Our server explained dinner specials took our drink orders timely manner. The food was awesome cooked to our order. At the end of the meal I told our waitress that we had a memorable meal and she did an excellent job. She thanked us and told us she enjoys her job. We could tell she did a fantastic job. Highly recommend Third and Main for a great dining experience.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, attentive service that sets the tone for the entire meal. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience exceptional. The appetizers were tremendous—each bite perfectly crafted and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, their starters will leave you craving more. As for the main course, “delectable” doesn’t even do it justice. The dishes are a perfect balance of presentation, taste, and creativity. Every element on the plate feels intentional, showcasing a depth of flavor that only a top-tier kitchen can deliver. And then there’s the dessert—truly amazing. It’s the kind of sweet ending that makes you pause and savor every bite, knowing you’ve just indulged in something special. 3rd and Main easily secures a spot in my top 5 favorite restaurants. From start to finish, the meal was flawless. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, this is a place that guarantees an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
