We had a great first experience at Bottles & Bones and will definitely be back…read more Our family of four started with three appetizers: the lobster morsels, crab cake, and meatballs. All three were excellent and a great way to start the meal. For our entrees, we had steak and chicken piccata, and everything was prepared well and was very good quality. The sides we ordered (french fries, mashed potato, and bake potato) were top notch. The service was excellent throughout the evening. The staff was attentive, friendly, and did a great job making the experience feel upscale without being overly formal or pretentious. The atmosphere strikes a really nice balance and makes it a great spot for a nice dinner without feeling stuffy. Pricing was about what we expected for this type of restaurant, and we felt the overall experience matched it. Great food, great service, and a very enjoyable evening. We will absolutely return and would highly recommend Bottles & Bones.

I came here hoping to give my dad the Father's Day dinner he deserved. What I got instead was a…read morefinancial crisis with a side of sodium poisoning. The prices were so outrageously high I started wondering if I was accidentally buying shares in the restaurant instead of ordering a steak. Then, before I could even process the emotional damage, I noticed they had already slapped an automatic tip on the receipt. Bold move. Usually people wait until after they've earned it. I would give a better tip at Texas Roadhouse, a real American Dining. The steak arrived looking like it had lost a fight with the shrink ray from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. I've seen bigger samples at Costco. It was somehow both tiny and salty as shit, which is an impressive achievement in all the wrong ways. The mac and cheese tasted like someone whispered the words "cheddar" and "seasoning" into the kitchen and called it a day. I've had more flavorful ice cubes. At one point I looked down at my plate and genuinely wondered if this was the kids' menu portion by mistake. As we departed this fine establishment, I felt as though the restaurant had not merely emptied my wallet, but reached into my very soul and repossessed my financial future. My pocket had a hole in it by the time I left, my stomach was disappointed, and my dad deserved an apology letter from the chef. If Shakespeare himself had dined here, Hamlet would've been five acts of him debating whether "to eat, or not to eat." Save your money, grill a steak at home, and season your mac and cheese with literally anything. It'll taste better, cost less, and you won't need a small business loan just to celebrate Father's Day.

Family and I used Open Table to make a Sunday evening dinner reservation. It worked like a charm…read moreand we were notified via text that our table was ready sooner than our reserved time. Super appreciative of such technology. Parking was plentiful when we got there and we were able to park right next to the patio and front door. The immediate parking lot is kind of small and shared with some other establishments, but there is plenty of other parking in connecting lots around the establishment. So no worries if you don't get as lucky as we do. The hostess was very pleasant and offered either indoor or outdoor seating. It was a rainy day so we opted for inside to be on the safe side (the patio is covered though, so no worries if that's your preference). Our server Nicholas was super polite and helpful. He explained the menu and abbreviations to my party with suffient detail. The food was cooked to perfection and served at the perfect temperature. We'll definitely return based on the stellar hospitality!

But usually that's the kitchen because they are hot the restaurant suffers. Ordered a wedge salad to split and a margarita. The wedge was so huge so literally could feed a table for 4. Order the ribeye, brussel sprouts and corn gasm. The ribeye was very fatty and had a pile of fat that was 1/2 of the steak. My husband likes the coffee rub but it was too much. The sides are considerably smaller than the many times we come before. We came for my husband's birthday and they gave us the brownie with ice cream gratis but we took the coconut cream pie home. Excellent pie! I hope they read this and make a few changes.

Buford, GA Just…read morearrived in the area and were looking for a good place to eat ~ this spot popped up in our search, and it happened to be very close to our Airbnb. We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to accommodate us. Yay! The space looks like an old bank, complete with a vault inside. It's small but cozy, with enough room for groups. Definitely works for date night too. What we ordered: Premium Ribeye Fried Porkchop Grilled Porkchop Creamed Corn Sweet Potato Suffle Collard Greens Everything was tasty, well‑seasoned, and genuinely mouthwatering. The ribeye was juicy and tender, and both porkchops were cooked beautifully. Portions are generous ~ our companions even took home half their meals. The Sweet Potato Suffle ended up being one of our favorites ~ the marshmallow on top makes it feel almost like a dessert. Warm, sweet, and comforting without being overly heavy. I'd come back just for this. Our server took care of us, checked on us in a timely manner. Parking is limited in front, but if you don't mind a short walk, you can find spots a little farther out. If we find ourselves back in the area, this will be one of the first places we return to. Great food, generous portions, and a cozy atmosphere. Recommended.

The flavor was good but again- when a steak is juicy you can look past everything else!! Service was great!! Absolutely loved our server. Atmosphere was a little noisy but dim lights made it cool. I expected more upscale crowd but it was kind of like a family crowd. I was over dressed to say the least. Definitely will be back.

Shoutout to Sandra and Debora :)

Heard so many great things about this restaurant chain, so visited here for my birthday. Would…read morehave been better off eating at the food court. The main issue was the putrid stench upon entering the restaurant. It smelled like blue cheese and hot dumpster. Not like a grilled meat smell or something even close to the food served. The staff pretended like they didn't know what we were talking about when almost every table around us mentioned the stench. After a while, I was hoping that I would get used to it, but the smell never went away. I was so happy to leave to smell fresh air again. The meats were poor quality and tough, even when cooked rare. It's a Brazilian style steakhouse, yet the sauces for the meats were not on the bar and the servers were super stingy. Best thing here was the grilled cheeses and grilled pineapple. Not the meat. Sad. Food on the bar was sad also and soggy or whilted. Not fresh. You pay $7.75 for water here. No other water available. Server disappeared so it took 30 minutes just to print our check. This brand new location already needs so be fumigated to get the smell out of the carpet. Overall a bad experience on a special day.

