“When we lived in Cumming over 9 years ago, we came to Aqua Terra occasionally and loved it. Then we moved to Alpharetta and it was too far away, so we haven't visited for that long. We're moving to Auburn and after a walk through at our new home, decided to come back to try it again to see if it was a good as we remembered. I'm happy to say that it is, and we'll be coming back again since we're close. The food and service is excellent. The bread and dipping sauce which they're known for was exactly as we remembered it and is so delicious. I would come for that alone. I'm so happy that they're still around and seem to be thriving, and we'll definitely be back!“

“We enjoyed an outstanding dinner at Antebellum. The food was inventive yet stayed “Southern” to the core. Extremely flavorful. Wide variety of unique cocktails. Prices are steep but not unexpected for this level of food and service. Our server Evan was so helpful in both food and wine/ cocktail choices, and very attentive. Lovely setting in an old home. Relaxing decor. Busy since it was a Saturday evening but the noise floor was not outrageous and noticed they have noise dampening panels on the ceiling. If we are ever back in the area we'll dine her again!“

“5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely loved the authentic American breakfast vibe here! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed morning. One of the things I care about most is fresh, truly fresh orange juice, and they serve exactly that—freshly squeezed and delicious. The food is tasty, the service is friendly, and the overall experience feels genuine and cozy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a real breakfast spot with great quality and a refreshing start to the day.“
