    Our food was excellent! Nice crowd for Christmas Day that appeared to be having a great time! We have two sons that came from out of town from a much larger city and they were very impressed with the quality and quality of food that was served for a fairly reasonable price.

    Fabulous, elegant but casual atmosphere. Tanner and Jeff are outstanding bartenders! We ordered the prime rib but only had the 24 oz. that night so my sister and I waded in but had to take much home! Would have loved a horseradish sauce for it. The mashed potatoes were excellent! Wish we had room for the coconut cake! Since we live here you know we will be back again and frequently!

    Ambiance was great, seated quickly and cozy booth. Celebrating our anniversary and they gave us a nice card...nice touch. Server was nice but did not have it together and made our experience a bit sour. Forgot to put in one of our side orders and never replenished drinks. He did comp the side but really would have loved with our meal. For the price, service should be spot on. Maybe more training?? Will try again as our food was good but service really sets the tone for me.

    Could not have celebrated Christmas Eve any better. Our first time at The Vandiver and everything was right on. Our waitress, Alex(andra), was incredibly superb. The meal was exquisite, from appetizers to desserts. Can't wait to return.

    We dined at seven pm. Beautiful location. Seated immediately. Appetizers were good. When ordering food we were informed they were out of Wellington and prime rib. Very disappointing. Obviously a problem if you are out of your signature dish’s that early in the evening. Everyone’s food was good, it just wasn’t what we came there to eat!

    As folks who split time between Atlanta and Clayton, our dinner experience for one of our kiddos (turning 26) was terrific! The team added special touches for our birthday girl and the atmosphere was lively. The tacos, burger, schnitzel and sprouts for the table were delicious. Limited wine list but the options are solid. This wasn’t our first visit and won’t be our last. Hats off to Indigo Road for rehabbing the Old Clayton Inn and bringing a vibrant space to one that was empty for years! The concept is on par with what one would expect in a bigger city. Looking forward to our next meal!
