Best restaurants near me in Candler-McAfee, GA

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.

Great wine and snacks, really cool music and vibes!

The food and service are always great. It can be a bit loud and for older people, difficult to hear conversations. It’s $$$ but most restaurants today feel way more expensive than 2 years ago so probably just par for the course.

Our server Eric was wonderful and very informative when it came to the dishes on the menu. He was polite and had great customer service when celebrating my dad’s birthday. My dad loves this restaurant, as we have been before for Father’s Day brunch. We will most definitely be back!

First time dining at 256 restaurant. Truly enjoyed the experience and ambience. Waiter was excellent and the meal was great!
