Visiting family in the area they turned us on to this little jewel. The location was 10 minutes from our hotel, which was great. The atmosphere inside was calm and welcoming. The decor is very nice. This is a good spot for a date or a meal with family. The wait staff could have been friendlier; they were very transactional. When bringing the food the young man didn’t know the names of the food, for example, I ordered the Bourbon Brussels and he said "Here's your asparagus" 🤔 My cousin and husband got the spareribs and he said "Here's your steak, I think"😏 We had: Bourbon Brussels Calamari Shrimp and Grits Fried Green Tomatoes Braised Spareribs Collard Greens Everything was cooked well and seasoned 😋 This place is certainly worth checking out.
Five Stars Across the board. The place, the Food and the Service was great. Only Red Flag The Health Inspection Score was a 83?? This is normally a NO for any Score under a 90. But!!!! We had a Great Time.
Stopped in for a late lunch. Everything was amazing. The food was delicious and the vibe was 10/10. But the star of the star of the show was our server Karma. She was AWESOME! So sweet and attentive. Gave us great recommendations and service. Must try place and see is Karma is available!
People are more likely to review extremely positive experiences or extremely negative ones and unfortunately, this leans on this negative side. I’ve visited this restaurant before and had a great experience on June 14 around 4 p.m. amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and a fantastic server who gave excellent recommendations. That visit is why I returned. But my most recent experience on July 12, 2025, after 7pm was disappointing. Due to a last-minute failure from another restaurant (I made those reservations 4 months ago and they closed for the day with no notification or cancelling of my reservation), I needed to quickly find a place that could possibly seat 15 people for a birthday dinner. I knew that was a big ask on a Saturday night, so I came prepared to be flexible and respectful. When my sister-in-law arrived before me, she was told that unless an expected party did a no-show, seating wouldn’t be available and also our entire party had to be present first before seating us. Fair enough. I was told the tone used by the hostess was short and uninviting. When I arrived to clarify the hostess directions for myself, I was met with the same attitude: “Well, like I told her…” I’ve worked in food service, retail, and now business operations and PR, I “overstand” what it’s like to deal with customers in fast paced environments. But tone and hospitality still matter, especially at an establishment with luxury ambitions. Sis-in-law works in public relations for the largest venues in Vegas, and I trust her description of her experience. What concerned me most were the operational optics: *Staff were seen standing around waiting. *Multiple tables where empty in the main area. *A separate section, what looked like an event space, was entirely unused. *The person we were celebrating overheard- someone we assumed was a floor manager- trying to problem-solve with the hostess. I’ve learned that requiring the entire party to be present before seating is common in Atlanta and the surrounding areas (I’m from NYC, so that was new to me). But even if our full party had arrived, there was still no guarantee we’d be seated. That ambiguity, paired with the tone and layout observations, made us decide to leave. We found another nearby restaurant that accommodated us warmly and the difference in energy was very noticeable. I still thanked the hostess on our way out. I wasn’t upset, just disappointed. I was ready to pay, tip heavily (above the auto-gratuity), and celebrate. Instead, the experience felt cold and disorganized. That’s not entirely a staff failure; it’s an operations and revenue miss. This place has so much potential: great food, beautiful space, and upscale promise. But guest experience is about more than just the menu. I might return again with a smaller group, but I hope this feedback helps tighten alignment between front-of-house service and the upscale atmosphere this restaurant is clearly trying to deliver. Attached are photos from our first visit last month and there is a photo of the space that looked unused to me. That space is so well decorated, I had hoped it was available.
First time visiting and I got three words… peach cobbler pancakes! *chefs kiss* Was looking for a good brunch spot and what’s brunch with mimosas, right? And even tho Parkside District dropped the ball with the mimosas—and water, I still enjoyed myself. Our waiter was friendly and patient… cuz she answered every question. Made sure to check in with us.. she handled business. I ordered the Gouda Grit Fritters, the Fried Green Tomato Caprese, the Cornbread Skillet (w/ brambleberry jam), and the Peach Cobbler Pancakes. Phew! The fritters… 6/10 Fried Green Tomatoes… 8/10 Cornbread Skillet… 10/10 Peach cobbler pancakes… 10/10 Mimosas… 0/10 Water… –5/10 Back to the mimosas 😐 ordered the classic carafe and we finished the entire pitcher and not a piece of a buzz. I’ve patroned plenty of brunch spots where the mimosas will have you stuck smh. And the [tap] water tasted like Alka Seltzer.. bleh. I’d def be back to visit.. cause of the cornbread alone. Try it for yourself and thank me later by hearting this!
