Great food and service. The music was 80s and 90s guitar singer, which was good. A little loud as we sat right across from him but still could carry on a conversation. The deviled eggs were amazing as always, and the pizza was perfectly made to our liking, even with it being a half/half with food allergies it was divided wonderfully. Thank you!

The entire place was so cute and felt very cozy. The staff were attentive and wonderful. The place is small which adds to the coziness of the place and makes it more intimate and for more of an experience. The courses and food were absolutely amazing and all the little add ins that are not listed in their menu online were welcomed surprises. You can tell they pour their passion and dedication to every dish. We will absolutely be coming back (we already booked for our next visit) and are recommending this place to whoever will listen. As much as i would love to gate keep this place, I dont think thats fair to not share how great of this place is.

I had an incredible dining experience at Restaurant 506! The ambiance was beautiful and welcoming, but what truly stood out was the service. I hate the veal stew , blackened salmon and bread pudding as part of their new menu. Everything came out hot , fresh and delicious. My server, Bree, went above and beyond to make my evening special. She was warm, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The manager also recognized me as I had previously dined before which was very personable. The entire staff is always so sweet and they always provided excellent service . Restaurant 506 has earned a loyal customer—I’ll definitely be back and recommending it to friends and family. Exceptional service, delicious food, and a memorable atmosphere!
