    Cheeseboat is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food. I came here for my birthday and my group ordered the imeruli, the prosciutto cheeseboat, the steak and mushroom cheeseboat, and the Shkmeruli chicken boat, all of which were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. We also ordered cocktails which were very nice, the Motherflower being our unanimous favorite. We also had the white wine sampler, which was a very nice introduction to Georgian wines, and the waiter was very knowledgeable about the wines they had. When we first ordered our drinks, they took a while to arrive but after that the service was at a more regular speed. We were seated at the back in a small alcove with a beautiful mural on the wall. Since it was my birthday, I received a (surprise!) complementary Napoleon which was large enough to share with my group. Overall, I highly recommend Cheeseboat and would absolutely return
