Love knife so much! Always a good time and good vibes! Everyone is so happy and always smiling! The staff is very accommodating. They go big for birthdays and the service is unmatched! The food and drinks are amazing! They have a dj that can read the room and plays the music at a moderate level so you’re still about to talk and hear each other. I will always choose knife!! Jennifer was our waitress and she didn’t miss a beat and had the best recommendation! She has the right personality for this job and adds value to the knife experience.

We had such a pleasant dinner. We ordered several tapas (fried goat cheese, stuffed red peppers, shrimp and tuna), and we both had pasta dishes( Malfadine al Nero and Papardelle with pork ragu) . Everything was very tasty and well cooked. Even the pasta was "al dente". A wonderfull approach to Italian food. Brian was very professional, helpful and kind. Ask for him for a better experience!!!!

Was looking for a good mediterranean/Turkish restaurant in the area. This was a great find!!! My son has put this as the top of his list of places to eat in Decatur GA area. Food was fantastic and waiter was fabulous. Don't forget the desserts - what a way to top off the meal. Definitely will go here again when visiting my son.
