Food, ambience, service were perfection. The only negative was that a 20% service charge was automatically included for our party of three, which was fine with me. However, there was also another line on the tab to include a tip, which I filled out, not noticing that it was already included. Seems a bit deceptive to me.

The food and outdoor patio are very comfortable. However, the best part of the whole meal was our server Kristina. She's always cheerful, smiling in addition to being efficient. Perfect way to enjoy a meal at Shepherd & Sims.

Love the outdoor dining at this restaurant, and the pizzas are top notch. Our server, Henry, was great; very attentive without being intrusive. Only thing to note here though is the ice tea is flavored, they don't have just regular old ice tea, which our friends weren't happy about. We loved the beer flights and the blood orange martini though!
