    A cool little place and just recently opened. Located in the heart of Ball Ground right on Main Street. With old time exposed brick and wooden floors makes this a perfect casual establishment to grab a burger or some very tasty Mexican food. With a full bar, some local brews and great service and very enjoyable servers and bartenders. The appetizer "Trio" with Queso, Salsa and Guacamole was very good. I love it when the chips come out warm and fresh. I was very impressed with all the main entrées we ordered. The Southwest Steak Bowl and Chicken Bowl were both very tasty with all the toppings and big portions. The Steak Nachos was huge. With plenty of cheese, peppers and covered in soft juicy tender steak. Carnitas Wrap was delicious. Very generous portion of savory shredded pork with an abundance of flavorful add ons. A very enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back.

    Pretty decent for a small mountain town. This is more of a Mexican joint than a traditional tavern in my opinion. The inside is pretty small with limited seating, but they have a large deck out back. Menu is small which is always a good sign. Lots of Mexican dishes: tacos, quesadillas, fajita salads. I got the carnitas wrap and it was enough food for me for a lunch. Also got the trio dip with chips. My family of four paid about $76 to dine here. Given the location that was expected and it was probably worth it.

    Steak Tacos!

    Looking for a quick meal in BallGround after an awesome mountain bike ride. Only thing open on Memorial day was this place. Steak tacos were AWESOME! Beer selection was okay and the bartender was a treat! Great service in a friendly cool atmosphere! Prices were extremely reasonable. Definitely be back here.

    Beef Carnita wraps

    We stopped in on a rainy night- Greeted by Jose and Angie was our waitress. They were the nicest engaging people. We ordered the tamales as an appetizer- they tasted authentic! I would have taken a picture but they were eaten up too quickly! My son ordered the chicken Philly- I tried a bite--delish as were his fries, hot and fresh. Husband ordered the steak tex mex tacos- he loved them. I tried the beef carnita wrap it was a large portion, I could only eat half, but IT WAS DELICIOUS. It really was surpsingly authenic mexican food for a tavern. We highly recommend this little gem! The portions were great, food was on point and service was fast, food hot and fresh an our server Angie was sweet and Jose was very kind.

    This is not a garden salad.

    I'm sorry, but it's time BG raises it standards of food and catches up with the rest of surrounding areas. This is NOT a tavern. This is a Mexican restaurant. And not even good Mexican food at that. Not one healthy option, not even a salad on the menu. When I asked if they had one off the menu they said yes, they had a garden salad. Great... A plate came out with shredded iceberg (likely out of a bag), old cucumbers and frozen avocado (which indicates those are also ordered precut and come in frozen, lazy)...no dressing to be found. It was pitiful. The wings were mediocre at best, but that's hard to mess up. Asked for all flats and of course didn't get that either. The ranch was obviously out of a bottle. Yuck. I would go here for the cute patio and have drinks but what a missed opportunity for a good concept to go into that space. So disappointed.

    Seriously?

    My husband originally wanted to head down to Buckhead, because apparently that's where "the vibe"…read morelives. But the second we walked into Eclipse, he immediately pivoted and admitted this place looked better inside and out. Victory tastes sweet... almost as sweet as the caramel drizzle on the tres leches cake. Let's talk about the atmosphere. There's a literal indoor tree growing out of the middle of the restaurant like we're dining in an enchanted Spanish forest. Add in the giant crystal chandelier dripping drama from the ceiling and you've got a space that says, "Yes, we're upscale... but we also know how to party." The live guitarist sealed the deal. Nothing says romantic tapas night like a man casually shredding a red guitar five feet from your table. Now the food. It came out fast. Suspiciously fast. "Did they know we were coming?" fast. And every single plate slapped. The crispy potatoes were seasoned like they had something to prove. The empanada was golden and flaky with that creamy dipping sauce that makes you consider licking the container when no one's looking. The short ribs were so tender they looked like they'd been emotionally supported before being served. Even the fried croquettes and goat cheese with carmelized onions and honey felt like they had main-character energy. And that cake. That glorious, whipped-topped, caramel-drizzled masterpiece. I would write it a thank-you note. The staff? Impeccable. Attentive without hovering. Friendly without forcing it. The kind of service that makes you feel like you're a regular even if it's your first time. The only downside: it was the first warm day in a while, and the sun decided our table was the chosen one. Half of our bodies were enjoying ambient romance lighting. The other half was being interrogated by a solar laser beam. My pasty white legs were one direct ray away from combusting like Louis in Interview with a Vampire. I considered rotating every five minutes like a rotisserie chicken. Minor sun-induced trauma aside, this place is a solid five stars. Gorgeous interior. Live music. Fast, phenomenal food. Amazing staff. And the satisfaction of proving Buckhead is not the only place that can deliver a whole vibe. Pro tip: request a table out of the direct path of the sun unless you're actively trying to pregame summer.

They offer great choices for designated drivers that go well beyond just water or soda--it's refreshing to see a place put effort into their non-alcoholic options. The food menu is equally flexible. There are lots of tapas to choose from, which works perfectly whether you are coordinating a meal for a large group or just stopping in for a quick snack. The variety ensures there is something for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommend for the vibes, the music, and the excellent small plates!

The UWT salad was just ok, the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread was almost uneditable, the Korean Shortribs were not any better. The flatbread was swimming in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. The Korean Short Ribs were literally pot roast with sesame seeds and green onions served a top a serving of dry potatoes. We enjoyed the ambience and the wine but would not go back due to the food. Admittedly we are foodies and this establishment did not meet our expectations. Really not trying to be a negative Nancy but this was not to our liking.

The only available slot was from 6:30-8:00, and as long as we arrived on time, they'd seat us. We got there around 6:45 and had already looked over the menu on the way, so as soon as we sat down, we placed our entire order. The ambiance and decor were very nice and chill. It was a little loud, but we could still hear each other comfortably. We started with the sangria flight -- fruity and delicious. Our first appetizer was the papas bravas, crispy with just the right amount of spice. We also had the beef empanadas with chimichurri sauce, which were excellent. Next were the steak skewers, seasoned to perfection (though I do wish they offered a choice of cooking temperature). The octopus was my favorite -- char-grilled, tender, and full of flavor. We also tried the mac and cheese. It came out a little loose at first, but after sitting for a bit, it had a nice bite, especially with the chorizo. We finished with the shrimp in garlic butter and crostinis -- flavorful, garlicky, and one of our favorites of the night. Overall, this is one of the best tapas spots we've had in or around Atlanta. It's definitely our new favorite -- even over some of the local favorites in Decatur.
