Best Restaurants for Foodies in Candler Park

The experience was great. However the menu on Open Table is outdated. I wanted the Pork Belly appetizer, my husband wanted the Braised Beef or Short Rib Ravioli and I wanted to try the Butterscotch Italian Pudding. But none of those items were on the menu. We ordered the drinks and ordered Chicken Parmigiana and Eggplant Parmigiana all was great! And their bread is delicious and so soft!

My fiancé and I had the opportunity to be a part of Cooks & Soldiers’ 10 year anniversary celebration, and let me tell you that we were BEYOND IMPRESSED. There was a stellar tasting menu with generous portions, and service was TOP-NOTCH!!! A huge shoutout goes to WILLIAM (a former manager who’s now at a another location within the CHG but even made a guest appearance 🫨), JO (one of our go-to servers), DEJA (the general manager - my apologies if I misspelled your name), JOSH (another manager), the bartenders, the chef, and the rest of the Cooks & Soldiers team (both FOH and BOH). The hospitality/customer service and teamwork was impeccable, which was refreshing to witness. When I didn’t think it was possible, Cooks & Soldiers did it again, providing yet another unforgettable dining experience!!! Honestly though, I shouldn’t be surprised when this is the standard the CHG has set. Kudos to you all and keep up the great work!!! Here’s to future success and many more celebrations!!! Cheers!!! 🥂🎉🥳🤩

Serena Pastifico is a gem of an Italian restaurant that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring that every detail of our evening was seamless. They made us feel like honored guests without being overbearing—exactly what excellent service should be. The star of the evening, however, was undoubtedly the food. While everything we ordered was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor, the Crab Ravioli deserves special mention. This dish was a masterpiece: delicate pasta filled with a creamy blend of spinach, ricotta, and fresh herbs, paired with tender lump crab. The brown butter sauce was luxurious, perfectly balanced by the nuttiness of the almond picada and the sharpness of the parmesan, a citrus zest and fresh herbs. Every bite was a revelation, combining richness and freshness in equal measure.

Our first time was awesome! Great food, even better service! Shout out to Carlos (Hot Cross Buns) and the team for great recommendations and service! We will be back! Try this if you are in town. You will not be disappointed!

Returned to "The Pig" as we like to call it for the nth time. Really enjoyed the Fall/Winter menu and the service was spectacular.
