Restaurants near Big Shanty Museum

We went to Henry's for Valentine's dinner with another couple. We got the boudin balls as an appetizer, I was pleasantly surprised! Very tasty, little spicy with sausage and kind of like a hush puppy outside batter. Really liked it dipped in the remoulade sauce. My husband had the Liam's chicken he said it was Fantastic! Really juicy and flavorful. I got the blackened catfish over spicy cheese grits and it's was so delicious! It was an enjoyable dining experience.

This is the best Valentines I ever had. The service was amazing. The food came out in a timely manner. All three courses were delicious! Abby, our server was amazing. We had a great glass of Moscato downstairs and they put glitter in it for us. Amazing amazing amazing will definitely be back.

Kyra refreshed our waters & was delightful. Tom (i believe) (middle aged, heavy set, salt & pepper short hair) was clearly ran thin. Tables seated after us were getting their orders taken, food & check. While our waiter was able to give a second of attention to us it was great. Overall i felt the experience could have been improved if we were not waiting 20 minutes on our check; 22 minutes on our food.

Capers on Main doesn’t look like much on the outside. To be honest, my wife and I were wondering if we had made a mistake as we pulled up but the parking lot was full and capers had come recommended. We got in and the dining room was about 80% full with a mix of couples and girl groups doing “gallentine”. Shortly after we were seated the piano man started playing in the lounge which is comfy with a nice fireplace. We got our drinks and here is where I knew we were in for a good experience. I ordered a martini with a twist. Most bartenders will be lazy and toss in a wedge, never mind that the wedge overpowers the martini and I drink too shelf but this bartender gave me to twist and even had a cool presentation for it skewered on a toothpick. My wife had a special martini from the house specialty menu. She ordered the blackened pasta and I had the crab cakes. Both were good, the crab cakes had a fruit sauce that was light and sweet, not overpowering and the crab cakes were mostly crab, almost no filler. The blackened pasta was decent. It’s a good choice if you don’t want to be overpowered with seasoning. For desert we had the crème brûlée. It was enough for 2 with a few bites left over. All in all we spent a hundred bucks plus tip and felt we got out money’s worth. Our waitress was very nice and had a great balance for not hovering but also not letting us linger with needs not fulfilled. Service very good.

Bravo to our server, Gabby, who’s professionalism excelled. We enjoyed partaking in the four course experience sharing all our options so we could experience more of the menu. A small hiccup with the time between courses from entree’s to dessert, but we were having wonderful conversation so it was not an issue for us.
