Our experience at Ata was perfect. We had a party of six. Everyone’s meal was excellent. The Staff was professional, attentive and friendly. We were treated like royalty. We will definitely be dining at Ata again.

From the time we arrived everyone and everything was great. We were made to feel welcome and special. We were not rushed at all. Food was fantastic. Stripped Bass, Pork chop and Shrimp & Grits were our entrees and did not disappoint. Drinks were great also.

We love Ata. The food is superb, the service is excellent. I was disappointed that the special was the same (shrimp and grits) as it was when we were there in October. I would like to see more variation on the vegetarian selection.
