    I went twice in one week because I like this restaurant THAT much as a GF food lover. Jules was my server both times and is such a welcoming and warm person. She even remembered me and that I was GF! My favorite items are: -burger (even though  they are known for their top us, the burger cannot be beat, and the gluten-free bun is one of the best I have ever had! -octopus/pulpo (probably my favorite tapas! Octopus cooked incorrectly as a gummy nightmare, but this dish could not have been made better in my opinion!) -broccolini (the crema it comes with his so refreshing and light) -branding (crispy fish and great crispy veggies on the side) -patatas bravas (ALWAYS a fav!) -mushroom flatbread (very very heavy on the cheese and lighter on the mushroom, but still good. The gluten-free flatbread exceeded expectations.) The almond cake with olive oil gelato is fantastic as well.

    It’s a fine dining experience here at Tiny Lou’s. I came here from western Massachusetts where French cuisine is tough to find. From the espresso martini to the glorious halibut, exquisite! A must visit for local Atlanta residents.
