    Braised Beef Dip
    Kristen T.

    I met a girlfriend for brunch and we had a great time! Parking is really annoying here so definitely leave extra time - but it just is what it is in Marietta Square. The service was great - friendly and very patient with us as we chit chatted! The restaurant itself is beautiful! Really very chic! I tried the following: Kale Salad $16 Braised Beef Dip $17 Side of Aioli $0.50 Bee's Knees Bites $8 After my friend got her delicious burger and I took a bite of my husband's beef dip, I greatly regretted getting the salad! Haha! The kale salad was fine, but it was quite sad and not something I'd ever order again. The goat cheese balls on the top were the star. The beef dip was stellar! Really quite flavorful! There were some pieces in there that were wayyyyyy over done, but it really was just so good. I'd probably get it for my main next time I'm back! The goat cheese balls are a must. Just get them and pray you don't have to share! I could make a meal of them they are the perfect balance of crispy salty and sweet with the sauce! It's a great place for a little brunch with plenty to choose from!

    Walking around in the square and decided to stop here with a friend. We were seated outside as requested. Once we finished our dining experience outside we were taken to the speakeasy. We sat at the bar. Bartender was nice. Plenty of street parking in the area.

    Enjoyed the new fall menu. I had the rice and chicken bowl. My daughter had short rib sandwich and both were good. All our drinks were delicious. Service was good. Has inside and outside seating. Been here a few times because we enjoy the food and drinks plus the seasonal change in menus.

    This place was pretty cool. I went here on a Friday evening. We sat outside at a table and just ordered a cocktail. They had live music going on and we were able to enjoy that from the outside looking in. It was quite busy, but someone soon came to take our orders. They ran out of water glasses, so I suggested ours be brought out in to go cups. ( which was no big deal). After enjoying the weather, decided to check out their speakeasy. It was a different vibe downstairs. The mixolofist was cool and informative. We ordered a drink down there. Listened to the dope Playlist and enjoyed each other's conversation. I would love to come back for ladies night.

    Nestled right in Marietta Square. This is a super cute restaurant. Walking in feels like stepping into a time capsule not to mention they have a (secret) speakeasy with passcode entry. They also have brunch, lunch, and dinner which is a plus! I really wanted to love my experience here (and the customer service is fine, that wasn't rely my issue) however I feel like the menu was all over the place. I guess I just can't really tell what this restaurant is going for. I enjoyed my meal there, I had a Proper Burger the first time and pot roast the second time but it wasn't anything that I'm gushing over and can't wait to return to. I've been twice now and I think it's a solid restaurant, but I think the menu needs a little revamping and I probably won't be back anytime soon.

    Creol shrimp, amazing. Not too spicey, went great with smoked Gouda mashed taters

    Food: all of it Drinks: Caramel Belle Service: Vanessa Atmosphere: (A+) Music audible but quiet enough for conversation. Best food on the Square! A quiet secret is the table in back! Best seat in the house, but make a reservation!

    This restaurant will be in my rotation because it's so good. Some of my girlfriends had dinner here and it was so wonderful. The service was great. Our waitress frequently checked in on us and gave us recommendations. She didn't hesitate to tell us the truth about some of our choices and I really appreciated that. We started off with appetizers. The fried goat cheese is wonderful and so is the brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts are big enough to share, but you're not gonna want to because they're so good. For dinner two of us got the short rib bite and my other friend got the salmon. The short rib was very good and tender. The only thing that made me mad is the plate was so small. But the restaurant is top of style, although the short rib bites are labeled under large plates. Just not large enough...lol. While dining, I saw some customers walk around the corner and go down a secret door. Come to find out they have a speakeasy downstairs. I had no idea. We asked the waitress do you have to have reservations to go down there? She said it is recommended but we could just go to the host stand and see if they had anything available. So after we finished dinner, we went downstairs and enjoyed the vibes. I will say it's a very nice speakeasy. And the drinks were good. They're not the same drinks that you can get in the restaurant part. I let the bartender make a drink for me so what I got really didn't have a name. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and the speakeasy to anyone. I'll definitely be going back.

    My husband is still raving about this spot the following morning! If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood go-to spot, don't sleep on this one! We were able to make reservations for a Sunday dinner. It's a smaller restaurant, and for a Sunday, it got to be pretty busy. (good sign) The excellent service, romantic ambience, and exceptional food quality totally eclipsed our lackluster greeting. The decor was straight from a 1920's speakeasy a'la The Great Gatsby, and surprise! (to me anyway) there's an actual speakeasy below the main dining area. Our server Marisa was engaging, warm, and very helpful. While I could see her being very busy behind the bar (those espresso martinis!), she was still attentive without being overbearing. Great selections on the menu, whether you prefer tapas-style shareable bites or a larger main dish that's big enough for 2 to share. Reasonably priced, and all of what we got tasted amazing! Full bar menu included several non-alcoholic cocktails and beverages. Who knew? But it looked like the espresso martini flights were the main attraction! We'll be back just to try those!! For our starters, we tried the short ribs, mushroom dumplings, and fried goat cheese. YUMMM!! There were actually a good selection of vegetarian options on their small menu. We chose to share the orange chicken with a side of brussels sprouts, and we were blown away by how tender the chicken was while still having that crispness of the glazed skin. Wow!! Bonus for us was the gentleman who so kindly kept clearing our dishes turned out to be the owner Will! Super friendly and even offered to take us to see the speakeasy downstairs! Just really made us feel welcome. And learning that we could host private events downstairs, we may just make up something to do it. We cannot wait to come back!

