The inside has a very cool old school building feel while being trendy at the same time. It's quite a large place with two sides and outdoor seating plus restrooms on each side. The appetizers and main dishes that we have had so far are all fantastic. The fish and chips are some of the best I've had. The fish isn't overly breaded and greasy like some other places. Our son loves the fried green bean appetizer but eats most of it himself so we hardly ever get to enjoy it. Once again the breading is light resembling a panko type crust so you aren't just eating deep fried objects. We've tried numerous other appetizers and so far nothing has been a let down. If you're looking for a good menu with quality food and drink options (they have a full bar) then this is it. Cool setting. Easy to get to. Great food. Friendly staff.

I stopped by twice in one day -- that's how intriguing this spot was. The first visit, I was drawn…read morein by an appetizer I just had to try: peanut butter and jelly pork belly. Unusual? Absolutely. But it was fabulous -- bold, unexpected, and delicious. After walking through the rest of town, I found myself right back for a second round. This time, it was their creative take on shrimp and grits. Another hit -- inventive and full of flavor. My only complaint? Neither dish was served quite hot enough for my taste. Next time, I'll be sure to ask for everything piping hot. Because yes -- I'd definitely go back.

They took care of every detail, from setting up the tables/chairs & linens, to serving the food, to mixing drinks to clean up. The entire experience was seamless. We will definitely use them again because they offer such high quality and great value. We have also eaten at the restaurant in downtown Gainesville. The food is excellent there as well.

This is a review for the Easter brunch only…read more I'm sure my grandparents would've loved this place if they were still around. You got your white tablecloths, rooms full of retirees, and a vibe that hasn't changed much since the Reagan administration. Unfortunately, there was none of that live music that this place is known for. My family and I came for the Easter brunch buffet @ $55/person. The menu looked great: herb crusted prime rib at the carving station, shrimp and grits, Belgian waffles, deviled eggs, bourbon glazed carrots, cheesecake dessert squares. But the reality was that it's more like an upscale hotel breakfast. Safe, mostly bland, and probably exactly what the "usual" crowd there was looking for. The bacon was overcooked and shriveled. The deviled eggs didn't even have any paprika. And who puts a giant vat of syrup BEFORE the waffles? And their signature strawberry punch would've tasted way better chilled or iced instead of being kept at room temperature. The prime rib was what made it all worth it. It was tender, juicy, cooked just right, and the horseradish took care of their seasoning problem. That carving station is what saves the day along with the fantastic staff. Even the manager was great to talk to. I just wish the rest of the food was better than "meh." A couple of tips: call for reservations, there's no online booking. Parking is annoying because of the app. If you don't have a walker, just use the giant free public lot one block over on Main Street. Also, the "Order" button on their website goes nowhere. Maybe just replace it with "Menu," Luna. Looks like Mother's Day is getting the breakfast buffet brunch encore, so if you want to experience what I did, go for it. I probably won't be back even though the regular menu looks interesting.

If I could, I would give Cotto 6 stars. Located in the historic square in Gainesville, GA, Cotto…read moreModern Italian restaurant was one of the best dinners we've had in a long time. Compared to south Florida's cost of living, the pricing is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality and service. We brought our standard poodle with us, since we were on vacation. We enjoyed their outdoor seating, which was spacious and relaxing. We were welcomed and really made to feel at home. For my south Florida friends, if you are passing through north Georgia, Cotto's should definitely be on your itinerary.

We ordered the mussels, caesar, cacio e Pepe and bistecca fiorentina. The steak was a thin cut T-Bone, far from any bistecca fiorentina I have ever had. It was also cooked to medium, borderline medium well. So it was tough to the chew. Salad mussels and pasta were tasty though! Hostess can try harder next time with seating guest in the dining area. Even with a few reservations, you have plenty of seating.

We were seated right away and our server Olivia was very friendly and accommodating. She recommended the Holy Shitaki pizza and we added the Mighty Meat & Pacific Rim to complete our order. The flavors of the pizzas were fantastic and the dough delightful. We also enjoyed a chocolate cookie for dessert. My daughter's favorite was the Holy Shitaki and we did regret not getting a large order. We will definitely be back for it. Overall 10 out of 10 recommended.

The back and arms of the table chairs are short - quite uncomfortable for tall people. Anyway, we asked to be moved to the bar which they accommodated.

And then I had the salmon entrée and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both were amazing! Definitely recommend if you haven't been there before. We will return for sure!

We went late lunch during the week but it's hard to chalk it up to time of day. The burger was less than average. Maybe a different beef supplier than in the past. Small, overcooked, relatively flavorless. Tiny plate with few tots. May give it a try again when I'm up that way, and hope it was just a fluke. Service was slow for it being an after lunch and no one there.

This was me & my husbands 7th year anniversary, we wanted to get out and go somewhere nice…read more Im really satisfied and happy that we chose this place. There was an aura in the air when we got here, i swear im not being dramatic. The smell of the food hit us walking up, but it wasnt over-powering...it was just the right "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" amount. Our waiter was attentive and consisent with checking on us and asking about quality - while answering other tables which im sure is difficult. I wasnt able to quite catch his name - but that is on our part since we didnt let him know we hadn't heard when he did say his name. The other waiter that brought out the food was also kind. The food was of course delicious, unsuprising since the other reveiws had already raved so much to the point it was honestly kind of expected. The steaks on both plates had been cooked to perfection - my husband and I are grateful to the chef that unknowingly gave us such a wonderful anniversary dinner. The Mozzerella Mac & Cheese had such depth of favor. The cheese though... we are absolutely suspecting the chef of using gouda! Smokey and rich in flavor - thoroughly creamy & cheesy with such consistent flavoring... we loved it. The fries were homemade and delicous, not much to say besides the fact they didnt taste of chemical preservatives whatsoever. In fact, I think at one point both our stomach thanked us for eating this wonderful food. My drinks were delicious, we got the Georgia Mule and then the margarita that is also on the drink menu. Both were delicious but the Georgia Mule was refreshing! Hands down the best we have ever tried. The weather, sun, and love of my life definetely played a part of this reveiw - I must be honest of my bias. The band that was playing on 03/24/2026 was great. If I could compare the vocalist I would say they sound exactly that of the singer "Hozier". Thank you to everyone that played a role in the experience.

Atlas is Out of this World!…read more Tucked away in a cozy corner of the city, Atlas lifted our pizza expectations to the stratosphere! Find a place to park and get in line! We parked in the freebie garage just a mere walk away. The place was packed, inside and outside. We expected a 30 minute wait. Heck, it was only 17.587 minutes, or so. LOL Seated as a party of 3 at Table 5, we drew Bri as our Atlas lass. Very good liftoff to a stellar flight. She rocks! in a Cosmic Rodeo kind of way! WE had NO idea what was about to land in front of us, when Bri slid that Extra Large Supreme Pizza in for a landing. 5 Stars and an entire Constellation rating for this heavenly pie. Holy moly guaranteed was/is THE BEST pizza to ever hit our lips! The crust is a magically soft yet explosive flavor dough. Oh yeah! The sauce hit notes even Minnie Ripperton couldn't hit! (Google her!) Loaded with ooey gooey melty cheese and plenty of toppings, every bite a sensuous journey. (Can you tell I/We loved it?) The experience of ambiance, a shared Greek Salad, Bri (like the cheese, she said) and that pizza was again, Out of this World!
