The Velvet Ditch

Jared and his staff were amazing! Drinks were great! Food came out fast and was so good! We had the shrimp, mozzarella sticks and shrimp and grits. Everything was soooo good! Will definitely come back! Can't wait for the new outdoor space!

Bratton willoughby is the greatest bartender ever this place is the best bar on the oxford square

Despite the place being completely packed the food, service, and atmosphere were great! Servers were very attentive and checked on us frequently. We will definitely be back!

Best Royal reds I've ever had. The oysters were equally amazing. The cheese grits were good but not the best I've had. My husband said his burger and fries were good. We had multiple different employees stop by our table and ask how things were. Customer service here is top notch.

100% Honest Review. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (one dude's opinion)The Good: The food is awesome. The fried fish and shrimp were hot, fresh, and seasoned nicely (just a little salty). The chicken alfredo was some of the best I've ever had. Perfecto. Also, the service was excellent. They gonna give you the smallest, flimsiest, cheapest plastic cup to hold your 6.5 oz of soda but they're gonna refill it nineteen times. What I'm saying is they're going to check on you a lot. A+++The Bad: The prices and portions are ridiculous. The chicken alfredo (which tasted great!) came in a fairly small bowl with (seriously) about 3 oz of grilled chicken and it cost $15.99. I ended up having to order a second one. It's one thing to charge Oxford prices but it's another when I have to dig around in my wife's purse for a granola bar after I finish my plate. Come on now; it's just chicken and pasta. Put a little more in that bowl! Also, the tables were so crammed tight together that I was rubbing shoulder blades with the person behind me.The Ugly: The place looks like a bordello. The moment I walked in I thought I was in a gentleman's club and needed to go get some singles. All that's missing is a pole and some upside down pineapples. Also tacky is the 3% service fee for using a credit card. Petty. Summary: This place isn't a restaurant that serves alcohol. It's a bar that serves food. It has some awesome food, a more awesome staff, an out of whack pricing/portion model, and a cramped, loud, weird interior. We've met Jared (owner) and he seems like a super nice, humble, Christian fella and we look forward to seeing him again...at The Landshark (his other restaurant across town).

Charbroiled oyster were the best I've tasted! Customer service is excellent here! The atmosphere is confusing. TVs for sports, decorations velvet decor and elegant looking. Bathroom needs help. Loud atmosphere but it is a bar. Just remember that.

Excellent service. The owner was very accommodating to help us get seated. Bartenders and servers were equally attentive and friendly. Food was served hot and presented great. Royal Reds were delicious and served with an excellent garlic butter and cocktail sauce. Generous pours on wine too. We will be back!

Every item on this menu is PHENOMENAL!! (& yes I've tried every single item!). The vibe here reminds me of New Orleans... which makes it feel like home... & the service is insane, every server checks on every single table. 10/10 recommend
