Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Vinings

Our first visit. This was very convenient, tasty, different (for us) and affordable. The food, beverages and service were suburb. I ordered a newly discovered cocktail, The Godfather, and the bartender came to the table, indicated he had heard of it before and then asked what ratio I preferred between the bourbon and Amaretto. For dinner, I had the special, a Wild Boar Lasagna w/ sweet potato "pasta," which was excellent, while my wife went light with a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. Even the bread was a couple notches above what we normally are served and the croutons on the salad, some of the best we've ever tasted, were made from it (better than cornbread croutons but just as light). The portions were plentiful and the leftovers will be enjoyed tomorrow! Throughout, the staff were very attentive, including the manager and owner. Even the valet was prompt in bringing our car to the front door. The meal and beverages cost less than $100 and considered the quality of the food and service, it was a bargain.

The chocolate cake and carrot cake were both excellent. Some of the best desserts we’ve had at a restaurant. Tanner was great!

We experienced the winter chalet. We loved the seating options and the cocktails (especially the espresso martini) were great and we also ordered the sliders and the gnocchi was amazing too.

I really enjoyed the omelette with butternut squash, spinach, onions, and whipped feta cheese. Also appreciated and took advantage of being able to order collards and black eyed peas for luck on New Year’s Day.

Excellent service! Like top quality. Food was really good. I prefer the yellow tail jalapeno at a different restaurant but Umi’s is very good. Love the lobster toban-yaki. Spider roll was yummy. Sake negiri also tasty. Chocolate bento box dessert was amazing. It’s pricey but we will return for special occasions.
