    Band was amazing but it was over the top loud when restaurant was packed. French onion soup was not hot but rest of food….salad with crab cake and filet mignon sandwich was really good. Service started off great but then the wait staff disappeared; wanted coffee and dessert as well as get a meal to go but the kitchen closed without waiter asking if we wanted anything else…..too bad to end a nice night that way.

    We enjoyed our first dining experience there very much. The staff were attentive and nice, the menu has lots of variety, influenced by the different cultures and history, as Georgia was a cross road. The tableware such as wine glass, etc are sophisticated.

    Wonderful service and delicious food in a subdued and intimate atmosphere. We had a nice time catching up with old friends whom we could actually hear. Disregard the exterior shopping center and step into India.
