We had dinner at the hotel and it was excellent! We sat out on the covered deck and it was a beautiful night. I had the pork chop and my wife had the chicken, both dishes were fantastic.

Early November was the perfect time to come for the changing of seasons with stunning hikes in every direction and no big tourist crowds to deal with. This hotel has everything you need for a cozy quiet stay. Even as the youngest couple staying we had very lovely conversation and interactions with the other couples who provided us with advice on things to see and also how to procure long lasting relationships. This feels like the perfect place to make your yearly anniversary stay. Very thankful for the warm and inviting welcome we had from the staff to the regulars who have been coming back for years.

Wrong night for a medium sized party. They were told at the start of the night & on the phone that…read morethere would be at least 12 of us. We ended up with a table that comfortably could seat 8, we squeezed in 12. We had another table for the kids. They were a table of 6 a few feet away. Again it was only a table for 4. But kids don't care much about that. The food was barely ok. However, I personally liked someone else's deep fried Cod & onion straws. They weren't very hungry & im glad they shared. On my bill was myself & 1 other person. We split the Steak Salad & a plate of Beef Nachos for the table. The dressing was fine, the rest was not good. Ordered the steak rare. Steak was med well, tuff, chewy & grisly. If it was tasty I would have only bothered to complain about it only having 2 1/2oz - 3oz of steak. Yeesh!!!!! I was told by 5 people the alcoholic beverages were tasty. I had ice water & I don't remember but I think I also had sweet tea. Other folks ordered appetizers for both tables. They probably should have warned me when I called for a reservation they would be having Song Bingo. All the gal did say was that "we don't take reservations, but they took call-ins". Umm, that's pretty close to a reservation to all of us. Anyway, good luck dinning there. The server was trying hard, I give her kudos. Thank you Miss Shae. Well that's my story.

We're based in the metro Atlanta area and first visited this spot years ago - loved it then, and…read morehappy to report it's still just as good. This time, my husband and I decided to branch out and try the specials, and it absolutely paid off. I'd go that route again without hesitation. The whipped coffee was rich, creamy, and perfectly indulgent - exactly what you want when you're craving a treat. The sticky bun leaned a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband (who loves anything sugary) was all in. That said, the texture was spot on. Service really stood out. Our server, Hannah, was friendly, attentive, and efficient - everything you hope for in a great dining experience. The space itself adds to the charm. It feels like you're dining in a converted old house: cozy, a little rustic, a little artsy, and refreshingly different from the usual restaurant setup. Easy 10/10.

Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. They're known for hearty subs, and the Philly cheesesteak, juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a generous roll that soaked up all the flavor beautifully. Portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. I also tried the Pastalaya with chicken, which were flavorful with great seasoning and cooked perfectly. The variety on the menu is excellent too, everything from Italian hoagies and pasta classics to salads and soups, so there's something for everyone. Service was very friendly and efficient, and prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Would definitely recommend stopping in for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner. Ample free parking available in front and around the restaurant.

We have tried their Pastalaya made of Diavolo and alfredo sauce blended with grilled chicken, shrimp, Italian sausage, onions and green peppers. I was worried because it is their take on Jambalaya, but it was a wonderful burst of flavor. Garlic bread was a complimentary with our dish. Steven was our server for the day. Plenty of free parking in and around the restaurant. The Mad Italian first opened in Atlanta way back in 1973 and they have been going strong in Chamblee, GA ever since 1981. Their original location in Chamblee closed within the past ten years or so and they have a pretty much brand new spot literally about two doors down on Savoy Drive. Fantastic, modern restaurant facility. Unbeatable location. Top notch service. Friendly ambience that feels like home. Excellent service. And the best food you can get for the price.
