Totally deceptive. Smelled like a moldy basement...way over priced, limited menu. Terrible experience

Amazing atmosphere paired with great service and food. This place is arguably the best restaurant in Athens. The service was really what stood out as being incredible. She didn't just serve us our food, but she also gave us the history of the building and had great manners and respect. The atmosphere was fantastic. Being old timey with a pair of newer aestetic, it felt like I was at home. The food was amazing, being cheap and affordable but so delicious at the same time. Overall, this is the best restaurant I've ever been to.

Ordered the Bacon Burger and Cooked Veggies. The ingredients were fresh and great quality! Highly recommend if you like a more secluded and quiet 1930s atmosphere.

Wife and I went to this place for dinner had seen good reviews of the place however we were very impressed with the food wife had burger with mushrooms and I had ahi tuna
The wild rice was superb and the grilled tuna was very delicious their stir fried vegetables were equally tasty
The service was excellent
This place used to be the old Robert E Lee hotel and it has some very interesting history behind it as well
The ambiance of the place is unique as well
All in all we had a great dining experience and will definitely be back again
Would highly recommend this little cafe

Hidden gem of a restaurant, so glad we found it! The service was very good and good food was exceptional. We had the ribeye steak and rack of lamb, both were very tender and flavorful.Will definitely be returning to try up their hamburgers and salmon.

It’s a really good place but they need more employees working. Sat at the bar for 15 mins. Didn’t get greedy or anything.
