Nature & Parks
Morgan Falls Overlook Park, located in Sandy Springs just 15 minutes south of central Roswell, is a family-friendly outdoor space that opened in 2010. Situated on the banks of Bull Sluice Lake, the park offers expansive playgrounds, walking trails, picnic areas with pavilions and river views. It's a peaceful place for everyone to enjoy, with clean public bathrooms and opportunities for activities like kayaking and leisurely walks.
This place was awesome! The walk down to the dock was a small hike, but it was all worth it! We enjoyed a lovely day on the water in our SUPs with our sweet dog Oskar and had the BEST time! We had a picnic with a delicious Italian sub from Publix and soaked up the awesomeness of day while paddling and floating.

The place is a hidden gem. So peaceful...family friendly....beautiful friendly ...and a covered pavilion for social events like cookouts, reunions, picnics, etc scenery is beautiful. Swings for couples to sit in and lookout at the water..

A very well kept park with aspects for all ages. There is a children's playground for young families, a green space for sport scrimmage, a few viewpoints to take in the scenery, and a short hiking trail to immerse yourself in nature and stretch your legs. Great for families and a relaxing picnic or hangout, lacking for an avid outdoor enthusiast.

I love the scenery here it’s beautiful. Lots of places to sit and stroller friendly. Beautiful lake and cute play ground with swings for adults to look over the lake too. Nice spot that’s convenient to get to as well. I will be bringing my little girl here regularly as she gets older.

I like this place, and I've been here several times a month. Saw film shooting going on once near the dam. The garden is good and peaceful if you want to sit and read books. I took my 2 friends here, my roommates aunt who came from India we both visited this place and she loved it too, my colleague and his twins loved this place and found and perfect spot for thir kid's photography. So basically whoever I took here they all loved this cute little place. There is a small house far inside the mountains on the other side of the lake and it looks cute.

Chattahoochee Nature Center is a 127-acre educational facility in Georgia, offering paths and a discovery center with animals and nature exhibits. The center showcases local flora and fauna, featuring a greenhouse with native plant displays, gardens, aquaria, aviaries housing rescued reptiles, amphibians, and birds of prey. Visitors can explore the forest, wetland, and river habitat while stepping into the secret world of the Chattahoochee River at the Discovery Center.
We fluttered into the most magical day at the Butterfly Festival—and it was pure joy from start to finish! My 3-year-old was in butterfly heaven. 💕 She wore her favorite butterfly dress (because obviously you have to match the butterflies 🦋) and spent the whole day twirling, giggling, and chasing wings. We got to make butterflies, feed them nectar, and even had one land right on her little finger—it was like they knew she was one of them! 💫 The puppet show had her belly laughing, and the butterfly crafts made her feel like a little artist. And let’s not forget the ice cream break to cool down from the sunny 90° weather 🍦—because all good adventures need sprinkles! It was a perfect mommy-and-me date, full of magic, sunshine, and a whole lot of wonder. Thank you to the Nature Center for creating a space where curiosity can soar and little ones can feel like fairy queens of the garden! 🧚‍♀️💜

I had a great time as a solo visitor. They have an amazing variety of native plants and flowers, and in turn has abundant opportunity to spot native insects and birds. In summer it’s very hot, so plan to bring water and wear appropriate clothing. I brought my lunch, and there is plenty of seating and tables to rest outdoors. They had a small selection of native plants on sale which can be purchased at the lobby counter.

The Chattahoochee Nature Reserve is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how peaceful and well-kept the grounds are. The trails are beautifully maintained and easy to follow, offering the perfect mix of shaded pathways, open views, and spots to pause and take in nature. We loved the opportunity to see wildlife up close—birds of prey in their sanctuary, playful chipmunks, and even a beaver along the water’s edge. The educational displays and signs made it a fantastic learning experience for our homeschool day, tying in lessons about ecosystems, conservation, and local habitats. The staff and volunteers clearly care deeply about the animals and the environment, and their passion shines through in how thoughtfully the reserve is organized. It’s a wonderful place to slow down, explore, and appreciate the natural beauty of the Chattahoochee area. Highly recommend for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for an enriching, peaceful outing!

