“This building, once the R.J. Reynolds headquarters, now houses a property with thoughtful amenities, including a bowling alley and basketball court; the on-site restaurant, featuring Southern cuisine, seemed a highlight. What struck me most was the dedication to service; a truly attentive barman can make all the difference. I'd certainly consider a return visit.”
