    The food was amazing. We had 4 dishes each and every ingredient was so refreshing and just the perfect harmony of flavors. A true pleasure for our palettes. The only downfall was the lack of lighting. Several tables all had their phones out trying to read the menu. Thankfully, the superb recommendations of our server was spot on and no menu was needed! Amazing service, amazing food, bring a flashlight.

    We ALWAYS have the best experience of any restaurant! We come here every 6 months when we are in Atlanta for market. They always remember us by name and they go over & beyond to make our experience memorable! Fantastic service, food, atmosphere & the staff is so friendly and energetic! We always have a dance in the aisles after 8:00 when the music turns up! Always decorated for the holidays and such a wonderful, eclectic spot! We do miss the Professor & mom!

    We eat at Sweet Auburn every couple of months and enjoy the quality and variety of the fo and good service. Almost always we dine with friends. Conversation is a key part of our dining experience. Background music frequently does not add to the quality of our dining experience. Yesterday we asked for the speaker near our table to be moderated and it was.