It was a beautiful day. Not too hot. We spent the afternoon discovering Georgia's natural beauty. I recommend better upkeep for the owl cages. The walkways are clear. There is a beautiful mural on the stairs. There is alot of potential here. Wish the folage was removed around the discovery center and not hidden away. We encouraged the scavenger hunt. Overall the boys loved it.

I went ahead and bought an annual pass because I was so excited to make this a part of my routine. There are so many amazing trails. There is a combination of elevation trails and flat. You have options along the way with a provided trail map to mix it up while you’re getting to see so much nature. We enjoyed birds and chipmunks and squirrels and other natural critters.

We were visiting family in Atlanta and we were going to the al fresco concert one evening - arrived early so we could walk the paths. Really nice trails, smooth enough even for kids. Beautifully designed, very well-maintained, with a few wild birds (injured, couldn't be released back to the wild) along the path. The enclosures are impeccably clean, but for me the highlight was visiting the butterfly enclosure. We were given little painting sponges saturated with sugar water, and my five-year-old inner child was squealing ecstaticly! The docent knew her stuff and she was so kind and patient, and obviously delighted to share her enthusiasm with us. Utterly cool experience! Then we spent a chill evening with a picnic dinner listening to music by Café au Lait.

Nice place, very knowledgeable, kind, caring staff. My co-workers and I volunteered here and we had a great time! Be prepared to do hard work, but you'll learn so much while you do it and then have a chance to see all the rehab animals and hear their stories. It's definitely a place worth visiting, volunteering with, and donating to.

Vickery Creek Park

Hiking area
Park
Vickery Creek Park is a picturesque gem nestled in the heart of Roswell, offering visitors a delightful blend of nature and history. This scenic park features a charming historic mill, an enchanting covered bridge, and a stunning man-made waterfall that beckons adventurers. With well-maintained hiking trails winding along both sides of the creek, you can choose between shorter paths with minimal stairs or more challenging routes leading to breathtaking views of the falls. The main trail spans approximately 3.
Really blown away by this gem hidden amid the bustle of the city! There were several areas to park. Quite a few trails with markers throughout to help keep you from getting lost. The bridge was large and well maintained and made for a great photo op. We were here for 3 hours and did not even cross the bridge to check out the mill so plenty to see and makes an excellent day trip! Access to the base of the falls is not necessarily encouraged but also not prohibited! Definitely something you should add to your trail list!
Bonnie B — Google review
Many different paths to take. Markers could have been done better. Very beautiful walk and cool with the canopy of the trees. River was pretty but the little waterfall was disappointing. No trash cans or seating to take breaks. Very rough paths, many rocks and roots. I wouldn't recommend for children or anyone who is any trouble with walking. Free parking.
Joan-Marie K — Google review
Visited after a first half day of rain, so parking easier to find. Trails were well marked, except for a closed trail that extended my hike longer than anticipated.
Jaime E — Google review
Note that there are 2 parking lots: one off Riverside Rd by the Chattahoochee, and one at the covered bridge and mill ruins off Mill St in Roswell. The latter is free, but was completely full the Sunday I went, so I used the former and displayed my National Parks pass to avoid the $5 fee. The hike itself is easily navigated with the maps at every intersection. I managed to do 5 miles by following the park's perimeter. Be sure to find the small falls off Oxbo Rd, and visit the big waterfall and mill ruins on the other side of the covered bridge.
Bob W — Google review
Its a beautiful, peacful place. Parking was easy, the trail to the waterfall itself was quite flat and would be quote easy for most to cross. Overall, recommended to check it out with your family.

