Ok let me first say that I haven't dined here yet!!…read more I was looking at hosting a bridal shower in the area, where I'm out of town so dont have a way to come visit/scope out the place. Shannon was so accomodating, he sent me photos of the place where the shower would be, and answered a ton of questions for me. The level of service from him was impeccable, especially when I was pretty clear from the beginning that I was looking at quite a few different places. We ultimately chose somewhere else due to budget and we wanted a more "light and airy" vibe. I just wanted to drop a line here and say that this spot is really perfect for a smaller shower and for a pretty competitive price!

I did not know what to expect because the area seemed like upscale IMO and I was a little hesitant I would be treated a certain way. I was not . The place was very clean and nice, also has a fancy feel to it. The food i had tasted amazing, but the rice was a little on the salty side for me. I am not sure if its a southern food thing ( I am from the other side of the U.S) but, seasoned rice has been salty to me all over GA. I would definitely recommend this place to someone though. They had my favorite beer on tap "left hand milk stout Nitro" good food and amazing service.

Mini bowling is also available here (I've never done it) but it looks awesome! Great date night vibes! Servers will take your orders at tables too which is nice so you can relax and enjoy the night.

It's been a while since my husband and I have been up here, and with patio season and summer…read more(almost officially) here, we thought this would be a great time to revisit! We ordered the deviled eggs appetizer, my husband ordered the crab cakes, and I ordered the lettuce wraps app as my main. The crab cakes were really good (I had a bite or two), and the buns were unexpected but delicious! The lettuce wraps were also very good, but honestly not what I thought a lettuce wrap would be. I've seen other pictures of them that were much more traditional finger food for brunch, so not sure if they changed them entirely or if this is just dinner version. Tasty, but obviously not for picking up... it would be tricky to wrap them up in that tiny piece of lettuce and I did not want to get dripped on with the sauce. So, if knife and fork lettuce wraps were a thing - this would be it! I think the bib lettuce makes it hard as it's so frail and flimsy, so if I had any suggestions, maybe it would be to try wrapping them from a head of lettuce for a bigger, more firm piece of lettuce. Dessert was a strawberry shortcake. Nice finish to a richly flavored dinner. My husband asked for an espresso and it came in a huge mug. Not sure if this is standard, or if they ran out of demitasse cups. Service was more attentive on front end, but less as they got busy and our server got more tables. I asked another server for water refill and then a manager brought us a dessert menu since our server disappeared. He showed up with the check and we had to tell him we wanted dessert. We made reservation through open table and got seated immediately. When we left, the little lobby area was packed so we definitely went at the right time. I think the servers were getting a little overwhelmed (and I cannot blame them). Still a great view and worth the hassle of finding parking in downtown Alpharetta.

It was warm outside and warm = rooftop bar. It was the start of a great night. Let's get into it! Location and Parking They are located in downtown Alpharetta on South Main Street. The restaurant sits on the fifth floor of an office building. There is no parking directly by the building, however there is free street parking as well as a deck that is free and is a few minutes walk. If you can, I would recommend taking the walk so you're able to see all of the other shops and restaurants and enjoy the live music that's sure to be playing. Venue and Atmosphere When you walk in you're automatically greeted by the hostess. If you are going on a weekend I absolutely would recommend having a reservation, especially if you want to sit outside. We did not, so it was essentially every woman for themselves. In addition to the tables, there were some couches that were first come first served. We lucked up and a woman was leaving and gave us her table. Food and drinks Since this was our first stop we didn't want to fill up too much. We ordered the charcuterie board, which served as a good snack. I ordered their old fashioned made with Knob Creek, my wife had a cider, and our friend has one of their IPA's. Service Service was decent, considering there was a lot going on. With my friend's IPA they were changing the keg and it actually took a while for that to happen, but our server gave my friend another drink at no charge to make up for that fact, which was a nice touch. Verdict I'm not in Alpharetta much, but the next time I am, I'll definitely stop through for a drink and the view. If you're in the area stop on in! Until next time!

We absolutely love this place!…read more My guy wanted to do something really low-key for his birthday this year, so I found this cute little spot, and we decided to give it a try on a Saturday afternoon. I'm so glad we did! The staff was so nice and welcoming, and the food was absolutely amazing. This was honestly some of the best Creole food I've ever had! Everything was flavorful, and we really enjoyed our entire experience. Our server was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She even surprised my guy with some beignets for his birthday, which was such a sweet touch! All in all, we had an awesome time and will definitely be back. This little gem did not disappoint!

Our server was very nice and answered all of our questions. We got the crab dip to start and it was flavorful and a great start to our lunch. My friend ordered the gumbo and said it was very good with a good kick. I got the crawfish mac n cheese which was delightful and a perfect portion in my opinion. I did not find it spicy for anyone who's afraid of spice. We finished up with the beignets and they were fluffy and sweet and just right. Can't wait to come back and try some more of their dishes and some of their drinks.

