The most intimate restaurant space in Decatur, with exceptional food and cocktails (and the most extensive list of Amaros anywhere in Atlanta). Fish is a special focus here, and it is worth exploring the varieties and styles of preparation, from the freshest of oysters to the richest of smoked mackerel. Come for a rare Amaro, stay for one or more exquisitely prepared small plates, maybe move on to more substantial dishes. Everything will surprise and delight.
Had a spectacular coursed dinner back in May! The food was fresh, creative, delicious and beautiful. The chefs were personable and did a great job describing the dishes, preparations, and thoughts behind them. I couldn't recommend this experience enough! For the coursed dinner, you sit at the chef's counter which makes the experience very fun (because you get to watch them cook for the whole restaurant) and intimate. My absolute favorite part were the complimentary 'shots' between...read full review
Great food! Really nice vibe. If I went back I’d be more inclined to stick to the apps and small plates as those were PHENOMENAL.

Fawn Wine + Amaro is a cozy restaurant and bar with a warm, comfortable ambiance, featuring low lighting and elegant tables. It is the most intimate restaurant space in Decatur, a pleasant spot perfect for slowing down, enjoying a well-made drink, and having good conversation. The bar is a standout, with an excellent selection of thoughtfully picked wines and the most extensive list of amaro anywhere in Atlanta, all poured with care. The cocktails are really good, including the notable four amaro espresso martini. Happy hour is available on Saturdays.
The food focuses on interesting and innovative seafood dishes, and fish is a special focus here. Reviews recommend the small plates, such as the ouef mimosa soft boiled eggs, salmon belly bacon, grilled oysters, shrimp, and fritto misso. Experiences with entrees vary; while some find each dish delicious, others note that items like the fish dishes, pasta, spaghetti, fruit de mar burger, and seafood can sometimes be lukewarm, chewy, or needing more acid or heat. The chef's tasting menu offers a unique spin with multiple courses, like oysters with enoki mushrooms and a beet snack. Guests seated at the chef's counter can watch the team cook, and complimentary shots between courses are a memorable highlight.
Service is consistently described as good, relaxed, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Staff are friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, and approachable. It is a place to drink slowly and talk with friends, often leading guests to plan a return visit. Reservations are highly recommended, especially as it gets busier later in the evening.
