Oliver is an exceptional waiter, warm and friendly, but professional at the same time. The bruschetta was excellent, as was the chicken liver appetizer. I was thrilled that there were anchovies for my Caesar salad, too. We have never been disappointed at Sperata.

Very disorganized took 2 1/2 hours to dine. Food was good not great highly priced and small entree selections.
When presented bill server states our credit card machine is down need cash or Venmo then says I’m sure this was explained to us when reservation was made. And NO it wasn’t disclosed since reserved through Open Table.
I asked for Venmo account they hand write it for me but it’s incorrect and server begins to want to explain how to use Venmo at which point things went downhill rapidly. I use Venmo weekly if they’d given me correct information the 1st time everything would’ve been handed.
Much better options in vicinity.

I had written a negative review about this restaurant because they denied me a table without a reservation, and it was true that they were sold out that particular night. Decided to actually try the foods first:)

The meals were outstanding, flavored right and so tender all the way. Service was impeccable too. Fish of the day was heavenly, the lamb was as delicious as reported and the bread pudding was awesomely great! will come back again. Very soon.

We had a wonderful Easter Meal-the special Easter menu advertised was not available for the $55 per person, but the full menu was available. It is a lovely place for an adult gathering or special date night-I probably wouldn't recommend for young children, but a lot of teens might enjoy it too for a special family occasion.

Waited forever for service. Food was good, not great. Menu had very limited entree choices

Perfect evening again at Sperata. Went for my sons engagement celebration. Started out with mussels and smoked salmon appetizers which were enjoyed by all followed by Sperata salads that were awesome. For the main course I had lamb chops, filet for my son and fish of the day(cod) for the ladies and dessert and coffee afterwards. Service as always was very good.

A lovely dinner with live piano music by Larry the piano master !! Great foods, great company! Great atmosphere!

I had the filet. It was cooked perfectly. The service was exceptional as always. Love the quiet ambience.

Cozy and romantic. Delicious food and cocktails. Piano player. A perfect place for anniversaries and birthdays and date nights.

Oliver was very attentive to our needs throughout our dinner. Our seating was comfortable and it was quiet enough we could easily converse. The food was delicious. We will definitely dine here again!

Piano player was great! Added a lot to the ambience!

Food was delicious. Best dinner we ever had. Server was amazing and the food was about of this world delicious. I gues. It is our new favorite restaurant

We love Sperata. It is our favorite restaurant for the food, service and ambiance. Larry plays great piano, and Oliver serves up the best gin & tonics!

Service was great.

We love the everything about Sperata! Went there fir the first time a month ago and decide to dine there for Valentines Day. Excellent!

The service was ok. The food was good n the price is reasonable.

It was a Great experience! Best fried green tomatoes!

As always, wonderful food and service. Highly recommend.

Food and service was excellent!

Definitely seeming to struggle in all aspects. Use to be a gem.

Everything was absolutely perfect, I look forward to returning and telling everyone how incredible this place is.

We had a nice birthday dinner! Was it perfect? No but everything was handled professionally and to our satisfaction. We would go back!

Second time to Sperata and it was perfect just like the first. It was a nice romantic night out with minimal other guests they don’t overbook and the food was top notch!

Excellent food and service. Our favorite place to celebrate birthdays.

Love this place. Food and service are excellent. Have been going for several years.

Restaurant did not post the evening as a five course $145 pp only meal. Wine list $68-$100 for $20-$40 wines. We were a party of four. None of the wine glasses matched, none matched the wine being served. Drink ordered was not made correctly. Beef Tenderloin was not tender had to have been a choice grade. Someone needs to buy this restaurant it is a great location. I hope they can survive but they have to change. This was my second chance for them. I want be back until ownership changes.

Dining area is small so this keeps the atmosphere quiet and enjoyable. The meals are spot on and their service is among the best.

Always wonderful!

Excellent ambiance, food, service and price. This is one we will go back again without hesitation.

My wife and I are never disappointed with our experience here.

We have a date night once a year at Sperata while we are visiting Lake Lanier every November from Florida. I would drive the ten hours just to enjoy the meal. It’s dark and cozy, the service is wonderful and the food amazing. You cannot go wrong for a special occasion, a date night or a simply great meal each and every time.

Great dinner for daughters 18th birthday- I ordered the lamb chops and they were amazing. My wife had the filet and she really enjoyed it. My daughter got the pork medallions and enjoyed them. Overall a great experience.

Went there on 10/24 and had a very nice evening. Started with escargot appetizer that we shared which was superb. Moved on to house salad that was very good. Wife had filet for entree and myself salmon and after dinner drinks. Larry the piano man added great ambiance to a very nice dinner.

Very professional environment. Our waiter Oliver was amazing and the food is second to none. We will definitely be going back, and I highly recommend Sperata.

Outstanding service and food quality. The meal was cook to perfection and was ready about 15 to 20 minutes after we ordered.

The food is outstanding, but the servers are always short staffed and stressed out. I ask to speak with the owner, but he was unavailable. I emailed him with no response. I do like this restaurant overall, but it is expensive with so-so service, so I likely will not be going back since there are so many nice restaurants in Gwinnett County to choose for now.

This is my go-to for special occasions. The last time was my (hard-of-hearing) father's birthday with two sisters. It was perfect. Oliver is the best; always makes me feel welcome.

Several of our dining party chose the monkfish special and it was fantastic!!!! Several ordered the steak and it was delicious too. Terrific service!

The food here was very delicious. My husband loved the steak, and he is very hard to please when it comes to steak! The piano music was very pretty as well.

The food and service here are stellar. This is our favorite special occasion place. Always a treat.
