I’m hooked on the Peach Basil Ice Tea. Very refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Our waiter, Arnold (I think that’s his name), was awesome! Very knowledgeable of the menu! And the fact that he’s a foodie made it even better because he described the taste and experience of each item to a tee.”

We tried their salad, oysters, lamb belly, potato gnocchi, pork chop, and their chocolate dessert. Every dish was a piece of art and it was evident that the chef had put in a lot of thought and effort to add great depth to flavor and texture into his food.”

Service was quick, the food was in large portions but it was great and the music was on point! I had the Salmon Cakes and they were good. At the table there were chicken & waffles, fish/shrimp and grits and the seafood dip as an appetizer everyone enjoyed their food. The dip was cheesy but good and the drinks were hittin!! I’ve already made reservations for a visit in June w/ my girlfriends!”

Treehouse Restaurant & Pub

7 Kings Cir NE, Atlanta, GA 30305 | (404) 266-2732

The vibe, music and ambience was low key and chill. Most of the seating is essentially outdoors so felt very comfortable. Brisket is pictured.”

Here’s what one customer says about Whiskey Bird. “This place was super yummy. We went here for brunch and sat at the bar top. The bartender was very friendly and made the overall experience that much better. The food was really food too. I preferred the sliders over the Brussel Sprouts as a starter. The eggs Benedict was really good. Great drinks and fun gift at the end of the meal.”

We went on a Saturday around 11:30 am and were told it would be a 45 minute to an hour wait. Our table was ready in about 30 minutes. We were seated in the small but clean dining room and our waitress was VERY friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We got a pitcher of mimosas for about $30 for the table. What I like about the menu is you can pretty much customize your own meal.”

Buttermilk Kitchen

Here’s what one diner says about Buttermilk Kitchen. “Me, my husband, and my daughter went to Buttermilk Kitchen this morning for breakfast. It is a very cute little restaurant. We was seated after maybe a 5 minute wait. The waiter was awesome. He was training and they both did so good. Checked on us several times and gave great recommendations. The food came out pretty fast and was very very good. We all enjoyed our means and drinks. I had a boozy blue drink and it tasted amazing. And I also had the hash bowl which was very flavorful. My daughter had French toast and a lemonade and she said it was perfect. My husband had the chicken and pancake and he said it was delicious. And the biscuits literally just fell apart as you ate them. They were on point. Go check this place out!”

Here’s what a customer says about Bread & Butterfly. “We tried the breakfast sandwich, poached egg toast, soft omelette, almost croissant, Americano and tea. Everything was absolutely delicious!!! Even the salad that came with the omelette was great. We had to wait for our table for about 15-20 min but it was totally worth it. ( There’s a little courtyard with a fountain right by the cafe) Everyone at the restaurant was very nice, attentive and helpful. There’s also a bar inside and a pretty big menu for drinks and a wine cart.”
