I love this place. The food is amazing and the wine is perfect. I honestly recommend it when you are very hungry.
The atmosphere was so relaxed and easy on the eyes; being 73 and a female that has experienced fine dining as well casual, I could not help but notice the extra touches, e.g. leaving table and my granddaughter's napkin receiving it's care by our server, which says "you are special to us" service was excellent and server very pleasant. The food was excellent and well prepared. I want to return and spend some time around that wonderful oyster bar. It was the perfect place to have lunch with family on my birthday.
I loved this place! The atmosphere was amazing! Everyone was so kind and helpful! The presentation of the food, made me want to dig in immediately! I had such great company as well. I highly recommend this place for all occasions! I live in North Carolina, but this will be my go to restaurant when I come to Atlanta!
Top notch all the way!!! Phenomenal food, service and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!
Love this place. We had perfect service in a wonderful atmosphere!!! Hands down the best restaurant that we have visited in Atlanta.
Dinner is so much better than lunch experience. Lobster risotto was the best ever.
