    Great variety and everything was excellent. The best polpo I’ve had, great fresh pasta choices, especially the lobster risotto, and all the entrees and sides we tried were equally as good. Extensive wine list and fantastic service. My new favorite in Atlanta. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I did the seven-course tasting menu at the counter and it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Each plate on its own was amazing and had a variety of flavors and textures, but there was such a diverse mix of flavor combinations across the whole meal. Chef Jared and his staff were exceptional and very friendly and stopped to chat and explain the different components throughout the meal. We enjoyed the fact that it felt like an upscale restaurant but was also comfortable without the stuffy vibe. Chef Jared stopped by at the end to wish my wife a happy birthday and gave her a handwritten card. I can’t recommend this place enough and we’ll be sure to be back soon.
