    Food was not impressive, as i had expected. It seems too high $ for the quality of food gotten. Glass of champagne was definitely over priced.

    Beautiful space. We were warmly welcomed by Grayson and Kim. It took a few minutes to get them to set up our table. I think at the last minute our server was changed, and our server appeared to be fairly new. She was pleasant, but didn’t seem Too knowledgeable about the dishes. She informed us immediately that there would be a long wait for cocktails. When they arrived, the cocktails were delicious, especially the cucumber lime gimlet. Buttermilk muffins were delicious as were the lamb shank and shrimp and grits. The salmon was a little overcooked. Biggest disappointment was the Candler salad - description said it had peaches, but we were shocked to see that when the salads arrived, they were canned cling peaches! Not what you expect for an upscale restaurant.  we will give it another try, perhaps for brunch. We were disappointed that the service was subpar, considering that all the reviews raved about the service levels.

    It was just OK. The old classic architecture was impressive, but the decor, furnishings, lighting, and colors were all incoherent and mismatched. It needs a complete makeover to highlight the original architecture and marble. The food was just as mismatched as the decor. Some of it was excellent. Some of it was bland. The most disturbing experience was the smell. It smelled like a men's locker room and completely unappetizing. The place and food could be so much more that it was. I won't go back until I've heard it's had a complete makeover. Avoid in the meantime.
