    Valentine experience was not what I expected. Seating was 'very tight' not conducive to intimate dining.

    We came here on Valentine’s Day so had a special menu. The food was excellent. Lots of good choices. Byob so that’s a plus. However very small place with close tables. Although, still a nice ambience. I will be back to taste the food on the regular menu.

    Excellent cuisine and service on a quiet side street in the village of Lawrenceville. Inviting warm atmosphere on a cold winter's night. Good size portions, BYOB, and friendly accommodating staff.

    I took a friend to Vidalia for dinner to celebrate her birthday. We had an amazing meal. The food and service and atmosphere was amazing! Our server Joe was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. The only complaint I had was that we had a 5 PM seating; when they open. We were sat right in back of the host stand. The next party to come in was an incredibly loud gentleman and his wife. I mean off the charts loud. They sat them directly in back of us. I know the volume of their guests is nothing within their control but if we were the only two couples in the dining room, why sit us back to back?  Another couple came in who this couple knew. They were sat on the other side of the dining room. This loud gentleman proceeded to have a full conversation with people at this other table on the other side of the dining room, throughout our meal. The staff knew this was happening and should’ve offered to have them join each other or move them closer to each other. It was extremely disruptive to us and others.
