“The service was superb and the food came out quickly. The food was delicious. We enjoyed three dips, meatballs, the chicken entree, the hamburger, and the salmon. All fantastic with lots of flavor. Will return.“

“We ordered Thanksgiving dinner from Secreto! It was over the top! So well done! Love this restaurant and highly recommend!“

“The place was very cute and fun. The hostess was great and pleasant upon arriving. We didn’t make any rsvp on a Wednesday night. At first I was a bit confused if we need to or not. We went ahead and went anyways. Lucky they did accept walk in. The bartender was awesome! The only thing I wish they had was a small appetizer of food because we got a bit tipsy after couple drinks in. That food would have helped a bit. But overall amazing experience!“

“Man, what a sandwich! The menu choices aren’t super out there, but neither are they what you’re expecting. Fun and damn delicious!

The seating is adorable and tidy. The staff was friendly and efficient. Avondale’s lucky to have this place.“

“Great tacos, even better empanadas, and superb margaritas!!! Cute lil spot on the beltline and had fun at Beyonce trivia night!!“

“Dominique was our waitress and was so knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and made great recommendations. Food was amazing, it had good flavor and steaks were very tender. The only thing that didn’t make sense is the dress code considering one hostess has visible tattoos (girl power) and another one had on a midriff-shirt.“

“First time there last night for a night cap date. We love the atmosphere and the decor is breathtaking. So many drink options. which is great. I look forward to returning in the future. I'll try the bar snacks next visit. Thank you for great customer service and the experience.“

“Came here to kick off my best friends bachelorette and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing, Frannie was our server and she was excellent even took the time to memorize all of our names. We all ordered different plates so that we could share and try everything and every single thing we ordered was delicious. The duck deserves an honorable mention, it was cooked to literal perfection. The cocktails were delicious as well. Atmosphere was very neat. We will definitely be back!“

“The Best Smoked Scotch Old Fashioned I've ever had. Thanks Jay!“

“10/10! Me and my husband enjoyed everything about this place. The servers, the atmosphere, the food and the drinks. We will be back when in ATL.“

“Went to this place wanting to love it which speaks a good bit for how big of a letdown it was. Night started out great host was super friendly came to pick us up from 9 mile station, once got in the bar god first round of drinks and that's where it started to go south. First round was fine no issues, ordered second round and it took almost an hour to get drinks, so once second round came out went ahead and ordered third knowing how long it was taking (was told bar was backed up due to a bachelor party that showed up of 5 or 6 people and there was probably only 20-30 people in the bar so didn't really make sense given the number of people on staff) second round I had heard about how the bartenders will make you a drink based off your taste which was the main appeal to this place ,so first drink was a maple old fashion, so second drink I told them I wanted to get something else based off maple.....they served me the exact same drink with a different brand of rye but added a $3 freestyle upcharge....finally had enough waiting after 2 and a half hours and only getting 3 or 4 drinks and actually went up to the bar to ask for the check since had gotten really burnt out on long wait times and the long stretches of I just want another drink....overall last drink was by far the best and would have liked another but the speed of the service at that point had totally killed the mood. Place 100% does not match the vibe they are trying to present so highly recommend going elsewhere which is sad because loved the concept“

“It’s small but intimate, almost like a speakeasy. The drinks are incredible and the bartenders know their stuff!“

“Nice atmosphere, excellent service“

“The Best all around! Food, atmosphere, service, all The Best!“

“Pleasant and professional staff from beginning to end. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is soulful and peaceful, calming. Although extremely busy, the Chef stopped by our table for a brief moment. Sir Christian Bell "Chef Lucke", what a pleasure; he is an exceptional young man. Thank you for making my birthday, a wonderful day with family, friends, food and fellowship, end on a very high note ! Our Rating: 5 Stars Plus! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (+ ) Our Recommendation: We recommend Oreatha's at the Point very highly, without hesitation or reservation.

“Live nearby and finally decided to walk over and give it a try. Had the Sunday fish special gumbo and I have to say, the rue was the most flavorful I've ever had! I've been to New Orleans several times and never had gumbo as complex and smooth as this.

The people were friendly and relaxed. Small neighborhood gem for sure.“

“This bar is such a vibe! The decor is awesome - pieces from a local church that was burned down, blessed by monks. Very comfortable vibe with amazing cocktails. Our bartender Adam was incredibly knowledgeable and made amazing cocktails. James, the GM, came by and gave us more details about the history of the spot and decor. I would have never guessed they’ve been open for a week. Highly recommend checking it out for at least a cocktail or two!“

“My first time here and it was a great experience. The owner was kind and patient, entertaining my million questions about the menu. He let me sample the chicken curry, goat curry, & even the fish & eggplant fish dish he made for staff lunch. The curry was delicious but too spicy for my tolerance level. I got the lamb kabab kati roll, garlic teriyaki wings & fried rice (lunch special), & vegetable samosa. Everything was made to order so it's hot and fresh. The kati roll was like a foot long. The flavor wasn't what I'm used to but I still inhaled it so no pics. I was too full to eat the rest. My only complaint is how hot and small the place was so it's not ideal for dine-in. Come with an open mind if you never had Deshi food before.“

