My husband and I visited pimento tea room for their Sunday funday tea service and we will definitely be back! The food was perfectly seasoned and had complex flavors and textures. They had a delightful selection of teas, cocktails, mocktails, and seasonal offerings. Highlights were the sherried tomato soup, smoked salmon savory bite, rosemary cheddar scone, yuzu tartlette, and the candied apple slices. The decor is eclectic and super funky and it's great to see a southern restaurant with my brand of hospitality!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Cute little place. I live nearby and it was my first time there. Service was on point the whole way through--hostess to server. Menu was creative and the ambience was nice. I wanted to love the food but it was a little underwhelming IMO, although I'd certainly give it another try. The grits were cooked ok but didn't really have any flavor and weren't seasoned--just bland. Shrimp were just ok as well--overcooked and not seared hard to really highlight the blacken seasoning. It was kind of all just one (small) bowl of underwhelming flavors and similar textures. Oktoberfest was tasty. Pretzel biscuit was a unique addition. Confused by the menu's description of German potato salad using sweet potatoes. Sangria was not good at all and had no fruit and tasted really watered down.... Can't remember exact price was it was way overpriced as well. Tea set up was awesome though! Loved all the accoutrements and intentionality there. Please serve the food on regular sized plates. It's hard for some (mature) people to cut things without food flying everywhere.
