Salmon

The salmon was easily the best I've ever had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My wife ordered the chicken scallopini and loved it just as much. You can tell this is a chef who truly cares about his food and takes pride in putting his name on the menu. We'll definitely be back.

We split the spinach salad, and it's delicious!!

Dahlonega finally has a superb restaurant. Every entree on the menu is special. Service and food were exemplary. Staff, owners and sous chef are wonderful. Dahlonega has a fine dining restaurant at last. Reservations recommended, they are a small, and cozy environment with a welcome atmosphere, but limited seating.

Filet tips.

Chilly day but the patio was heated nicely. Food was fresh hot, seasoned and cooked perfectly. There were no salt and peppers on the tables but the food was so good we didn't need them! The ONLY issue was that we (3 of us) ran out of water twice! Other wise it was a foodies paradise. We will be returning. Highly recommend!!!

Great menu, service and overall experience. A small place so not great for large groups, but otherwise fantastic!

There are three - count 'em three - chocolate shops on the downtown square in Dahlonega. Somehow,…read morethey're not interchangeable, and Kilwin's takes the cake (or candy apple?) for Best in Show. They offer free samples of their fudge flavors. For me, the first sample (lemon) had me hooked with its delicious sweet Meyer flavor. They also have a lemon meringue ice cream, which sounds divine, but I didn't go for ice cream in addition to fudge. Maybe I'll try that next time! My wife is a candy apple adficianado, and reports that their apple pie and white chocolate apple is to die for. What really pushed this review over the top was the beyond friendly employee who was happy to answer questions and helped a pregnant woman who was feeling a little faint in the sun by bringing her some ice water. Good folks and good products!

They offer a massive list of options and they're more than happy to let you sample whatever you'd like before you settle on what it is you want. We ordered the blueberry waffle cone in a waffle cone And the chocolate coconut in the dish. The nostalgia of blueberry ice cream hit my heart with every lick. It was so incredibly good! The staff is consistently friendly and generous with samples.

We parked at the bottom of the venue and had to climb the stairs to the top. If you're lucky, you might catch a ride in the golf cart, but if you're seated in the back, hold on tight because it's a steep ride! We came for the Sunday brunch buffet, which features a different theme each month and never disappoints. If brunch isn't your thing, you can enjoy a wine tasting in the tasting room located below the main dining area. If you're there for brunch, you're also allowed to go back and forth between the tasting room and dining room during your allotted table time. I definitely recommend visiting any time of year; the views alone are worth the trip!

The brunch buffet ($48 per person) was good-ish, not amazing, but still enjoyable. The charcuterie board was excellent. A bit small for the price, but the cheese was top quality and really well chosen. The sparkling wine tasting was the real highlight. Unique, delicious, and absolutely worth it if you love bubbles. Service was excellent and genuinely friendly. Honestly, this is a great spot any time of year. I'd go back for the sparkling tasting and charcuterie alone.

There are even an assortment of British hats that one can wear to up their game. Our party of 4 were the last guests seated at 1:30 on Sunday. We were nicely greeted and directed to our table. A family of 4 (with two children ages 6 to 9) were finishing up across from us. What a great place to bring children when they are well behaved and ready for this type of food service. Two members of our party helped guide us through the tea and food offerings. They mentioned that in the past the roast beef sandwichs were delicious. However, not on the offerings we received. There were plenty of items to choose from however. The curry chicken salad and cucumber cream sandwiches were my favorite. The teas were both caffeinated and decaf. Fresh tea is delivered upon request or if the brewed leaves sat too long. The hi tea was finished with a tasty cup of ice cream from a 15th century recipe. It was different and outstanding. Leftovers can be boxed and taken. Sandwiches should be kept cold however for food safety. When we left our party headed over to the sister store to purchase some tea and accessories.

It will not disappoint if you can get through the front door, which is cluttered like a hoarders house. Once we walk through the tiny path between all the "antique gems", a deep awakening in our spirits happened. A spine, chilling moment. Something you would see on 60 minutes episode before a person was kidnapped. Suddenly a man from the back yelled out " you want a shot or a hot chocolate?". With fear and trepidation, we said no and he asked us if he scared us... we said "yes". We knew we had to get out of there fast. As we were trying to "escape", I saw a cat and tried to soften the awkwardness and talk to an older lady about the cat. Just as I did that, the older lady started yelling out. "They're not gonna buy anything, Jack! Why are they here if they don't wanna buy anything? They don't like our store? They should leave!!" He agreed and so did we! This has been the weirdest shopping experience of my life.

He lead me straight to the wicked witch who stopped me and my iced coffee at the door. She blocked me from Going in and told her I was insulting her by bringing a coffee in. I was shocked all I saw was Christmas ornaments. I actually thought she was joking and laughed and she said unless you buy you can't come in. I stood shocked she scoured staring my soul down. We turned around and my fiancé said well that's why you have no business. Weirdest experience
