About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views

At The Falls, we believe that there is a better way to do dinner. We believe that cooking great food builds communities and dining together builds relationships. Going out to dinner shouldn’t leave you feeling ripped off, still hungry, or wishing you had just stayed home.

When you visit our restaurant, we take great responsibility for giving you an experience that will leave a smile on your face and your senses delighted. The Falls is decidedly local: locally owned, locally sourced, and focused on our local community. Whether it is a special occasion or just a random Tuesday, we look forward to having you over for dinner.

The environment is the best in Athens. But we come to eat. The lamb was dry, and flavorless, risotto was starchy and like the asparagus, under cooked. The bun on the hamburger completely fell apart,. A fork was needed. This was our third bad meal. Beet carpaccio was delicious, but was so little food, four small bites—tops.

We have eaten at The Falls a number of times. The food is always good. On this occasion, the food was excellent and the service was great. On other visits, the service has been a little spotty. The dining room is attractive and the patio is very nice. It's a solid choice. The prices are a little high for Athens, but some of the choices are reasonably priced.

Grossly understaffed. Empty tables weren’t bussed the entire time we were there even though there were only around 7 tables of people eating. Food was slow and just ok. I won’t hurry back.