Beautiful little hidden gem in Roswell! The Mill Street Waterfall is peaceful and perfect for a quick scenic stop. Easy to access, great for photos, and a nice place to just relax and listen to the water. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.
HASAN — Google review
The trails are well maintained. There were even benches and trashcans. The educational signs were well done. I was really disappointed to see the water was roped off. On a busy Saturday most people weren't following the rules and were still going down to the water, but the signage states water access is no longer allowed. I'm assuming it's to help cut down on people trashing the water, but it makes this park a lot less desirable to visit and people were still leaving trash regardless so it only punishes those who follow the rules.
Natasha R — Google review
It is a very scenic and peaceful area. The trail is long. I spent about 2 hours exploring but could have easily spent another 2 hours. Lots of areas to explore. The waterfall is gorgeous, and water was refreshing in the Georgia heat. If you love the outdoors, this is a must visit. Oh and free parking.

Roswell Mill Waterfall

(1209)
Roswell Mill Waterfall is a historic site with a series of mills that were once the largest cotton mill in northern Georgia. The area offers beautiful trails, a bridge, and an easy hike to the impressive waterfall. While some visitors may find the parking situation challenging on busy days, the experience of wading in the water by the waterfall is described as awesome. It's considered a fun place for families and provides an opportunity to enjoy nature and history at the same time.
This place was peaceful and beautiful to experience. If you’re looking for a place to take some nice pictures, learn a little history, get some fresh air or walk the different trails this is the place to go. Would definitely recommend you visit, maybe I’ll see you out there because I will be back. Oh did I mention it will cost you absolutely nothing for this experience.

This was a very nice and easy hike through the trail leading to the waterfall! Amazing, Beautiful and Clean! This is how we celebrated our 4th of July 2025.. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 pros: Free parking is always a plus! Park is clean and well kept! I didn't see the restroom facility but everywhere else was beautiful 😍 People were swimming and playing in the water. The walk/hike to the waterfall was nice and peaceful! The bridge and steps felt safe and durable (no wobbles and no loose woods!). Pet friendly. cons: People speeding in the parking area! That was uncool! The guy acted like he couldn't be bothered to slow down before he hurts someone.

Beautiful waterfall with many photo opportunities! Went with a group of friends for a birthday shoot. The trail from the Vickery Creek parking lot is tight and has a fair amount of elevation so be wary of that if you plan to hike to the falls. But when you are there you'll be happy you came! Free parking and viewing.

We had heard about the old mill and waterfall and decided to check in out. We went on a Monday morning and it was nearly empty of people. There is tons of history and information on the old cotton mill and the workings. The dam and waterfall are beautiful and we really enjoyed the covered bridge and historical artifacts. The trail down from the parking lot is steep and there are plenty of stairs on some of the trails so be aware.
Brian M — Google review
Such a beautiful location and photogenic place. Plus hike is truly not that long to get to the waterfall. The place looked really well maintained and everything here was super clean! Although there was a water snake spotted, don’t be afraid because they did absolutely nothing! Had a fun time celebrating my birthday here and i’m surprised how close it was to the city. Definitely a spot to come to if you love nature and want to take amazing photos!
Karlah B — Google review
Felt like a little hike and nature vibes for the day and I found this place online which ended up being a perfect match for me and I had a good time walking and exploring a bit. I was also lucky enough to witness my first wedding proposal on the bridge! There’s also a very easy to find by walking waterfall that a lot of people can sit around but also swim in. I will say there are super steep areas so I’d recommend wearing very comfortable shoes for the walk even if you’re not going for a long while. Parking is very easy, and from what I know is free of cost.

Among the facilities available are various sports fields, tracks for hiking and biking, playgrounds suitable for children of all ages, a disc golf course as well as a recreation center.

