Wonderful food! The chicken entree was incredible, cooked perfectly with good flavor and their pork sausage and cabbage pork roll were delicious. The noodles were a surprise hit amongst the table. The carbonara wasn’t very good but everything else was tasty. Service was good and our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu.

Just in town for a few days. Earlier in the day stopped into the Richland rum distillery in Brunswick. The distiller recommended Dorothy's. I'm so grateful for the recommendation. The evening at Dorothy's started with a rum flight and lively discussion of different rums, followed by a couple of tiki drinks. I haven't been served by such knowledgeable and personable bar staff in years. My husband and I were smitten and that was before ordering a few small plates. My husband is a very good cook and it's rare to eat out and have a meal better than home cooking. We both agreed that Dorothy's hit that mark. Well done team. Thanks for a lovely evening.

We came for the rum selection on the recommendation of the distiller at Richland Rum in Brunswick. Hands down, the best food, drinks and service of any place we stopped at during our time in the area. I did a rum flight along with a personal presentation of the selections by the manager. Beyond that, we did a series of small plates that were bursting with flavor. Add in the attentive, friendly staff and you have found a true gem on St Simon. Cannot recommend enough!

Incredible atmosphere- loved my cocktail and everything we ate. Chelsea was the best server, she was so attentive and kind. Food was amazing! We loved the Udon noodles with pork, but you can’t go wrong.

Kudos to our chef, food was phenomenal... service was a litte off putting. Roasted oysters - OMG, beyond delish, juicy, buttery. Hubby's fire roasted chicken also a hit, super favorful - cooked perfectly. Definitely gonna give it another shot. Cocktails 10/10.
