“Yummy flavors of Italian Ice! Really nice young man with great service who waited on us. His parents should be very proud ❤️.“

“Exceptional food and service plus our fury friends can sit outside.“

“Small but yummy…we ate there two days in a row!“

“Will keep it short,

Food was good, steak was generous size for the price, a bit undercook which is a no no for me considering it's an Argentinian steak house and are supposed to know their temps.

Appetizers were delicious, blown away by their quality, chorizo was perfect and beef empanadas were savory.

Drinks were top notch, really good old fashions.

Service was a lil slow, manager was attentive with certain customers but not all, bartender was great, she was overwhelmed but still maintained a great level of service and pumped out well balanced drinks.

Lastly, if back in the area i will probably skip this restaurant to try others.“

“I had the pasta marinara. It was very hot when it came out which is great. The marinara had great flavor. The first basket of bread that came out was not very fresh but the next basket was much better. The creme brûlée was a wonderful ending to the meal.“

“Very tasty food,,pizza was delicious. Good draft beer, not too pricey. I will come back!“

“Need a memorable idea to add to your bucket list? Then, travel to Georgia to indulge in a one-of-a-kind dining experience at Tavola, which is located at Sea Island in The Cloister Main Building. Tavola is nothing short of extraordinary as it is flawlessly directed by the one and only Jonathan Jerusalmy. From the moment you step in you are greeted with a grand wine wall to your right and an intimate bar to your left. Once seated, your eye will dance around the elegantly adorned Italian inspired showroom infused with Georgia’s southern charm; which automatically transports you into a realm of luxury and sophistication. The euphoric ambiance was a perfect blend of opulence and intimacy, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.As for the culinary journey, I was honored with the opportunity to enjoy a SEVEN-COURSE MEAL personally prepared by Chef Andres himself. It felt like Christmas each time Chef Andres walked to our table to unveil his culinary masterpieces. Each dish showcased the chef's unparalleled creativity and commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients. From the delicate flavors of the amuse-bouche to the decadent finale of the dessert course, every bite was a symphony of taste and texture.The following highlights left an indelible mark on our palates. The presentation of these dishes were a work of art, further elevating the sensory experience.1) Polpi Al Ferro (perfectly grilled colorful octopus internally tender/externally crispy nestled on tonnato sauce, topped with Chicory salad)2) Polpette Fra Diavolo (Beef, Veal, Pork handmade spicy meatballs)3) Raviolini Ricotta E Pepe (homemade ravioli top with Milk braised pork rested on parsnip puree coated with sage brown butter and sweet hazelnut)4) Shrimp and Clam Erbe (fresh homemade spaghetti pasta covered with flavorful coastal shrimp and clams)5) Baby Sea Bass Branzino (Rosemary scented potatoes, lemon, capers, radicchio salad) paired with Sancerre White Wine6) Even a NEW Spring Menu option also made a surprise guest appearance at our table, (Shhhh I’ll give you a hint it’s a tender “volcano” inspired dish artistically placed on an asparagus risotto),7) Castagnole (fried ricotta pastry, lemon-cardamom sugar, lemon cream)The wait service was also impeccable, with each staff member (Gianna, Estefany, Mandiza, and Mr. Richards) displaying a genuine passion for hospitality. From the sommelier's expert wine pairings to the server's attentive care, every detail was meticulously attended to, enhancing our dining experience.Tavola transcended mere sustenance; it was a transcendent experience that tantalized the senses and left a lasting impression. For those seeking a culinary journey unlike any other, Tavola is undoubtedly a five-star, five-diamond gem worth savoring.“
