    Ok let me first say that I haven't dined here yet!!…read more I was looking at hosting a bridal shower in the area, where I'm out of town so dont have a way to come visit/scope out the place. Shannon was so accomodating, he sent me photos of the place where the shower would be, and answered a ton of questions for me. The level of service from him was impeccable, especially when I was pretty clear from the beginning that I was looking at quite a few different places. We ultimately chose somewhere else due to budget and we wanted a more "light and airy" vibe. I just wanted to drop a line here and say that this spot is really perfect for a smaller shower and for a pretty competitive price!

    Since I am not from around the area, I came here based off reviews. First off, I had amazing…read moreservice. I came alone due to me being on a business trip and wanted to spoil myself a bit. I did not know what to expect because the area seemed like upscale IMO and I was a little hesitant I would be treated a certain way. I was not . The place was very clean and nice, also has a fancy feel to it. The food i had tasted amazing, but the rice was a little on the salty side for me. I am not sure if its a southern food thing ( I am from the other side of the U.S) but, seasoned rice has been salty to me all over GA. I would definitely recommend this place to someone though. They had my favorite beer on tap "left hand milk stout Nitro" good food and amazing service.

    My wife and I were in Alpharetta meeting a friend for dinner, but she first suggested that we bar…read morehop a little bit, and Up On The Roof was our first stop. It was warm outside and warm = rooftop bar. It was the start of a great night. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located in downtown Alpharetta on South Main Street. The restaurant sits on the fifth floor of an office building. There is no parking directly by the building, however there is free street parking as well as a deck that is free and is a few minutes walk. If you can, I would recommend taking the walk so you're able to see all of the other shops and restaurants and enjoy the live music that's sure to be playing. Venue and Atmosphere When you walk in you're automatically greeted by the hostess. If you are going on a weekend I absolutely would recommend having a reservation, especially if you want to sit outside. We did not, so it was essentially every woman for themselves. In addition to the tables, there were some couches that were first come first served. We lucked up and a woman was leaving and gave us her table. Food and drinks Since this was our first stop we didn't want to fill up too much. We ordered the charcuterie board, which served as a good snack. I ordered their old fashioned made with Knob Creek, my wife had a cider, and our friend has one of their IPA's. Service Service was decent, considering there was a lot going on. With my friend's IPA they were changing the keg and it actually took a while for that to happen, but our server gave my friend another drink at no charge to make up for that fact, which was a nice touch. Verdict I'm not in Alpharetta much, but the next time I am, I'll definitely stop through for a drink and the view. If you're in the area stop on in! Until next time!

    Drinks are drinks and nothing really special here. But the rooftop view is pretty nice. The…read moreseating was spacious on the roof top. Good for a couple people to parties of 10. Plenty of searing if you get there early enough. What I didnt like is there was only one bartender and we had to go to the bar and order. There was no waiter/waitress to come around..

    Coalition Steak & Seafood was a great choice for date night…read more We've always wanted to sit at the bar for dinner, and this time we finally did -- and it did not disappoint. It was freezing outside, so walking into a warm, cozy, and welcoming space was the perfect start to the evening. The bar area felt intimate and relaxed, ideal for a date night. The bartender was knowledgeable and thorough. He wasn't always right there, but it never felt like an issue -- everything flowed smoothly, and the food came out quickly. Overall, the food was very good. The steak was fairly average, but the red fish was absolutely outstanding. It had a subtle Louisiana touch that made the flavors explode in the best way. I'd definitely come back again, especially for the seafood. A solid spot with great ambiance and memorable flavors.

    We had the bang bang chicken, lychee martini, pear dream (seasonal) cocktail, Scofflaw cider, steak…read morefrites, and Chilean sea bass with cherry ginger soy sauce and red potatoes and mac and cheese. The bang bang chicken should be drenched in the sauce to give it the kick it needed. Drizzled was lackluster. Lychee martini was good, had a big lychee fruit in it. Pear dream was almost tea-like but good. Wouldn't get again but did enjoy in the moment. Scofflaw cider was ehh. My fiancé didn't care for it, so it was a chug it and go kind of drink. Steak frites had a fine cook on the steak but more concerned with the flavor, which was lackluster. The fries were really crispy, but because of their size, they didn't have much substance. Not something he'd get again. Chilean sea bass blackened didn't have the kick of flavor I hoped for. The sauce was good if you like Asian-inspired dishes. The potatoes were fine. Needed more seasoning. Mac and cheese was cheesy but needed more of a flavor profile to wow me. Overall the sea bass was meaty and cooked well, but the sides were just okay. Didn't hate the meal but didn't stand out so won't be going back again. Food did come out quickly so the service was good. And the music was overall was good for the Valentine's Day weekend.
