Our meal was delicious and attention to every detail was flawless. Our server, bar tender, wait staff were spot on including the young man who wipes spills and brings different utensils between courses - very attentive, polite and impressive. We loved the birthday touch hand-written card with decorated envelope, berry sorbet with candle and the chef’s visit and birthday wishes.

Fia is such a delight. Our waiter, John, was super attentive and we LOVED our food selections! I never expected to be wowed by a wedge salad but here I am to rave about it! My husband could’ve eaten several of the branzinos and the woodfired salmon was incredible! Not to mention the lovely cocktails. DEFINITELY check out Fia if you haven’t already! ❤️❤️❤️

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with dinner at Milton’s. We were seated quickly on the porch, which was a little warm and slightly noisy, but quieter than the bar, which had live music going. Carla was a great server! She was efficient, helpful, and friendly. Carla and the manager had to handle a few issues with other tables around us, but they did so with an openness and kindness that was impressive. Our food was delicious! Rosemary bread and sorghum butter as our appetizer was yummy! Our salads (Caesar and spring harvest) were enormous and delicious. We got steaks for our mains—filet mignon and ribeye (both medium rare, both excellent). Our shareable sides: the broccolini was perfectly charred and wonderful while the buttermilk mashed potatoes were the only disappointment, very plain and bland. Kitchen was a bit slow due to an unexpected crowd in the garden area, but our food arrived at the perfect temperatures and in a lovely presentation. Carla spoiled us with a decadent dessert to celebrate our milestone anniversary—crème brûlée and champagne. It was an absolutely wonderful dining experience!

I go out to wonderful Atlanta restaurants frequently. There is really nothing like a great evening in a fabulous restaurant with terrific food and fantastic service and a dinner companion with whom you love to share. If you are looking for this type of experience, then Joey D's is your place. A delicious filet mignon was my choice, and my brother had the very best prime rib I have ever seen. Andrew, Kaylee and their crew are simply the best. Once you try this great place, you will no doubt return.
