sides were the best, and the hummus and pita chips were also the best I’ve ever had. And the wine selection was good. I ordered wine by the glass that tasted amazing and was perfect for my meal. I ordered dessert to go out of pure curiosity. They had me at mascarpone. And yes it. was amazing also. All in all they were all very nice and professional. They take a lot of pride in their art.Vegetarian options: The vegetables that I had with my mail were amazing, and I have already talked about the hummus platter. I believe they’re in the case of a vegetarian that there are lots of vegetarian options to satisfy those needs, but if there was something lacking, I believe the chef would make every effort to go above and beyond what is available on the menu.Kid-friendliness: I feel like there is something for everyone there no matter what age you are. And I also believe that the chef is talented and kind enough to want everyone to have the best experience regardless of age. If you did not find some thing that appeal to you on the menu, I would be willing to bet he would create some thing just for you.Parking: I parked very easily on the street within 50 feet of the front door.Wheelchair accessibility: I am an architect and understand wheelchair accessibility. It appears to me that anyone in a wheelchair would be able to navigate into and around the restaurant. Can youDietary restrictions: I don’t know a whole lot about dietary restrictions, but it appears to me that there’s something for everyone on that menu.

If you’re looking for a fine dining experience, keep looking. They charge prices like they are in there with the real fine dining establishments, but they are far from it. The food- way overpriced! $300 for two people with only two drinks each. $12 a scallop for an add on, and they were raw. The steaks were good, I’ll give them that, but that’s about it. The desert cobbler was cheap ice cream, and canned peaches. I’m not just disappointed, I’m pissed. They promote themselves and charge you like they have the whole experience. They do not. The service- was fine. For beef o Brady’s. This is supposed to be fine dining. A server explains the menu, opens the wine in front of you, and boxes your leftovers for you, among other things. It’s what you pay for in this type of experience. They don’t come over and say ,” what do y’all want to eat?” And then leave in mid service. The atmosphere- the place looked like a badly painted former Mexican cantina. Fix the walks, add some tasteful decor , and maybe a piano player. Something to give the people what they are being charged for. Fail! Get it together, or Marianna won’t even have you.

This has to be by far the best food I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant.My husband and I decided to treat ourselves and I’m so glad we did.We started the meal with an appetizer, Chef’s choice egg rolls which were Buffalo chicken and they were out of this world delicious!!I tried making them myself the following day and let me tell you, they weren’t even close to the same.I ordered Jorge’s Chicken Garcia for my entree, which is the best fried chicken, seriously amazing!My husband ordered the 16 oz ribeye and he said it was the best steak he had ever eaten.The sides were delicious as well to say the least.The service was exceptional and we both loved the simple but elegant ambiance of the restaurant.We CANNOT wait to go back. It was worth every dime!!Do yourself a favor and check it out!

First time trying Japanese Wagyu steak. It wasn't what I expected. There is a lot of fat in it and the texture felt like I was eating fat. Wagyu isn't for me. The seasoning of the food was absolutely delicious. The best part of dinner was the slice of cake we had. One of the best slices I had ever had. The food took a long time to get out, but everyone was very nice, and the ambiance of the place felt intimate. I will definitely return and I do recommend. Lovely place to go for a date.

Excellent food and customer service! I ordered the hummus and Jorge's Chicken Garcia which was delicious! My husband tried the special, Chicken Grits which was amazing! Our waiter Michael was the best. The service he provided was above anything we expected. We can't wait to come again.