“2nd Visit: Aug 2024 AMAZING. Food, Service, and Staff. It rained, but that did not stop or prevent the stellar experience! Very glad to have returned.“

“Ever since I started watching my new favorite show, Evil, and saw Kristen constantly drinking canned margaritas, I’ve been looking for the perfect one. All the margaritas I found were full of soda water, malt liquor or sugar - Except Post Meridiem. Their margaritas have three ingredients (silver tequila, real lime juice, orange curaçao, and zero sugar/sweeteners). I immediately ordered three packs online. Since I received them, I have drank one of these tiny cans of perfection every single night after work, and I’m about to order a case and start trying out some of the other drinks I have read rave reviews about. Can we talk about these amazing cans?!? They are steel-walled (recyclable), sturdy and the most beautiful design. The can completely elevates the experience. I plan to have these cocktails around all summer and will pack them when we go on vacation. They are even perfect for sticking in your purse to go to the movie theater. I’m a former bartender (and working mom) and am happy to say I’m done buying bottles of liquor, liqueurs, bitters, mixers, etc.
Post Meridiem: Please create a loyalty program to earn points for discounts, offer free shipping with 4 packs, or case discounts. And create a Negroni (w/ London gin) and a good dirty martini. Thank you.“

“Lots of great art to look at on all 3 floors, cozy spaces to sit and enjoy the mocktails, and ambiance is on point. Mocktails are very flavorful but a little pricey, I spent 20 bucks (after automatic tip) on 1 drink. Other neighborhood bars serving alcohol are cheaper. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Food, Cocktails Bartenders and cool DJs“

“I love love this restaurant. I was at the bar and Gill was so awesome. He made my experience a 10/10. The lamb kabob is to die for. The price is very reasonable. Can't wait to visit again. Shout out to Gill at the bar (hope I spelled his name right)“

“Amazing Food!“

“Perfect Latin fusion fair with creative dishes. Yummy starters include ceviche with passion fruit sauce, empanadas, guacamole and sautéed scallops. Excellent main dishes halibut, herb crusted lamp chops and filet. Healthy options available for vegetarians too! Great salads. Servers and fire dancers were an added bonus because they were fun and very friendly/helpful. (Managers could be friendlier.) Overall restaurant ambiance beautiful and eclectic. $25 fee for bringing our own birthday cake a bit ridiculous! Parking convenient $4 Parking fee expected but offers convenience to customers. Our total experience for party of 8 was amazing!“

“I joined my friends for dinner.Though the potatoes were dry and clearly overcooked, the pan seared red snapper was awesome!!! The decor was breathtaking and the service was prompt. Courtney knew the menu and gave some recommendations. This is a perfect restaurant for date night! I will revisit soon.“

“Great location if you live in the neighborhood or one of the neighboring areas. Parking is limited, so if you can uber, walk or take transit it is recommended. The bartenders are great! They can make pretty much anything with a broad selection of bitters, mixers and fruits at their disposal. They can't make lychee martinis though, but that was a rare ask anyway.

The food is delicious. They are all elevated childhood favorites. The meatloaf sandwich and bologna sandwich are my absolute favorites.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are very limited. Everything has some type of cheese or meat included in the dish. However, you are able to remove some of them since the items are made to order.

Parking: Very limited onsite parking. Better to park in the neighborhood if you drive to the bar.“

“So many great options. I like sandwiches and order Meatball Parm, White Stripes or Muffalleta often. Fig salad and eggplant parm are special treats. Snickerdoodles can solve world problems.“

“Good night out with my bestie!“

“Really cool tucked away bar along the belt line in Atlanta! Heard about this place online and had to go while in town for a couple days. Was in a cool, happening area and loved that it was tucked away in a brewery. They had a DJ going (chill vibes) and the cocktails were great. Very swanky spot! Only downside is they close super early for a bar and it was freezing inside.“

“My fiancé and I are regulars at McCray’s formerly the Baxter. The food is very good. The salmon and Buffalo sandwich are our go tos. Atmosphere is great there are tons of TVs to watch any game you can imagine. We love the servers Kenny and Mary and they always take great care of us! However, we don’t like the new outdoor seating QR code ordering. The food comes out slow/wrong this way. And also we enjoy the live music they often have but it’s usually WAY too loud like can’t even hear someone sitting next to you.“

“I'm a photographer who loves hidden gems and this place is such a great hangout spot! I 100% recommend getting the strong lemonade drink they have to offer. Heather was on her 3rd day bartending and she hooked us up with this amazing red sweetener liquor that made the drink perfect. Thanks Heather!“

“I have lived in Atlanta many years, and never thought about eating at this fine establishment. I am so glad I did. Our waiter was very attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was amazing, the Miso Sea Bass was amazing.“

“Had a wonderful experience with my husband at Bread & Butterfly this morning/afternoon for brunch! Food was amazing, atmosphere was inviting and service was impeccable!!! Highly recommend this restaurant and even got to talk directly with the owner/head chef Bill! If you are in the area or even if not make the drive, it will be well worth it!!! Neighborhood where it is located, Inman Park, is very nice as well with lots of walk-ability and less than 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, so make it a day or weekend trip.“
