I harshed this place based on a bad outing a couple of years ago on Valentine's Day…read more I ate there twice this trip. I had Shrimp and grits for lunch one time, and it did not disappoint. I think it's the best dish they serve, and I order it every time when I'm in town in Athens once a year. Order this with a fried egg on top and thank me later. Being solo and from out of town, I grabbed an early dinner at the bar upstairs, which is, frankly, a lot nicer than the downstairs dining room. The bone-in pork chop i ordered was very good but not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it along with its accompaniments, those being mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It appeared they staffed up for Valentine's Day this year. There were three bartenders working the food and drink orders at the bar upstairs. I washed both meals down with sweet tea as one does. The service was great. Cheers!

Went for dinner last night, and it was not busy at the time we arrived…read more The bread tasted very off, and multiple people agreed it was. My wife ordered chicken masala ( which to my understanding tends to be grilled chicken) but came out fried and doesn't say that on the menu. The potato didn't have flavor and after having asks for a lot we didn't ask for salt and pepper that was not on the table already. The green beans were good! Other family members ordered spaghetti, surf and turf, and another dish I can't remember. That dish came out cold and was obviously warmed up in the microwave when it came back and was still not that hot. They offered 10% off the bill which never was on the bill at the end and double charged kids spaghetti despite's the 2 kids sharing 1 order. It's been a while since I had eaten here but definitely will not be back. Unacceptable experience for the quality and price of food when much better options exist around the corner.

This was my first visit, but my friend had been before and couldn't wait to bring me. Now I completely understand why. From the moment we pulled up, the valet parking set the tone for what turned out to be a wonderful experience. It's such a nice touch and instantly made the visit feel special. Inside, everything felt elevated without being pretentious. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was warm and attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. Every bite was flavorful, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What made the experience even better was discovering the spa next door after brunch. We took a peek, and now we're already planning our next visit--a relaxing spa day followed by another amazing dinner. It's always exciting to find a place that feels like a little getaway without leaving home. If you're looking for great food, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, complimentary valet parking, and a sophisticated vibe right here in Athens, this spot deserves a visit. We left already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to experience it all over again!

Five stars all the way for Osteria Olio. The food and service were both outstanding, but their…read morehospitality really set them apart. We originally had a 7:45 PM reservation, but showed up early hoping for a change. They were incredibly accommodating and got us seated immediately at 6:30 PM on the patio. It turned out to be the highlight of the night--we absolutely loved the atmosphere out there. Even for an early spring evening in Athens, the heaters were positioned perfectly and kept us comfortable the entire time. It's rare to find a spot that's this flexible and still executes at such a high level. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had a "date-night" at the Chop House. The ambiance was good. Then after 8:00 the…read morelights were dimmed and the ambiance became a bit more intimate. We both order the prime rib, tossed salads and baked potatoes. Prior to our food arriving we were offered bread that came with cinnamon butter, which arriv d warm and was a good addition to our meal. Shortly afterwards our salads came. Before we could really begin to eat our salads the entrees were brought. The quality of our meal was excellent as was our waitress. Our only regret was our failure to request our entrees not to be brought until we had finished our salads. The manager stopped by our table twice to assure we were enjoying our meal which we were indeed. I heartily recommend this venue for a great evening out!

Went to The Chop House on UGA graduation day, so it was extremely busy, but overall the service was…read morestill great. Our food came out quickly, which honestly impressed me considering how packed everything in Athens was that day. My steak did come out at the wrong temperature initially, but the staff handled it really well. They immediately made me a brand new steak and even sent me home with a full to-go meal, which I really appreciated. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is what matters, and they definitely made it right. The food overall was really good. The deviled eggs always hit, the creamed spinach was delicious, and the loaded potato was solid. The corn had a smoky flavor to it that caught me off guard at first, but it was still sweet and flavorful. Overall, great service, good food, and they handled an issue professionally, especially during such a busy graduation weekend.
