    Loved our meal - delicious creamy shrimp and rice and a chicken pasta dish to die for. Seriously, we kept eating beyond when we were full because the flavors were so perfect. This is a family restaurant that feels like home in the best way.

    Outstanding service and food. The daughters of the owner were the bartender and waitress. Both were so friendly and so attentive. We had a special request for a drink and it was made to precision. The friend I dined with said her meal was the best she’s had in Atlanta. I always love my meal.

    We enjoyed the fish entrees, especially the sauces and accompanying starches. However, our tapas eaters were underwhelmed with "crispy" vegetables that were not crispy and ravioli that were very dry. The deck is a great place to dine, and the overall atmosphere is very laid back. Our group of four was evenly split on whether we'd go back - entree-eaters v. tapas- (vegetarian) eaters.
