    Love, LOVE this hidden gem. We always sit at the bar and have best service! The martinis are ice cold and the blue cheese stuffed olives are fantastic! Split a salad with your dinner mate and don’t sleep on the mussels-they are out of this world delicious! Try the pork chop, steak frites, branzino, crab cakes, or prime rib—everything here is delicious!

    My husband and I went to by George for Valentine's Day. The Candler Hotel was beautiful and the restaurant didn't disappoint. The ambience was great and so was the food. Deonna, our server was top notch. If you're lucky to have her as your server, you will be well taken care of. I have recommended the restaurant to all my friends as a place where they can dress up and have a truly special evening.

    We celebrated our anniversary weekend with a Friday night dinner at Max Lagers. Our server, Kris, was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu experience, and helped the night to be enjoyable. We had the fried okra for starters, the cowboy ribeye for our main course, finished with a delicious helping of bread pudding. The best fire grilled steaks!!! Everything was great. We found a true gem in downtown Atlanta that we will be sure to come again!
