Great way to wrap up a long day👍 Thank you again. -Mason
September 28 · Mason RothmanOutstanding! Bravo! Had an amazing date night here for restaurant week and we have already decided we will be coming back here on a more frequent basis. Our server was Madison, she was incredible. Very knowledgeable and friendly and always came by at just the right time. Our food was sooo flavorful and delicious! I don’t even like pecan pie but I tried a piece of my hubbys and it was easily one of the best things I have ever tried. The ambience was perfect, the restaurant very aesthetically pleasing, a great selection of music was playing in the background, I literally have NO complaints about this place. Keep up the amazing work!

August 16 · Darlene LandgraveWe are so happy we chose to celebrate a graduation at The Macintosh. The food, service, and restaurant provided the perfect elevated dining experience for the occasion. The brussel sprouts were a crowd favorite! All of our dishes exceeded our expectations. Even the water was delicious! Another favorite dish was the salmon and orzo. The flavors were on point! We will definitely return next time we are in town.
May 07 · William AligoodI truly enjoyed stumbling into this place. I had walked into Twin Peaks (chain restaurant ) which was next door to my hotel. I wanted a cold beer/drink and DEFINITELY some FOOD. (the place was pretty quiet) see that Happy Hour was over. SADLY after 15-20 minutes without service I walked out.Thank GOODNESS 'THE MACINTOSH' just around the corner in the same shipping center made my long day of travel WORTHY!FOOD, SERVICE AND COMFORT...
