"The tables are quite small and positioned closely together, which creates a noisy ambiance. I found myself occasionally leaning toward my companions to hear them, as another table was just 2 to 3 feet away. I'm a big fan of good bread—the kind that's worth the carbs—and when a restaurant pays attention to quality bread, it bodes well for the meal. This place served really good bread to start. The butter was perfectly soft at room temperature. The octopus was above average but didn’t stand out. My friend enjoyed the bone marrow, while I found the croquettes to be better than what I've had at most places, despite not being a croquettes fan. The sea bass, however, was excellent. My friends seemed pleased with their desserts. The wine selection was interesting; they seemed to have a good variety, but for some reason, my Sauvignon Blanc tasted sweet, which left me perplexed. If you're familiar with wines, you might understand the confusion. I even wondered if I was served the wrong glass. I wrapped up the evening with a 12-year-old Japanese whiskey served over a block of ice. Our waiter was a nice guy who made an effort, though his timing was a bit off at first and he came across as somewhat impatient. Overall, though, he did well. The main reason I can't give this place five stars is that the evening started off on a sour note due to the service; this became the first topic of discussion at our table. For instance, when I arrived, the host at the front desk basically said, "They're over there; just keep walking and you'll find them." When I sat down, my friends also remarked on how dismissive he was when they made their table request. Although the restaurant was busy that evening, it wasn't full, and there were plenty of available tables. I'm looking forward to returning to try the outdoor space. I believe that if management could enhance their service quality, this could become one of the best restaurants in Atlanta at this price point."

"I frequently order out from here. The food is always good and exceptional. Kudos to the chefs, cooks and kitchen. The staff, the face of the restaurant, is incredibly rude. Perhaps it’s because I order out. I order about 2-3x a month for the past year (subs, pizza, main dishes, appetizers, etc. and maybe once, I’ll be greeted nicely. Mainly and always ignored by any female, servers, and supervisors in a tie, that stand behind the kiosks gossiping about their tables and dancing, walking around customers waiting for help. They pass judgement on appearance from the experience I’ve had. Not only to me, my other person refuses to walk in there to pick up because of his experience with the face of the restaurant. The gestures they made towards him was unacceptable. I write this because of my most recent experience I had on Feb 14, 2025 was actually ridiculous. The 2-3 Female servers, (2blonde, 1brunette and short supervisor (in purple standing behind the front kiosks avoided eye contact until they finished their conversation, giggling. I am only trying to pick up my order and I was interrupting them to help me, which they didn’t. Someone else did. I assume the owners of this establishment is aware of how there employees act and the lack of care to allow unprofessionalism is truly questionable. I get having fun and joking around but not in front of customers, especially speaking about other customers publicly and during busiest hours."
