Our server was not very present. Sat for a while with steaks in front of us but without knives. Took a long time for drinks to come. Wanted to ask menu questions but she wasn’t visible. But the Xmas decorations were fantastic! Really enjoyed the festive ambiance. One of the better decorated restaurants for Xmas I’ve seen!

I saw the Premier Opening on Fox-5 featuring Paul M. I knew this would be the perfect spot for the occasion as we absolutely love French Cuisine. The space is intimate, the decor prestigious. And the Food, Out Of This World! Thank You Chef. But the evening could not have been complete without the kind & friendly service shown to us by our Server Ruth. She greeted us by Name, knew the Occasion and explained the entire Menu to us not realizing we had another gig to follow as we were running late because of… yep ATL traffic. It’s not always easy to find a pleasant server as we both travel the World for work. And I can’t leave out her attentive and funny side kick, Adrien. The B-Day Boi (as they call it) speaks a little French so it was the “Icing On The Cake”… pun intended. Thank You Open Table for featuring Brasserie Margot. See ya’ll soon. Carlton

We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Lily! Loved the pasta and my companion loved her Caesar salad with jerk chicken. We splurged on the sorbet, which was also excellent.

Our group enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening - we have a diverse group of tastes and Le Colonial provided something for everyone! The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
