We recently dined at The Strand, and while it had many positives, there were some notable issues. The restaurant prides itself on quality ingredients and offers excellent customer service. The food we did get to enjoy was undeniably delicious. However, there were some drawbacks.
One significant downside was the limited beverage selection, as they only offered bottled drinks and no mixed drinks, which left a bit to be desired. The atmosphere was vibrant but excessively loud, making it challenging to hold conversations without shouting. The space was also quite cramped, which might not be suitable for those seeking a more relaxed dining experience. I know that diner-vibes are part of the charm but for our date night it was just a miss.
Unfortunately, to our disappointment, one of their best-known dishes (duck) was sold out before we arrived, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a mixed experience – exceptional ingredients and service, but the beverage options, noise level, and space issues may not be everyone's cup of tea.
I am glad we tried something new and wish them all the best, but it just wasn’t a fit for us.
Cute, intimate restaurant. Amazing service & wine! The majority of the food we ordered was very good (the pasta Nero and the shrimp appetizers were delicious!) we also liked the beef special and the warm pretzel was good. For entrees the Alabama chicken was actually probably the table favorite - great take on southern food. The coffee rub sirloin was probably my second favorite, the red snapper was okay, was expecting way more flavor. Both desserts were delicious!
Unassuming | Creative | Worth It 👌
Walking up we weren't sure what to expect... But we were pleasantly surprised 💯
The menu is very creative and refined - excellent specials all around and the service was top notch 🫡
No specialty cocktails available 😔 But their beer and wine list were stacked with excellent options 🍻
The atmosphere was upscale diner-esque - with a vintage feel. Makes you feel welcomed.
Worth the visit - 👍👍
