Absolutely wonderful service, our server was incredibly friendly and absolutely perfect recommendations as we worked though the tapas plates. Oh, and everything we tried was next level. The atmosphere was perfect for our celebration as well. Granted, it was kid week, but there was just enough energy from the other patrons coupled with a classy casual vibe where no one seemed out of place. 10/10 will absolutely be back!

To eat, we started with the eggplant/pepper onion plate that came with a tomato base sauce. Not bad although the eggplant could've been more tender and creamy. Then, we had the grilled whole snapper, stuffed with parsley and dill and topped with slivers of sautéed garlic and lime. It came with a side of puréed tomato and olive oil. The other side was Spanish rice. Tasty overall. The service was good and the ambiance was alright. We sat outside so one of us had to face the parking lot. I wished there were higher plants to distract the eye from all the visuals that don't make it cozy and quaint. I'd definitely go back.

My prompt to my gpt this morning included "family owned, cozy place, food that hugs you like a grandma after a long time away, etc" this is one of the best places I've been in USA so far. I also woke up idealizing to only try new things and no repeats but I've already ordered a second drink haha I absolutely don't want to leave. As soon as you walk in they greet you and help you out, then the bartender (I came by myself so I sat on the bar) approached me with the most warmth and helped me getting something according to her experience and taste but considering my taste and preferences. The food came (quick for how busy it is 12 min) The food tastes just like a grandmas food that she's been working the entire day on it. I can't wait to be back here. Also I didn't have anything the entire day and couldn't finish my plate because the amount of food is way more than decent. Place is clean, music is great and volume even better, you can see families bringing their babies to enjoy meals here. Also everyone that works here and so nice and polite even if they're not serving you this is my favorite place from now on and I will not shut about it haha adding a picture of my drink (which we are repeating ) and plate that I'll be bringing the leftover home

Malory was our server, and despite having two large tables to cover, she was super friendly, very professional, and did a great job getting everyone's food and drink right and in good timing. I LOVE the variety of high-quality menu items here! There was something delicious for the pickiest of our teenage basketball players and their parents! From burgers to salads to poke nachos to beet salad, every single dish was exceptionally plated and prepared. The diner itself was spacious and well accommodated. Very pretty design with a modern touch. It was nice to couples on dates, families enjoying a nice meal, and then a large birthday group next to us. The weather was great for those seated outside. Just a wonderful place altogether!

We ordered drinks and dinner. Our server was friendly and gave honest recommendations based off what each of us were interested in eating. I can't remember what each of the other girls had, but I ordered the Grown-up Grilled Cheese with a side wedge salad. I wouldn't think of a grown up grilled cheese as having short rib in it. I would have figured it would be elevated cheeses, but who am I to say? I sounded good regardless, and it was tasty as well. I don't have any negative comments about the food, however, it didn't blow my socks off. I'd come back, but wouldn't go out of my way to drive just for this restaurant.

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.

My new favorite wine shop! After having a hard time finding a specific north Georgia wine around…read morethe Helen area, we decided to try "the big city" on our drive back to Florida on July 4th. We came across this shop doing an online search. Gave them a call and spoke to Karen, who told me they did have the wine we were looking for, but they were going to be closed most of the day, but would stick around for another hour to wait for us (!). Arriving at the store, there was a note to call Karen, and a cute Springer Spaniel staring at us through the door (!). Karen and Randall were at the store in a matter of minutes. In addition to the elusive wine we were looking for, they gave us some great suggestions on others. They were so accommodating, despite being closed for the day; they even gave us tastings (!). From talking with them and checking out their website, they also do a lot of neat community focused events. These are the types of businesses that should be frequented so they can thrive!

Hero flavors in every dish on my visit on a cold, but sunny, Tuesday in mid-March just after 5PM…read more The covered patio area was empty but staged for the impending nice weather while inside there were about 20 two-seater tables (some pushed together and in use by larger parties) as well as a bar. Over the bar was a large screen TV showing beautiful scenes of Italy, with contemporary Italian pop playing in the background. I started with the soup of the day, which was lobster bisque that was so full of lobster that I would call it a stew versus a soup. The complimentary bread was slightly toasted and topped with aromatic herbs that paired perfectly with the olive oil with which it was served. My entree was a special, and was the short rib. There was nothing "short" about it as the huge beef rib had a bone that overhung the plate that a caveman would be proud to own. The beef was fork tender and the steak knife provided with it wasn't necessary. It was paired with a delicious and sweet wine sauce. And the side was tender gnocchi (al tartufo) in a rich and creamy sauce flavored with truffle. Since they also have Risotto al Tartufo on the menu, that will definitely be on my list for my next visit. And I definitely want to bring my wife to that next visit because the flavor and food were so wonderful, it's a great place for a date night.

We had a spontaneous night out and I was in the mood for Italian. Mezza Luna has really great…read morereviews and I was excited to try something new. The restaurant is small but quaint. It was chilly went we visited, but on a nice day, the patio would be nice too. We ordered and were not in any kind of hurry. Probably a good thing, since the kitchen seemed to be very backed up and the food came out very slowly. The servers also seemed to be a little overwhelmed, so I'm wondering if the crowd was heavier than expected. Please don't take this as complaint - the service staff were very friendly and did their best to keep diners smiling. Unfortunately - the food was a little underwhelming. We ordered calamari - it was slightly over cooked and chewy. For dinner, we had the gnocchi and chicken saltimbocca. The safe in the chicken dish was overpowering (I ended up having to scrape it off) and the chicken was overcooked. It says a lot that my favorite thing on the plate was the sautéed spinach (which was delicious!). I really, really wanted to love this place, but I'm not sure I would visit again. There are too many places in this area that have much better food for the same price point.
