1908 Provisions

Some of my girl friends and I came for their Sunday brunch. It's in a very cute white building that looks like the Fresh Princes house. There's a live piano player and a nice waiting area with a fire place. The Sunday buffet was $20/person. This rating is just for their brunch, not regular restaurant hours and menu items. Only thing I really liked was the etouffee and salmon, everything else was just okay. I'd rather spend more on one good plate of food off of their menu. There's a waffle and omelet station, but isn't much for you choose from to put in your omelet or waffle... It's a nice white table cloth restaurant, I'd like to come back and try some of their menu items.

Wonderful experience. Great food and wonderful service. We had a problem with the staff being overwhelmed and slow with the service but the restaurant more than amply made up for any inconvenience that we might have had. The buffet was very good and had a wide variety of meats, vegetables, seafood and dessert. I highly recommend that if you are in the Jackson, Miss. area that you reserve a spot for the Sunday Brunch.

We were tired after driving all day, so was nice to have a restaurant and bar right in the hotel as an option. The Library Lounge (separate review) is right next to the restaurant, and also serves small plates. When we moved to the restaurant, we were the only ones in there, and it stayed that way through our entire meal. Granted, it was a little early, but that was surprising. The decor is nice enough and the place is spotless. We were surprised at how slow it was getting our food, especially since we were the only ones in there. However, the food was quite good.

I was not impressed with the food or the service. We were a group of thirteen with a 7 PM reservation. We were seated promptly, and basically had the restaurant to ourselves. We had to ask for water — and had to keep asking, as no one was paying attention. It took a good half hour before the waiter took our entree orders. Our waiter disappeared so often, we joked that perhaps he was also the chef... Entrees were served at 8:50 PM. My pasta with shrimp was inedible due to the heavy use of spice (and I like spicy food). Others in the group reported cold soup. I would not eat there again.
