Valet service was fine and probably the best choice if the area is crowded. The brunch food tasted great as well as the coffee and mimosas. Wait staff was not aware the restaurant had more than plain sugar so my date didn’t get tea. Someone else finally brought out my creamer and sugar for the coffee and that is where we discovered they had more sweetener selections. The coffee took a while to make it to the table. This establishment automatically put in gratuity even for two people.

New favorite restaurant in Atlanta. My waiter was superb. There were four items I would have loved and asked him which one I should go with. He recommended the third cheapest one and said I would not need any $$ sides. And he was right. Grouper was delicious and enough food in total. Wow! I’d be back again tonight but there are no open tables. Make reservations in advance!!
