PHENOMENAL CHEF! We hired chef Jarvis for our baby shower and a personal dinner for two!…read moreBaby shower: he prepared shrimp and grits, seafood pasta, and fresh fruit tray. ALL FRUIT WAS GONE! The freshest fruit! The shrimp and grits were light but well seasoned! There was just enough shrimp in each bite and he wasn't stingy with the portion size. The seafood pasta was an ultimate hit! There was seafood in every bite and it was the freshest seafood! I never had seafood pasta prepared this way. It contained crab, shrimp and a lobster topping! EVERYONE ATE ALL OF HIS FOOD. We ordered enough and none was left! All of our guests constantly still talk about how good the food was at the shower Private dinner: Chef Jarvis served jalapeño wrapped in bacon, seafood macaroni and cheese, fingerling potatoes, asparagus and a Tomahawk steak. The steak was extremely tender and well seasoned! The seafood macaroni and cheese was fluffy and the seafood taste was not over powering the Mac and cheese. The asparagus and potatoes were fresh and seasoned perfectly! To end the night we were served a brownie that was sooooo soft! I don't eat sweets because I don't like the way they taste but I ate the whole brownie! That says something! I would definitely hire him again! There is no one better in Atalanta! Typically everyone is about presentation and no taste or vice versa. Chef Jarvis comes with both! You get great tasting food, beautiful presentation and stellar service !!!

I would love to have Chef Alice cook for us again for another occasion. Cozymeal, you provide a fantastic service!

I will try them again though & try something else as this place is very clean and presentable to the eye. I'm pretty sure they have a high score as it's extremely clean inside.

Where do I even start? I have to give it up to Hannah because her patience with us was next level…read more She was locked out of our cabin for a brief moment and I couldn't even get in touch with her because my phone died after a full day at the local vineyards. Luckily, I had her email and knew she'd respond right away. What can I say? From the very beginning, I knew this was going to be quite the experience. Hannah and I were in touch everyday curating the perfect menu for my girls trip. She was extremely accommodating as one of the girls did not like meat so she quickly made her own choices for my friend. She's extremely communicative which was my favorite part about her services. She made this experience 10/10 for us. And the FOOD?! Phenomenal! We devoured everything. Hannah took care of all the courses and one I didn't include was the kale Cesar salad that tasted so yummy and added the lightest clean touch to our steak dinner. I have no complaints with Hannah and if you're looking for a chef in the Blue Ridge she is your girl. She will take of you from beginning to end with upmost southern hospitality. We do enjoyed having her and will book her again no questions asked! Love you Hannah you were wonderful!!

Bovino After Dark is one of the most unique dining experiences I've had in Atlanta…read more The intimate chef's counter gives every guest a front-row seat as each course is prepared and plated right in front of you. It creates an interactive atmosphere that feels personal and makes you appreciate the craftsmanship behind every dish. Before the tasting menu began, I ordered both the baked oysters and raw oysters. Both were incredibly fresh and a great way to start the evening. Throughout dinner, I enjoyed the Conde Valdemar Rioja Blanco from Spain, which paired beautifully with the meal. The tasting menu featured four thoughtful courses, each with its own personality. The Szechuan pork with green beans and Sungold tomatoes was a flavorful start with a nice balance of richness and freshness. The Alabama crab with yellow corn tamale and tomatillo was one of my favorite courses of the night. It was light, sweet, and beautifully balanced. The duck with kimchi bao, chanterelle gumbo, and okra brought deeper, more comforting flavors and was easily the boldest course on the menu. The hanger steak with red habanada peppers, chermoula, and potatoes was cooked beautifully and made for a satisfying finish before dessert. Dessert was a play on cereal and milk. Fruit Loops, mango, lime leaf, and fennel somehow came together into a dish that felt both nostalgic and refined. The entire evening was thoughtfully paced, the service was warm and welcoming, and watching the chefs work just a few feet away made the experience even more memorable. If you're looking for something beyond a traditional dinner reservation, Bovino After Dark is absolutely worth experiencing.

Always a hit -- I love this spot and its location inside Marietta Square Market!…read more I get something different every time. Today I had the fried oyster mushroom plate, served over rice & peas.

I also grabbed the banana pudding... soooo good! The food never disappoints and the staff is always awesome. Shoutout to my NY - West Indian crew!

Would have loved to try this place. Unfortunately, their allergy information is inaccessible. As a…read morevegan based restaurant I'm shocked that they don't have their allergens listed on their menu. Additionally, when you select the "food allergy disclaimer" page on their website it is blank.

Their number is automated and you are unable to speak with an actual person. Such a great disappointment in this regard.

First the positives: the guests for our party were sent a survey, and they gave rave reviews for…read moreDeSilva's food. There was a lot of love for the burger sliders, chicken tenders, and shrimp. The servers were so helpful, friendly, and joyful during and before event. There were even three chefs, one of them a head chef, actually in attendance making food at the party. After the party, I found out that DeSilva even made a lot of custom orders for the party guests. Positive critique from the party attendees was that some of the food was cut too large to eat in one bite and they were not served with silverware such as the salmon shooters. The negatives: the owner missed her appointment to view our space, then showed up late to the reschedule appointment, and showed up at the start of the party. The owner's response was that she was bringing the hot food and wanted to show up as close to the party start as possible to keep the hot food hot. Showing up at the start of the party did not give us time to inform her of a few changes we made. We had purchased additional food to serve as sides to their passed hors d' oeuvres because there was lot of concern from our HQ the closer we got to the party about alcohol consumption, and concern from our employees about being full. We were going to put this out ourselves but the chefs from the caterer insisted that they would put the food out for us. I don't want to really go into it, but they put our food out so late and in such a small quantity that I feel like it was a power move by the chef to make sure their food received a spotlight. We should have served our sides ourselves as planned because our people love that type of stuff. There was a lot of waste. Part of our event package was pre-packaged to-go boxes for our guests which were to include cupcakes and macaroons. We received 150 cupcakes which received mixed reviews, some extremely good and some not, but no macaroons. We do appreciate the owner attempting to make it right by bringing fresh macaroons for our holiday lunch (arrived after the lunch) but we only received 47 boxes with two macaroons in each. Our headcount for the party was 150 people, the owner's response when asked if there were 150 macaroons was "I didn't know how many people you have". Also, one box of 2 was missing, and one box only had 1 macaroon in it. I don't think the desserts were worth $3k. The most aggravating issue was that we were charged $500 for cleanup and breakdown and the catering company did not clean up. They brought a grease fryer to cook the food and did not clean up the greasy floors that were caused by using the appliance, 10 over-full trash bags were left leaking all over the floor, the food that was dropped during preparation wasn't attempted to be picked up. They somehow used up all of our cleaning supplies without actually cleaning. The owner's response was that she was told (by someone who was not their point of contact) not to worry about cleaning and that we have a cleaning crew that would come clean the following day. They had been using this person as a point of contact instead of calling me because they "saw I was having a good time". I did not get to join the party until after 8pm, even then I was available to all of our vendors the entire time. She also said that she didn't know if there was a mop. Any of us could have provided this. The catering team was gone within an hour of the party ending. Leaving without telling me even though they did see me to ask me if I liked their cupcake. My team had to come in and clean the filthy nightmare that they left the next day. So in the end, would I recommend DeSilva's Kitchen? Yes, but with caution. The food and service was great, and your guests will enjoy them. However, you may be incredibly frustrated behind-the-scenes.
