At first glance, the hotel-lobby-esque decor of this new restaurant/jazz club — from the Bynum brothers of Zanzibar Blue fame — feels like an odd setting for the menu of down-South favorites. But step into the moody lounge area, with its corner stage and long oak bar, and your appetite for good old-fashioned Southern comfort rises. Here, the honey-and-butter-topped cornbread is baked to order, and the long-time-cooked turkey legs are just that — braised overnight, then smothered in the house-made rosemary gravy. Service can be slow, but when the jazz is playing, you won’t mind waiting. Insider tip: Jazz performances are only scheduled Thursday through Sunday.

I choose Relish to host my husband's suprise 50th birthday party last Sunday. We had a party of 70 guests. With Sherri Stevens, event coordinator at the helm it was a smashing success!!Everyone is still raving about the great service, excellent food,and awesome entertainment - live music featuring international recording artist Nneka Best. Some of our guests have already returned and several of us are planning to return for an evening of jazz and dining. Thanks for making this milestone in my husband's life an event he will always remember!!

I chose Relish for my birthday dinner which turned out to be a mistake. The food was very good, and our waitress was quite pleasant but overall timeliness and service left much to be desired. The martini's were weak and even warm by the time they reached us. One of our appetizers arrived without share dishes or even a serving spoon. The other one, the cornbread arrived much later with an apology and an offer for a complimentry appetizer to take home. At least an hour after our arrival we received our meals which were, but it was 10:00pm. We left disgruntled without our complimentary appetizer after reminding the waitress twice I simply was not going to beg. I enjoyed the food and might return, but only if I wasn't really hungry and had an infinite amount of time to wait.

The restaurant was very nice. My only complaint was ..I had a reservation and still had to wait 1 hour not to mention it took forever for the food to come out. Living an hour away from the city made my birthday celebration alittle not so happy. But I will say the food was superb and I am even thinking about going there again for my husband's 40th birthday celebration....I give everyone a second chance.

From the hostess to the waiters & waitresses, the atmosphere was wonderful with politeness, a smile and gracious staff. They were very accommodating with reservations if changes occurred. The food was superb and the entertainment was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend and return again myself.

My husband & I took our son and daughter-in-law for their birthday along with the 2 granddaughters. The service was great, Chris our waiter was the best, and the food was sooo delicious. Our selections were catfish, salmon, and fried chicken and we all enjoyed. I had a birthday cake for their b'day and Chris brought it out with candles and cut and served it. I was soo impressed and would tell all how good it is to eat at Relish. Oh and when I got the bill I was surprised it was lower than what I thought.

My husband and I went last weekend. Food was wonderful. So happy to have Relish in West Oak Lane. Yes it's not in Germantown as listed. The portions are healthy. My only complaint is if you're sitting at one of the small tables, the plates are too big for the table so it made it a little uncomfortable eatting, but we managed!
