    We had a lovely pre-show dinner/ date night at this restaurant, and it was fabulous. Our waiter James was phenomenal, charismatic, and didn't miss a beat. He was informative about the cocktail and dinner menu. Our cocktails were fantastic, romaine salad was delicious, and the lobster tails were spectacular. The dessert was tasty. We didn't feel rushed at all, but James kept us on pace so that we had time to get back to our hotel and change before our concert. The manager and all of the staff was courteous as well. Beautiful experience, and we would definitely return.

    Had dinner with friends during a week-long business meeting and we all had a fantastic time! Service was great, drink options were excellent, and the food was delicious! Very busy Wednesday night, so clearly a hot spot in ATL - beautiful venue with elegant decor as well! Highly recommend!

    The Ambiance was amazing; however, the food was not that great. My husband had the “off the grill” lamb chops and I had the lamb chops lollipops. BOTH were tough as tires to say the least. I was also given 6 half Brussel sprouts as my side. Lol. So, Two alcoholic beverages, hard to chew lamb chops, 6 half slices of Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, and a basket of buttermilk muffins was NOT worth the money spent. Very disappointing.

    They didn’t pay attention to any of the notes. I asked for a romantic secluded booth and was given a table in the middle of the restaurant and it was only 3 other tables seated. They totally ignored the birthday note for my boyfriend’s birthday as well. The waitress was very nonchalant, rude, and not personable at all the entire visit. Felt like all she wanted was the tip, could careless about the service she gave. I won’t be returning to this restaurant. Too many other restaurants to try

    The dress code is business casual but people are dressed casual. The steak was tough and over cooked. The red velvet cake was so dry. The mashed potatoes were unseasoned. The server was kind but swamped and evident by how little we saw him.

    Wonderful service. Beautiful restaurant. Serene, quiet, elegant. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was just ok. Eggs a bit dry. No rye toast. My husband was disappointed with the lemon, blueberry, ricotta pancakes which is why we ate breakfast there. Very gritty texture. The blueberries need strained. Good coffee.

    Unfortunate experience. 8:30 reservation (almost made it for 9pm- thank goodness we didn’t- shouldn’t offer them!) we were rushed the whole time yet service was so slow. We were mid entree and our server asked if she could bring the check (it was only 9:30). Then, ten minutes later came to do last call. Expecting someone to finish a meal in under and hour and a half is pushing it. Did not like the rushed feeling. Wine came after appetizers, dinner came before steak knives on table, no dessert or coffee offered. Won’t return. Can’t believe Hilton brand standards allow this

    We booked ahead for Sunday brunch for 4 and the hostess & manager greeted us warmly & led us to a lovely booth which allowed our group to talk privately. The server Irish couldn’t have been lovelier & she brought us chilled & delicious mimosas right away. We were so engaged in conversation Irish came 2-3 times to take our brunch order before we were ready & she was wonderful about it. All of us got something different & all of our meals were scrumptious! Definitely would recommend this terrific restaurant especially if you are staying at the adjacent Candler Hotel. PS They even validated our guests’ valet ticket at the restaurant!

    Such a beautiful restaurant but overpriced for lunch. I added a grilled chicken breast to my wonderful salad and it was $10 more. I don’t mind spending money on lunch but in my opinion that was ridiculous… unless it was marinated in 100 year old soy sauce… which it was not! Service was slow to refill our water glasses on a very hot Summer day in Atlanta in a restaurant that was not nearly busy.

    I hosted my colleagues there for lunch in the middle of the week. The food came out quickly. However, service was a little slow, possibly due to the fact that not many people were eating lunch during that time I would definitely continue to bring clients to this restaurant in the future.
