The service was great our waitress was awesome. The grit balls were good and I'm not a grit fan. The kids meals were nicely sized. The veggie burger was great, the burgers were great and cooked to exact desired temperature and my grilled chicken was so delicious and flavorful. I got mine on a gluten free bun and it was nice and soft. The sweet potato fries were delicious and honestly I was so surprised that they had sour cream for me to dip it in. The prices were good as well. 4 people got soda or tea and one got a beer. The total was around 120$ I would absolutely go back.

The host said it was to celebrate the spring season since they did a apres ski theme during the winter. So festive. Okay so boom, we came here on a whim since we were going to a concert in the area later that evening. Surprisingly it wasn't busy for a Saturday which I expected it to be. Unfortunately though they had upcoming reservations so we weren't able to sit in the main room. We sat in their second dining room which was off to the side but still decorated. Our service was still good and the waiter was very attentive. For apps, we got the She Crab soup. I would've preferred for the crab meat to be sprinkled on top vs. in the soup but nonetheless it was still delicious. Super fresh!! Omg. I even contemplated on switching my entree to the stuffed grouper to get some more crab meat. I ended up getting the Shrimp scampi which was a great choice. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint with the shrimp. 6 jumbo pieces. Omg. The entree was done pretty well and it was just the right portion size. If we had more time, I would've ordered their toffee bread pudding or the honey crème brulee but that's all the more reason to come back. Oh and order the It was all a dream cocktail. It tastes like vanilla. Done to perfection.

This was my first visit, but my friend had been before and couldn't wait to bring me. Now I completely understand why. From the moment we pulled up, the valet parking set the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful experience. It's such a nice touch and instantly made the visit feel special. Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. Every bite was flavorful, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What made the experience even better was discovering the spa next door after brunch. We took a peek, and now we're already planning our next visit--a relaxing spa day followed by another amazing dinner. It's always exciting to find a place that feels like a little getaway without leaving home. If you're looking for great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, complimentary valet parking, and a sophisticated vibe right here in Athens, this spot deserves a visit. We left already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!

Even for an early spring evening in Athens, the heaters were positioned perfectly and kept us comfortable the entire time.

My wife ordered chicken masala ( which to my understanding tends to be grilled chicken) but came out fried and doesn't say that on the menu.

Other family members ordered spaghetti, surf and turf, and another dish I can't remember.

I…read moreloved the atmosphere and had a great time at the bar while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. The bartender and drinks were amazing, and the bacon appetizer was incredible! We enjoyed the Pearberry which was light and delicious, as well as the Japanese Old Fashioned which my partner thoroughly enjoyed. Although the price for bacon seemed hefty, it's almost a slab instead of slice of bacon. It's a solid portion and very thick and deliciously coated in a sticky sweet sauce that we enjoyed. We were having a great time and were in great spirits but it took a turn once we were seated for the dining portion of the experience.. I think our experience came from the person manning the meats, who in our opinion doesn't know proper temp checks. We ordered multiple filets, ribeyes, and a tomahawk at our table of 5 and every single one was under. We asked for medium and medium rare throughout our table, but they all arrived severely underdone. The tomahawk was the biggest disappointment, when you pay a hefty price, you expect better results.. but it was raw, because rare doesn't even really describe it. We are not the type to make a fuss, so we just ate our steaks and asked for sauce to make them palatable. The flavor was there but it was very subtle, it could used a bit more seasoning. We relied heavily on the sides and our prior experience at the bar to keep spirits up. The reason this review isn't worse is because regardless of our dining experience, our bar experience was superior and I'd go back strictly for that. I would try it again to see if the cook has gotten better but not for a while.

Nice steakhouse menu, no surprises..all the regulars are there. Opted for the ribeye. All of their steaks come with a choice of potato and the rest of the sides are à la cart. Service was a bit slow but good. Kind of on the smaller side on the interior, but I liked that. Still felt like I had plenty of room with my party. Paid about $330 for party of 5. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

Slaters is insane. So so good and even better than the last time I came…read more Ambiance: very nice interior and feels like a classic steakhouse with some UGA flair. Service: The service was amazing. My server Madison was so sweet to us for graduation and made sure we were well taken care of. When I got the baked Alaska for dessert she redid the flambé because she felt like it wasn't as good as she hoped. I felt like that was over the top great customer service. I also never had to ask for water as the waitstaff always made sure we were topped off. Food: The steaks were fantastic. We got the filet with fries, ribeye with mashed potatoes, rolls, and Brussels sprouts. Steaks were excellent of course and rolls were so soft and fluffy. When I came a year and a half ago, I thought the mashed potatoes were way too buttery and the duck fat Brussels sprouts were way too meaty. This time around the mashed potatoes were perfect and the Brussels sprouts recipe is new as it is a balsamic reduction with Parmesan which were fantastic. Overall this was a great dining experience but definitely a place to come on a nicer occasion or celebration due to price. My entire experience was 10/10 and so sad to be graduating because I don't know the next time I'll be back to Slaters.

The in-house Sourdough bread was very good. - B+ The Peach Burrata was really good, except for the peaches (but I am not a fan of peaches). I really enjoyed the flavor of the cheese and tomatoes. - A The Mushroom Risotto was bomb! Only thing I would change is add more mushrooms (but I am a super mushroom fan). - A+ Lastly, the Brussel Sprouts, they were seasoned perfectly and my partner stated they were the best he's ever had. - A+ Everything here is served in shareable portions. The night we went there was live music. The ambience is romantic and eccentric. Staff is polite and willing to take pictures of you, and give you hints of the best backgrounds. I highly recommend Community Brew & Tap.

As soon as you step through the doors into the corridor, it's like you're transported into the big city. It has an old Hollywood feel with gorgeous modern crystal light fixtures, the natural charm of wood paneling, and beautiful marble columns. A fully stocked bar sits behind the barista; I could only imagine the hustle and bustle of the restaurant at night as he took our order. And the wine vault is a true spectacle to behold: imagine a bank vault filled to the absolute brim full of the most delicious wine! We will have to go back for dinner for sure! Anyway, I'm veering off course! The man behind the counter was so friendly, and we ended up sharing a mutual love for carrot cake! I ordered a Dirty Chai Tea Latte, a carrot cake muffin, and a lemon poppyseed scone because when in Rome right?! The carrot cake muffin was pretty much the stuff of dreams. It tasted rich and delicious while still not being overly sweet. The lemon poppyseed was good, but I had trouble finding the lemon flavor. The dirty chai was absolute perfection though. The perfect balance of coffee with the slight sweetness of the chai. Plus it looked beautiful when it came out major bonus points! As you all know, the most important thing I look for when choosing a restaurant to eat at is its health score, and this place nails it because it currently has a 100 A! If you have a chance to visit the cafe, please do. You will not be disappointed. The service is top notch, and the food and drinks are delish! We will definitely be visiting during restaurant hours soon, and I'll make sure to update with my review! In the meantime, if you see me noshing on a pastry there, feel free to say hello!
