I’ve always enjoyed eating here until my last experience. The food, as usual, was great. However, the service needs improvement. We made reservations for 9:45pm and ended up getting there early, seated immediately. We had two appetizers, two entrees and dessert. The entire process was so rushed from the time we were seated. I was still eating my entree when the server asked what I wanted for dessert. Considering a meal that is $100+ a person, it would be nice not to be rushed out. First time this has happened and we’ve previously had reservations around the same time.
Great service, food and atmosphere! My partner and I ordered 'cacio e pepe ravioli', the 'duck lasagna', and the tiramisu. Everything was incredible and we definitely want to come back

Absolutely incredible - loved everything about our experience here. The pastas can be ordered as appetizer sizes so we opted to pick 3 and share, such a good decision…the duck lasagna is a must have. The cheesecake was really tasty as well!
I had a wonderful time dining at the bar. The staff were attentive and the food was next level. But honestly, my favorite part was watching the head chef come out and select music from his vinyl collection to play on the turntable for the restaurant.

Decided to celebrate my birthday with dinner here, and it did not disappoint. The staff is extremely welcoming, the food is delicious, and the decor is very pretty. It does get fairly dark in the evening, but other than that, I felt well cared for and would dine here again.
Overall the take home message is "overpriced". The restaurant is really nice and the atmosphere is lovely. They have a nice natural wine selection. For the food, it's good, I can't rate lower than 3 but is it worth the price? Absolutely not. Our total came at a whooping $230 (alcohol excluded) for a bread and butter, 2 appetizer and two main pastas. At some point you have to stop the madness, a pasta dish should be nowhere near $40 and over, this is nonsense. Pastas were good, cooked well but this is not worth the price. I also think, at least for restaurants of that scale, bread and butter should come for free. This is a standard all over Europe and I don't care if you flavor the butter with whatever, you don't need to make an extra $10 on your customers for that. Finally, the service was rushy. Pushed the food while we were still enjoying the cocktail. Asked if they could open the wine early, well yes of course, but then had us taste it immediately (no I can't really make an informed decision while my mouth is numb from the whiskey), then poured it immediately. Then, she just refilled our wine with huge pours delivered as if she was serving Snoop Dog prisoner wine at a frat party. For $440 total, I'd rather go to Staplehouse or Bacchanalia, and pay even more, at least I would get something that match the cost.

Good food, poor service. Sat at the bar and was hardly acknowledged. My drink was made incorrectly (wrong drink) but what was made did taste ok (whiskey sour), I asked for amaretto sour. A couple of guys that came after me and sat right next to me was acknowledged and got served before me; they were even offered their choices of water. I was simply given what I assume to be tap water (didn't try it); I prefer sparkling water which I did eventually get once I captured the bartenders attention.
Food tasted good but was lukewarm. Got the wagyu beef and black truffle ravioli and the wood grilled mushrooms which came recommended from the person who told me about this place. Also got the lemon cheesecake to go.
Atmosphere was ok, place has potential only if the service improves. However, I more than likely will not return; I'll stick to The Consulate.

great server, after my guest wanted to try another wine he asked a few questions and got her a winner on the first try. He was warm and friendly and efficient and knew we were going to the Fox and brought our check quickly. We had the Carpaccio, the tuna crudo, the scallop app and a snapper entree. The ingredients were singing! Very thoughtful use of the food and adding just enough to enhance them without overpowering them. Absolutely will be back and I will be getting two of the scallop apps! rh and sy

The food here was fabulous, but the service was BAD. 5+ minutes for a server to acknowledge our table, 10 minutes more for a drink order where drinks came out wrong. The dining room was cramped and loud, and we were seated next to a HUGE pillar that made it impossible for staff to stand in front of our table. As dinner went on, service continued to be slow/non existent - empty drinks, etc. The food was really great, but the poor service will keep us from coming back.

I gotta say - the food is really good. So, worth it for that.
HOWEVER, from the get go you felt like you were in the South. We ordered the pasta odyssey which is 5 courses for each person. We were there for a total of 3 hours because it took (legit) 25-30 mins per course to arrive. No indication of why it would take so long or any form of apology to the fact. We got one drink comped but that’s because the server didn’t get our first drinks until we had to remind her of them 30 mins later. Also, as a DISCLAIMER, the menu does not indicate that it is a per person price vs. the rest of the menu which is per dish.
We came here for our anniversary and honestly it was a disappointing overall experience.
First time in Atlanta and I gave Lyla Lila a shot. Incredible. Highly recommend the pasta odyssey; portions were generous for a tasting style menu and not a single dish disappointed. Bartenders knew the menu front to back and put out some excellent drinks.
