    We dined at S+C for a lunch that was part business and part pleasure. Our experience was outstanding, top to bottom. Helen was the best server and I applaud her hospitality skills, wildly in-depth knowledge of the menu, and instinct for anticipating needs or asks. The food was so good that we went for dessert even though we were full, trusting it would be delightful (it was). Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant and again, huge thanks to Helen—she deserves a raise!

    I had the best time at Rumi’s. The atmosphere was excellent, the food was incredibly good. The drinks were innovative and tasted amazing. I’m glad I chose to spend my Anniversary here. My wife and I loved it, and our waiter Marcus was phenomenal, so knowledgeable on everything and had the best service we could ask for. Would recommend for sure!

    Last night at Little Sparrow we had one of the best meals we’ve had in an American restaurant. The restaurant was very comfortable, not quiet but with a noise level that allowed conversation. Our waitress was great, attentive but not overly visible. All the waitstaff seemed to work well together to take care of the patrons. The menu is not long but has multiple options for different tastes. All of the food was delicious with larger portions than usual at such a nice restaurant. We ended the meal with soft serve topped with apple and caramel - we only planned to eat a few spoonfuls but finished every bite because it was so good. I live in Denver now but look forward to my next trip back to Atlanta so I can return to Little Sparrow!
