This is the best restaurant in ATL. The food is spectacular. But what makes this special is the team at Colony Square, led by the GM, Bret. He, himself, is a class act, and then he has put together a team that cares. I have never, in my over 100 visits, ever had an average experience. Kudos to the team.

This is a great spot. Our waitress was not that great, but when I was leaving, even the manager was serving tables and acknowledged that I was leaving.

We had a lovely time, service was great, just the right amount of coverage. We all got pasta dishes, two got the mushroom, one spaghetti and meatballs and I got the bolognese. We were happy with all the dishes. We also got the budino, and if you like chocolate, this hits the mark!

The ambiance is so beautiful. It was exactly what I was looking for for my birthday dinner. The food was top-tier fresh hot, satisfying filling, and the drinks. Let’s just say I came home tipsy topsy-turvy off of one drink, so I highly recommend this establishment.
