They were out of many dishes so I settled for a cheeseburger. I was told they cannot use any of the real cheeses in the kitchen and I would have to settle for either American or nothing. Most of the food that was served was also over-salted.

For a very nice restaurant inside of a tourist attraction in ATL we thought the prices were good. For two apps that were filling enough to be dinner and two glasses of good wine we were under $100 with tip.

I hate to say this but this year would probably be the last time-unless there is a menu change. This is no reflection on our wonderful server-she was excellent. To put it plainly-the food has become really weird. And it tasted weird to match the menu choices. With the exception of the harvest salad, there was not another appealling item listed. I had the LongLeaf cheesburger which turned out to be salty over cooked and did not taste like beef. For a 10$ upcharge, I could choose another vegetable as a substitute for the fries. I opted not to have the fries that it came with or another veggie. My friend had the Harvest Salad with salmon added. The salmon also tasted weird which could not even be remedied with teh squeeze of a lemon slice. Trust me, we tried. Please stop trying to do such over the top fancy food-have some basic items on the menu as there have been in the past. This experience was a sad disappointment.

Everything was deliberate and well executed. Bold flavors and thoughtful presentation. Met the chef and front of house manager…both women are dedicated and gems of the industry. As a retired fine dining chef, this experience was top tier. Will be back with family and friends.
