    Pizza was very bland. Service was slow, need more servers. Manager seemed shocked when we told him about pizza. Hope they make it though.

    We came here for dinner and had made a reservation for 2 people a few weeks prior. It was wide open…read moreat the time, but was pretty full as the time got closer. We decided last minute to join some friends who already had a reservation so they canceled ours and added us to our friends with no issue. It was hard to understand why the reservation system showed little availability as the restaurant was half empty. May be they were short staffed. We were seated in their fully enclosed patio at a low table (there were high tops as well). Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and offered up the specials from memory. We started with the focaccia, which I highly recommend! Everyone at our table thought it was the best they've had. It came with a whipped ricotta and olive tapenade, both of which were excellent! For my entree, I had the carnivora pizza which was perfectly cooked. Thin and slightly crunchy, there were not a ton of toppings that overwhelmed the crust, which was good in this case. The calabrian chiles gave it a nice kick and made the meal for me! My only issue was that they got my leftovers mixed up so when I opened them the next morning, it was not my food!

    This restaurant is located in the Ritz-Carlton at Lake Oconee. My colleague and I decided to have…read moredinner inside due to the weather, and we were so glad we chose this place. We started our meal with a few appetizers--meatballs--and initially opted for the focaccia bread. Then we changed our minds and decided to try the pizza since everyone raved about how good it was. Best decision ever. Swapping the focaccia for the pizza was absolutely worth it. pizza crust was perfectly crisp yet light, and we ordered a meat-lovers-style pizza that was absolutely delicious. We ate two slices each and had to send the rest back because we left it on the table--otherwise, we would've eaten the whole thing.At that point we were full, and we could've asked for the check, but where's the fun in that? Instead, we decided to split a pasta dish, which turned out to be the perfect portion. The pasta was delicious, the sauce was amazing, and by then we were officially too full to eat anything else. We finally asked for the check, completely satisfied. Overall, it was an amazing experience. The food was excellent, our server was wonderful, and everything was a solid 10 out of 10.

    This place has sadly gone downhill a lot. I had dinner here last night and had a pretty miserable…read moreexperience. To start, service is a new level of slow. The host are rude and misquote the wait times. Our server was friendly but EXTREMELY slow and incompetent. She came to our table a total of 4 times throughout the meal. Upon being sat, she didn't come to us for over 15 minutes and then we ordered immediately. The food genuinely took over an hour, and mind you the restaurant wasn't even busy at this point because they took so long to sit us. She kept lying about the food almost being out. Then, they brought two of the five entrees and didn't come back to the table for another 10 minutes. We could see in the open kitchen that many staff members were hooting and hollering, rather than running our food, which ended up being cold by the time it came out. Doing everything but their job. My Italian Grilled Chicken Sandwich was nothing special. I was so starving after the wait that anything would've been good, but it wasn't worth the high price tag. Other members of my party complained that their steaks were room temperature and also not as tasty as previous visits. The highlight of the meal was the S'more Desert, but that also took a VERY long time to come out. Like it came out at 10:15 PM and the restaurant closed at 10:00. The other clientele here are also very snooty and rude, which really throws off the vibe. Also PSA: They do not take cash. The waitress tried to laugh it off and didn't inform me, but just know that going in. I won't be back.

    Unfortunately, I made the mistake of coming to this restaurant on an empty stomach. I was not…read moreprepared to wait genuine hours for mid-quality food. The prices were as high as can be. After a very long wait, our server came and brought water after 15 minutes. We were already so hungry and ordered our meals immediately. Sadly, the food took over an hour to come out. In the mean time, we were parched due to our waitress NEVER coming to the table. She was so kind but so slow. I had the Steak to eat and it was quite subpar. I've had it before and it exquisite, and tonight it was terrible. The food was also very cold because it was sitting in the kitchen window for so damn long. The only redeeming quality was the Smores Dessert. However, it also took over 20 minutes to come. If you want to dine here, do NOT come hungry and block out your entire evening as you will be here for upwards of 3 hours. I hope your chair is more comfortable than mine was. You know it's bad when there's many golf to play since you'll be there for so damn long.
