We were there for Valentine's Day, when most restaurants raise the prices without offering anything really special. Not so here! We were treated to a five-course fixed price menu, and we both opted for the wine pairing. All wines were solid, with a couple that were truly good. Here, the real star was the food. The dishes were inventive and whimsical, a both my wife and I finished every dish. We didn't opt in for a six course, but it certainly wasn't because they hadn't earned our trust. We were just full! I personally love open kitchens, and it's a lot of fun to be able to interact with the chefs between courses. They are true rock stars. This area on the Beltline is becoming a favorite and we will definitely be back to check out seasonal menu changes.

Chef Marlo absolutely killed it at the NYCWFF this year! His mini tacos was a hands down hit. Word…read morespread how good his tacos were and the line went from a few at the beginning of the day to one of the longest ones at the event. Everyone that had one raves about it! Can't wait for him to open a restaurant here permanently in NYC. You can't just keep him for yourselves in Atlanta. He needs to come here! But if you do go to Atlanta and looking for a place to eat. Go look him up and you'll leave happy. Sad he won't be at the entire show because I want to eat more of it . Thanks for treating our palates with yummilicious tacos. Your newest fan from NYC!

PHENOMENAL CHEF! We hired chef Jarvis for our baby shower and a personal dinner for two!…read moreBaby shower: he prepared shrimp and grits, seafood pasta, and fresh fruit tray. ALL FRUIT WAS GONE! The freshest fruit! The shrimp and grits were light but well seasoned! There was just enough shrimp in each bite and he wasn't stingy with the portion size. The seafood pasta was an ultimate hit! There was seafood in every bite and it was the freshest seafood! I never had seafood pasta prepared this way. It contained crab, shrimp and a lobster topping! EVERYONE ATE ALL OF HIS FOOD. We ordered enough and none was left! All of our guests constantly still talk about how good the food was at the shower Private dinner: Chef Jarvis served jalapeño wrapped in bacon, seafood macaroni and cheese, fingerling potatoes, asparagus and a Tomahawk steak. The steak was extremely tender and well seasoned! The seafood macaroni and cheese was fluffy and the seafood taste was not over powering the Mac and cheese. The asparagus and potatoes were fresh and seasoned perfectly! To end the night we were served a brownie that was sooooo soft! I don't eat sweets because I don't like the way they taste but I ate the whole brownie! That says something! I would definitely hire him again! There is no one better in Atalanta! Typically everyone is about presentation and no taste or vice versa. Chef Jarvis comes with both! You get great tasting food, beautiful presentation and stellar service !!!

Would have loved to try this place. Unfortunately, their allergy information is inaccessible. As a…read morevegan based restaurant I'm shocked that they don't have their allergens listed on their menu. Additionally, when you select the "food allergy disclaimer" page on their website it is blank.

Their number is automated and you are unable to speak with an actual person. Such a great disappointment in this regard.

Avoid Mick's Catering at all costs…read more We hired Mick's Catering for our wedding reception, and it was a complete disaster. From the very beginning, the experience was unprofessional and stressful. Mick was late to set up, which caused everything to run behind schedule. He arrived unprepared and, as a result, ran out of forks, cups, and even food before the event was halfway through. Despite prior agreements and instructions, many of the details we had discussed were completely disregarded. To make matters worse, Mick was rude and dismissive to our guests, which added unnecessary tension to an already stressful day. When family and friends left honest reviews about the service, Mick responded with false claims. He attempted to shift the blame, stating that we had more guests than agreed upon (which was untrue) or that everything was fine and that the guests "loved him." He also took to berating the bride, creating further negative reviews from attendees who were shocked at his lack of professionalism. Instead of owning up to his mistakes or offering any form of apology, Mick doubled down on his lies, even calling guests and family members "liars." When public reviews started to show the truth, he removed his Google account entirely to hide the feedback, which speaks volumes about his refusal to take responsibility. This could have all been avoided with a simple apology or an attempt to make things right. Instead, Mick's Catering not only failed to deliver but turned an already challenging situation into a nightmare. We strongly advise anyone considering this service to look elsewhere for your event.
