    Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our waiter Andrew was excellent. He made great suggestions and checked on us frequently. The support wait staff also did a great job. The cassoulet, French onion soup and scallops were delicious. The portions are big and enough for an additional meal at home.

    I had such a great experience at Shilom Thai and Sushi Bar in Buckhead! The food was absolutely amazing—everything was so fresh and full of flavor. The sushi was perfect, and the Thai dishes were just as incredible. On top of that, the service was wonderful. The staff was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s definitely a place I’ll be coming back to, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a great vibe!

    I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!
