    Amazing all round. Food was great, but service was even better. Was my birthday, and as soon as I walked through the door, was greeted by the staff a happy birthday. Space allocated was prefect for the occasion. Made the experience truly memorable.

    What an incredible night of delicious food, exceptional service and a beautiful restaurant to celebrate Valentine's. Our server, Jose, was one of the best servers we have ever had. He was fun, knowledgeable, always there when we needed him. We ordered the French Onion Soup and the Mixed Salad to start, both were on point. My husband ordered their version of Steak Frites, a chopped ribeye basted in butter and thyme and served with the best frites! I ordered the Sole, deboned table side, it literally melted in my mouth. Dessert was Chocolate Souffle and Cheesecake...both again were made to perfection. We will definetly be back...sooner than later!

    I love this restaurant. It is a beautiful space with a great vibe, friendly, knowledgeable staff, great food, and service. It is terrific for everything from a special event to a business dinner. Plus, for Buckhead, the parking cost for valet is very reasonable.
