"Antebellum is one of the 100 best restaurants in the USA on Open Table and I'm here to say it's well deserved. DH took me here for my birthday today and everything was amazing. Service was wonderful and our waiter was both informative and enthusiastic about the menu. The restaurant is a converted older south house and unique. We started with the free maize bread and green tomato jam (hot and fresh, very good) and then we had the baked Brie appetizer. I love baked Brie en croute anyway, but that was the next stage with the port wine reduction. Between apps and entrees we had a beautiful little butter salad with goat cheese and lemon vinaigrette, which was refreshing and tasteful. DH had escaped the halibut. He said that it was perfectly and really tasty cooked, but the spiced popcorn found a bit of a failure with the textures on the plate. I had the braided bovine bolognese and no exaggeration, it was the best Bolognese I ever had (and I had some good Bolognese). It was rich, comforting, so many layers of taste. The house made Gnocchi really supplemented the sauce and brat beef and the pepadews and goat cheese took it to the next level. DH liked it better than his halibut. For Dessert we had the sticky cake and I thought I was too full to enjoy it, but it was so amazing that I found room for it. Absolutely a must try. When it was my birthday, they also brought me a warm chic cookie with ice and an illuminated candle. Nice touch. Ambience, service and food were stellar. My most sincere compliments to the cook and the staff."

"I really wanted to like this place. The description is a hip place on the lake with a deck, live entertainment, good food and good drinks. I’ve traveled all over looking for these type places, and there are some awesome waterfront party palaces designed to guarantee a good time; Fish Tales is not one of those places. It has the potential, but incompetence and mediocrity ruin it. The service We waited over an hour to get in. We met our waiter when we were seated, and then he disappeared. Any time we wanted anything we had to ask another wait staff member to please hunt down the jerk. The Food and beverages I be never worked in a restaurant, so I am completely perplexed as to how on dish of food it has some pieces that are scathing hot, while other pieces are hardly thawed out. Are the dishes supposedly deep fried or grilled, or are they really microwaved or boiled in a bag? Also when you walk up to the restaurant the air is devoid of the smell of anything being grilled! Regarding drinks avoid the draft beer. $9 for a regular size draft that was both warm and flat. The beer was so pukey I quit after 2 (if I was smart I should have left after 1). The Entertainment this place is a cash cow sitting on the shore of Lake Lanier. It should be able to afford some outrageous entertainment. WTF we ended up Barney Fife playing an acoustic guitar, and even though he was plugged in, you couldn’t hear him more than 30 feet from the stage (which may actually have been a good thing seeing as he was playing elevator ballads). In summary this is a dynamite location for what should be one of the most memorable places in Georgia, but it fails in every way."

"This place is incredible! If you want really good, old world down home Italian dinners and pizza, you have to check this place out! I’m from NY, trust me when I tell you I know good Italian food. They literally have the best egg plant parm dinner I have ever tasted, also the their chicken parm dinner is ridiculous as well. also, the best that I’ve ever had. Their meats are always fresh nothing frozen. Their mutzarella and sauce all done on the premises. I was so impressed that I requested to speak to the owner, he hurried over with a look like he was concerned that I may have no like my food or something. I commenced to tell him that his eggplant was the best I ever had. He was so humbled. The food is always what keeps you coming back in general. But the family, that’s a whole nutha level! The owner Vinny is amazing! He’ll come out from behind the counter and greet you, stay with you a while talking to you. Their staff is super friendly. The thing is they treat you like you came over their home for dinner. When the owner isn’t running this location he’s running the other. In that case, their daughter runs the place and guess what? She’s at the door greeting you as you come in. “Welcome to my dads place!” I sat there (nosey) while she carried on an amazing conversation about her great grandparents. How they got to Ellis Island with nothing and did what they do best. Cook great Italian food. People, this place is truly a gem! Let’s support this family! Today, people don’t even wanna work. They are pulling through these hard times like troopers! At times with no profit for weeks. Let’s support this place. You won’t be dissatisfied I promise you. Even when the couple did leave, she came over to me and started talking to me. I loved it! You don’t see this kind of service anymore. What it is, it’s integrity, hardwork and gratitude for what her parents have created. I’m there atleast every other week. Enjoy, Vinny’s is a class act! Try the eggplant or their chicken parm dinner. I promise you, it will be one of the best you’ve had. If not the best! And yes, that’s Vinny thanking all his customers."
