    We wanted to sit on the beltline to just enjoy the scenery while enjoying great food. This was the perfect place. Our waiter was amazing. He gave great suggestions of things to try on the menu. When it started raining heavy the manager came out to check on everyone to make sure we were ok. The area was covered & we didn’t want to move but we appreciated him coming to check on us. I highly recommend this place.

    We love to visit 246 on special occasions. Last year we celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic time. Just yesterday, we celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday. 246 did not disappoint! We had a lovely evening! The staff was attentive and pleasant! The food was delicious! I wish the tables were a bit larger and that there was more light in the restrooms, but everything else was fabulous!