My son ordered Shrimp and Grits with a side of cornbread. I ordered the Charcuterie as my meal with a side of Brussel sprouts. I also had 2 glasses of wine. The food was very good and filling. Neither of us could finish all of our food. The bill was over $100.00. We were not planning to spend that much at dinner but it was definitely worth it. We don't frequent this area often but if planning an evening out or a splurge, this is a great option. If looking for a casual, economical dinner with the family, there are other options you may want to consider.

The signage out front is even confusing because I think you could still see "Wine Me Down" when I went a few weeks ago. I was looking for a wine bar and was excited when this place popped up in my search. I walked in and quickly realized it was more so a sports hookah lounge. So my review is based off the wine bar expectation. The wine selection was very limited and extremely overpriced for the quality of wine they were offering (Stella Rosa was on the menu, a glass for more than an entire bottle at the store). I only glanced at the food items but those seemed a tad expensive too. If you want to watch a game then I think this could be a good option! I just wish it was more clear what this place is and what the current name is so folks aren't misled.

Finally had a chance to check out Coalition Steak & Seafood in Alpharetta, and once again, Atlanta…read moreEats was spot on with the recommendation! The restaurant is in a really nice area of town in Alpharetta with beautiful surroundings and really nice decor, just a really, really nice part of the city. We started off with the Louisiana spring rolls, Cajun crab dip, and a jumbo lump crab cake. The crab dip was really good, and honestly, all of the appetizers were excellent. For the main course, we had the Parmesan-crusted salmon, jumbo stuffed shrimp with crab, branzino, and blackened redfish. Everything was cooked to perfection, and everybody really enjoyed their dishes. The service started off a little slow, probably because we were waiting on one of our party members, but once things got going, we had impeccable service for the rest of the evening. Shout-out to Jason for taking great care of us! The mixed drinks were really good too. A couple had a little more ice than I would have preferred, but hey, it's summertime in Atlanta, so maybe that wasn't such a bad thing! Parking can be a little challenging. There is a garage on the side of the building, but I believe it's primarily for the apartment complex. We parked there and didn't get a ticket, but street parking was definitely a little difficult. All in all, we had a really good evening. The prices were reasonable, and they even offer a military discount, which definitely made the experience even better. If you're in Atlanta and don't mind taking a drive up to Alpharetta, I definitely recommend giving Coalition Steak & Seafood a try. Good food, good drinks, great service, and a great overall experience!

Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite. We were seated near the kitchen, which wasn't a problem. The restaurant had a soccer game on the TV, but it was quiet and there was no indication anything unusual was about to happen. Without warning, a group of approximately eight staff members gathered just a few feet from our table and erupted into an extremely loud celebration, screaming at the top of their lungs as if they were in a sports bar. The outburst startled us so badly that it literally sent my husband into atrial fibrillation (AFib). He was visibly shaken and extremely upset, and we were prepared to leave immediately. Our waiter could clearly see how distressed we were. Since we had already ordered the lobster bites appetizer, he kindly offered to move us to another table. We appreciated his effort and accepted. We finished the appetizer, but by then the evening was ruined, so we left and had dinner elsewhere. What disappointed us most was the complete lack of management involvement. Our waiter knew exactly what had happened and how upset we were, yet not once did a manager come to our table to apologize, ask if my husband was okay, or acknowledge that the staff's behavior was completely inappropriate for a fine dining restaurant. This wasn't about cheering for a game--it was about professionalism. Guests who choose a steakhouse expect a calm, enjoyable atmosphere, not to be startled by employees screaming just feet away from their table. We have always enjoyed Coalition, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope management addresses this with their staff so no other guests have their evening ruined the way ours was. We will not be back. Later Added: I just found out the Manager was one of the ones screaming. Pathetic! We went to PappaDeauxs which was half the price and honestly better food & calm atmosphere! Not a sports bar!

We have been to many a tapas places in Atlanta and this one is middle of the road at best. However this biggest issue we had was the birthday celebrations. I thought these went out long ago, especially for a place that serves $16 cocktails. It was not just singing and clapping, they have bang on pots and pans. It is loud enough with the concrete floors and high ceilings. There must have been at least 5 of these while we were there. Very annoying. I doubt anyone would miss them. If i want birthday celebrations, I can go to Applebees.

The Bacon Wrapped Dates were some of the best I've ever had. The bacon itself was noticeably high quality and perfectly cooked, which made all the difference. Combined with the sweet dates and glaze, the dish was absolutely outstanding. We both got the Apples & Blue Cheese Salad with serrano ham, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for summer. My friend loved her shrimp tacos as well. The service was warm, attentive, and just super friendly. We sat on the patio and had a relaxing lunch despite the summer heat. Being in the heart of busy downtown Alpharetta, parking can be a bit of a challenge, but that's simply part of the territory and certainly not a knock on the restaurant itself. This wasn't a full dinner experience, just a quick stop while we were in the area, but it definitely lived up to the hype. I'm already looking forward to coming back, spending more time, and exploring the rest of the menu.
