I stumbled upon this through a search of pasta. I was almost certain that I would never find a place in the north Georgia area that would make hand made pasta. I am certainly glad I was wrong. This jewel modestly contains one of the better eats in the northeastern Georgia area. Started with an old fashioned. Two things that makes it a great one. A large singular ice cube. And Luxardo cherries. Not to mention a large array of bourbon choice to your liking. Moved to the Shrimp Alfredo, 4 large shrimp expertly cooked to its proper fineness ans tossed with the house made oasta. The Alfredo is a simple sauce adding to them the garlic. Great finesse. Topped everything off with the cake. I enjoyed it I thought the density would propped the apple flavor more front and center. But over all the cake did a great job of not being heavy and has a good balance topped off with cinnamon ice cream. Great drinks, great food, great ambiance, and lastly with a Maitre D' that was the star of the show. I'll be back... read more

Double check your reservation if you make it online, as the upstairs is closed some days. Aside from not sitting where we requested(which was not a huge deal) everything was great! The food was fantastic, our server was amazing and answered everyone's questions, while accommodating specific food needs. This is a whole experience from drinks to dessert!! read more

Many times our favorite place- disappointed tonight - food so salty couldn't eat it all. The dessert offering doesn't make it better! read more

I constantly find myself coming back here for a multitude of reasons, and I never have regrets. If you're looking for a place with intimate classy styling, on point service, and fine dining that you simply wouldn't expect to find in Cornelia, this is your place. Birthdays, anniversaries, or just for the experience I highly recommend stopping in. A few of my personal favorites are the wagyu burger, halibut, and dry aged Kansas City Strip. I would be remiss to not bring up the seasonal menu changes in addition to the regulars, where the chef picks the best ingredients and offers unique deserts, appetizers , and entres. For those who want to stay and enjoy this relaxed hidden gem in the middle of Cornelia they also feature two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs, along with a cigar bar and patio to indulge as well. read more

Terrific first experience at Community Brew & Tap last night. Our waitress Emerald was very sweet! I recommend making a reservation via OpenTables. My partner had the Old Fashioned cocktail and I had the Collins. He LOVED the Old Fashioned. My Collins was good but would've been even better with a garnish :). We split the Caesar salad & Truffle Mac n Cheese. I had the 6oz filet with the parm garlic butter. He had the ribeye with the same butter. We split the Tres Leches cake for dessert. Although this meal was very pricey, it was delicious. The atmosphere is trendy and inviting. We will be back! read more

Treat yourself to a luxury dining experience when in Northeast Georgia. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent steaks, fun cocktails and a step back into a prohibition speakeasy vibe. Pricy but worth every dime. Steak melted in my mouth, seafood was fresh, smoked asparagus were delicious. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful Saturday night dinner for my husband's birthday. From the cocktails to the appetizers (carpaccio and clams), steak (wagyu baseball and bone in filet), to the dessert (apple cake with cinnamon ice cream) everything was fantastic. We also enjoyed a few delicious cocktails and a glass of wine. The service was impeccable and we can't wait to go back! read more

Food, service, and ambience were excellent. It is exquisite place to celebrate a special life event.

The food is always amazing! And service is spot on. This is a really cool restaurant that is a converted bank. The bank vaults are still in place in the restaurant. Lots of history and an unbeatable ambiance! read more

I hear how wonderful this restaurant is but i don't know how you have any business. I have been calling everyday for a month during business hours. Most of the time there is a message that the business can't take calls and the few times the call goes to an answering machine, I have left messages to please call me for a reservation. I have emailed several times, to never get a return email! It looks easy to make a simple reservation on line but it won't allow you to request seating on the main floor for handicap seating since there is no elevator for the upstairs. This happened last year also and our birthday celebration that we wanted to have at Community Brew and Tap came and went because they would NOT RETURN messages or emails. Not very professional for an upscale restaurant. read more

Please for the love of God... start answering your phone. We love this place but you guys do not have a decent communication system. I've been trying to reach someone for a month. No calls returned. Extremely frustrating. read more

We had the honor of trying of @communitybrewtap last night and it was so amazing. We started the evening with the Wagyu Carpaccio and Grilled Bacon. For dinner we tried the New York Strip and Wagyu Burger with the Truffle Brussels Sprouts. To drink we tried the Smoked Old Fashioned and Mountain Muletini. The service was A++ and so was the food. It is the perfect spot for a celebration of any kind or an intimate date night. The building was formerly a bank built over 100 years ago and the decor is a modern twist on the time. We can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. read more

Delicious! How to I leave the place bragging about the creamed corn? The steak was great and service couldn't have been better.

