Odette

Elevated comfort food at a reasonable price! Let me start by saying you have to save room for dessert - the cheesecake and creme brulee are some of the best desserts I've ever had, period. The cheesecake especially is incredibly balanced in flavor and texture with the addition of cookie crumbles and citrus slices. I ordered the asparagus grilled cheese and was impressed with the structural integrity of the bread as well as the fries being perfectly cooked, neither soggy or burnt. The ketchup is homemade and very interesting, slightly sweet and not "goopy" like regular ketchup. My one qualm is that the grilled cheese was quite heavy, and not as balanced as I would have hoped with the addition of the veggies. However, because it was so heavy and filling I had to get a box for half and am basically getting two full meals for the price of one! If you are looking for a rich grilled cheese with "hidden" veggies, you would like this. I came with a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. We demolished the white cheddar pimento cheese and asked for extra to go. Our server was also very nice and accommodating when we requested to split our checks in a somewhat complicated way. Whoever is designing the menu and working in the kitchen really knows what they're doing. If you are passing through Florence, as my group of friends was, make a stop here!

Great concept but needs some improvement. The back 2/3 of the restaurant has great ambiance but the front is seriously lacking, we almost didn't walk in due to the front being empty and cold...that nook in the front could have great lounge furniture or just a cozier table setup. The food was overly seasoned, very salty and some dishes had way too much going on where you couldn't enjoy the flavors.

We ate at Odette Saturday evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food, atmosphere, and service was outstanding. We enjoyed the kale Caesar salad, gulf blacked fish dish, and the special fish entree. My wife would love to recreate the kale salad and the andouille vinaigrette served with her dish. We definitely recommend Odette!

Best service I’ve had in a long time. Our waiter was Brian V. He was so helpful in explaining some of the menu items. Extremely kind and kept our glasses full and we all walked out stuffed. We started with the sampler platter. The deviled eggs were my favorite then for my entree I had the gnocchi with shrimp. We will definitely be coming back when we are in town for work next month. Incredible all around.