I had a very nice experience at this park! It has a large playground for kids of all ages, one is for small kids and the other one for big kids. A splash pad/spray playground that's open from May 24 to August 3, from 10am to 5pm. We visited around 4pm and found it relatively uncrowded, with ample parking right outside the park. The park also has clean washrooms on site and shaded areas perfect for small picnics. It has a disc golf field too but had no discs at the time so couldn’t explore it but it looked good. Additionally, there's a soccer field nearby. Overall, a great place for a fun family outing! Highly recommended and would definitely visit again.
Pallavi H — Google review
This review is more from the disc golf part of the park. This course is so much fun, but be warned it's not the easiest if you're not very accurate. However, if you enjoy a challenge and love a gorgeous park while you walk around this place is perfect. I've played a bunch of courses around the Atlanta metro area and this is definitely one of if not the best to me even from just the pure calming walk this park provides. It's even perfect for your dog companion as there's plenty to explore. But definitely better if you're dog is well trained to walm without a leash but still good if they must be tethered. Overall, noticing the numerous tennis and pickle ball courts, baseball, softball and soccer fields and even a playground next to the main disc golf area, this park has more than enough for anyone regardless of what outdoor activity you enjoy. Check it out!

Today was my first time visiting this park. There is an outdoor gym that was a pretty good workout. Then I followed the trail around to a big splash pad that I’m sure is open during the summer. Then happened to find a art gallery. It was open and I met the two lovely ladies who were painting. They had all hand made art some which was already sold on display. They informed me that they host periodic events. I’m looking forward to what else they have coming Follow my Instagram @rosadivina29 and check out my highlights for more places I’ve visited!

Nestled in the heart of Roswell, Georgia, Ippolito's Neighborhood Italian is a charming eatery that captures the essence of traditional Italian cuisine. With a menu brimming with beloved classics like pizza and calzones, this relaxed restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere perfect for family gatherings or casual dinners. The Bocce Room at Ippolito's serves as an intimate wedding venue, providing a romantic setting that balances coziness with ample space for dining and dancing.
We attended an event that was hosted in the Bocce Room. It was elegant, swanky, and perfect! The Caesar salad, antipasto, spinach salad, lasagna and Alfredo pasta were all so delicious. The strawberry cheesecake for dessert and coffee were a perfect pairing! The service was next to none with prompt attention to details! My wife and I had a delightful evening.

Food was good, especially the garlic rolls which were hot and amazing! I was surprised entrees didn't include a house salad like most other Italian eateries like Provinos, Frankie's, Bambalini's, or even chains like Olive Garden. Dining room was open style and dark and seemed a bit noisy. Service was good, but not above average. It's worth visiting but not on the top of my rotation list for Italian food.

I had never had a bad experience in this country since I started living here. Unfortunately, we were served by a manager who at first seemed attentive, but then never came back to the table to ask if we needed anything else. When I went to find someone to help us, two people came, and then he came and said that he was helping other tables and that he had served us — that we didn’t speak Spanish, even though he was the one who started speaking Spanish from the beginning, which makes no sense. He said he had told another waitress to take care of us and that she had forgotten, which is why no one came back to our table. Then he told us that if we didn’t want to come back, we just shouldn’t — that he would respect that. I don’t understand how someone with such a rude attitude can be in charge of a team. My husband told him that if he was acting like that, it was probably because we

This was our first time visiting and it was unusually busy for a Saturday at 5:45pm; however, we were willing to wait 20 min for a table. It was well worth the wait! Even with a packed house and several large groups, the service was fantastic (thanks, Mark), and the food came out quickly and amazingly good! We did not order dessert but sat near the fresh dessert fridge. Next time we will save room because all the cakes and pies looked so good! We will be back again soon!

The service was outstanding! Very clean ! The food was the best I have ever had. Real Itatian and not out of a box. The salad was fresh and crisp. The garlic rolls was so delicious that I could have just made a meal just from them. The portion size was awesome! Most definitely did not leave hungry. We loved it so much, we reserved the Bocca Room for our son's wedding rehearsal in the coming months. Lisa and Pat is awesome and very friendly. They both answered any questions and very knowledgeable. Can not remember the young lady as our waitress, she was very friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of everything.

