    The food was outstanding. I had lunch and dinner. The truffle omelette at lunch was very good, though served on a plate that was cold. Small portion, could be increased. The dinner was amazing - I had the branzino and it was stupendous. Also the fattoush salad, just fabulous. The Scarlette cocktail, a riff on Aperol spritz, was also excellent. Best of all was my glass of Grenache - one of the finest glasses of wine I have had in years. And reasonably priced. Dinner is not cheap but it is worth every penny. I suggest enlarging the dessert list - but I asked for sorbet nad it was served, despite not being on the menu. The dessert choices are not particularly interesting and they are too heavy after such a rich meal. The room was quiet - note that I had dinner early, the service was excellent. One of the finest dining experiences I have had in the US in a long time.

    Beautiful outdoor space. Very picturesque and quiet despite how close it is to West Peachtree Street. We were the only table on this particular day. The drinks were well balanced. We ordered the fish and grits and peaches and cream French toast as our entrees and were pleased with both.

    The Sunday Brunch Buffet was outstanding. They didn’t have a ton of variety, but everything we ate was delicious. The fruit was fresh. The omelettes were made perfectly to order. The bacon and eggs tasted great. Awesome place for breakfast!
