    We had a great brunch! The food was yummy. Our server was Aaron and he was extremely attentive and kind to our family of three. For those with small children—we dined with our 13mo old and though there were only a few tables eating alongside us (one couple, and one with school aged children) there were no high chairs available so our daughter sat on my lap during our meal. We will dine here again!

    We were in Atlanta for Valentines Day (my spouse birthday) so I definitely needed to find a good dinner. Hartley's seemed to have a great menu for their regular dinner menu but I could not find what they were serving for Valentine's Day. But we took a chance. The menu was creative with several good options for each course. The Amuse bouche was an oyster shooter. Lots of flavor! We skipped the soup options and had 2 of the salad options. They were small but full of flavor and presentented nicely. My spouse had the pastaccio crusted lamb. It was a little rare for her (but perfect for me). Both of us enjoyed it. I had the NY strip with their take on sauce bernaise. Steck was a perfect meduim rare and all of the accompniments were great. The deserts we only OK. One, a chocolate mouse creation was delicious but sooo rich I coul donly eat about half of it. The pound cake creation was good but below what the rest of the meal acheived. Given the food, one has to also mention the service. There were always servers in sight and they were as delightful as efficient. The somilier was also very knowledgable and helped us find a great wine. Next time we are in Atlanta, I would definitely go back!
