This was my last day coming to Atlanta and I’m so glad I chose this restaurant to end the night with I ordered the farm house burger. It was so good from a rate from 1-15 I would say it’s a 11. I say that because I put fried hard egg on it. Now I have to come back and try again and more . The service was really good. I will comeback.

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Enjoyed the caviar, octopus, squid and clam pasta, hazelnut chocolate cake. Everything was deliberate and well executed. Bold flavors and thoughtful presentation. Met the chef and front of house manager…both women are dedicated and gems of the industry. As a retired fine dining chef, this experience was top tier. Will be back with family and friends.
