I didn't think I would find a good, authentic Honduran food outside of Atlanta. Now, when I am craving Honduran cuisine, I don't necessarily have to drive far! I had the pleasure of trying the pupusas and they were THE BEST! The baleadas were delicious also. Definitely recommend. The tortillas and everything were light and fluffy. The atmosphere here is wonderful. You definitely feel like you're stepping into the Hunduran culture. The staff, our waitress was very nice. If it's your first time having Hunduran cuisine, they will walk you through what it. For the amount of food you're given, the portion is incredible! Very affordable prices. I definitely plan to return and this time actually take photos of my food!

Quite a stylish Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of the bustling Cumming City Center. I was in…read moretown on a quick work trip and found myself right around the corner from here when hunger struck around lunch time. I took to Yelp and found Santa Maria right down the block. The location, awesome reviews, and photos made it a no-brainer. My lunch companion and I decided to share the queso fundito and shrimp empanadas and both were great. The queso fundito came with roasted corn and a garlic toast while the shrimp empanadas were plated on top of a bed of salad. The empanadas were a nice size and I would totally order these just for myself for lunch. I added a shrimp tempura taco to round out my meal. It was juicy, a bit spicy because of the jalapeno mayo, and overall a nice way to end my meal. I'll wrap this up by congratulating them on landing a spot on Yelp's Best New Restaurants list for 2025. Only 100 businesses in the ENTIRE country get on the list - so this is huge. Based on my experience, well deserved. Definitely give them a visit soon!

What hits you first is the very high energy and amazing entertainment with the fire dancers and the cool decor with awesome murals and stylish trimmings. Very precise servers bring out such delicious food with amazing precision. After some tasty libations it was time to experience these delectable dishes. First up was the AREPA REINA PEPIADA. A Chicken salad with aioli cilantro and avocado. Very smooth and bigger than I expected. This was followed with some, oh so tender and tasty PICANHA A LA PARRILLA. A prime coulotte steak with chimichurri. The PULPO ESPAÑOL O was totally fabulous. A Marinated grilled Octopus with purple corn grits, yellow sauce and olive aioli. It looked to pretty to eat but those sauces were so yum. We finished up with some melt in your mouth QUESADILLA SANTA MARIA. Roasted corn and red pepper, caramelized onion, cilantro, chipotle, aloli and mozzarella with sides of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. Definitely the hit of the table. Don't let the Santa Maria set sail without experiencing this top notch eating establishment.

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!

Alright, this is one of those times that I must say some honest words that aren't all glowing and…read morepositive but I shall be fair as well. This is a good restaurant on the verge of greatness, short version. The longer version reads like this: First, the service here at Sanctuary on the Square is warm, fast, a pleasant feel. And the space itself is cool, on an awesome little small downtown square, so lots of positives to mention. Now, I LOVE tapas. IMO it is a cuisine tailored to the show off chef, but that also means it must be done with flair, beauty and flavor. LOTS of flavor... and that's what was missing here tonight. The goat cheese croquettes were nice and the shrimp scampi was too, but is "nice" what the kitchen is hoping to hear? I'm thinking not. Even the blue cheese on the gorgeous wedge salad was a tad underwhelming. Three dishes and I did not finish even one of them. Now, to be fair, I have very high standards and a breadth of food experience, so if the kitchen insists I expect too much, they could be on to something. And honestly I'd bet this was a mid-week off night, so ultimately I suggest you give it a try and decide for yourself. For me, though, it came in just under the standard I'm looking for. Cheers until the next one!

I'm actually here today for one of their football games. My server was Jacob. He was phenomenal. Gave me a lot of history about what was going on. It is a small community that is trying to build and very cool Riverwalk community close to the college. I feel like this will be a big part of that and I expect them to grow a lot.

Music and dark lighting for evening, it was a good atmosphere. Ordered right away poke starter and a spicy roll, food was great though my roll came out before my starter. Menu has cocktails, sushi, and then bistro menu? A little all over the place. I liked the food though. Service was not amazing. Despite sitting at the bar with 2-3 bartenders, it took awhile to get my check since the 1 bartender asked if I needed anything but said since I ordered with the other guy I needed to talk to him. Annoying, maybe they should be trained to help each other out. Guy was distracted by another party but walked by me without making eye contact multiple times, so maybe I was just forgotten. Food came out promptly via expeditor so at least I didn't have to wait to eat. 4 stars because they're new, otherwise it would've been 3 purely because I thought the service was lacking.