First time there, the food was great and the service was excellent. Kaitlyn (excuse me if I spelled it wrong) was super knowledgeable about the menu and recommended things we would like. The place has a nice mellow and enjoyable atmosphere. For dinner I had the surf and turf accompanied by a smoked old fashioned (tequila option) and everything was good. I will definitely be back again, and they went the extra mile with our 6th year anniversary celebration. I'm hooked! 5 Star food by 5 star service. read more

The food, the service everything about this place is just amazing!!! You feel very welcomed when you first come in the doors! It makes a great dinner date but if you just want some AMAZING food then you've got to try it out!!! read more

Incredible food, waitstaff, and atmosphere. We were pampered from the minute we arrived. We sampled appetizers, had steaks cooked perfectly, mushrooms, and crème brûlée' as well as a deconstructed lemon cheesecake. The drinks were beautiful and delicious. I have no idea where 2 master chefs came from to put a restaurant of this caliber in a small mountain town, but I am grateful that they did. The attention to every detail was evident. Don't miss this opportunity to visit this restaurant because my review doesn't do it justice! We will be back often. read more

Definitely one of the nicest restaurants in the area. Very cool and stylish location. Very attentive servers. Manhattan's are their specialty. I don't like whiskey but I love their Manhattan's! All specialty cocktails are amazing. Food choices galore. You can't pick anything bad (or even average) here. Just spend the money and enjoy this beautiful place! read more

Terrible service. We had a reservation at 8pm, didn't even get seated til 8:20pm. Then our server didn't come by to get our drinks til 8:35pm. She came back and we put our order in right away, as we explained we have a 2 hour drive home, after coming here after a basketball game. She took our food order at 8:46pm. It's right now 9:30 and we still haven't gotten our food, as the restaurant is pretty empty. There is only 4 of us here, and no one ordered anything complicated. We are celebrating a birthday, and thought this place had great reviews and good food. Clearly not the case. read more

My daughter and I ate here earlier for her 13th birthday & we were so impressed. Our waitress was Colleen and she was so helpful and sweet. Every person we encountered that worked there was beyond kind. The food -- omg. Delicious. My daughter had the 6 oz. filet with mashed potatoes & I had the Alfredo. I can't eat shrimp so they substituted a bar chicken for me and that was so good. My kiddo (who is not the easiest to please) quickly said how much she liked it. She asked to come back monthly for our mom/daughter date. Oh -- we also got the Cinnamon Cake & it was also amazing. Highly recommend dining here. We will definitely be back! PS -- just to further explain how great the staff is. Colleen noticed my daughter was a little cold (without us saying a word) so she adjusted the air for her. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Ok so of the bat I had no expectations .. I was at the sky lounge trying to find a nice restaurant to take my uncle for his birthday on a last minute bday dinner . I flew in from San Diego and had a busy day checked in at the cabin and freshened up .. for what little did I know was going to be the best dining experience yet. Walking up to the door we knew we were early for our 8:15 reso but nevertheless we walked past the red velvet ropes and carpet. And we were greeted by Alfred the bat cave guardian and asked if we can get in early turns out I messed and we showed up really early like days early lol .. he was able to acomódate us in a reasonable time then found us a great table . Everything here is excellent drinks! Food! Singer! Atmosphere! Come here u won't be disappointed .. damn now I'm concerned you all will crowd my fav place lol Love you Guys -Cook read more

Don't be fooled by the name. This is not a brew house but a steakhouse. Reasonable prices, nice ambiance and great service. Wasn't sure a higher end steakhouse would do ok in the area but consistently full. read more

We had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary. They renovated the old bank building and it is beautiful! Our waitress was Colleen and she was wonderful and was able to answer all of questions about food and drinks. The raspberry mojito was perfect as was the champagne. I ordered the filet which was like butter and my husband had the prime rib which was tender, full of flavor and served with shaved horseradish. We shared a chopped salad which was probably the best I have ever tasted and mashed potatoes which were creamy and spot on. Last we had the bourbon brûlée and peach cake with peach ice cream. The general manager Susan came by to check on us during our visit. Do yourself a favor and have lunch or dinner here! read more

Everything about this place is amazing. I wish we could go here all the time. Very nice for special occasions

Such a pleasant surprise! Our B&B recommended this place and after our trip to Helen was a complete disappointment as far as restaurants go, we decided to make the 30 min drive to Cornelia and check it out. The building is beautiful, the atmosphere is upscale, fine dining and the staff was wonderful. We had drinks at the bar while we waited for the restaurant to seat for dinner. The food was delicious, I had the filet. My only complaint is I wish their alacarte sides were not "sharable" sized. I would have ordered more than just mashed potatoes if I knew the portions would be for 1 person. My husband doesn't eat any of that stuff so I was kind of bummed that I couldn't try more things. If you live nearby and can take leftovers home, I guess that would be ok. read more

Absolute class! The food is amazing, the service is topnotch, and, the building is amazing inside. The only complaint I have is that it's not connected to my house. Absolutely fantastic!!! read more

