We went to Grana for a casual dinner before visiting the light display at Atlanta Botanical Gardens. The restaurant was fun and spacious, and our server was very good. We enjoyed a meatball flight, which was genius. We shared three pies - a Fibonacci, a Figgy, and a Potato. All of them were delicious and unlike anything we’d had recently. We look forward to dining there again.

Our dinner at Marcel was the best dinner experience I’ve had in 40+ years. The food was excellent but what took it over the top was how hospitable the staff was. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. It was like a family member who wanted to share their food with you. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed just sitting and chatting with ourselves and the staff. They treated everyone like a VIP. I encourage everyone to try Marcel and I’ll gladly recommend it and come back.

We have been coming to Nakato for many years, like 30!! The food & service are always delicious. However, the physical space is in need of a facelift!
