Every dish we were served was outstanding from the appetizers, to the entrees and sides, to the dessert. Truly excellent flavors. The place was pretty full on a Monday night which tells you they're doing something right. I would definitely go back. The server did a nice job until it came time for us to get a check and pay. Normally businesses are happy to take your money, but this was a chore. No big deal, but they should attend to this.

We love the Sandy Springs location and we were excited to try this one. As always, the food and the service were excellent. Our only complaint, however, is that we were a party of two and were seated at a tiny table that made it nearly impossible for food and drinks to fit. We had to shed some drinks and apps before we were done to allow room for the main course. Otherwise, a great experience.
