    We dined at Cuts as a party of 8 as we are in town for the Dallas Safari Club Convention. The service was good and the food was excellent- everyone in the party was very happy. Definitely on the pricey side but what can you expect in a nice restaurant in Downtown Atlanta. Just be prepared to drop a pretty penny. A good place for a group though, and definitely make a reservation.

    Poor Calvin’s was a wonderful Christmas gift from our daughter and son-in-law! The ambience was warm and cozy which was perfect for a chilly January night. The staff was super friendly and helpful. JoJo was our server and did so impeccably! He gave us the background of the restaurant and Chef Calvin, a detailed explanation of the menu and recommended specials. The food was very tasty and perfect comfort food for a cold evening. We ended the meal by sharing the pound cake which was toasted on the outside while moist on the inside, covered with a delicious bananas foster and topped with strawberry ice cream. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

    This was about the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to. The views are spectacular. The service is exceptional. It is pricy, but the ambiance was so nice I didn't think about it. It will be our special occasion place for dinner.

    This is the restaurant I've been dying to find since moving to Atlanta 3 years ago. This is officially the best brunch PERIODT. The vibe is so cool, so O4W. The hostess has the mostest and our server was so sweet and fun. Our new years day brunch was the total package. We're already planning our second meal later this week. I will be a regular.
