Best Historic Restaurants in Decatur

I went twice in one week because I like this restaurant THAT much as a GF food lover. Jules was my server both times and is such a welcoming and warm person. She even remembered me and that I was GF! My favorite items are: -burger (even though  they are known for their top us, the burger cannot be beat, and the gluten-free bun is one of the best I have ever had! -octopus/pulpo (probably my favorite tapas! Octopus cooked incorrectly as a gummy nightmare, but this dish could not have been made better in my opinion!) -broccolini (the crema it comes with his so refreshing and light) -branding (crispy fish and great crispy veggies on the side) -patatas bravas (ALWAYS a fav!) -mushroom flatbread (very very heavy on the cheese and lighter on the mushroom, but still good. The gluten-free flatbread exceeded expectations.) The almond cake with olive oil gelato is fantastic as well.

It’s a fine dining experience here at Tiny Lou’s. I came here from western Massachusetts where French cuisine is tough to find. From the espresso martini to the glorious halibut, exquisite! A must visit for local Atlanta residents.

The food and service are always great. It can be a bit loud and for older people, difficult to hear conversations. It’s $$$ but most restaurants today feel way more expensive than 2 years ago so probably just par for the course.

The food was undeniably good, with dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful. However, the experience felt rushed, as the courses arrived almost immediately after one another, leaving little time to savor each dish. Additionally, the ambiance was less than ideal due to the constant opening of the door to the outside, which brought in unwelcome drafts and made it difficult to relax. A bit more attention to pacing and temperature control would elevate the dining experience significantly.

Took the holiday cocktail making class and had a GREAT time. Learned a lot more than I thought I would. Class was interactive and fun! The drinks we made were very tasty also.