Saturday evening was my first visit but it certainly will not be my last! The dishes we had were fantastic and what they've done with the aesthetics of this building provides an elegant and sophisticated setting. The pork belly appetizer, simply stated was the best either of us have ever had... it absolutely melts in your mouth! The French onion soup was delightful, rich and savory perfect for a chilly evening. For entrées we had the pork chop and the 45 day, dry aged Kansas City strip. I chose bone marrow to top the Kansas City strip which added a great deal of savory flavor to an already delicious cut. It was cooked perfectly, medium rare and was incredibly flavorful. The pork chop is not one to be missed either! So many places over cook pork but that was not here, this one truly delicious! To be certain they have a lot of talent in the kitchen and it shows on the plate for sure! It is worth mentioning that in comparison to well-established restaurants the service here (after only three weeks) has some catching up to do with the high bar set by everything else there doing so well. It did not seem to be from lack of effort or enthusiasm, everyone seem to be doing their level best but more experience and perhaps some training should take care of this overtime. I would imagine and as many of us have experienced that it is a tough time for restaurants to get employees at all and I hope others will be patient with all restaurant staff these days. Overall we had a fabulous experience and can't wait to return! read more

An instant classic. Just opened this week, but already giving the finest steakhouses in Atlanta a run for their money, all from charming little Cornelia, Georgia. The food was outstanding. Perfectly prepared Aged Prime steaks, cooked on a wood fired grill. Sides were delicious, especially the creamed corn. Not to be missed! Nice wine list. Excellent cocktail service with super friendly bartenders. Service was fantastic. The chef was charming and come out to check on us personally, even sending us an off menu desert of his own making. The owners, Jay and Melissa are charming hosts, circulating among the diners, treating old friends and making new ones. They and the whole staff instantly set their guests at ease and take care of their every need. And the location. Fabulous. The building is a historic bank, completely transformed by its visionary owners. Historic exposed brick with early 20th century advertising murals. Hundred year old exposed beams. The restaurant would look completely comfortable in the most chi-chi neighborhoods in Atlanta. Instead this gem is tucked away in charming downtown Cornelia, tucked away in the highlands of. North Georgia. We will definitely be back. Again and again and again. read more

It's really tough to say this because the ambiance and service were excellent. But I have to say 4 stars because of the value. I had the 12oz smoked filet @ $90 with no side. It came cooked correctly but was cool to the touch. It definitely sat for a few minutes before coming to the table. Then the powder/seasoning on top was a little odd. Overall it tasted good but not $90 good. Just being honest. Then the side was extra so for some Mac n cheese it made my meal $100. Mac n cheese was great though. My wife had salmon and it was pretty good. Salty but pretty good. Cocktails were excellent. Wine and bourbon lists were abundant and there were many options. Our server did an excellent job, the host and other staff was great as well. We'll definitely go again but it'll have to wow me to justify a third visit. read more

This is our first time dining here and it was a fabulous experience! Our dinners were fantastic. The entire staff were courteous and so friendly, our waiter (Evan) was great, I don't know how he remembered every item on that menu and then some. Earl , (the maître d' if you will) was awesome, gave us tour and history of the building. This restaurant beats Little Alleys,Stoney River and Bare Bones, read more

This restaurant resides where an old bank used to be and I can't say enough good things about it. The prohibition-era, moody maximalist style interior is gorgeous, the food is so flavorful and lovingly crafted/plated and our server was such a delight (petite black-haired young lady). We had the wedge salad with blue cheese, prosciutto and dill green goddess dressing (so refreshing and delicious), wagyu beef carpaccio (not my favorite, but good), my son had the wagyu burger (and he raved about it), my husband had the tomahawk (what a massive, deliciously-aged steak), I had the shrimp Alfredo (best I've ever had) with creamed corn (you must try it!!!) and my mother had the shrimp and grits (I didn't taste it but she liked it and it looked amazing). We also had two different old fashioned drinks (made just right), the mint chocolate martini (they melt cotton candy into it!) and a mezcal mule (not really a fan, could not taste the mezcal - it just tasted like sour mix to me and looked rather plain). If I were to make any suggestions, it would be to expand the craft cocktails selection and include some more unique drinks. I hope if we ever get to visit again, we can come dine here again. read more

Visited Community by chance after our intended destination nearby was unexpectedly closed. We feel like we hit the lottery! Not only was the food excellent, the drinks delicious, and the service second-to-none, but it just might be the coolest ambience we've ever experienced at a restaurant. We cannot wait to go on our next date night to Community, and we are looking forward to sharing the experience with our friends and family! read more

Met my little brother here on his way back to Atlanta to fly out. Staff was super friendly, table was already setup for our reservation of 3. For drinks we had water and the Oktoberfest beer. Food was phenomenal and great plating! Had a smoked filet that came out on a slab of wood covered in a glass dome filled with smoke. Smoke wasn't over powering, and could tastes hints throughout the meal. Had the Brussel sprouts and Mac n cheese as sides. Place wasn't super busy so we were able to carry on conversation and had a great time! All in all we will come back for sure! read more