Frankie's is one of my favorite places, and once again, they delivered a five star experience…read moreacross the board. We came with a party of six to celebrate my Mimi's birthday, and everything from the food to the service was amazing. The atmosphere is elegant, warm, and upscale without ever feeling stuffy. It has that classic steakhouse feel that makes it perfect for a birthday dinner, date night, or any special occasion. We started with the oysters and calamari, and both were fantastic. I ordered the Center Cut Filet Oscar style, and it was cooked perfectly. For the table, we shared the onion rings, corn, and garlic mashed potatoes. The garlic mashed potatoes are easily my favorite side here. I'm obsessed and could probably eat an entire family size serving by myself. I also tried some of my dad's lobster bisque, which was so good that it has officially made my list of things I need to order for myself next time. My sister ordered the Dover sole, and after trying some of hers for the first time, I'm now debating getting that on my next visit too. Everything was delicious, and the portions at Frankie's are always incredibly generous. You definitely won't leave hungry! My espresso martinis were also amazing. I'm pretty particular about how I like them, and they made them exactly how I wanted, which I really appreciated. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they brought out their famously gigantic slice of cake for the table. There was more than enough for all six of us to share, and I even took some home for my fiancé. They also sent us home with their complimentary muffins for breakfast the next morning, which is such a fun touch and something I always look forward to because they are delicious. We had two servers taking care of our table, and both were incredibly attentive, professional, and welcoming. They truly made us feel like family and made my Mimi's birthday dinner feel special. Frankie's continues to be one of those places we can count on for incredible food, amazing cocktails, generous portions, beautiful ambiance, and top tier service. There's a reason it remains one of my favorites, and we'll happily keep coming back!

My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The moment we walked in it was…read morevery intimate and special. The table was decorated with little hearts and a card to wish us a happy anniversary. Our servers were a team made up of Deija, Celia and Jackson. They were all very attentive and friendly. Deija was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and when we had any questions she was able to answer them without missing a beat. They brought out their warm rolls with a side of butter. Those were very good. We started off with an appetizer of their fritto misto. This dish was fried lightly and very delicious. I wanted a caesar salad and my husband mentioned sampling some of my salad. Deija overheard this and split the caesar salad which I thought was very thoughtful and nice. I couldn't have imagined eating it in addition to the bread, appetizer, entree and side that was ordered. So I really appreciated it being split. For our entrees I ordered the double cut filet mignon with shareable mashed potatoes and my husband ordered the bone in ribeye with the corn soufflé. My picture of the ribeye came out blurry so it is not pictured, sadly. We really enjoyed our steaks, they were phenomenal. The char, temperature and the way they were cooked were very delicious and to our liking. After we finished up our entrees we were going to ask for their dessert menu. Celia brought out a cheesecake with strawberries with a plate decorated in chocolate that said Happy Anniversary. We were pleasantly surprised and thankful for the dish. Deija mentioned that she hoped it was a good choice based on some food items I mentioned to her I could and could not have. We were excited and happy with the surprise dessert, it was delightful. We really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant as well as the food. The entire occasion was heavenly. We will definitely be back in the future.

We went to the crossing for our Sons birthday, who LOVES anything to do with trains…read more My wife and I are Norcross natives, so it was a lot of fun to re-visit our hometown. The steaks and seafood were great, and the owners father (Luis), gave my son and I a history lesson of the origin of the restaurant (former Norfolk Southern depot) and a guided tour of the hidden porches that you can watch passing trains up close. What a great ambassador to the restaurant! While we were eating there, we experienced 1 southbound and 1 northbound train, my son was able get great videos of both train. Overall great experience and can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm really disappointed by a recent brunch experience at Firebirds. We flagged our issues to a…read moremanager on the day, but sadly they weren't able to correct them while we were there. I'll preface this by saying we are regular diners and frequently order to-go from here too, so this isn't a problem with the food quality - which is always good. Arriving at 10:45AM, I'd expected to be on the early side of the brunch rush, and the restaurant remained pretty quiet for the first 30 minutes. It was very cold, and we asked for this to be addressed. We appeared to have a dedicated server who welcomed us warmly, fixed drink orders and offered recommendations. However, he had another (new?) server shadowing him after that, and a few things were missed by her (no straws, milk for coffee served in a bowl instead of a jug, water without lemon served with lemon pips in it, and a forgotten request for a taste of the sausage gravy). Then things took a bigger turn after we placed our entree orders. We asked for jelly or jam for biscuits and were told there wasn't any. We asked for honey and syrup for the French toast, and it took a long time to arrive (so those entrees were cold by the time the diners got to eat them). One order came with the wrong side, and one diner had to ask for fresh biscuits because those on the plates were already cold. No one ever came to bring one missing drink, or to take further/refill orders from any of the group. The chilly temperature of the dining room stayed frigid throughout. We did appreciate the professionalism of our primary server, and the sweet gestures to the Moms in the group (it was Mothers' Day). However, the communication between servers, and with management, and between front of house and kitchen, were all completely off that day. It was especially disappointing based on previous positive experiences. Despite flagging the issues to the manager on duty, we left feeling rushed, disappointed and with the impression that they didn't really care. There were huge groups of people waiting to be seated by the time we left, so hopefully the team was just warming up when we got there and I hope the experience improved for others throughout the service period. I'm not looking forward to going back, however - it felt like we were being used for staff training on one of the business Sunday brunch services of the year, and not at all like the usual dinner experience.
