One of the best places I had dinner at. Outstanding food, service and staff. And cocktails 🍹 are unique. I will visit again. Oh and the ambience is awesome too.
It was good as always. I was slightly disappointed that the lobster rolls have seemed to shrink and my little messy shrimp appetizer recipe is different. The yummy toast at the bottom of the dish isn't as buttery and the dish itself is spicy now which I love spice being Creole in all but the old recipe was much better. Maybe the new chef had our health in mind when he changed things up a bit! �
I'm in Atlanta every July for the mart. I make sure to book a night here. Love love love! Always fantastic!
Amazing service, food and atmosphere. We loved every minute and look forward to coming back. This is a must for anyone visiting Atlanta. I don't make many recommendations but this one was obvious.
Probably the best meal I have ever had, Striped Bass, wonderful!
