Came here on 04/18/2025, but haven’t had a chance to review it until now.
Absolutely amazing dining experience—-from the food, to the service, to the atmosphere! Right off the bat, the host was very welcoming and friendly! Our wait staff was Megan J, and she too, was very friendly, with warm smile and was attentive.
To start, we had the Seared Ahi Tuna. Taste and presentation was spectacular! In fact, everything was! For drinks, my husband ordered the Smoked Pecan Old Fashioned, and mine was the Spanish Coffee. Both were awesome! In fact, my husband ordered another glass! My little girl got herself a pineapple juice.
For the entree, I had the One Lobster Dinner. Right away after tasting it, I wished I ordered 2 because it was perfection! It was perfectly cooked, where it was sweet, tender, bouncy, and juicy! The clarified butter came in its own stand with a tea light candle right below it to keep it nice and warm!
My husband ordered the Seafood Pasta and he, too, loved it! My daughter wanted the sirloin from the kid’s menu, so we ordered it medium. It indeed came out perfectly medium and ir was already sliced for her.
For dessert, I ordered the crème brûlée. It was a huge portion meant for sharing, except that my husband was too full to share. My daughter being too picky didn’t even touch it, so I couldn’t finish it myself. I wish the caramelized sugar was just a tad thicker because that’s my favorite part!
Overall, I can’t wait to be back again! Highly recommend!

Went here to celebrate my father’s retirement. The manager was fantastic to work with to make a large party reservation and try to make the night special for my father. The nightly special was prime rib. About half of our part ordered it and it was fabulous! The filet and shrimp was also yummy. Best part was ended the meal with the caramel White Russian. Thank you 221 Main!

My husband and I recently attended the ‘whiskey pairing’ dinner at 221 Main, and it was absolutely amazing! Each cocktail was crafted to perfection, and the whiskey selections paired beautifully with all five courses. The atmosphere was intimate and fun, making it a memorable experience. We had a great time with a wonderful group of people and can’t wait to return for more!
