My good friend and I were in town for a couple days for a concert. We happened upon Relish and decided to stop in just to try their famous fried black eyed peas (which were featured on Food Network's ""best thing I ever ate""). At most restaurants, if you sit at a bar and order a beer and a small appetizer, you're lucky if you get a minute of the server's attention because you're not fixin to run up a big bill. First of all, the black eyed peas were all they promised to be... then our Awesome server/bar tender, John, insisted that we try a dish that will be featured on tv (fried cheese in panko bread crumbs and pepper jelly) and brought us out some samples. oh. my. god. DELICIOUS. even the beer was delicious! and his cucumber Bourbon lemonade! yum! we were expecting to sit at the bar and be in and out. Instead, I felt like we were visiting old friends! A quick snack turned into an experience and a part of the trip I won't soon forget. Anyone who gave this place a bad review must have been at a different place, because this was the best restaurant experience I have ever had. Beautiful town, good food, some of the nicest people around..... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Pros: awesome food, awesome beer, and the best service I ever had
Cons: when I want to visit again, I gotta drive 10 hrs from Miami!
