    The restaurant was empty on a Friday night which is usually a red flag, especially since it is located in busy downtown Atlanta. The menu was "ok" nothing fantastic. Food was very bland and not hot. I will not be returning to this restaurant. Pass on this one.

    Pros: They were fast, our food was out so quickly we were shocked. The food was reasonably good but not remarkable. Cons: They automatically added a gratuity. They asked if we wanted chips and salsa for the table (which we didn't know we were going to be charged for--but apparently those are not complimentary). Then they told us our bill amount but did not provide a receipt--and I'm fairly certain we were over-charged for something. But we went during Dragon Con, so they probably upped their prices for that. Overall, I'd go again if there was nowhere else. But it was definitely not worth what we paid.

    Ok. They had an event had to sit outside. No prior notification so we stayed. Loud music and event people cursing everywhere.

    The place was great but once crowded it got noisy. The server was fantastic and our food came promptly.

    I took a group of 9 for a business lunch. Food was delicious. It was so close to the Atlanta Marriott Marquis where we were staying, which was one of the reasons we chose it. They had vegetarian options for those who wanted that, and everyone loved the food. Server was not too attentive for a Monday lunch when the restaurant wasn't full.

    We had reservations for 4. The doors were locked. The sign said they were open and there were workers inside but they ignored us. We tried calling too but no one answered. We ended up going elsewhere.

    The website is very deceiving. The drinks were not good and the food was just mediocre. The layout is not the best but that could be because of location. I can definitely say that I or we will not return back.
