" Dining at Theresa's was a lovely experience! The food was tasty, especially the cheese board that we ordered for starters. The service was attentive and friendly. I tried the spaghetti carbonara and it was cooked beautifully! My friends opted for the ravioli and said it was equally delicious. One downside I noticed was the dining time management; we were hurried through our meal a bit. Overall, a charming spot that I look forward to visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed with my latest visit to Theresa's South. While the server was friendly, the food didn't meet my expectations for a restaurant with such a good reputation. I ordered the salmon, which was overcooked and a bit dry. The sides were decent, but overall, I felt the meal lacked flavor and freshness. I understand that it's a busy time of year, but I still expected more given the costs. I want to give it another try since it could have just been an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a gorgeous restaurant! The ambiance at Theresa's South is fantastic. When you walk in, you are met with warmth and the smell of delicious food! My partner and I started off with the eggplant salad, then we shared the seafood pasta. The homemade pasta was a real treat! I’m very particular about sauces, but theirs was spot on. Only downside? Our waiter seemed a little preoccupied and we had to wait a bit for refills. But the food made this minor inconvenience forgivable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Theresa's South has a beautiful ambiance that draws you in as soon as you walk through the door. I went there for my anniversary dinner, and I was pleased with the attention provided by our waiter. The seafood pasta was indeed fresh, but I found it slightly lacking in seasoning. The highlight of the meal for me was the dessert—a rich chocolate torte that was absolutely perfect. If they could amp up the flavor profiles in the pasta dishes, it would elevate the experience significantly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Theresa's South continues to impress us every time we visit! The vibe of the restaurant connects seamlessly with the warm hospitality they provide. We had the lobster linguine special which was nothing short of divine! Everyone mentioned how fresh the seafood and homemade pasta tasted. The only downside was our server who could’ve been a bit more attentive, as it felt we had to chase down our refills. That said, we definitely plan on returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night our group of six tried Theresa's South, and we had a blast! The fresh bread and whipped butter served was delicious right off the bat. I had the crab cake and a rigatoni dish with steak. I can't say enough about the freshness of the ingredients. Most of us agreed the service was slightly slow, but the tasty food made it worth the wait. We ended the night sharing the rocky road brownie, and trust me, we’ll all be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t sure what to expect from Theresa's South, but I was pleasantly surprised. We went there on a whim and felt very welcomed. I had the special, which was a herb-crusted salmon with asparagus, they did an excellent job! Everything tasted fresh, and the seasoning was just right. However, the service could be much nicer. Our server seemed a bit disengaged, even though the food made up for it. Overall, quite a nice place to enjoy a meal! " (*Curated Review*)