American restaurant
Nestled in the charming Historic Roswell, The Mill Kitchen and Bar is a delightful casual eatery that brings a modern twist to Southern cuisine. With its stylishly rustic decor and inviting outdoor seating, it offers the perfect ambiance for enjoying vibrant flavors crafted by Chef Flynn McClanahan. The menu changes with the seasons, ensuring that only the freshest ingredients are used, making each visit unique.
This place has a great atmosphere and the food is also delicious! The outside has two styles of heat lamps for your comfort and the outside is also spacious with plenty of seating. The service is fast and friendly. The drink and grits is very good but the sauce tasted and appeared pre-made and old with a dull color but was still good. I ate prior to noon so not sure if the sauce was from prior day. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Food is delicious, but service is a little slow. Expect to be here for a while if going for lunch. It seems the servers all serve inside and outside tables. We received our appetizer before our drink. The atmosphere is beautiful. I ordered the espresso martini flight -- the standard was good, but the other two were very strong and sweet. I didn't care for them. The patio has beautiful shaded areas.

My wife and I wanted to try here because before we order their Thanksgiving Pre-made meal, we wanted to see how their food was. Well, let me first start with saying, we will be back because everything we tried was amazing. Our waitress was Fiona and she was so nice and did a great job checking on us throughout the entire meal. The interior design gives a very peaceful yet elegant vibes. They also have outside and inside seating. It is a bit expensive which we went during dinner time hours. The only small issue we had was there was numerous horse flies that kept trying to land on our food which we sat inside. Other than that, we were pleasantly pleased and will definitely be coming back.

Everything about the service, food, and atmosphere was wonderful. Our server Krista was excellent. She surprised us with the pimento cheese balls since it was our first visit, and it made our visit so memorable. She was great at highlighting menu items and made us feel so welcome. The panzanela salad with grit cakes was SO good. The shrimp and grits were solid, although it could have used another shrimp or two for being a large plate. All in all, The Mill has earned its place as one of my favorite spots in Roswell for dine-in brunch or lunch. It's fairly busy even on a Monday. We arrived soon after opening and had no problem getting a seat, but I would make a reservation next time. This was the perfect brunch stop for a morning hike on the Vickery Creek trail. Would definitely recommend. I don't recall a changing table in the restroom. Pros: service, food, indoor and outdoor seating options Cons: restrooms could be cleaner

We celebrated a family birthday at The Mill Kitchen and Bar, and it was exactly what we hoped for — special, delicious, and easy. The shrimp and grits were excellent, the avocado toast hit perfectly, and the croissant French toast was legit. The kids’ menu is also fantastic, which makes it a great spot for families. It can get a little loud in there (no matter the time of day), but that’s part of the lively brunch vibe we’ve come to expect. We love coming here on weekends because you can actually make a reservation — which is huge. Our table of 13 was easily accommodated after booking just two days ahead. Always a great experience, and always worth the visit.

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, and unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. Despite understanding that weekends are busy, it took nearly 20–25 minutes after being seated just to get water. My beer didn’t arrive for about 15 minutes, and we had to request crayons and paper for our 4-year-old since no one offered them proactively. The food also took quite a while to arrive, and while it was okay, it wasn’t anything memorable. On top of that, the air conditioning was very poor, which made the wait even more uncomfortable. For two small plates and one big plate, the total came to around $60–65. Given the slow service, average food, and uncomfortable atmosphere, it didn’t feel worth the price.

The Mill is an American restaurant with a wonderful ambience. From yhe outside it looks like a large rambling mansion that was converted into a restaurant. There is an outdoor patio, shaded for the summer heat with an outdoor fireplace for the cooler months. Oddly enough, the entrance outs you square in the fave of the kitchen and the server pickup area. To the left is what appears to be an enclosed porch with large windows and sunlight streaming into a large dining area. To the right is a double sided bar, well stocked and with great bartenders The menubis heavy of seafood, but also has steaks. The preparation is a little bourgeois with interesting treatments of savory and sweet. For some odd reason there is a fascination with pimento cheese. Service was a little slow but pleasant enough. Wine pours are generous. I found it better for drinks and appetizers as opposed to dinner.. but respectable nonetheless

