    I had such a BEAUTIFUL TIME !! Kyle was an absolute dream. He was very patient me and the person I was with at dinner spent so much time chatting that we constantly forgot to look at the menu and he was very, very very patient gave recommendations, and made sure that we were accommodated for no matter how much we sent him back. I was actually dealing with a break up this day, which sadly was Valentine’s Day and the way that Kyle took care of us I would’ve never even remembered how sad I was before I sat down. If you are thinking about coming to this restaurant, please do and I would highly suggest coming in the evening because the ambience is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. I will be making this someplace that I come often for either date night or to take myself on a solo date I highly recommend coming here.

    I love this restaurant. It is a beautiful space with a great vibe, friendly, knowledgeable staff, great food, and service. It is terrific for everything from a special event to a business dinner. Plus, for Buckhead, the parking cost for valet is very reasonable.

    Friends in town for conference in area. Wanted to go somewhere with outdoor seating and where students wouldn’t be. Great choice. Good wine. Aikel, our server, was awesome! Two of us had the scallops. Very good but only 3. Others had the chicken and they loved it. Someone else had the salmon. Said it was very rich. Try the #15 flight! Very good. The risotto was very good. And try the goat cheese beignets for appetizer. Yum!!!
