Fine Dining Restaurants near Buford, GA

“My husband and I decided to go on an impromptu brunch date and realized we hadn't been to Aquaterra Bistro in quite a while. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed it!

The atmosphere has a relaxed, casual feel while still feeling special enough for a date. We started with the smoked cream cheese appetizer, and it was incredible. The blackberry preserve and citrus mustard paired perfectly with the smoked cream cheese and created a combination of flavors that was absolutely delicious. Easily a 10/10 dish and something I'd order again in a heartbeat.

For our main course, we both chose the seafood omelet. We were pleasantly surprised by how generously it was filled with crab and shrimp. Combined with plenty of cheese, it was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.

Overall, it was a wonderful brunch experience with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for another date soon!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed Sidney's. It's the fine dining restaurant that accompanies the Legacy Lodge at Lake Lanier. The new head Chef came out and introduced himself after dinner and was very kind and passionate about his kitchen. The food was absolutely splendid. My filet was cooked to perfection all the way through. My wife got a seafood dish with Octopus and Shrimp and she didn't leave a bite. A++“

“I do not recommend. I went in there for a quick oyster fix but was rudely halted by the snooty hostess on duty. She didn’t try to listen and all she wanted to convey was that there were not any tables available tonight. I didn’t want a table just a couple seats at the bar. I later found out the hostess name is Caroline. I suggest some better training for the Caroline. Hostesses are supposed to be welcoming but she was the opposite. I like yalls oysters but the service is hard to overcome.“