    Been here twice for lunch and enjoyed both times greatly! First time, I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was so good. Also ordered the espresso martini and wow. They have an oat milk cold foam on top and it is so special. Second time around, I ordered the shrimp bowl. You can tell that the ingredients are quality here and you don't leave feeling gross. This is a good staple to have in Marietta square and I plan to keep coming back!

    I ate outside on their patio the other day and was pleasantly surprised. We originally went in the beginning but they've definitely worked the kinks out since and expanded their food menu! I ordered a shrimp po boy which was on homemade bread, decent sized fresh fried shrimp and their house chips were tasty! My dad got a croissant sandwich which he liked too. Service was great, the waiter took the time to ask for all of our names and greeted us by them every time which was kind.

    Love the vibe and the innovative small plates were creative, and as delicious to eat as they were art form.

    Parking ? What exit to take off 75 coming from the north .how far off 75

    I'm new to the area, so not sure which exit it is, but I do know MP is the corner spot off the downtown square. There is free street parking all around the square. Depending on what time you go, you may drive around a couple of times, but there are… 

    Do they serve expresso type coffee like cappuccino or latte?

Everything looked delicious so we opted for an assortment of appetizers and dessert + 1 cocktail and 1 mocktail. Service was 10/10! Food was equally 10/10! We sat at a table near the window so people watching was also 10/10! We will DEFINITELY be back and perhaps for breakfast the next time. A MUST TRY for sure!

We were a group of 5 and that was pushing it so I'd definitely say no more than 5-6 people. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. Just a heads up--this restaurant seems to be dog friendly. As a dog owner myself that is something I'd like to know but I understand the hesitation when you're sitting and eating next to a dog. However, doesn't take away from the cleanliness or the service of the restaurant. We ordered the Mezze trio as an appetizer. Everyone loved the hummus however my favorite was the red beet root. I also loved that they can refill the pita bread which went by quickly. Most of the table ordered the lamb skewers which I thought was a good. I'd give it an 8/10. I thought the flavors paired nicely and it was a different taste than the skewers I've ordered before. My brother ordered the salmon and he really enjoyed that. The service was nice however it did take at least 45 minutes for us to get our food which was a bummer. Definitely could see this being a nice, chill lunch or dinner spot.

    Finding myself enjoying more and more restaurants around Marietta Square. Such a cute quaint…read moredowntown. Only about 15min from my house in Smyrna and far enough from the freeway that it isn't always packed. Thankfully our friend Summer booked a reservation bc this spot gets busy!! First of all parking around the square can sometimes be tricky, but right behind Hamp & Harry's they had a paid parking lot. I believe it was under $10. Not bad and easy to get in and out. Don't park in the court parking lot it's like $20 bucks. Anywho, we came for brunch and right now they have it decked out in Harry Potter theme. Super cute!! It's def. ready for Halloween too!! I didn't get the best photos, but you must check out!! I think the menu is seasonal, but everything looked yummy!! We didn't get any appetizers on this visit, but we def. came hungry and devoured all our dishes. I think we had the French Toast, Duck Egg Benedict and Avocado Toast. Everything came out fresh and to order. Our waiter and the staff was super friendly and the ambiance was perfect. We will def. be coming back again to try some other dishes.

    I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was my first time there. They do a seasonal Decor, Fall is Harry…read morePottery, Winter is "general christmas" this year. would I go back for a dinner? just to have a dinner out? probably not. That's just me, I'd definitely go if I wanted some appetizers and a few drinks with the girls though. It looks like it's a limited monthly menu, so it may change based on season? three of us got the burger, all agree, burger is good, the paprika aioli that came with my parm truffle fries had a bit of a kick, not heat, just a kick. my husbands Chicken dinner though? i think stole the show. it had a good flavor profile and the peanut sauce didn't kick your face in with peanut flavor. it was definitely Thai inspired, but...had a downhome kind of charm to it. Service was good, never had an empty water glass. Little bit of showmanship with the chicken dinner. our server slipped in and out to refill our waters without...being intrusive. So for what I went for? A bit of a family diner with the sister and brother in law? not the right atmosphere. it really is an amazing place to just go for cocktails I think though.
