Shawn DeinesMay 13, 2015Crab cakes were good but everything was soaked in butter. For a $20+ entree just expected a little more subtlety and differences in flavor. Phenomenal service though, Brian was great!
Yvonne TsuiNovember 15, 2013Try the White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie - And James Beard award-winning too. Base is what I'd call a shortbread crust. Soooo divine!
Atlanta LatinosFebruary 15, 2019Wow! Amazing veal meatloaf with perfectly steamed veggies. We highly recommend this unique dish!
- Atlanta LatinosFebruary 15, 2019Delicious jumbo lump crab cakes with yukon whipped potatoes, asparagus, lemon mustard emulsion.
- Atlanta LatinosFebruary 15, 2019Amazing sticky toffee pudding dessert! We highly recommend this unique sensation!
JAEDON LEEDecember 12, 2014Oh my god. Famous Veal Meatball with Fresh Pasta...winner. I loved their Corn bread a lot before entrée. Little pricy but that worth it to come back.
Andrew FilarSeptember 1, 2018Upscale Diner, expect $15-$30 entree. The Cubano with fries was excellent. Amazing bread and the fries are fire.
Yo DAugust 4, 2012The ribeye was delicious. Melt in your mouth. No steak sauce needed. We sat on stools by chefs and watched them cook.
Terrell SandefurSeptember 1, 2012Try the Maytag Blue Cheese Potato Chips - These things are like crack! Haven't had them in years & wondering why I've been so foolish.
Tia ScottJune 27, 2013Was expecting Waffle House but nicer .. Not even close! It's a really nice place.. The Cobb salad was AWESOME! And the drinks strong with great service.. Will defiantly be back!!
Gregory ColkerFebruary 12, 2014The small kale salad with apple, cranberry and almond was very good for a light-ish lunch.
Ed WardSeptember 10, 2014Terrific place to bring out of town guests. Great menu. Make reservations with OpenTable if possible since line can get long.

Shane EdlerJune 25, 2010This place rocks. You expect it to be like a Denny's diner from the outside, but that immediately goes away the second you walk in the door. Great atmosphere and wait staff. The homemeade chips with b
David DweckFebruary 5, 2014Great food excellent service and is priced on the high side but absolutely worth it- Robert AndrewsMay 1, 2016Chicken and sausage gumbo, sweet thai chili calamari with peppers and peanuts, and tomato soup... yum
StevenFebruary 9, 2014Great gluten-free options on the menu! Having a hard time choosing? The Cobb Salad is excellent!
Dolores LoudermilkJuly 20, 2017Beautiful interior (and exterior) but food just a bit boring and overpriced in the way it is at most Buckhead Life owned restaurants are. They were awesome in the 90s but that was a while ago.
Order the Organic Chicken Sandwich on Pretzel Bread. OMG its the best. Try not to OD on the corn bread before your meal...but you WILL because they are delish!
WILLIE DAVISMarch 15, 2011The veal and wild mushroom is to die for with that nice and thick gravy on those mashed potatoes-YUMMO MAN!!
Kathy GillJune 18, 2011Brunch is only on Sunday, but they will serve you a fried egg, bacon and grits even at lunch on Saturday (Justin is great!)
Erika FiorenzaJuly 6, 2013Try the famous meatballs! Homemade chips, calamari and tomato soup are also awesome.
shrimp and grits! the coffee cake is also delish. Ask for Brian- Yvonne TsuiNovember 15, 2013Try the Original Warm Maytag Blue Cheese Chips - Yummy! Blue cheese gets overwhelming after awhile though.
I love this place but just had a Ceviche that wasn't good. Almost no fish in it. Try something else. Specials are usually great.
LeonJanuary 2, 2012The calamari is Amazing!! So is the veal platter, our grouper sandwich. Bring tip money for the valet. they need to easy too- stephanie s.July 6, 2018Upscale diner with great decor and atmosphere. A little pricey. Food was good but not amazing. Service was not good. Waiter did not get order right and was not very attentive.
Emma RMay 3, 2011Great for brunch - but you should make a reservation! Compulsory comp valet parking when busy.
Bryan RosengrantJuly 25, 2012Heads up, this is not your traditional diner, it's menu is more of an upscale restaurant, entrees costing upwards of 20 dollars a person.
Movies On Paper Studio ProductionsOctober 11, 2011After finishing up from, my world book sign tour. I treat myself to the best dinner in the world. Great food and awesome service in the world!!
