Blanton House Restaurant & Venue

"We went to the Blanton house for a Saturday dinner with friends. The house and grounds are beautiful. I could easily see this location as a beautiful wedding/reception location. Menu was small but with a powerful selection of choices. We started with a round of cocktails including espresso martinis . Our appetizers were the bread service and the southern egg rolls. For dinner we had a wide selection duck, pork chops, fillet, gnocchi,and linguine and mussels. Food was plated very well and service was timely and severed hot. Food and service were first class. If I had to be picking it would be with the duck confiet. The duck portion seemed undersized to me and a few of the beans were hard. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back. This is a perfect place for a special night out."

"Blanton House is a wonderful addition to Marion. The beauty and preservation of the home is really special. You can have a different experience on multiple visits just by the room you choose. The bar has a cozy and elevated feel. The food was extremely delicious. Favorites were the tomato bisque (so flavorful!) the fried gnocchi (a must have!) and the southern egg rolls (yum!!). Our server Jasmine was a sweetheart too. Can’t wait to go back and try brunch!"

"Beautiful old home. Right next to the post office. Classy place for dinner or weekend Brunch. Full bar. Upscale Marion Restaurant. Beautiful back patio. Owners used to live in the house then moved next door and opened a restaurant in this house. Pleasant and kind staff. Dinner only Thur to Sat. Brunch Friday to Sunday."
