    Had the valentine prix fixe menu - was excellent and the wine pairings were well matched. The salad starter had pink lettuce, the scallops had pomegrantes in the sauce, and the black forest cake was heart shaped with cherries, emphasizing the Valentine theme. The noise level was reasonable - could talk and hear without raising our voices but we could hear other tables.

    The hosts was rude and did not go in order of people that came in. Waited 15 minutes until 10 pm for my reservations. A couple came in two minutes before 10 was seated at the table before others that was waiting patiently. I ask was it some kind of order or something. She cut me off and said oh well what your name. Shocked I told her my name and she stated you can come on ,turn to the waiter who was shocked aswell to seat us. Being my first time there was very surprised with the level of customer service our But the waiter was very nice and he apologize for the inconvenience.

    We were in Atlanta for a cheer competition and decided to give it a try! SO glad we did! The fried green tomatoes were tooooooo die for! We also had Caesar salads. One with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken. Absolutely delicious. There was plenty of cheese and dressing on each serving so we didn’t have to ask for anything else! Also, get the sweet tea! I probably consumed my body weight in sweet tea there. Fantastic. Additionally, our waitress was WONDERFUL. Kind, thoughtful, accommodating. We didn’t have to ask for refills a single time as she was so on top of everything! Wonderful wonderful wonderful experience! 10/10, highly recommend!

    It was our ten year anniversary so after ordering oysters (delicious!) and cocktails, we decided to order broiled lobster, which since they hadn’t updated the menu-they were not serving it. Okay, so we decided to go somewhere else. After explaining this to our amazing Server, O.D. He spoke to the Chef, Eddie. Eddie visited our table, apologized that the lobster was not available to be served the way we like, but he said that he would accommodate us and prepare it especially for us since it was our anniversary. He also served us a few complimentary dishes and a glass of champagne, too! The food was absolutely amazing, and we gave a generous tip to O.D in appreciation for going above and beyond. Chef’s kiss to Eddie and we will be returning.

    The food at Two Urban Licks is always good and the service is friendly and prompt. We started with the chicken empanada appetizer which was delicious. My husband ordered the trout and I had the salmon. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We’re already talking about going back soon and bringing some friends with us!
