"My gf and I just ate at this restaurant and the customer service we received from Silvia was lackluster at best. The moment we walked in her energy wasn’t inviting and she was the greeter. Once my gf received her salad she noticed the amount of fish she received was smaller than usual. We’ve eaten here plenty of times, so she brought it up to our waiter who relayed the message to his manager Silvia. Silvia came out to address our concern, but my gf felt as if Silvia was brushing her off and didn’t seem to care about what she had to say. I watched this lady’s body language and her facial expression the entire time and I interpreted it as “you can hurry up now because I really don’t care”. We were not rude even after she acted insensitive and insincere. I ended up speaking to her one on one to voice my concern, but she only deflected by saying “I’m sorry she felt this way.” Based on the reviews I just read, my observation of this lady was correct. I’m a military veteran who happen to be Black. My gf is also Black and she gives so much back to Decatur and the kids as a boxing instructor. I cannot imply she’s racist, but I’ve read several reviews by previous Black customers that stated she came off as racist. I will no longer support this business."

"Scout was a delightful place with the feel of an old campground dining hall. Plenty of outside dining with grass for the kids to play on safely. The inside had long tables like a camp plus smaller ones if you were not a large group. Our appetizer was pretzel bites with a flavorful dipping cheese and I had a Happy Camper cocktail that was basically bourbon and ginger beer with some exotic liquors added. It was a great balance of sweet and sour. We both ordered salads…Atlanta Beets, which had sliced baby beets and microgreens plus a seasoned goat cheese on top with delicious aioli…Spinach Salad was delicious, as well as the beet salad. We added flame grilled chicken breasts to both which was loaded with cookout flavor. All in all a delightful, relaxing evening with great food!"

"This place may not be ideal for those who are uncomfortable in non-vegetarian restaurants. There is a long list of meat sandwiches served. Still, the quality and selection of vegan desserts were amazing. There is a dessert case devoted exclusively to vegan cakes (about 6-8 choices), and I found it hard to choose. I went with the raspberry chocolate mousse cake, and was glad I did. It's shocking that a place that's not exclusively vegan can do such a great job; the cake was fresh, light, smooth, and perfect. It had no overly sugary or fatty taste or texture, as some novice attempts at vegan desserts tend to have. I've never had a better vegan dessert in any bakery or restaurant, after fifteen years of being vegan. For an entree of sorts, the only real option is the hummus and veggie sandwich (called Eat Your Veggies), which good and served on excellent, fresh bread, although for non-vegans there is a veggie cheeseburger."

"This is such a chic spot with many seafood options set in a remodeled older house in Decatur. Very upscale, gourmet options and the price tag that fits it. They have lots of oyster options (raw, grilled, etc), beef tartare which was raved about but we didn't get, snapper tartare (essentially snapper sushi with yummy citrus? Sauce and micro green/kumquat citrus topping), amongst other yummy starters. The cocktails are delish! My partner got the whiskey smash which springy didn't taste like whiskey but instead more of a guava tasting tropical drink (yummy)! We got the grilled oysters and snapper tartare for apps and enjoyed both of them. Next time, I'd want to try the beef tartare but the grilled oysters were excellent. I got the Mezzaluna (mushroom half moon ravioli) surrounded with many, different maroons and a wine tasting mushroom sauce. Definitely get only if you love mushrooms, because there are many! It was yummy but id probably choose the Snapper entree item in the future. The snapper entree was perfectly cooked and tender, very well seasoned with melt in your mouth creamy risotto excellent. Parking is on the street, a very small lot (full), or a parking garage which you must pay ahead for. It was an elevated dining experience that I will come back for a fancy/celebratory dinner option!"

"We dined on a Saturday night before a show and the place was busy, but a reservation allowed us to be quickly seated. Ordered drinks from the bar and were also served quickly. Hubs got the short rib said it was good but not what he expected. Was hoping for great, though portion size was large with a side of mashed potatoes and all the peas one could want. I ordered filet, cooked perfectly as ordered with a side of broccoli. They have you check your steak before leaving to ensure accuracy always have mixed feelings on this though it was perfectly cooked and delicious. The service was casual yet perfect in approach. Kali was our server and she was spot on with what we needed. Plus, a few others dropped in and it showcased a good teamwork approach. Simple in design, it was a casual steakhouse which was just what we were looking for. Live music helped the ambience without it being too loud to hear each other across the table."
