After Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, The Dining Room is the best meal I've eaten this year. Frankly,…read moreit's one of the best meals I've ever had in the state of Georgia. The Dining Room may be in a small town outside of Atlanta, but this place measures up to the heavyweights in the city. The service, decor, attention to detail, mixology, creativity of the dishes, and flavors were all top notch and very well thought out. They offer an a la carte menu or a 3 or 4 course tasting menu. Don't make the mistake I did and order a la carte. Go for the tasting menu. They say that the difference is that the a la carte portions are bigger, but I didn't really find that to be the case. The tasting menu is more of a prix-fixe menu as the portions are pretty close to full-sized if not actually full-sized. I mentioned the mixology earlier, and they really know their stuff in that area. Just asking for a classic cocktail, they asked the questions that most bartenders wouldn't think to ask. They really know their stuff, and I may have picked up a new favorite drink. Considering the full 4-course tasting menu is going for $99 as of this writing it's the most affordable fine dining experience you're going to find anywhere near the Atlanta area.

I found The Dining Room on Yelp (obviously, as every Elite starts before writing a stunning…read morereview). With only a smattering of positive reviews, I was skeptical if this place was the real deal for fine dining in a small town one hour from Atlanta and three hours from Savannah. After clicking around on their website and seeing the work Mad Hospitality Group is doing to revitalize the town, I am a firm believer in all of their ventures, and there is no doubt in my mind that I will return once again! I made a 7:30 pm Saturday dinner reservation at The Dining Room, one night before coming. We arrived shortly after 7:30 to a 3/4 full dining room. One of two waiters, who catered to the entire dining room, greeted us promptly, wished my husband a happy birthday, and asked us which table we preferred. After being seated at a cozy corner table all to ourselves, we both ordered a cocktail and settled in. My Negroni was so smooth, and my husband loved his Tom Collins. After a suggestion to try an "Old Pal" as a spin on a negroni, which I declined, my husband ordered it later on as his second cocktail of the evening. It was a hit, and we're now on the search for a proper bourbon to add to our collection to make at home! The amuse bouche, a take on a Reuben sandwich, served in a hand was the perfect starter to a wonderful meal! I ordered the 4 course meal without wine pairings, while my husband ordered three courses a la carte. I started with the Hamachi crudo with wasabi hummus, chili oil and Fukuoka seasoning was spicy, sweet and rich with flavor! My second course was the smaller version of my husband's first course. It was the almond-crusted fluke with a tomato basil sauce, my husband had lobster chunks in it, and some vegetables on top. The vegetables were perfectly salted and seasoned, the fluke crispy and warm, and the sauce deep with flavor! My third course was veal with a bacon-wrapped Georgia trout, stuffed with collard greens, some side vegetables, and a delicious sauce. I cannot speak enough about the crispy bacon that encased this delicate trout and crisp collards. The vegetables and accompanying sauce were outstanding! The portion size is very large as well! Dessert for both of us was a chocolate and pistachio mille-feuille with pistachio cream and an apricot gelato as a palate cleanser between rich bites of the dessert. My husband came with two birthday candles on his! We had one more small treat to finish the evening, not photographed but delicious nonetheless! Finally, how much did this fine dining event cost us? Well surprisingly, extremely reasonable! Cocktails cost $12, my 4-course meal with 2 small complimentary items to bookend the meal was $99 and my husband's a la carte offerings were $88. For $285 with tip we felt this was the best value fine dining we experienced in years, better than some Michelin meals we've eaten in Italy and Atlanta, and the service being personable, receptive, warm, and unpretentious! The chef personally came out towards the end of the evening and sat with several patrons, and handed my husband his main course. We can't speak highly enough of The Dining Room and how lucky we felt to have only great experiences in Madison! We will come back and try their other businesses and help support Mad Hospitality Group and their efforts to revitalize Madison!

The service was so depressing that I may need therapy now. OK, let's get the bad out of the way first. We walked into the place with only one other customer in the building. Eh, it's Sunday afternoon. No greeting rang out, but that's cool. We approach the counter, where the cashier just looks at us like we've got tentacles growing out of our foreheads. Doesn't say a word, just stares. I decide to forge ahead and place my order, which is entered silently. My wife looks around because the cashier is still just standing there looking. Seeing as how she's already eaten, she just gets a drink, which seems to puzzle the cashier. Then, FINALLY, the cashier speaks! She gives us the total, swipes our card, hands us the receipt and cups, then walks off. When the food comes up, she makes sure to make us feel even more welcome by bagging our dine-in order to go! While we were eating, she proceeds to wander around the dining room talking, loudly, on her cell phone and eating. Lovely. Now, don't get me wrong. The food was good, the fries were fresh and crispy. I have no complaints about the food. But the cashier, who's name I can't remember, might want to consider a job at the DMV. No one expects them to be pleasant.
