All of their tables has a Mahjong set arranged, and they have an expert on site that helps teach you their special Cantonese style of playing. The expert did a wonderful job breaking it down for us since most of had never played before. During the game, they came around with plates of appetizers that you can purchase for the table. They just mark each item down on an ordering sheet for you. There are also entree and dessert items that you can order as well along with drinks. All of their appetizers were delicious, and our table ordered the bang bang shrimp entree, which was easily our favorite food item of the night! I heard that they are scaling back on holding these Mahjong Monday events every week due to unforeseen issues (praying for them!), but I'm happy that I was able to join yesterday!

It's pretty small in there so get a reservation if you don't want to risk a long wait! Parking and getting to the restaurant is an absolute NIGHTMARE.

At bartenders recommendation since I was there for the first time I chose the four-course tasting menu. From the first taste of the tuna to the last tasting of the dessert and the pasta and pork chop in between it was incredible. I learned the crispy white lasagna is a treat that isn't always on the menu and when you see it you absolutely must get it. A guest next to me insisted I try it and put a piece on my plate and it lives up to the hype. So much so I may return tonight to try it before it vanishes. This restaurant will undoubtedly be in rotation.

Lots of cute seats & views to wait for a table. Great little neighborhood with active nightlife. Took me about 36-40 minutes during rush hour for bar seat while table dining would've been quicker seating. Great seasonal menu with a nice variety of cocktails, antipasti, as well as several main course dishes. The main courses offer different tastes such as comfort creamy to spicy proteins. The focaccia bread was to die for. Do not skip it. I began with grilled octopus, then had tagliatelle with mushrooms and spinach because I wanted a hearty, comfort meal. Although I was tempted by the spicy black ink spaghetti with sausage and rock shrimp. I had sticky toffee pudding cake and cappuccino for dessert which was the best I've had and I've tried it all over the world. The menu will vary by seasons.

I've been to Yeppa a few times so I won't completely hold this experience against them, although it…read morewasn't the best. However we did go on a summer Friday night so the noise & overcrowding was to be expected. We did have a reservation so once it was time, we were seated fairly quick. The restaurant does have a lot of space both inside & outside, so even though it's a whole lot of people, it's a whole lot of seating. Their menu is a bit different from the Buckhead one, but it's mostly the same. Of course we got the espresso martinis which were amazing. For appetizers, we ordered a few things. The Carpaccio Di Tonno was good. What was amazing tho was Cozze Pepate and the SPIEDINI DI MANZO. I'd absolutely order those again. We all ordered the Cacio E Pepe for entree because it's our fav. Unfortunately it wasn't that good that night. The sauce was more thick than creamy & congealed fairly quickly. Overall though, the vibes were nice & I'd still come back.

We decided to check out Yeppa randomly yesterday (a Friday night) and wow was place happening!! The…read moreambiance was such vibe with low lighting and small tables setting around the venue. Highly recommend getting a reservation, but since there were only two of us we luckily snagged a spot at the bar. I ordered a Hugo spritz and my friend ordered a n/a spritz. I liked mine fine enough, but she did not like hers. The flavor was super off in the n/a drink. She originally tried to order the fluffy cucumber n/a but she said no, but we can give you Greek yogurt and lemon juice, which tbh was crazy? And found it a bit annoying that they weren't more helpful with the n/a drinks. We then ordered the rosemary focaccia bread and beef skewers that were both solid orders. I would have liked if the focaccia bread came with like a whipped feta or something dip-able. But the skewers were delicious and had great flavor. For dinner we ordered the ravioli Verdi burro e salvia which was delectable. Melted in your mouth and was so light and fresh. & the tortellini con crema di parmigiano which also was really delicious. Both I would highly recommend. My only other note is that the inside bar was so dark it was hard to read the menu and when I asked to see if I could get a light (like they had at all the tables around us) they kinda laughed and said we don't have any. So while the food and place passed the vibe check, the service was not really what you'd expect for a place of this caliber.

