Beautiful restaurant with a romantic vibe. My husband and I came here on Valentine’s Day. What we ordered: -Lamb chops, came with 2 sides : Mac & cheese and sweet fries potatoes - Salmon: we choose fries and mashed potatoes for sides - Fried calamari as appetizer. -2 strawberries non-alcohol cocktail drinks We spend about $160 in all, but honestly, all our food were delicious. The atmosphere was nice. At first, we were the only customers in the restaurant around 6pm. Then later on, it started to get a little crowded. -No live singer on Valentine’s Day, which was a bit disappointing.

Since it was walking distance from me, we decided to come here for dinner and to watch some Sunday night football. The atmosphere was beautiful. Although our drinks took over 20 minutes, they were good. I will say the presentation was better than the drink itself. I enjoyed the skewers for the appetizer, probably the best out of everything we had. The salmon was OK, a little dry but the sides were very yummy. I do have to note that my experience would have been better if the service wasn’t so slow & if our server had a better attitude. It seemed like she was annoyed and everytime i asked questions about the menu, she made me feel as if i was inarticulate. I can forgive the food not being 100%, given it was a little late. However, there were no more than 15 customers inside and the service being subpar and slow was unforgivable. Being a server myself, this was disappointing for a place that’s so beautiful.

Overall I think the atmosphere is the best part about this restaurant. Sort of an upscale sports bar. Drinks and service were good. My friend and I got the lamb chops and the lobster tails. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly but the lobster was way overcooked and rubbery, big disappointment

Visited on Saturday night for a birthday dinner with about 14 friends. The staff was very accommodating and the service was fantastic. Our server did an amazing job. Very professional. The food was delicious. We had the calamari as an appetizer, and for my entree, I had the ribeye, mashed potatoes, and broccolini, and my lady had the lamb chops, Mac & Cheese and the brussel sprouts. This evening there was also a live band "2 & a Possible". These gentlemen did a fantastic job and really created a nice vibe. The atmosphere was chill for date night or even just hanging with friends. Overall, it was a great experience. I am already planning my next visit.

This is one of the most romantic date-night restaurants in Atlanta. The live music is so soulful, with a cover band playing R&B music from the 90s- 2000s. The drinks are reasonably priced and strong. The lamb and salmon entrees are so good, I can't wait to come back and have it again. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. I would highly recommend it for date night, birthday party or brunch.

I like to be positive first. Our waiter was kind, and the atmosphere/interior was breathtaking. The food however, is not good. Presentation was wonderful, but the food was burnt, and not cooked full through.

The restaurant is beautiful. However I went with some friends on Thursday night and it was completely empty. There were 6 employees sitting at the table near the door and no one greeted us. Although we were the only table for over an hour, our server constantly visited the table to rush us through. She was not friendly at all. The food was ok but not worth the price. Disappointed since I was excited to see this place open and the decor is really beautiful.

Tremendous vibes, the decor is top tier. This spot is bringing a different vibe to the city of Atlanta. The food was amazing and drink selection has a wide variety. My new spot to catch the game and enjoy live music and just vibe.
