The Wilcox Hotel and Restaurant is a local favorite and historic landmark. My wife and I have celebrated our anniversary there with a wonderful dinner. The service was fantastic and the food was equally delicious! We returned with another couple to enjoy the Thursday jazz and dinner. Making a reservation for the front lobby seating is highly recommended for the music. We explored the menu with our order of oysters, red snapper ceviche, tenderloin, etc. everyone loved their meal! The four piece jazz ensemble were very entertaining and created a dancing atmosphere. If you are coming to Aiken SC and enjoy southern charm with a touch of class…you have to experience The Wilcox!

A wonderful evening out with friends. A group of 5 people celebrating a birthday. Spencer was a fantastic attentive server and had no problem slicing and serving a cake that we brought. Wonderful ambiance and incredible food. Highly recommend the filet and the crab cakes.

Dinner was awesome. From the valet at the door to the ambiance inside the restaurant. Though it was busy during Masters week, the workers were accommodating and thoughtful. The presentation of the food was top notch. Corey the server was 10 stars. One consideration…. do NOT order the Wagyu steak. At $125, parts of the steak fillet was stringy and tough. Other than that, everything was superb…just don’t order the Wagyu for dinner.

I really wanted to like this place. We have a Lake house here in Aiken and visit periodically. This occasion was for my husbands birthday. We played a few rounds of golf and then grabbed dinner ant the Willcox afterwards. The ambience is nice, but we were squished at a two seated table, with another table right next to us. We had no privacy, or intimacy. We could hear their conversation the entire time. It did not feel romantic whatsoever. The service was okay, it took a while to initially track our server down. The wine selection was nice. However the food was awful. The steak was overcooked and tasted like cilantro. It was very overpowering. I would come back to drink here and ask for a different table. I most certainly would not dine here again, especially for a special occasion.

Service is absolutely the highlight here Nathan our server was on top of it at our table ten times never had an empty glass or had to wait on a thing. Food was good but nothing too special if I had to order again would definitely recommend the pork chop best dish at our table 5/5. Great energy and music as well for a Thursday night
