"not a good culinary experience in any case. the only reason why I would give this place even 2 stars for our “fine dining room” experience is because our server michele was wonderful and the desserts were very good. we arrived early and had checked early, and they had said it would have been a few minutes, 20 minutes later our reservation time came and then no text after we had waited for an extended 15 minutes after our scheduled reservation time. after going and mentioning they had not given us a reason why, then we sat up on the balcony from which we were receptive until we had waited 20 minutes. we then had to get up to tell the hostess that we were not even greeted or even given by a hostessin/hotsin water/bread. the host/hostess gave no reason why others say: "oh their server may not have seen them" when we returned outside our seats, our server michele came by and she was very apologetic and had let us know that nobody made them aware that we were even there. for a fine dining room with higher trips the customer service was extremely lacking and eating was bland, meals were also small, especially in comparison to how large the desserts were. I think, above all, I am very disappointed and annoyed that no one (manager/head boss/hossins) has come to apologize or try to correct their mistakes by perhaps desserting or compposing our drinks. we will definitely not be back or recommend this facility. very excited for our night from fine eating on holiday that this was our experience. we understand that the world is short-occupied, but it lacked communication and accountability for such a high-priced/valued facility. this could have been easily avoided or at least put on."

"I and the woman were in Atlanta for a concert and were looking for vegan food near our hotel. The place was the only one in the area so we decided to check it. We go in and are greeted by the very friendly lady at the counter. She asks about us and where we are from, and deals with a really pleasant conversation. We order the Bbq sand, the grilled chicken sandwich, the Pommes frites and the Mac and cheese. There are no tables at the place, but their is a long wooden bench attached to a wall to wait for guests who was really the only negative, but the experience was amazing so I won't pull out a star. We get pink lemonade and the sweet tea from the self-service drink station, it was a little sweet for our taste buds but I thought the taste was still really good. The food comes out in time and we get our food in a brown paper bag, and the optimistic front cahsier informs us that it is ok to eat on the bank. We dig in and are immediately overwhelmed how good our sandwiches are. Everything is incredibly fresh and the flavors were strong and tasty. The Mac and cheese is unique as it looked and tasted as it was grilled, which was a welcome taste. The Pommes Frites were well done and exactly what you want from fried pimples. We buy an Eclair Desert Mug on the way out and eat it back in our hotel and it was in line with the rest of the food, as it was just incredible. For anyone who thinks about food here: The food is amazing. If you don't mind taking it either to eat outside on the bench or in the lawn area, then you are overwhelmed by the aromas. For the owners and employees: I don't know why there are no tables, but if you remove the bank and put some tables in the house, the place would be perfect, but as I said, the food was so good that the establishment was still worthy of the 5 stars."

"My co-worker and I arrived for a meal on a Saturday evening.I went to use the restroom and discovered that it was dirty and in need of cleaning. There were also some used paper towels on the floor next to the trash can.I returned to the dining area and saw my co-worker seated at a table across the way. As I made my way to the table, I was impressed by the floor plan, particularly the open view to the kitchen. I also noted that several tables had been cleared but that crumbs were left on the table. I was surprised to see an ink refill for a pen laying on the floor next to the piano. The piano was covered in dust.It appeared that there were around five or six employees on duty and there were only a handful of tables in use; the restaurant was not very busy.Our server arrived and my co-worker asked him about the piano. The server responded with a comment regarding male genitalia, as a poor and tasteless attempt to infuse humor into his answer. My co-worker and I were aghast at the answer. Apparently, the server thought that we didn’t hear him after our stunned silence, so he repeated himself. My co-worker advised him that his joke was understood.If I was there by myself or with my wife, I would have gotten up immediately and left the establishment.My co-worker ordered the prosciutto bites. They were amazing and a definite must have if you order anything…! The pizza was served hot and was very delicious…! I loved the pizza was thin crust and appeared to be hand-tossed. The presentation of the pizza was excellent.Upon completing our meal, we waited for some time to get the check delivered to us. We continued to wait for the server to return to process the payment. Eventually I had to go looking for the server and tell him that we were ready to pay.I used the restroom again only to discover that it was in a slightly deteriorated state and it had not been cleaned despite having more than enough hands on deck that night. The discarded paper towels were still on the floor next to the trash can.The only reason I am giving two stars is for the food, which was amazing…!The cleanliness was poor and the service actually provided a negative rating…"
