    The Crispy Cheese Sandwich is a blend of Gruyereformal blanc and jack cheeses on two slices of brioche with avocado topped with a fried egg. It’s decadent and you may need a nap afterwards. Read more

    Cocktails, ceviche and smoothened pork chops were delicious! Chicken and biscuits not so much. Service was perfect and outside terrace was the cherry on the cake!

    Great ambiance: “lively” describes it well. Food is truly great, there’s nothing in the menu that can go wrong. Good drink selection too. Service is top notch, it rarely gets this good. Enjoy!

    Get in the know...ask for their off-the-menu burger: 50% brisket, 50% top round, and topped with Thousand Island, caramelized onions, B & B pickles, and a grilled cheese gratin. Read more

    A quiet oasis in the hustle and bustle of Lenox Square. A farm to table concept with daily changes to the menu. Great selections. We sat outside under the trees and had a delightful dining experience.

    We came here for drinks. It's a great bar if you're into unique hand-crafted cocktails. Drinks like I've never seen before, yet the staff/atmosphere is very down to earth. I would recommend if in ATL

    The fried okra appetizer was awesome. Had the mussels which says it is a "small plate" but is huge. Chris was an excellent waiter. Suggested a white wine and it was an awesome pairing. Great people.

    Hidden in a corner at Lenox Mall this restaurant is one of my favorites in Buckhead with romantic outside seeting. Without fail I order the secret burger - one of the best in Atlanta.

    Secret burger has bacon, Russian dressing, pickles, and a pretzel bun. Request changes if you're not into some of the ingredients.

    Mortadella mousse at Seven Lamps — it’s mouse, it’s sausage, it’s sausage-mouse and it’s one of CL’s 100 dishes to eat before you die. Read more

    The spinach cheese crepes are amazing!!!!! Highly recommend checking this place out. Nothing like it in Buckhead - you used to have to go to Midtown, Westside, etc. for a restaurant scene like this

    Affordable, excellent portion sizes and delicious food. They're also great about food allergies. Try the fries and Brussels sprouts!

    Was tasty, but I didn’t love the menu. Got the off-menu burger and the breakfast of champions drink (which is better for an after dinner drink but extremely delicious.)

    I'm not a fan of the Chocolate Cremeux, BUT! That was my mistake because the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich is definitely the desert to order from here. W/ a shot of D'usse to wash it down with.

    Lobster roll is to die for, and a steal at $11. We also loved the cottage fries - great seasoning.

    The burger (which is not in the menu) is great. If you are looking for a quick lunch, you might want to consider another alternative. I mean is not horrible, but in a hurry it feels like forever.

    The "50/50" Burger is a MUST. Sit outside, drink a beer, and enjoy the atmosphere.

    Mussels are great; get extra bread! Bartender will make a custom drink to your tastes.
