    This was a Paris like experience. Our table faces the front door so that we could people watch. The place is pretty loud but in a bustling exciting way. My wife and I could still hear each other because we were right next to each other on a small round table. The food and service were impeccable from start to finish. We had a wonderful Valentine’s lunch today.

    We were in Atlanta for a cheer competition and decided to give it a try! SO glad we did! The fried green tomatoes were tooooooo die for! We also had Caesar salads. One with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken. Absolutely delicious. There was plenty of cheese and dressing on each serving so we didn’t have to ask for anything else! Also, get the sweet tea! I probably consumed my body weight in sweet tea there. Fantastic. Additionally, our waitress was WONDERFUL. Kind, thoughtful, accommodating. We didn’t have to ask for refills a single time as she was so on top of everything! Wonderful wonderful wonderful experience! 10/10, highly recommend!

    La Grotta never disappoints. While the food is great, it is the service and pacing that makes the entire experience so wonderful. No pressure to order, no rushing you out after you’re done. Instead of just a meal, it becomes a wonderful event.
