    I have always loved Sweet Auburn, and my recent visit to celebrate my birthday was no exception. As always, the food was delicious, and the bartender crafted some super tasty cocktails. But on this particular occasion, I had the unique opportunity to meet one of the owners (Anita). I mentioned I was there for my birthday, and next thing I know, I get a surprise banana pudding for dessert - candle and all! My server (Diamond) also shined (no pun intended). She was knowledgeable about the menu, conversational, and friendly. My visit was more than just a delicious meal, it was a wonderful experience. Precisely what you dine-in for! Looking forward to my next visit!

    I booked a last-minute reservation at Crescent In The City for a friend’s birthday, with a relatively large party of 10. Despite the short notice, the staff handled our request to adjust the reservation time gracefully, ensuring we had plenty of time before the kitchen closed. Now, on to the experience itself: the food was simply outstanding! Every dish was perfectly seasoned and appropriately priced, making it one of the best dining spots in Atlanta. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we all felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the evening. The highlight of the night was the crofle—10/10 recommend! Crescent In The City truly stands out as a top restaurant experience.
