    The restaurant is so nice and has great service! The food and drink menu are both large. It was the best Mexican food I've had especially in Athens.

    Enchiladas verdes are excellent. Staff was very welcoming and receptive to our large disorganized party.

    We stopped here while biking the Adena Bikeway because it looked like a cute "bike side" place to…read moregrab food. We were honestly excited!! baby sleeping, toddler ready to eat, outdoor seating available. It should have been the perfect stop. It went downhill fast. My husband asked the host for highchairs and both were broken. Wobbly, broken buckle straps (safety issue) we don't risk it with our kids. After asking again, they found another one. Not a great start, but okay. Then we waited at least 10 minutes before our server even came to get drink orders. When she finally did, we placed our food order and she didn't write a single thing down. By the time we needed refills, our server had completely disappeared for 20-30 minutes. Eventually a different server brought our meals. When my husband asked for drink refills, she told us we could refill them ourselves at the station in the front. What?? We've never been told to go refill our own drinks at a sit down restaurant ‍ My husband asked where our server was, and the second server clearly wanted nothing to do with helping us since we weren't "her table." He ended up going inside to find a manager, and the entire front area was full of staff gossiping and arguing with each other. Total chaos. The manager eventually came out and did absolutely nothing to make the situation right. On top of the service issues: * Outdoor seating with no lids for drinks = bugs flying into cups * They clearly need new highchairs if you're advertising as family friendly * Food was very sub par. Mac and cheese was NOT it, brisket was just okay. Dry but good flavor I guess LOL. We were really disappointed. This stop had so much potential, but the service and overall experience were a mess. Honestly, skip this place and pack a lunch!!!!. ‍

    The Sunday brunch is excellent! Eclipse has great food and vibe generally. But the brunch does it…read moreup right.

    Casa Cantina is a great bar and is better than others in Athens, but this is not cheap. In fact it…read morecan be extremely expensive. This is a bit too much for a college town bar. It's for sure a place to take a guest or have a classier evening. The worst part is the prices, but it's still better service than the restaurant side. Casa Cantina began in 1993 when the Casa Nueva employees expanded to a full service bar. The infused vodka cocktails are what its best known for. I have only been only to try a few beverages here since it can be costly. The blueberry mojito is the best. It's sweet and tangy. The margaritas are good if kind of watery. A glass is about $5 to $6, while a pitcher is about $20 to $30. There's also premium and super premium margarita that use higher quality liquor. Among the vodka infused cocktails, I most liked the cucumber gimlet. This is about $5, with cucumber infused vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup. Another good drink is the Ohio Mule. This is about $5, with Buckeye Vodka, Reed's Ginger Brew, and lime juice. Casa Cantina has a limited menu of some items from Casa Nueva. The house made salsas are kick ass. The black bean is garlicy, and the habanero is burning hot. I am a supporter of independently owned companies so I want to like this. It's run by people who care but may not have a lot of experience. This is worth a return because it's still a good place for chilling and enjoying a margarita or an infused vodka.

    I've been to Casa several times, on this visit I just stopped in for a drink. The bar is a…read morethree-sided, wrap around affair that was already busy when I walked in at 5pm on a Wednesday. The dining room was already on a wait at that point in the evening. I ordered a Manhattan, it came on the rocks, I probably would have had it up if the bartender had asked, but it was fine. They have a special menu for the bar, it looked to be on the expensive side. Casa has great food, but it is not cheap. There is a stage and a mirror ball and a small PA, it would be a fun place to see a band. I hear my beloved Phantods have played Casa. It seems as friendly and tasty and as expensive as I remember it. Definitely worth a look if you're in Athens for more than a day.

They do a small, but versatile, and well done menu. The young man in the kitchen knows his stuff. They have flyers up for events happening regularly. My wife found a flyer for a book club meeting she is interested in attending. Lots of shows, lots of bands. Local artist represented. The LGBTQ community clearly and lovingly embraced. We will definitely go back.

Despite lots of creativity on the offing behind the bar, my go-to is the blue G&T with lemon peel served in a martini glass because as a regular says, "F..K ICE!" For those who remember the menu at earlier versions of Athens Uncorked, this one will have some familiar offerings. That isn't a mistake as the kitchen lead at the now defunct Athens Uncorked now runs the show at The Side Bar. I'm partial, then and now, to the baked brie with candied bacon bits although the jam topping works well too. And they don't short you the crackers for this easy shareable. The pretzel bites are a carb injection but again, if sharing, the dipping experience is one you can get behind if you don't make it a habit. I can't speak to the live music and performances they feature on a small stage but I am told it is an inclusive and welcoming performance space. I will say the space has also worked for informal but organized catered receptions after an event on campus. They do have a full dinner menu that I will have to try a few more times and come back with an update.
