Restaurants near Shepherd Center

End of the week connection time for wifey and I over dinner at The Optimist was perfect. The ambiance, food, and the personableness of our server were all aligned for a great night out.

This was my last day coming to Atlanta and I’m so glad I chose this restaurant to end the night with I ordered the farm house burger. It was so good from a rate from 1-15 I would say it’s a 11. I say that because I put fried hard egg on it. Now I have to come back and try again and more . The service was really good. I will comeback.

Always a pleasure to eat at Rumi’s but they seem to charge for every little thing you ask for, toppings or sauce is always an extra charge, EHY????

Had a reservation and got there 15 minutes earlier and they were able to kindly seat us. Place is gorgeous and ambiance was warm. Bri took care of us and was spectacular, super patient, attentive and thorough on explaining the menu to us. Food was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Don’t skip the soft serve with olive oil, it was incredible!

We sat outside for 20 minutes before being greeted by server and it was not crowded on R&B Thursdays. Happy hour wings were tiny but tasty and the happy hour drinks were watered down. The jollof rice was tasty. We will try again and order from the regular menu to compare the quality of food. The place is nicely decorated. Will return and sit inside.
