Restaurants near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

This was my second time having lunch at Gianni and Mac’s. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding. I took my Italian friend to get his opinion. He was very impressed with his meal (comparable to “back home”) and the overall restaurant design and decor. He says he wants to come back for dinner soon. The arancini balls are outstanding and you can’t miss with their pizza selections. This is my go to place on the Marietta Square.

My husband and I celebrated Valentines Day at Macs this past Sunday and had an amazing meal! We had the Beef Wellington bites, French Onion Soup & Cesar Salad to start and everything was superb! I had the Barrel Filet cooked medium rare with bone marrow butter and my husband had the Prime Rib-eye and they were both amazing!! I was really looking forward to trying the Sticky Toffee Pudding but I looked at the wrong menu online so we skipped dessert and had some night cap cocktails. Our night was great with great service as well! Will definitely comeback!

This is the best Valentines I ever had. The service was amazing. The food came out in a timely manner. All three courses were delicious! Abby, our server was amazing. We had a great glass of Moscato downstairs and they put glitter in it for us. Amazing amazing amazing will definitely be back.

Overall the dining experience was 5 stars. The waitstaff is top notch and we enjoyed our time. I did not enjoy my meal as much as I wanted too. It was very salty and in my opinion had too much oil. I suspect that this is not the norm as many people in my life rave about this place. I will try again in the future to see if it was just an off meal.

Capers on Main doesn’t look like much on the outside. To be honest, my wife and I were wondering if we had made a mistake as we pulled up but the parking lot was full and capers had come recommended. We got in and the dining room was about 80% full with a mix of couples and girl groups doing “gallentine”. Shortly after we were seated the piano man started playing in the lounge which is comfy with a nice fireplace. We got our drinks and here is where I knew we were in for a good experience. I ordered a martini with a twist. Most bartenders will be lazy and toss in a wedge, never mind that the wedge overpowers the martini and I drink too shelf but this bartender gave me to twist and even had a cool presentation for it skewered on a toothpick. My wife had a special martini from the house specialty menu. She ordered the blackened pasta and I had the crab cakes. Both were good, the crab cakes had a fruit sauce that was light and sweet, not overpowering and the crab cakes were mostly crab, almost no filler. The blackened pasta was decent. It’s a good choice if you don’t want to be overpowered with seasoning. For desert we had the crème brûlée. It was enough for 2 with a few bites left over. All in all we spent a hundred bucks plus tip and felt we got out money’s worth. Our waitress was very nice and had a great balance for not hovering but also not letting us linger with needs not fulfilled. Service very good.
