Pizza
Barbara G.

We stayed in the hotel, so my husband and I took our pizza to go and we sat out by the lake, enjoyed the fire pit and then made some s'more's ! I highly recommend doing so. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As per the restaurant I recommend the pizza and skip the pastas. I will say the staff went above and beyond when some of our food came out long after our pizza. It made up for the entire mixup on our to-go order. The restaurant itself is lovely- beautiful setting, nice view of the lake. We also had breakfast here every morning during our stay. All in all great service - beautiful setting.

Fabulous food and impeccable service! Chef went above and beyond to accommodate child with celiac. Wait staff was delightful.

Such a fun and delicious restaurant- we came here for breakfast and the portions were way larger than we expected. The service was very kind and they were super knowledgeable about the food. The tea and coffee was also delicious. I got the uova in purgatorio, and it was a great blend of tomato and egg goodness! Would highly recommend.

Linguine Fra Diavolo with lobster - so good!

Beautiful dinner spot at the Ritz! There's indoor seating, bar seating and outdoor seating in their heated patio that overlooks the lake. Great variety of Italian dishes. The concierge told us they didn't have any reservations for the evening but we went to the restaurant around 7pm and they had plenty of tables open so definitely stop in even if you can't get a reservation! Great for breakfast too - $35 dollar buffet or you can order specific entrees off the menu.

Service is suuuper slow. We couldn't get a reservation until 8:15 and yet there was still a more than 10 minute wait to get seated. Plenty of open tables I guess they just aren't staffed properly. After being seated, we promptly placed our orders, but did not get our main dishes until about 9:30 pm, at which point my 4 year old had already fallen asleep. Fortunately appetizers had arrived a little past 9, so she had eaten some of that. The servers were kind, and our waitress Natalie brought my older child - 7 years old, a blanket while she was waiting for the food to arrive. The food was all really delicious! I'm glad it was freshly prepared, but it was a long wait late at night when we were hungry. They did have kids' menus and perhaps those items would have arrived faster, but we like our kids to have more variety in their food. All our dishes are great: - pulpo (grilled octopus; tender, flavorful) - fritto misto (fried calamari, shrimp, and zucchini - even the kids loved it) - riggatoni bolognese (family favorite between my husband, daughter, and me) - linguini with lobster (I loved it, but it was a little spicy for my daughter) My pear cocktail was also really delicious and a good portion that lasted me the 1 hour wait to appetizers. I recommend getting an earlier reservation here and being prepared for a lengthy and relaxing dinner.

Outdoor seating

Food was really great, quality and quantity was great considering it being located at the Ritz. Outdoor seating was well covered and ventilated.

The focaccia appetizer.

Really nice upscale Italian. Ambience and service were great. Prices are on high side but not surprising for a Ritz property. Wonderful outside covered patio. Will likely go back.

You'll find a troublesome menu here. This newly revised version of the old Georgia's restaurant at the Ritz Carlton at Reynolds Plantation is now Italian. About the menu: first, the menu does not even say to the name of the restaurant, not on the front nor the back. Odd? Then, on the breakfast menu, most people will find quite a lot of words that they don't know: stracchino, padron, tramezzino, piadina, shirred eggs, bresaola and more. I would highly suggest to the manager that underneath the Italian, or in parentheses beside it, they explain every last one of these words to their clientele. Further, I have taken three or four semesters of college Italian, and I still did not know at least half of these words. Imagine the average American? You will have to ask so many questions about the menu. And then there is the issue that a couple of things are not even on the menu! Where is the juice? You don't have orange juice or grapefruit juice on your breakfast menu? They do, but it's not listed. So you don't know that they have it, you don't know the price. And then they offer an omelette, but it's not on the menu! I really don't think they are helping themselves with their menu. The egg white frittata I did order was tasty, but I guess I was a little bit surprised by the fact that it said it came with parmigiano, and apparently what that meant was a little sprinkle of same. You could barely see it. The breakfast buffet is $35.

We have been looking for a good Italian Restaurant for a while after the disappointing food we had…read moreat Carrabbas, which used to be good. I saw the reviews for this place so we went to try it today for lunch. From the greeting to the goodbye was spot on. It has a quaint little feel to it. We were well taken care of without being bothered too much. Completely professional and efficient. The food was amazing!! I had the Chicken Cacciatore and let me tell you.......the flavor was hands down the best. Topped with cherry tomatoes, onions, roasted red peppers and mushrooms with. white wine sauce. The Linguine was al dente the way real Italian pasta should be. My husband had the Chicken parmigiana, which was not drowned in tomato sauce like some places. The tomato sauce itself was not over-seasoned so it tasted more like real tomato sauce. The soup of the day was chicken noodle, which was so good. The chicken inside the soup was shredded, which was different but man the flavor!! They serve fresh hot bread to the table, and will bring more when you run out, and trust me you will run out because it was so good. This little hidden gem will be our go to from now on for Good Italian food. We drove from Bethlehem Ga to eat here, only 30 min drive, but it was worth it. Trust me you will not be disappointed with this place.

