Great dining treasure tucked away in the heart of Marietta square. This quaint and elegant dining experience is one to enjoy. Between the seasonal menu of rich and decadent food, you are also presented with a wealth of knowledge in wine/food pairings from a service staff that truly appreciate the importance of taste, attention to detail, and punctuality. My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed with any of the meal, wines, or dessert. Highly recommend this fine dining experience for anyone who wants an experience rather than a turn and burn table pusher restaurant. We will definitely be revisiting this establishment.
Aw man, I really wanted this to be 5 stars but boy was I disappointed.Specifically to the reviewer gloating about having eatin at Alain Ducasse, Guy Savoy, French Laundry, etc... and comparing it here... really?? I don't think I was ever served plain peas and carrots at places similar to those, and certainly not in any brassieries.MAN ugh, I wanted to like this place so bad, but everything was off. We ordered both snacks, all 3 starters, and the lamb and halibut entrees. Trying restaurants is a hobby of mine and one that I'm easily able to afford with my current job, so I'd like to give my full opinion here so that someone who may be saving up for a meal like this can get the full picture before going.Snacks:Oysters were the best part but they weren't better than kimball house and technically cost more. White asperagus felt very premade, at least within the restaurant but the asperagus was cold while hollandaise was warm and tasted more like homemade mayo... although not totally a complaint.Starters:This was probably the best part but still left us underwhelmed. Salmon crudo was the best of the 3, but left much to be desired. Burrata and beets were pleasant tasting but difficult to eat. Same with the foie gras. Actually we found most things difficult to eat which was really frustrating. Made it seem like they didn't know what they're doing although pictures from previous menus seemed much better constructed. (Compare my picture of the foie gras to the others posted - big difference)Entrees:We were holding our breath on giving an opinion until we got the entrees, but once we did, woof. Halibut was cooked well but the dish was a bit basic. Somewhat enjoyable until you remember what you paid. The lamb though... no no no no... you can't just serve mildly seasoned lamb with peas, carrots, a teaspoon of carrot puree and then sprinkle mint everywhere, and the added bits of gristle really capped off the experience. Made absolutely no sense as we're not masters of lamb but could definitely cook this better at home.Desserts:We didn't order dessert mostly because the entrees were so disappointing, but also because after the entrees, nobody came to our table for what felt like 20-30 min while the guests next to us (we overheard one of them used to work here) were visiting with the people working. This normally wouldn't bother me but they basically left us to sulk in our disappointment while we listened to that same girl loudly laughing about how her boyfriend locked her in a bathroom? Dump him, girl. Also pay your check and leave lol.Overall, I'm sorry I have to write this review, but I find it offensive that they charge these prices - prices that well exceed that of Ticonderoga and Kimball House but markedly worse in all aspects.I live in Atlanta, but grew up in Lilburn where we have 2 similar establishments, Three Blind Mice and 1910 Public House. Similar concepts but tastier meals and cheaper (24-32 per entree). Counting my blessings.I'm SO confused by the other reviews. Our favorite, if not the oysters, was the bread they served with salted onion butter. There's a serious issue with proportioning the plates. Not enough sauce or puree on all dishes that came with it. Auxilliary ingredients required cutting to make sure they were spread out across the dish - especially annoying when you're given 4 walnuts to divide across 2 pieces of toast (for foie gras). Even the menu details were not exciting and you could feel the lack of enthusiasm in conceptualizing these dishes when recieving lamb with a mound of peas and carrots. I'm not paying 45 dollars for a meal I would make at home and still be underwhelmed by. Will not be back.P.S. with no cocktails and only 3 non-alcoholic beers, it makes our decision that much easier not to returnIf you are looking to spend this amount of money for a holistic food experience check out the below:-Lyla Lila-Kimball House-Ticonderoga Club-Southern Belle-Banshee-Gato/Gigi's
This spot has the wow factor. Staff was some of the best I have had since before COVID. Owner was out on the floor working and checking on his customers. Our food was so fresh and creative. Hats off to the chef and his staff. All around wonderful experience. Only downside is there is 0 parking. Leave early so you can find a spot. We will be back every 3 months for the seasonal menu change.?
The best food I have ever eaten in my life. Flavor profiles were amazing and unexpectedly good. I wish i could afford to eat here more often. If you have the chance get a reservation usually a couple weeks in advance and try it out.
Only been here a couple or three times over the years, I suppose because it is so hard to get a table and Im a last minute type of guy. The food and service were absolutely amazing. I loved the oysters, the chicken pate/pistachio was to die for, the sunchoke soup stupendous, and the lobster with butternut squash and pasta was perfection. I will be making plans ahead of time to visit Spring more often. The small intimate space ensure the highest quality of food found anywhere in Atlanta.
Amazing! Beef carpaccio was the best I've ever had! Incredible dining experience.
Intimate and relaxed space. Excellent atmosphere. Front of house recommended an excellent wine based on my typical preferences. Food was exceptional; a level of complexity that doesn’t distract from the incredible quality of the ingredients. Friendly and personable service. 11/10 will return.
One of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. Expect to pay $50-$100 a head. But it is worth every dollar. Perfect for small occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.
I enjoyed the venison and truffle soup! Was a discreet and romantic moment in the Marietta Square, kind of hidden. Service was great the waiters were friendly, and when it was close to closing time my date and I were still enjoying out meal and they patiently waited for us to finish. Would recommend you to have a date night here too
Great dinner and fantastic service! I really enjoyed the selection of half bottles of wine. The meal was fantastic too.
