    Had high expectation as i love Heirloom BBQ and Spring received Michelin but this is a miss for me. Food looks very traditional Korean but flavor is odd and ingredients were lacking. None of the sides were good, egg souffle was salty, and sundubu barely had any tofu. Only dish that I liked out of all the dishes ordered was the kalguksu but nothing outstanding that I would go back. I can see that the target market are people that are looking for Korean food in Marrietta as it is scarce.

    I was craving Soon Dubu on a rainy day & couldn't be more satisfied. We got Chives pancake, Dubu bibimbap & Soon Dubu w/ mushrooms. Everything including the banchan was delicious.

    I'd been hearing great things about Spring 2nd Branch, so my partner and I stopped by on Saturday. The staff was friendly and seated us toward the center of the spacious dining room. The space isn't filled with traditional Korean décor. Instead, it has a humble, modern, almost minimal vibe. We ordered Haemul Pajeon ($17.99) for our appetizer. My main entree was the Jeyuk Bokkeum ($25.99), and my partner chose the Seolleongtang ($18.99). The Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork with lettuce wraps) was one of the better versions I've had in Atlanta. The sauce had great flavor (but it wasn't spicy), the pork was tender, and the fresh lettuce came with jalapeño and garlic slices that made each wrap taste delicious! I do wish the pork was coated in a spicier sauce though. The Seolleongtang (a milky ox-bone broth with somyeon noodles and beef) was creamy and comforting, with tender pieces of brisket and shank. The Haemul Pajeon (a seafood and veggie pancake) arrived when we were almost done with our main entrees, which we didn't mind. It was much thicker than other pajeons we've tried and packed with vegetables. The edges had a nice crunch. The dipping sauce was too salty, so we mostly enjoyed the pancake on its own. Overall, we liked Spring 2nd Branch. The prices are on par with the Korean restaurants in Duluth. Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, we'd consider coming back and trying more dishes the next time we're in Marietta.

    Kimchi, beef and pork dumplings. Well made but the kimchi took over so I didn't really taste the meet at all.

    Great customer service, food was interesting and delicious, it was a nice chill vibe. I would come again. 3 minute walk to Marietta square.

    So glad I was able to finally try Spring 2nd Branch! I enjoyed the Dubu Dolsot Bibimbap. My meal came with banchan that is served first. My server was amazing and went above and beyond answering all my questions, she was very knowledgeable of the menu & personable.

Instead of a simple hello or being asked how many were in our party, the first thing we heard was, "Can I help you?" It felt off and honestly made me uncomfortable, like we didn't belong. We had driven an hour, and it was my fiancé's birthday, so I chose to shake it off and not let it set the tone. We ordered the Seacuterie Board and the Crab Cocktail, and both were really good. The seafood was super fresh and flavorful, and the vegetables were crisp. Our favorite Seacuterie items were the smoked trout spread, mussels, and smoked salmon. I was pleasantly surprised by the pickled figs. I'd never had them before, but they're now one of my favorites. They add the perfect balance of texture and saltiness to each bite. The tuna was our least favorite. It was pretty much flavorless compared to everything else. Overall, it was a good experience, aside from the awkward start.

We ordered two appetizers, including the shrimp and crab fondue, and my son found a bug in the fondue. At that point, we immediately stopped eating. The manager came over, apologized, and said she would have another one prepared which we appreciated but we weren't sure if we even wanted it. We had to make a fast decision if we would leave or stay, but since it was Friday We honestly considered leaving, but we were starving and didn't feel like going somewhere else, so we stayed. However, after that, we were really surprised that there was very little follow-up from the manager, no effort from management the attempt to recover the experience. Our server, Skye, was very apologetic and did what she could, but overall the customer service from management was extremely disappointing. At Pappadeaux's price point, finding a bug in your food is already unacceptable, but the lack of proper service recovery made it worse. This should have been handled very differently, and quite frankly, the entire meal should have been compensated. What happened to making sure guests actually have a good dining experience? We chose not to escalate things in the moment, but I can say confidently that I will not be returning to this location. I would strongly encourage others to double-check their food.

Due to the openness of the dining room, it is on the louder side making it difficult to talk with folks not sitting directly next to order across from one another. Service was very good, attentive, and frirfriendly. My wife and I both had ceasar salad, filet medium rare, and strawberry topped cheesecake. For sides we had asparagus and mashed potatoes. The sides wete quite good, the best part of our meals. The salad was okay though the dressing was on the more bland side and fresh ground pepper helped its flavor profile quite a bit. For a restaurant calling itself a "chophouse" and supposedly upscale, you would think they would know how to cook a steak or use a better quality steak. Our filets were cooked to proper temperature but lacked any taste of salt or seasoning and lacked any searing on the outside. The meat was chewy rather than tender and made us wonder "what's so special about this place" where parking availability is also a challenge!? So you would think dessert would be hard to mess up, but our cheesecake was nothing special at all. We've had better tasting Sara Lee cheesecake from the supermarket; definitely below expectation. We'll consider giving it another try, but at their prices there are so many other tried and true steakhouse we much prefer.

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.

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.

Overall, it was a really good experience with plenty of flavorful food and great service. We ordered three different boil bags: one with shrimp, another with Dungeness crab and mussels, and a third with shrimp and lobster tail. On top of that, we also ordered regular calamari, Cajun calamari, fried okra, 12-piece lemon pepper wings, and steamed oysters. Most of the food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The boil bags were definitely the highlight. The shrimp, crab, and lobster were cooked well, and the seasoning on the boils was great. The calamari, wings, and fried okra were also solid and perfect for sharing. The only major disappointment was the oysters. Unfortunately, they were some of the worst oysters I've had. They were barely steamed and almost felt raw, and the seasoning mixture on top was not good at all. We ended up sending them back, and they were removed from our bill, which I appreciated. For drinks, I ordered a strawberry cocktail that usually comes with Ketel One vodka, but we asked for Tito's instead. After drinking it, I'm not completely sure the switch was actually made, and it also wasn't listed on the receipt. What really stood out was the service. Our server was very kind, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The food came out in a timely manner, and everything was served hot. For all the food we ordered, the total came out to a little over $150, which felt very reasonable considering the amount of food. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again. I just won't be ordering the oysters next time, and I wouldn't recommend them.
