    Chicken soup
    Katherine F.

    I found a hidden jewel on books and brew. I found their soup the most delicious I have ever tried. With a generous portion too. I enjoyed reading some of the "incarceration nation" book that caught my eye, while drinking my nice and warm mint tea. I love this place and I hope them to grow. Excuse my half way eaten chicken soup... yum!

    Fabulous bookstore and more! Came here with a friend for a happy hour brew and some reading time. They didn't have one of the books I was looking for, but recommended another that I'm very excited about. If you're looking for a place to hangout and read, delicious homemade cookies, or a solid book recommendations, go here!

    Quiet table in front.

The hightop tables were a bit too high for us, but the other traditional seating was great with a candle at every table. We ordered all types of things. The pulpo (octopus) and baked mussels really stood out as our favorites. Owner/manager came out to speak with us. He and his staff clearly care about creating a great business with the best Spanish dishes in the area. Give this spot a try--you won't regret it!

    My husband and I came here last month with one of my friends and it was an excellent introduction!…read moreMy friend had been here before just for dessert and had been wanting to try more dishes, so we visited upon her recommendation. The ambiance is classy while not being stuffy, with business casual dress code. All of the staff were welcoming and kind to us, from the hostess to our waitress to the food runners. We shared several tapas: paella verduras, Pulpo parrilla (grilled octopus), Pan con tomate, empanadas with beef, Calamares fritos (calamari) , Espárragos (asparagus), and Patatas bravas. Everything was absolutely delicious! One of my favorite items of the night was the bread with tomato (pan con tomate)! The bread was toasted perfectly and came with garlic and grated tomato to spread on it, along with a sprinkling of greens. My typical favorite at Spanish restaurants (patatas bravas) was done very well here too, with the right crunch and tasty sauces. The perfectly tender octopus came with a side of beans that I wished to ask for the recipe for because they were seasoned so nicely! The calamari was breaded lightly which allowed the natural flavors to shine. The beef empanadas were juicy and crisp. The asparagus was cooked to perfection. The vegetable paella was also filling and wonderful! We ended our meal with the toffee butter cake which was an absolute dream. We look forward to coming back for more!

    I have lived in and near downtown Stone Mountain for years and had been wanting to try this place…read more FINALLY made it. Me and a few friends tried it and when I tell you this place is NOT what I thought, but in a good way! First off, our waiter Ted was fantastic. All of us were first timer so he broke everything down, gave us a few faces by patrons and his personal faves. He was patient with us and gave us the best customer service. The restaurant itself is very unique. I love they had a small seating area with a small stage close, there's a private dining area, a bar and table and booth seating. It's not a huge space but it is big enough to be comfortable and cozy. Wasn't loud and even when the artist came up to play music, it wasn't too loud it still blended well with the restaurant noise. Ted emphasized that everything in here is made from scratch except a few things. For starters we had fried okra and a colossal shrimp cocktail. They both were great starters. I had a whiskey sour as well which was really good. I had a hard time choosing but I wound up getting the prime rib sandwich with mashed potatoes, my sis did prime rib as well but with oxtail collard greens and my other sis had the surf and turf special. Everything was so good! It's a good portion of food. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the conversation. Downtown Stone Mountain has a hidden gem here, I'm already planning my trip back!

    This restaurant is also owned by the same owners as the "The Oak Bar" on main street Stone Mountain…read moreVillage . The owner has some other restaurants downtown Decature as well The "Cherokee Rose", very nice ambient atmosphere good looking restaurant. However it appears to be Family run with close friends and their kids. The Staff is not very attentive, one bartender so long waits or missed over waiting to place a drink and food order No one's really educated on the menu when asked a question about the food items. They just slide a menu in front of you as a gesture - you read it if you want to know. I can't see the small print on these menus to save my life lol I invited a industry colleague for a business dinner Ok, food review they offer an oxtail protein in the collard greens "Yummy" however I didn't find oxtail in the collard greens anywhere. My guest ordered some cwing dinner that looked like a contraption. As far as the presentation was delivered. I decided on a liquid diet after seeing the food delivery Next week I personally stopped in-for lunch wanted to give this place a chance to rebound and my full attention on a fair review. I wanted to also make sure management was there. An older caucasian woman greets me well we have a cordial conversation about my previous experience and my embarrassment at such a nice looking restaurant She was unable to believe this happened at her restaurant. Just plain disbelief and raved about the kitchen and pride that goes into her food to later having to eat those words Again, limited menu what is up with the 4-5 items to chose from. I donot eat steak fries So I just ordered the burger - medium well - not burned and it had no venison mixed or blended meat added The burger came out with old brown tarnished lettuce I sent it back for fresh lettuce . She brought it back they added thousand island dressing when I specially asked for mayo on the side which was also provided. What is going on in the kitchen I took a bittersweet bite anyways and spat it out. Took my utensils which looks like a switch blade in a fairly nice restaurant. bad esthetics decisions I knifed out The center of the uncooked raw meat of the burger and waited patiently for the nice lady to find her way back over to me I offered to just pay and leave. She ask what was the problem . I uncovered the burger and allowed her to witness fir herself Her face turned beet red and quickly said no charge and stormed off to her kitchen where I am sure like "The Oak" there was a Waffle House griller reject acting as a chef " Pictures attached : I can't make my Experiences UP! #SMH you just can't get what you pay for anywhere these days Me being a restaurant consultants. I've contacted a few franchises and alerted them to a decent food market thst can use some great affordable food options Let me help "Stone Mountain Village Grow"

We were really disappointed to see that the Brussels sprouts and Impossible burger are no longer on the menu. The replacement black bean burger just isn't for us...it's very smooshy and didn't have the texture or flavor we were hoping for. The one bright spot is that they still have the Shrimp & Grits, which is always delicious and continues to be a favorite. Hopefully they'll consider bringing back some of the old menu favorites!

    This place is very cute, don't let the strip mall appearance fool you. I am impressed at how fresh…read morethe food and drinks are here. That said, the food could use a bit of work. I ordered a mocktail which was absolutely delicious with fresh watermelon. I ordered the bone in pork chop with a blueberry reduction, green beans and "potato salad". The potato salad is in quotes because it was more like cold whole potatoes with some seasonings on it not really reminiscent of a potato salad per se but I see what they did there. I wasn't a huge fan unfortunately. The pork chop was delicious but would recommend putting the blueberry compote on the side instead of dousing the whole plate with it. The compote was very good and not super sweet which was nice (so I didn't mind eating it with the potatoes and green beans as well). My husband ordered the sirloin steak but as you can see in the picture it looked like someone just put clumps of horseradish all over thinly sliced pieces of sirloin. That much sauce on thin pieces of meat can be a bit overwhelming. The most disappointing was the presentation, it just did not look presentable. I would say the steak still tasted very good. The corn side was also cold. The server was great, no complaints there. My favorite part of the experience was the mocktail. This place has true potential. I will definitely try it again and hope that I can boost the star rating a bit next time.
