Celebrated my birthday here and it was so great! Everything was 5 stars. We had the arancini and baked crab dip for appetizers, chimichurri steak and scallops for dinner and strawberry shortcake dessert. Recommend everything. Our server was also great and brought me a glass of champagne on the house for my birthday. I’ve been for brunch too and that is also great. Can’t wait to be back. So many things on the menu look delicious.

It was such a wonderful experience with my wife and my 10 year old. We would love do it again. It was outstanding from first moment: talking about valet parking, customer service, food, drinks, atmosphere everything.

Our server was great! His name was Collin or Cole? Sorry I can’t remember right now but he was very kind. I was sitting by myself waiting on my friend to arrive, he greeted me and made me feel super comfortable while I waited for her to arrive. Then once she arrived he took great care of us. The chef brought us our food and he was kind as well. The food and drinks were AMAZING as always a 10/10! The only thing I was disappointed by was that they removed the 3 course meal promo. That’s what I get every time without that it made the meal way more expensive than what I normally pay but again I had a great time. The Select is becoming one of my favorite restaurants here in Atlanta!
