Inicio

After reading the raving reviews online, my expectations for Inicio were high, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The menu, set by the chef, seemed promising, but the reality did not live up to the hype. Our service was just okay. While others have mentioned receiving detailed explanations about the decorations, the origins of the dishes, and more, our experience was much more basic. Our dishes were introduced, but that was the extent of the interaction. We were looking forward to a truly immersive experience, but the setting was just okay, lacking the wow factor we had anticipated. One of the most disappointing aspects was the value. Our meal, including drinks, totaled over $500, yet there wasn’t a single dish that I would look forward to eating again. Based on the glowing reviews, I expected much more from the experience

Absolutely an incredible experience! Not just fine dining, but a work of art. Chef Justin Haynes is the real deal. The atmosphere he created, the elaborate and masterfully prepared dishes, the wine he chose for each... There's really no words to fully encapsulate the genius of it all.

It was like a dream. Food, atmosphere and service were outstanding. The wine paired good with the food it was fresh and outstanding. Also, the presentation of the food was well done The staff was awesome also. I would possibly say it was one of the best restaurant I’ve been in 43 years. Also added bonus we were the only ones there for the night.

Truly exquisite dining experience and culinary delight. What a great gift to have in Augusta GA. Highly recommend for special occasions.

Fantastic tasting menu. It was a truly an immersive experience. Chef Hayes really engaged all our senses. We had the summer menu and thoroughly enjoyed every course. We will be doing this again!