We had 2 dishes with different cream sauces. Very good. Both the linguini and the rigatoni were perfectly al dente, which is rare. Desserts were homemade sweet, tasty, and authentic. They are garnished with whipped cream and chocolate syrup (see picture ). Service is excellent with young attentive waitresses. Real good Italian food.

The restaurant…read moreinterior is open and comfortable, a main dining level and a lower level bar area with seating. Our server was so kind and gracious, she made our meal an exceptional one. A nice, concise menu. We gave it a good perusal and started with a couple appetizers. Their Fried Chicken Potstickers and the Baked Feta with pita bread. The potstickers were very good, a nice sear and a flavorful filling. The Baked feta was exceptionally good. Done old school, wrapped in foil with a little evoo and sliced tomato then baked until the feta was almost melting. So delicious and flavorful. It was a great appetizer and it reminded me of my days in Italy decades ago. I saw it on the nightly specials board walking in and went for their Ahi Tuna evenings special. It was beautifully prepared, seared to near perfect and just a delicious wondeful meal. Tender, succulent Ahi sliced. We had a great evening dining here with kind professional staff, a solid menu and a comfortable environment in which to enjoy it all 4.5 Stars rounded up for our server and host 01287

Reservations at 8, right on time. Walked in seated right away by the hostess. The standard server will be with you shortly here are your menus. Our waitress Summer had the timing down. Just as we figured out what we wanted from the drink menu she arrived. An old fashioned is our go to so two Seasonal Old Fashioned to start. We also ordered the baked Feta for appetizer. The interior is warm and open. Tables and chairs have plenty of room We sat overlooking the bar area (the bar is at a lower level). Only thing I would change is sitting at a table vs a High top. Drinks and appetizer arrived promptly. The baked feta was so good warm and creamy, tomatoes and seasoning provided depth. Summer provided the specials of the day as well as her thoughts on various entree. My wife originally was looking at a pasta w shrimp. Summer brought to our attention the pork chop - she said I know you think of how good can a pork chop be but ours is really amazing. So my wife changed her mind and went with the pork chop. I elected for the Red Fish atop orzo. Entrees arrived and wow they looked perfect. That pork chop was thick, nice crisp sear topped with apples ( sautéed perfectly not soggy). My red fish was well seasoned and tasted great. What amazed me was the spinach and tomato orzo! So creamy and subtle it complimented the fish so well. You can't have a Birthday without desert. Again Summer provided great recommendations and insights. Salted Caramel cheesecake for the birthday girl and I had the crème brûlée cheesecake cake. Both were very good not too dense and not fluff. The flavors were not overpowering so you enjoy the flies well as the taste of cheesecake. Price was what I expected, it's not bar food , priced appropriately. Remember I said reservations were at 8 ? They close at 9 and not once did we feel rushed. The staff, especially Summer treated us like the first customer of the evening. My wife digs the whole singing happy birthday , the dessert had the happy birthday message and Summer discreetly asked if she would like the happy Birthday song. They did, and looked like they had fun doing it. Awesome place we will definitely go back!

We came for the B&B and stayed for dinner instead of going into Dublin. So glad we did!…read more The hosts were amazing and fit us in at the last minute when we found out there was a restaurant on-prem. We were seated at 7pm and both the service and food were amazing. We felt like family. The owner stopped and chatted with each table for a few minutes after the main course. The B&B was also a pleasure. We had a special need and the owner was more than happy to accommodate us. The room was cozy and had a couple of easy chairs that you could watch TV from. There was also a couple of bags of snacks and a fridge stocked with sodas and water, all complimentary. If you love animals, there is a resident cat who makes his way along the outside porch as an ambassador to all the guests. There are also some donkeys and horses on property who love to get their heads scratched.

This was my first visit, but my friend had been before and couldn't wait to bring me. Now I completely understand why. From the moment we pulled up, the valet parking set the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful experience. It's such a nice touch and instantly made the visit feel special. Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. Every bite was flavorful, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What made the experience even better was discovering the spa next door after brunch. We took a peek, and now we're already planning our next visit--a relaxing spa day followed by another amazing dinner. It's always exciting to find a place that feels like a little getaway without leaving home. If you're looking for great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, complimentary valet parking, and a sophisticated vibe right here in Athens, this spot deserves a visit. We left already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!
