The Huntsman

My experience at the Huntsman was stellar! The food was unique and truly a gem here in Tallahassee. The service was attentive, personable, and intentional. Luis was our server and I will keep coming back just for him! He took his time with us, had great conversation, and offered incredibly tailored recommendations to our table. By the appetizers we wanted to invite him to sit with us! Highly recommend!

My husband surprised me with a special birthday dinner at the Huntsman. Let me tell you it was definitely an experience. The menu was very unique and not something you can find at any other restaurant I have been to. We started with an old fashioned and they were perfect!!!!! I am not one who likes to venture out of my normal so stuck with the filet and was delicious! All the dishes looked like artwork. All the servers were so attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

Wow!!! The food was AMAZING! Everything we tried was so delicious! The crafted dishes are made with high-quality ingredients. The service was top-notch, Andrew was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. He made our experience so much better with the care and attention to detail that he provided. As for the our dinner the steak was soft and had so much flavor! The lobster was cooked perfectly! The drinks had a good amount of alcohol that we ordered a second round. The desert was so flavorful! Recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an amazing culinary experience with a great ambiance! Would definitely return on our next visit to Tallahassee.

The Culinary Plot Twist I Didn’t See Coming The Huntsman didn’t serve me dinner — they served me a flavor intervention. Started with an old fashioned that made me question every watered-down cocktail I’ve ever tolerated. Then came the bread service, which… let’s just say if carbs are a sin, I’m going to hell smiling. And the wild game lasagna? Bechamel. Basil. Lemon whipped ricotta. Pomodoro. Caponata. A5 wagyu garlic bread. At this point I had to check if Gordon Ramsay was hiding in the kitchen whispering affirmations to my plate. Every bite was like a rich uncle flew in from Italy, shot a deer, and layered it in culinary gold. To top it all off, the service was just as impressive — attentive, friendly, and somehow always one step ahead without being overbearing. The kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’ve been coming there for years. 10/10 would cancel plans just to eat here again. Possibly the best decision I’ve made all year.

Elevated Fine Dining at The Huntsman – A Culinary Celebration Worth Remembering We recently celebrated our daughter’s graduation from Florida State University (FSU) at The Huntsman Restaurant and Bar, and the entire experience was nothing short of extraordinary. If you’re searching for the best fine dining restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida for a celebration, anniversary, or just an elevated night out—this is it. From the moment we stepped inside, the atmosphere radiated class and comfort. The elegant bar setup instantly caught my eye, signaling that this is a place where handcrafted Old Fashioneds and curated cocktails are serious business. My Whistle Pig Old Fashioned was smooth, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Andrew, our server, was exceptional—warm, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. His recommendation of the Rabbit Makhani from the main course menu stole the show. With its savory Indian curry, cardamom basmati rice, and garlic naan, it was so incredible I paused mid-bite on my 16oz Prime Split Bone-In Ribeye—which speaks volumes! Our table shared a variety of stunning starters: the A5 Wagyu Pierogies with hazelnut pesto and beet butter, the crispy eggplant with mascarpone mousse and pearl onion agrodolce, and a generously portioned charcuterie board that hit every note from salty to sweet. Dining in one of their private rooms made our celebration feel intimate and personalized. Even the valet team added to the experience by walking each of us to our vehicle with umbrellas during a light rain—pure hospitality at its finest. To top it off, we were gifted a bottle of WhistlePig 10-Year Single Barrel, exclusively bottled for The Huntsman. That thoughtful touch sealed the night as one of our most cherished family memories. Menu Highlights for Food Lovers: • Signature mains like Wood Fired Ribeye & Lobster, Guajillo Grilled South Texas Antelope, and Wild Game Lasagna • Creative preparations including Boar Bacon Wedge Salad, Fire Roasted Oysters, and Charred Octopus • A5 wagyu, elk filet, bison ribeye, and Faroe Islands salmon • Signature cocktails like The Huntsman, Black Gold, and Cafe Con Lechon • Top wine selection from Napa Valley, Paso Robles, Burgundy, and Mendoza • Vegetarian and gluten-free friendly with options like the Cauliflower Jagerschnitzel and Braised Jamaican Trumpet Mushrooms If you’re looking for a high-end dining experience with a wild twist, expertly crafted food, flawless service, and unforgettable ambiance—The Huntsman delivers. Treat your server like family, and they’ll treat you even better. We can’t wait to return. Hats off to Chef Skylar Stafford, Andrew and the whole team!

Our server Steph was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Definitely recommend if you haven't been here before then you need to! All of the food was amazing (forgot to take pics) but did of the desert... So good!

I was in town on business and got word from locals that The Huntsman was a must-visit spot—and they were absolutely right! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The food was exceptional, with thoughtfully crafted dishes that showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was top-notch, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff who made great recommendations. If you’re looking for a place that delivers on both ambiance and flavor, this is it. Definitely a spot I’d return to next time I’m in Tallahassee!

Shout out to our server, Kumi, and the great chefs that prepared our food! Our visit was a few months ago, but it’s easy to remember how great the service and food was. Best meat loaf I’ve had that I can remember, and hopefully it will be on the menu for our next visit!
