Dined with Charles and Heather
Ambiance: 5
Cute restaurant located in a small strip mall on Hwy 141 in Johns Creek. Recommended by one of Charles' co-workers. Family-owned restaurant, young couple opened the restaurant with their executive chef. Almost all of their staff were family members.
There's a full bar with surrounding dining tables in the left room behind the hostess stand. We sat in the main dining room.
You can tell that this is a local favorite. It opened fours year ago and was packed when we arrived on a Friday night. The one drawback is that the parking was limited. Beautiful hardwood floors; however, it was very loud and difficult to hear at our table.
Food Quality: 6
Calamari shrimp appetizer was fresh, but the sauce was too runny to adhere to the seafood, leaving the dish tasting bland. Our 2nd appetizer, the melanzane, was delightful and full of flavor. The bread was served with marinara and melted mozzarella cheese - absolutely delectable!
My cannelloni was only mediocre. The short ribs were a bit too salty. The mushroom risotto seemed to be undercooked; the texture was hard, but it was seasoned well. Greg enjoyed their "famous" pounded veal parmigiana. And Charles really liked his lamb chops, devouring every edible inch.
Service: 10
The owner waited on us. Greg asked for hot chocolate. Although this wasn't on the menu, she figured out how to make it with chocolate syrup she purchased for herself earlier that day and brought him a delicious mug of hot chocolate. Our water glasses were refilled continuously throughout the evening, one of the signs I always look for when eating out.
Value: 7
We split two appetizers with Charles and Heather, ordered two entrees, one side order and a martini for $108 (including gratuity).
