We ate here during a weekend visit to UGA. It was by far the best meal we had the entire visit. The atmosphere was great, the waitress and staff were excellent, and the food was soooo good! The croissants were melt-in-your-mouth flaky goodness. I would come here everyday just for those! Filets, salmon, mashed potatoes and even the Caesar salad was all amazing. I had two fish-bowl margaritas, and omg they were so tasty, and were only $7 each. And this wasn’t during happy hour....

I brought 2 of my girl friends with me this time and they loved it too! We had wine and steak dinners with salads and loaded baked potatoes. Our server, Ryan and the manager were both very nice. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and of course we had a basket of the melt in your mouth drizzled honey pecan croissants. Those are always the highlight of coming there! I forgot to get some to go! But I will next time. Thank you!

First, if you have a large group they have a sign they won't seat groups of 12 or more together (we were a party of 11 and missed the sign). They did finally accommodate, but we almost left (because they weren't really busy) due to them splitting us into 2 groups at tables that couldn't be rearranged. Once seated, we had an excellent waitress and the food was good. I highly recommend the fried mushrooms & horseradish sauce. Cheese fries (with bacon and ranch)...