The food is terrific, the owners are incredible and the staff is phenomenal. We've been going here…read moresince the early 2000s. The first server I had here welcomed me to Atlanta. It was a rainy day and my dad and I had arrived before I started grad school at Ga Tech. Our server was an Electrical Engineering student at Tech. It was appreciated after the typical chaos of moving to a new city that he happened over here my dad and I talking and he shared he went to Tech. Over the 2 decades since, I've brought friends who live here and from outside the city to enjoy the great serving and kitchen staff. My wife and I have been many times including on the restaurant's anniversary night last fall. We are sorry to hear the landlord has decided to raise the rent and sell the property. Heather has been our server multiple times. She was our server tonight as we celebrated my wife's birthday with her parents, aunt and sister. From calamari to the desert platter and entrees in between, the food was incredible. The fried lobster tails are a must. The mouse has been my wife's favorite for years. The one note is Jacob the General Manager needs to learn to trust his servers. At the beginning of the meal I let Heather know despite being a party of 7 to just bring the check to me and I'll settle up with the other guests via Venmo. And, at as we were finishing dessert, Heather came by letting me know the next party for our table was had arrived and could she bring our check. I said yes. While Heather was getting our check ($490 Food & $600+ after tip) the Manager came by telling us we needed to finish up and have our check brought. When I asked the Manager to not make this an unpleasant experience and that coming by after Heather had just communicated the situation and I had agreed she told me I should share this feedback with the General Manager. She, Jacob (GM), and I stood on the front patio where I explained what I'm sharing now: Trust your Servers. He said they were front facing and so the management likes to meet the guests. Having your Manager tell us we need to get our check and leave is not the way to meet your guests. Chef Jack and his wife (the owners) are hospitable and trust and appreciate their staff. Jacob having his Manager micromanage the servers management of tables is nowhere close the focus on service the owners have had for 26 years. I hope that Jacob and the Manager take this as a learning moment that if you hire talented people your trust talented people to bring their talents to their job. Sure it was busy. But, that's why Chef Jack hired the staff he hired. Jacob the GM needs to increase the communication with his talented team instead of using the excuse of being front facing to ever overstep their bounds on the relationship his servers have built with his guests. Heather introduced herself when we sat down. Jacob did not - nor should he have. Heather did a phenomenal job making us feel welcome, have food and drink we enjoyed, and even recognizing my wife's birthday with her favorite desert. And when the time came she handled coordinating bringing the bill and having us free the table so a new group could enjoy an evening at Agave. Jacob and the Manager need to trust their staff more. Micro-management is never a good look for your staff's morale or your guests' impressions. Please go see them for Jan 31st 2026 when they close. The servers are all wonderful as are the owners. And the food is like nothing else in Atlanta. The management simply needs to trust the talented staff from front to back of house with whom they get to work. If they're ever in doubt if a server is either providing the level of service they expect or turning tables at the rate needed to keep pace with reservations then talk to the server. The server needs to own their tables. Management should truly be of service to their staff - and you can only do that with trust and communication. Customers should never know management had a single question if the sever was doing what's needed. Because it's a bad look to come by twice about being the check. Especially when the 2nd time is in between the 1st ask if they could and the server bring the check. Of note, I already had my credit card out so that I could hand it to Heather as soon as she returned with the check. And in front of the manager, I handed Heather my credit card. Everything else was great. But, why rush guests?

They sell a lot of niche brands within a category of an item (ex. independent, small batch chocolate instead of large company chocolate). There's a fair amount of parking in the lot, but I can imagine on a busy day that it may be a little tough to find parking. If you're ever in the mood for sandwiches, would highly rec this place!

Finally the right opportunity presented itself and I assembled a merry crew of Yelpers to check it out on a stunningly gorgeous March evening. Chef Mas invites the public in to his backyard each Thursday and prepares an awesome family-style Italian feast for a $25 suggested buy-in. You're welcome to BYOB, but they provide plenty of water to keep you hydrated. You're encouraged to mingle with the other diners, so I wouldn't recommend this for an intimate date night: I'd definitely bring a few friends and just enjoy the ride. As this is someone's home, you may not get all of the amenities you'd find in a restaurant, but I certainly didn't miss them. Picnic tables, tea lights, and the gorgeous Atlanta weather: you can't really beat that, plus the smell of an open fire. The food is also outstanding. We were treated to an incredible caprese-like salad, homemade pasta with veggies, and a steak and liver combo that I can't stop thinking about. This isn't the place for picky eaters-- you may not know what you're digging in to until you're halfway through, but the Chef is happy to work around specific allergies and the like if you tell him in advance. He's also quite personable (a rarity in chefs, I've found) so be sure to carve out some time after your meal to chat with him. And note: this is a slow experience so be prepared to just relax and enjoy your time there. Be sure to make a reservation via facebook/email as he prepares the proper amount for everyone, and don't go flaking. You'll regret it.

One random day I got an invite that was advertising an "eclectic backyard dinner on the beltline" -…read morehow could I say no to that? And don't worry if your google map brings you to a small neighborhood, and the only signs of "Blu Gorilla" are chalked on the side of a wine box - you're in the right place! Chef Massimiliano (Chef Mas) was once an employee at the Italian consulate (or something of the like), but as many of us do, hated his desk job and had other passions. So (as many of us don't) he decided to quit his day job and follow his dreams. He runs his own catering company, and every Thursday hosts a dinner on the beltline for anyone who would love to join him and tastes his creations. The set-up was truly amazing. Lit with tea lights, scattered with bottles of wine and bug spray, the unpretentious atmosphere allowed you to enjoy a wonderful 5-star like meal without having to worry about which fork to use, proper use of etiquette, and forced conversation - everything that comes with dining in a restaurant. Chef Mas's friends were so welcoming too, talked to us and welcomed us like one of their buddies, everyone was so friendly! The backyard setting was perfect for meeting new and interesting people, and allowed us to just relax and enjoy the food for what it was - simple, elegant, and AMAZING. I think what Chef "Mas" and his friends are doing is great, to provide incredible food, bring together great people-and all in an atmosphere that allows the two to create something memorable and magical. and the menu changes every week, and generally comprises of an appetizer, first course, second course, and dessert. This week it says "the menu will be updated after a trip to the market" - how fresh is that? And of course he gladly makes changes ahead of time if you have any food related issues or vegetarian friendly requests. cost is a $25 CASH donation, and BYOB, but they provide some beer and wine for those who forget.
