Conveniently located on the first floor of Hotel Indigo. They have a very nice outdoor seating area. The breakfast was very good. I enjoyed a croissant sandwich.

Clay Leverete and his team do an awesome job. We enjoy the bar and restaurant when we come to Athens!

I can't rate the food because my order never came. I inquired three separate times but no entree. Finally, as they were passing out to-go boxes to everyone else I was asked if I wanted them to box my entree for take home. I told them to just cancel the order. I had already waited 45 minutes and we were preparing to have dessert.The meeting room was small and offered no privacy as it opens to the bar area. Everyone passing through could hear our birthday celebration. There was a curtain to separate the room but it was kept open the entire time. The two servers were very good but just couldn't get the food out. Despite me asking three times for my entree, they kept saying "it's coming". It was overall a bad experience. I will never come here again. We will plan future events where they are experienced with parties of 12. The menu is simple bar food (sandwiches, salads, and only 1-2 dinner entrees) so I'm not sure what the problem was. The manager offered no explanation, she just comped my half salad. Had to find dinner on the way home.

Parking: Have to park across the street. No onsight parking except for registered guests.

Slow does not begin to describe the service. One hour wait for nacho’s and a salad! Certainly not because they are busy. Don’t come here if you’re in a hurry.

Have visited a few times while staying at the Indigo. Waitstaff extremely friendly and accommodating at breakfast and bar (never tried dinner here). Breakfast always quick and perfectly cooked to order! Valencia this morning was particularly spectacular--anticipated our coffee needs, bright and shiny disposition with an easy manner and welcoming smile! You are excellent at what you do! Hospitality personified! Thank you very much for the great start!

Entree was honestly terrible. Overpriced for the taste of a sirloin. Waited over an hour as the only table sitting there. Would not recommend.

The service was amazing both nights. On the first evening Faith our server was pleasant, welcoming, and all very attentive. She from the start made the first time being there a great time. The bar tender Dalyn (on both nights) was amazing & did a great job. Only disappointment was waiting so long to finally check them out. Will definitely be back a lot. Keep up the outstanding work

One of the best, if not THE best appetizers in Athens.

Have the porkchop! Best porkchop I have ever tasted, the hamburger was incredible too! Great Bartending

This is a hidden secret at Hotel Indigo-lobby level. Great bar staff, excellent apps, and specialty drinks, plus a unique menu prepared expressly by Rusty Krueger. Grab a drink and sit on patio!
