    The raw bar is a centerpiece of this menu, so that's what we came for. I ordered a dozen raw…read moreoysters. They arrived smelling strongly of old fish, with a slimy film across them. Because I didn't want to be unfair, I tasted one before saying anything -- my sense of smell wasn't the problem. I sent them back. A second dozen was brought out with assurances that these were fresh. They were not. Identical smell, identical film. I tasted one of those too, for the same reason. Identical result. At that point the kitchen tried to make things right by sending out fried oysters, apparently to prove the product was fine. The smell of old fish coming off that plate was overwhelming before it reached the table. I didn't eat it. I left dinner having consumed a few fries off my dinner partner's plate, and we went home and ate there. I want to be fair: the staff were pleasant and clearly trying to recover the situation. But the recovery was the wrong one. When a customer sends back raw shellfish because it smells spoiled and confirms it by taste, the answer is to pull the oysters from service and check the rest of the batch -- not to plate a second dozen from the same source, and certainly not to fry them and send them back out. Spoiled raw shellfish is a genuine health risk, and it was served to me twice. One more observation. At 7pm on a Friday night, we were the only guests in the entire dining room. An empty room and product this far past its prime tend to be related problems. The one unqualified bright spot (hence 2 stars vs one): the guitarist. He was genuinely excellent -- great player, great song selection, and the only reason the evening wasn't a total loss. I hope he finds a venue that matches the quality he's bringing. I won't be back, and I'd skip the raw bar here entirely.

    Looking for a group activity that's anything but ordinary? Showdown Social might be one of Metro…read moreAtlanta's most unique nights out. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it ended up being a really fun twist on game night. Instead of everyone trying to remember the rules or arguing over whose turn it is, your Game Host handles everything so your group can just relax, compete, and have fun. The RFID-powered gaming tables make classics like Spades, Hearts, Uno, and Mafia feel surprisingly interactive, and the personalized video highlights afterward were a nice touch. We also loved that food and drinks are served right to your table, so there's no need to pause the games. If your group wants even more to do, they also have pool, darts, and FIFA World Cup watch parties through July 19. Like if your friend group gets competitive! A few highlights: * Interactive RFID-powered gaming tables * Dedicated Game Host who runs every game * Food and drinks delivered to your table * Pool and darts * Personalized game highlight videos * Open Play for singles, couples, and small groups * Great for birthdays, date nights, bachelor and bachelorette parties, team outings, and celebrations * FIFA World Cup watch parties through July 19 Save this for your next Metro Atlanta night out. If you're looking for a date night, birthday idea, team outing, or just something different to do with friends, this is definitely worth checking out.

    While the food and ambiance were enjoyable, the bar service was a total disappointment that ruined…read morethe experience. ​Severe Neglect: We were left waiting 30 minutes twice--once for initial drinks and again for dessert--after staff completely forgot about us. ​Poor Assumptions & Communication: The bartender assumed we already had drinks simply because we moved from a table, and later blamed loud music for failing to comprehend our drink orders. ​Unprofessional Staff: When we tried to order dessert, a floor server rudely refused to help and insisted we track down the bartender instead. The server with the pink frame glasses bright down the image of this place. Definitely not coming again.

    It's been a while since my husband and I have been up here, and with patio season and summer…read more(almost officially) here, we thought this would be a great time to revisit! We ordered the deviled eggs appetizer, my husband ordered the crab cakes, and I ordered the lettuce wraps app as my main. The crab cakes were really good (I had a bite or two), and the buns were unexpected but delicious! The lettuce wraps were also very good, but honestly not what I thought a lettuce wrap would be. I've seen other pictures of them that were much more traditional finger food for brunch, so not sure if they changed them entirely or if this is just dinner version. Tasty, but obviously not for picking up... it would be tricky to wrap them up in that tiny piece of lettuce and I did not want to get dripped on with the sauce. So, if knife and fork lettuce wraps were a thing - this would be it! I think the bib lettuce makes it hard as it's so frail and flimsy, so if I had any suggestions, maybe it would be to try wrapping them from a head of lettuce for a bigger, more firm piece of lettuce. Dessert was a strawberry shortcake. Nice finish to a richly flavored dinner. My husband asked for an espresso and it came in a huge mug. Not sure if this is standard, or if they ran out of demitasse cups. Service was more attentive on front end, but less as they got busy and our server got more tables. I asked another server for water refill and then a manager brought us a dessert menu since our server disappeared. He showed up with the check and we had to tell him we wanted dessert. We made reservation through open table and got seated immediately. When we left, the little lobby area was packed so we definitely went at the right time. I think the servers were getting a little overwhelmed (and I cannot blame them). Still a great view and worth the hassle of finding parking in downtown Alpharetta.

    My wife and I were in Alpharetta meeting a friend for dinner, but she first suggested that we bar…read morehop a little bit, and Up On The Roof was our first stop. It was warm outside and warm = rooftop bar. It was the start of a great night. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located in downtown Alpharetta on South Main Street. The restaurant sits on the fifth floor of an office building. There is no parking directly by the building, however there is free street parking as well as a deck that is free and is a few minutes walk. If you can, I would recommend taking the walk so you're able to see all of the other shops and restaurants and enjoy the live music that's sure to be playing. Venue and Atmosphere When you walk in you're automatically greeted by the hostess. If you are going on a weekend I absolutely would recommend having a reservation, especially if you want to sit outside. We did not, so it was essentially every woman for themselves. In addition to the tables, there were some couches that were first come first served. We lucked up and a woman was leaving and gave us her table. Food and drinks Since this was our first stop we didn't want to fill up too much. We ordered the charcuterie board, which served as a good snack. I ordered their old fashioned made with Knob Creek, my wife had a cider, and our friend has one of their IPA's. Service Service was decent, considering there was a lot going on. With my friend's IPA they were changing the keg and it actually took a while for that to happen, but our server gave my friend another drink at no charge to make up for that fact, which was a nice touch. Verdict I'm not in Alpharetta much, but the next time I am, I'll definitely stop through for a drink and the view. If you're in the area stop on in! Until next time!
