    Longleaf restaurant in the Atlanta Botanical Garden did an exceptional job last Saturday evening. It was the next to last weekend for the Garden's popular Garden Lights holiday display, and the restaurant was operating at maximum capacity. In spite of the volume, the food was excellent, the service was prompt and friendly, and the overall experience was consistent with our experience of this restaurant over several years now. You would do well to try to include a visit to Longleafs when your next visit, the Atlanta botanical garden.

    India, our server, was exceptional. Anyone who brought us food or a drink was friendly and if we asked a question or placed an additional order they were more too happy to assist. The food was wonderful. Everything we ate was exceptional. The restaurant is pretty. It was very quiet when we arrived at 6:45 with few tables occupied. But by the time we left at 8:30 it was full.
