I came here for a family function for a friend of mine and while they were able to seat us early and were helpful, the service was average. It seems for long periods of time we would be forgotten about. We ordered some appetizers to share and what they consider a crabcake is pathetic. There were two on the plate... More

Have tried their brunch several times, found them overpriced, food "ok" but nothing special and the last visit, after informing the server that one of us had a fatal nut allergy, one of the owners (per our server) came to our table to inform us that we were in a resturant not a hospital and that we couldn't expect 706...

We havent been coming to 706 for a few years because the last couple of visits have been less than good, but we went 2 days ago and the food was as delicious as before. Our favourite Pasta Agave was on the money. The garlic rolls were still a little doughy but that wasn't going to spoil our night. Great... More

We dined here again last night for the first time in several years, and were really impressed with how much better the food and service seemed from our memories. The salmon pasta dish was outstanding, as was the agave pasta dish. The pasta was perfect, all the vegetables fresh and perfectly cooked, and the salmon (Scottish) was about as good... More

The service was great as well as the food. Large portions. The mona lisa chicken was very good. The seafood dish my husband had with mussels, shrimp and scallops could have used more shrimp. Short wait, nice bar area. Great selection of wines. Would go back. Desserts were wonderful - chocolate cake and a peanut butter pie.

The Sunday buffet is something very different and interesting. My husband loves it. I usually get the eggs benedict instead. Their cheese grits are amazing. A little new age but the folks are very friendly and it is quite an interesting place to visit.
