    We love ATA! From Caesar at the door, to Kristin, our server, we felt welcomed and remembered. Our food was delicious and plentiful enough that my hubby and I split dinner. ATA has specials during the week. We had the chicken and it was perfect! Thanks for a sweet evening out with friends and a great gustatory experience!

    We love this place. The owner visited the table last night explain how decided to purchase. It had everything to do with the staff. Allen is our favorite server in the city. He has a natural ability to connect with his customers. We will ask for Allen every time we visit.

    The last two times we have dined at Ata we have ordered two desserts -- first, the cheese cake and the next time, the lemon cake -- both had very little flavor which was disappointing given the overall quality of the food at this restaurant.

    My wife and I visited Ata for the first time last week and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I had the best pork chop dish I've ever had with very flavorful mashed potatoes, carrots, and broccolini. I usually don't order pork chops out at an upscale restaurant but the description on the menu drew me in and I'm so glad it did. Just a terrific dish. My wife enjoyed her Shrimp and Grits just as much. Terrific experience from start to finish. We will be back.

    This was our first time dining at the restaurant. We had reservations, and were seated immediately, however it was about 15 minutes until we met our server. We had 7:45 reservations, and so sadly they were out of a couple menu items by the time we were served. That said, I ordered the fried chicken special, which came with a salad. The salad being one of the items they didn’t have, so they offered the beet salad as substitute. Our food however was served, and they had not brought said salad. They did bring it finally, about mid way thru the meal. The chicken itself was breaded nicely, mashed potato’s were nothing special, succotash was good. My friend order the squid ink pasta which was cooked perfectly but the taste of the dish was not cohesive. You immediately got an overpowering lemon taste, followed by crab aftertaste. It was not bad by any means, just very disjointed in the flavor profile. The chef was very nice, visiting all of the tables and seemed to appreciate the feedback. We will visit again, but likely at an earlier time slot as hopefully we will have better luck with menu options and better service.
