Bowleys Quarters​のウォーターフロントにあるレストラン

We hadn’t visited the Black Olive in several years, mostly because we were avoiding downtown Bmore because of the squeegee issues around the city. We’re happy that this appears to be a thing of the past. We enjoyed a wonderful meal last night. We arrived and were seated in the back room. There are 4 or 5 tables in this room. We ordered raw oysters, stuffed calamari, and octopus salad for appetizers. We had a grilled whole snapper and while black sea bass for entrees. We had a bottle of Assyrtiko wine from Santorini. For dessert, we shared baklava ice cream. Everything was well prepared and delicious. The stuffed calamari was a standout. We look forward to returning again soon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ampersea, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, Joey, the manager/greeter, greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm that we felt right at home. His kindness set the tone for the entire evening. The service throughout the meal was impeccable—our waiters were attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always topped off and checking in just the right amount. A special shout-out goes to Oscar, the bartender, who was absolutely phenomenal. He crafted some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while, with perfect balance and creativity. Overall, Ampersea delivered on both food and service, and the personal touches from Joey and the rest of the team made it a memorable night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, fantastic drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere!

Amazing staff! Beautiful setting. Cozy and fun for cool fall evening….but I can see all seasons being so perfect here. They had live music that was wonderful. Food and drinks delicious! All the stars. Will definitely be back!

My experience at the Waterfront Hotel was decent. Service was good and attentive. Drinks were good. Food was decent, although I only had a salad and wings. There was a live band. Definitely dive bar vibes. I would go back if in the area.

Great my server was so patient and my baby was busy
