    I love this restaurant. It is a beautiful space with a great vibe, friendly, knowledgeable staff, great food, and service. It is terrific for everything from a special event to a business dinner. Plus, for Buckhead, the parking cost for valet is very reasonable.

    Be mindful, as a diner/customer to ask what the price of the specials are (if that matters to you). I know a5 wagyu is premium, but I was shocked that a small portion cost more than two steaks, lobster, and sides combined. Everything was delicious, as always, so this little mistake on my part won’t deter me from visiting again.