We did our rehearsal dinner in the private upstairs room. It was lovely, and the food was good as well. There were a few service issues that are worth mentioning. We did a plated dinner, and just before everyone sat down, we were asked if we had the required name cards with who ordered what. We were not asked to do this prior to the event, though it makes sense. We figured it out after asking some folks and having them print name tags on the spot. It caused a bit of unnecessary stress in the moment and wish it had been mentioned to us in our email exchanges. When we concluded dinner, our hostess gave us the bill and walked away after walking through it with us. Since gratuity was already included and my card was on file, I thought we were good to leave. I got a call in the car saying we had to come back to close out the tab. When asked why my card on file couldn’t be used, the reason was “the manager who booked the event isn’t here”. That was pretty frustrating as well. The hostess and servers were friendly and we enjoyed the space, but those two aspects related to the private party caused some stress. Overall, it was easy to book and the coordinator was responsive, but there were just a few details missing.

Italian restaurant
Amalfi Ristorante is a cozy trattoria located in Roswell, GA, known for its traditional Italian dishes and selection of wines. Voted as the best Italian restaurant in Atlanta, it offers an authentic dining experience with dim lighting and Italian music. The family-owned establishment has been serving delectable Italian cuisine for over 15 years, creating a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of a home away from home.
Wow - what a great “find” here in Roswell! This older restaurant not on Canton Street is the best Italian food I’ve had in Roswell so far! I’ve been on a mission to try new places in 2025 and my buddy actually suggested this one. I’m sure I’ve passed it many times but never looked it up. It’s definitely unassuming but well worth visiting. It feels, smells and tastes like a traditional Italian restaurant in all the right ways. Our service was impeccable. The food was excellent. The overall experience was outstanding.

I was nervous to come here because I read the bad reviews. But our experience was very nice. Our server was the perfect amount of attentive and very knowledgeable. The restaurant was very clean and cute and I daresay quiet, which was nice. I ordered a pineapple Cosmo that was good and the linguine with clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops. The shrimp was over cooked but everything else was perfectly cooked. Oh. We also got the calamari with the spicy sauce. It. Was. To. Die. For. I had a bite of my sisters meatball (that was the size of my fist) soooooo good! 100% recommend and would return.

I came here with my boyfriend for homecoming. We had the calamari, rigatoni lorenzo, and the fettuccine alla boscaiola. The portion sizes were generous and every dish was flavorful. The sauces struck a perfect balance between being light and creamy, and we were particularly blown away by the rigatoni lorenzo. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed our meal. I look forward to coming back.

Food was OK. I had chicken Parmesan. It came with pasta. The bread was good but it had to ask for a refill on that. The atmosphere was loud overall it could’ve been better but it was OK.

First time at this restaurant. We were told we could grab a drink at the bar while we waited for our table, so we tried the house cab and it was a very good wine! Once seated, we were greeted by a very nice server and he took very good care of us. The Caesar salad was amazing. Two others at our table ordered the salad after the salads were brought out because they were so good! The spaghetti sauce was not my favorite, but overall a great time, great food and great company!

Very loud hard to hold a conversation. Some of our party’s food was very good. Mine was not, however, the tiramisu dessert was amazing.

I love this place. I think it’s one of the best authentic Italian American style restaurants in Georgia. Family owned and family run, mom is in the back making the sauce it’s all in here. The Marinara is exquisite. I have never had a bad meal here or a bad time here. This time we ordered the calamari for an appetizer - Man was it soft pounded perfectly breaded perfectly and the marinara sauce deliciously went together very very well popped in your mouth flavors. The veal Limon was amazing perfectly pounded to the perfect width, breaded so lightly then pan fried - perfect flavor. the cream sauce and the capers just went very well together. The next thing is not on their online menu so beware that their menu has changed. I don’t know what to call it but it was a large noodle pasta with arugula lettuce and Finnell sausage and a white cream sauce - it was delicious!!!! I apologize for the photos - I took them after the fresh Parmesan grated cheese was added on top so it’s hard to see. But let me tell you the dish was flavorful and rich - it was freaking delicious. Love the atmosphere all old school male waiters only, cool bar quaint seating and tables. Outside parking is limited so come early because they don’t take reservations.

