We celebrated my husbands birthday at Le Colonial and it was outstanding! What a unique experience at this lovely restaurant, so perfect for a special occasion. We started out with an exotic Lychee Martini, refreshing and not too sweet. For our appetizer we had the chicken dumplings, so good. As our special occasion birthday dinner, we ordered the whole flash fried red snapper with a spicy/sweet garlic sauce, excellent and plenty for two. The dessert, chocolate cake with rum flambee, a must for a birthday celebration, just made the evening! Special thanks to General Manager, Paul Dunn, and the entire staff for making this such a wonderful night at one of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta!!

First time eating here with family and we were celebrating a birthday! Food was excellent—we ordered all pasta dishes minus one risotto and our garlic bread appetizer was delicious, but we were surprised by the spicy peppers lol our server Abbey was helpful with recommendations and made us feel welcome despite being clearly busy with other several tables! Would definitely revisit No.246
