We eat here twice a year during our annual trip to Atlanta. During this trip the food was ample. The biggest turn off was the service. The server did the bare minimum and we felt rushed. The body language and lack of being pleasant was very noticeable as soon as we sat at the table. This is unacceptable for a 5 pm reservation for a party of two. We will return but will request a different server. We’ve had good experiences in the past.

Our second time dining here, and again is was very enjoyable dinner. From the hostess to the bartender to all our servers, the service was excellent. The lemon drops, halibut crudo, caesar salad, branzino and gelatos were all first rate. Such a lovely evening. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Highly recommend the bolognese and the steak Milanese. Everything we had was amazing, from apps & drinks to salads and entrees. We were extremely pleased :) also recommend requesting one of the booths if you have a part of 4.
