    Fairly extensive menu, including fine dining with vegetarian options as well as sandwiches. Full bar. Lovely atmosphere in old building. Tables nicely spaced apart. Friendly, attentive staff. Live jazz guitar was an unexpected bonus.

    The atmosphere was laid back with a musician playing his guitar on stage. The food was amazing! And, the wait staff had smiles on their faces from ear to ear. Thoroughly enjoyed our night out. Will definitely be back!!

    The restaurant was too loud, even before the music started. Our server was incompetent. We had to ask for refills on water and coffee multiple times. I expected really good service because it is part of a culinary school and I was extremely disappointed.

    Everything was wonderful. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and would highly recommend. It was unexpected with peppers and onions in the dish, but it was delicious. The pot sticker appetizer was my favorite.

    We truly enjoyed our dinner at Rhapsody. We were celebrating a birthday and the acoustic guitar player was a nice touch -- not too loud, just great, easy listening background music. My daughter ordered a pasta dish; I had salmon; and my husband had fish and chips. All portions were quite large. We loved the cheesecake with berries for dessert. The chocolate torte was a little dry but the ice cream and chocolate fudge made up for it. We will definitely return. Everything was very good, including the beer (from local brewery Jackie O's in Athens -- a Russian Imperial Stout). Yummmmmm!