Little Alley Steakhouse

$$$$very expensive
Steak house
Little Alley Steak is a top-notch American steakhouse in Roswell, brought to the food scene by F&H Food Trading Group. The restaurant takes pride in offering high-quality meat and hand-crafted cuts, with a menu that celebrates good beef. Housed in a 1920s-inspired space, the decor features antique meat hooks as light fixtures and a chalkboard sketch of butcher cuts on the wall.
I took my mother and girlfriend here for a nice evening because I just came back from deployment. Everything was perfect and an amazing experience. I grew up just down the road and only recently discovered this place due to a close friend recommending it while on deployment. I will definitely be coming back in the future to spoil my loved ones. The steaks we all got were cooked perfectly and very tasty and the drinks were delicious. Out standing place.

Today was my first time eating at Little Alley steakhouse. Frankie steakhouse in Duluth used to be my favorite, but this is my new favorite. I never thought that I would find A steakhouse in Georgia that beats Chops, Bones,, McKendrick, Hals steakhouse and now beats Frankie's My server, Matt made the first time experience here, absolutely remarkable. His recommendations were on point and he even has a good sense of humor. He's efficient and very wonderful personality. Excellent service. I will definitely be coming back and recommending all my friends.

Ordered the salmon with puréed potatoes and green beans. We ordered mushroom risotto, lobster mac & cheese and brussel sprouts for the table. The salmon was good. The sides were okay. We ordered the chocolate cake and flan for dessert - both were good. This wasn’t my first visit. Considering the cost of the meal, the food should be absolutely amazing.

Amazing restaurant in a beautiful street. Their choices of wine are amazing and the selection of steak cooked in so many delicious ways. And then there is the desert, couldn't help but get the creme brulee and peach bourbon cheese cake, 10/10!

My wife and I ate here today for the first time, and our meal was EXCELLENT! We enjoyed the filet and NY strip steaks. On the side, we ordered the mushroom confit, charred broccoli, and au gratin potatoes. Everything was DELICIOUS. The Mother Of All Mimosas were very tasty. Our server Miranda was excellent and professional. The atmosphere is cozy and dimly lit. The noise is moderate, but you can still carry on a conversation. We highly recommend this establishment.

Five Star Service!!! I visited the Roswell location for the first time and it was a nice experience. The servers really seem to enjoy being at work and that’s always great to see. Food- the Rockefeller Oysters were not as good as the Buckhead location, they sort of blend the spinach mix so it’s evenly distributed and this time was noticeably different. My center cut filet was so delicious, cooked to perfection, and served nicely. The Ribeye was very thick, and not as “soft/fluffy” as the filet, so it’s a preference. Their triple Mac was tasty, however, the creamed corn wasn’t sweet enough for me. But thankfully my server took care of it without an issue. Lastly, the Oreo cheesecake was phenomenal!😋 I don’t usually order dessert but I’m so happy I did. Our drinks were nice and strong as well lol, definitely recommend!

First, Lauren was our server and she was phenomenal! Took great care of us and paced the meal perfectly. Knew answers to every question and gave great recommendations. Atmosphere was more casual than a traditional steak house but I loved the charm... And they definitely aren't lacking in any area compared to other Atlanta steakhouses I've been to, this is now my favorite establishment. The oysters, meatballs, and tuna tartare were great starters. Steaks were all cooked perfectly and the bone marrow butter was a perfect compliment. Cream corn and twice baked potato were just right. I had two cocktails which were both perfectly balanced. Bramble smash was my favorite. I finished the meal with the bread budding which was the best of the 4 desserts on our table. Pineapple upside down cake was also very good. I highly recommend this spot and we will return.
