We cleaned our plates! The new sorghum pepper fried chicken was great. Our old standard of the honey dusted fried dark meat chicken was, as always, fabulous. We alllll had the collard greens- yummy! I tried the chicken tortilla soup as a side & I can't wait to have it again. Your sweet tea is the best in this area. (Being from the South, we think we're experts!)

Our waiter Chris was amazing from start to finish and his assistant Brianna was on top of everything as well. I may have got names mixed up but we were celebrating my fiancés birthday and I’d recommend to anyone it was phenomenal. 10/10!

Seafood focused, with good wine and champagne selection. Only a couple of smaller steak options. Better service than the Chop House or Ruth Chris nearby.

Great experience! We went for our anniversary and they were amazing. Our table was right by the window, we had a great view of the river. I got the New York strip steak with potato purée and it was delicious, steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We also got the banana crème brûlée, it was very good. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall amazing, we will definitely be coming here more!

We were in from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Scholar. The ambiance, we sat in the lower level, was perfect. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our food was wonderful. We had the flatbread, crab cakes and ribeye with scallops and loved it all. Service was great!
