Jermaine was the best! Dining out with allergies is never easy, but I sure was spoiled at Jasmine Porch. I was able to have my very own gluten free fried tomato, gluten free bread, and gluten free filet mignon. Jermaine came and told me that they prepared everything in a separate area of the kitchen, which was very reassuring. The drinks were great, the food was phenomenal, and the service was fantastic. Photos: swordfish, filet mignon (gf), and a gluten free fried green tomato!

Entire wait staff was awesome. Super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Enjoyable evening. In contrast, Food was less than... I've eaten all over the world, this was not impressive, especially for the cost. I ordered a medium-well filet, asked for NO CHAR & NO RED. Solid Pink ok. Steak was completely charred, but more red than pink. Dessert (bland bread pudding with grainy caramel sauce) was mediocre. Overall, the food would not draw me back. But the service / staff might make me willing to try again in the future to see if this was a one off kind of night. If i was a full on food critic or influencer, they would not have passed muster tonight.

While we stayed at the Sanctuary, we had our little Cavalier King Charles spaniel Cholly with us. The staff at Jasmines was so kind and professional as to accommodate us with a corner table and special dishes for Cholly. The food was excellent. But was staff was incredible! Always a smile and sweet words. Always accommodating. Southern hospitality at its best.

We have previously had excellent experiences over the last few years. We were seated directly next to a double door to a porch, with lots of traffic, despite many unoccupied tables that were not highly trafficked. The service was good, if perhaps a bit intrusive (four different people topping up your water every two minutes). The food was perfectly acceptable, but unremarkable. The fried green tomatoes seemed like they had commercial onion ring batter. The lobster bisque had no remarkable flavors. My fillet had a mealy texture. At almost $100 pp without alcohol included, we expected better.

I had the tofu scramble and coffee with oat milk. It was one of the best tofu scrambles I’ve ever had. Very well seasoned with a curry flavor to it. The milk for my coffee came heated. The chef also took care not to cross contaminate my food with any dairy/egg allergens which was highly appreciated. Thank you for having several vegan options!
