   Do NOT eat here! No one greeted us at the reception, we had to find someone to get us seated for our reservation. We waited 20 minutes for someone to ask for our drinks and appetizer. Everything we ordered they were out of. Finally settled on a beer and soda water. Beer served warm, appetizer seemed like it was microwaved definitely fresh, bread was stale. Horrible service and food. We will never eat here again. It’s unfortunate because it’s a beautiful setting and has so much potential, it felt like all care and motivation has been lost by the employees and possibly the owner.

   We came in to celebrate my son‘s 27th birthday. We had looked at their menu online and found exactly what wanted to eat so it would make it easier for us. There were eight of us there total. We had picked out some really cool cocktails that they had on their menu. And we got there they said they didn’t have their liquor license until April 1 because they forgot to pay some fees? That was a bummer. No liquor, beer or wine. Over 4%. They were also out of a lot of food items. My husband was excited to try their lamb and they were out of that. They are also out of another dish that my son was going to get and they were also out of rice. The food was pretty good. The shrimp and grits was definitely not some thing I wouldn’t get again. It was dry and had no sort of sauce on it. Our waiter was friendly. The place ambience is fantastic. I feel like there’s some management issues there? I had heard it was under new management so I was dying to try it again but it’s still not a place I would go back to anytime soon anyway. It’s a shame because the place is really cool and they have an amazing menu. They just need to make sure they actually have the ingredients for the food on their menu.

   We were disappointed . The house is interesting but was not well heated and it was a chilly evening. The food, while very tasty, was served lukewarm. They were out of rice, lobster and lamb and this was on a Wednesday night.

   My son and I made reservations early on the day we dined at the Mockingbird. When we arrived we were seated right away, and our server was quick to provide menus and get our drinks. I ordered the beef medallion and the meat was tender enough to cut with my fork. It was my first visit, but will not be the last.

   Our party of 8 (four adults and four children) was quickly seated in the very lovely restored farmhouse. We were waited upon by Ashli who was very attentive. The dinner menu had a nice range of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and seafood choices. We shared a variety of appetizers that were excellent. The St. Patrick's day special of Corned Beef, Potatoes and Cabbage was excellent. The Beef Medallions were outstanding. The children's menu offered a very nice variety of dishes that were perfect for the children. The desserts were wonderful. Highly recommend the chocolate torte, the fig & carrot spiced cake and the milkbread donuts with ice cream. My only gentle suggested area to improve upon is for each of the courses to come out together. There were delays in receiving all of the appetizers and all of the main course entrees. Highly recommend and would dine here again.

   No wine, $50 steak was tough and bland, and the pecan chicken was more like cafeteria chicken fried steak. It’s a cute place and had a nice vibe. Everything was very slow and they seem to need new management.

    My wife had a ribeye that was on special for $50 and it was totally unimpressive. I had salmon and green beans. The green beans were cold, not warm, cold. The salmon was warm and unimpressive also. The service was okay. The atmosphere, nothing special. Bottom line, we both had water, no appetizers and spent $100 on a completely unimpressive meal. I don’t mind paying for a good meal but this definitely wasn’t it. At the restaurant, I don’t complain, I just don’t return. I also don’t usually do reviews but felt compelled to save others from this experience.

    I’m sorry you had a poor experience- it’s always best in those situations to ask for a manager to address these issues immediately. As the owner, I would have welcomed the opportunity to address this with my kitchen staff. None of those issues are acceptable. We are going through some staff transitions in the kitchen so training and teaching is key here. I also would have discounted your meal heavily had I been aware. I hope you give us a try another time!
