Another wonderful dinner at our favorite restaurant and we were lucky enough to have Brandy once again be our waitperson. We brought friends from out of state and they loved it. Now we just need Tartufo on the dessert menu!!

I had an amazing time at Divan! I have dined at this establishment several times but this time was different and very memorable. Chavon provided excellent service from beginning to end. She was friendly, attentive, and professional. Her food recommendations for my entree were top tier. I had the Beets Salad and the Duck Confit as my starters. Yum! Harris provided phenomenal service for the Hookah he prepared as apart of our dining experience as well. If you plan to frequent Divan, please ask for Chavon to be your server. She won't disappoint. And Chavon also surprised me with a special birthday dessert that made my day even more magical. 10 out of 10 experience!

What a lovely way to celebrate a birthday! I made our reservation through OpenTable for my dear friend Shelly, who is a pescatarian, so finding a restaurant with wonderful seafood options was a priority. The Big Ketch delivered a delightful evening filled with delicious food, laughter, and genuine hospitality. Our server, Brandon, was fantastic! Warm, personable, attentive, and professional. He made us feel welcome and helped make Shelly’s birthday special. We started with the shrimp and crab au gratin, which was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Shelly also enjoyed oysters. We shared the hot buttered lobster roll, a wonderful indulgence, and I ordered the Green Goddess salad. The salad was fresh and flavorful, although it arrived with what appeared to be feta cheese, which wasn’t listed on the menu. Restaurants should be mindful of disclosing ingredients, particularly for guests with dietary restrictions. My vodka tonic with lime was a bit too strong for my taste, but Shelly happily helped finish it! The highlight was Brandon bringing out a beautiful strawberry shortcake for Shelly’s birthday, charmingly presented in a little glass mason jar. Such a thoughtful touch! A couple of minor misses, but overall, a wonderful evening with excellent service, enjoyable seafood, and plenty of laughter. Brandon deserves special recognition for making our celebration memorable. Life is too short not to eat well! Share a wonderful meal, celebrate the people you love, and find your next great dining experience. Bon appétit!

Sotto Sotto has consistently been my favorite Italian restaurant in Atlanta for years. Ricardo sources the highest quality proteins and every dish is impeccable. Kegan was an amazing bartender and his service was exceptional. Highly recommended!!
