Wonderful restaurant with amazing menu! The food was delicious and gourmet level. The service was superb. Our server Justin was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We were recommended to try this place and decided to go for our daughter’s birthday. So glad we did! What a find! The chef himself came out and introduced us to the menu and congratulated our daughter! Our daughter got a complimentary dessert after dinner and a handwritten card signed by the chef, our server and the whole staff on duty that night! It was such a memorable and pleasant experience! Thank you for the beautiful evening.

I was kinda nervous that you had to get dressed up to come here but you don’t. We sat outside with the beautiful sunset, in the breezy air. The patio was the place to be on such a great weather day.
The waiter was very nice and friendly and gave real suggestions on drinks and the food and gave great descriptions of what things were.
The food was really great upscale food. We had the deviled eggs and this sourdough bread thing to start both of them were delicious. We had the scallops, hangar steak, mushroom ravioli and the burger. Everyone was quite satisfied with the portion, taste, quality and presentation of their plate.
The cocktails were easy to drink which could be really dangerous…

A locally-rooted restaurant featuring seasonal sophisticated dishes, with a laid back lofty atmosphere.
The culinary team without a doubt focuses to incorporate unique flavor combinations to help tie all their dishes together. The intricate plating is not only eye catching, but the dishes deliver lots of bold flavors. The kitchen is an open concept to the guests eye, and helps showcase the hard work behind the scenes that is carefully crafted into each dish before sending to your table.
The four stars for food is based on a few factors:
-We dined around the 7:30 hour at the bar and a few dishes were already sold out. Leading us to pick other selections. It honestly surprised me a bit, considering how many seats the restaurant accommodates.
-I did have to send back my hanger, as it was cooked on the rarer side than medium rare. Although the service team, especially Britt was on top of it.
-Favorite dish was honestly dessert, we were so full, but convinced by Britt to try one. Corn Mousse was Devine, the caramel popcorn makes the dish; well done Chef Gus.
Their bar + wine program: we loved the various curated dynamic cocktails. Too, the wines by the glass selection feature around the world varietals.
All in all, we will be back for another experience.

Excellent experience beginning to end!
My company hosted a retirement celebration for one of our coworkers here and it was a wonderful night. We were on the porch and it got a bit breezy so they pulled down the covers and we had heaters plus the fireplace – so cool! We had two servers for the total party and they were spectacular – we never wanted for anything.
Although I only got a few food pictures, I tried several different dishes and every single one was delicious. I really enjoyed the experience and everyone left happy.

Excellent restaurant! This is one of those places that you will love if you love food. It’s a place that you can be adventurous and try things you otherwise wouldn’t because everything is delicious! Have gone several times in the past year and even hosted a holiday party here because I wanted to share the food with the people with whom I work. Cocktails are amazing. Get the Ghosted. Devour the schnitzel.

Came here for a business dinner and was genuinely impressed. The food is downright amazing, with a wide variety of dishes that feel both creative and well-executed — and the cocktails are just as good. When we first arrived the atmosphere was quiet, which made conversation easy, but as the place filled up it definitely got louder. We weren’t shouting, but we did have to raise our voices a bit.
Service was friendly and attentive, just a touch on the slow side — nothing terrible, but it could’ve moved a bit quicker.
Overall, a great spot with excellent food and drinks and a lively atmosphere.

Went here for my mom’s birthday. We sat outside with 8 guests. Loved the outside area, service was phenomenal, cocktails are amazing! The food was good but for some reason I remember there being more choices at the Roswell location many years ago? My favorite was the steak! The schnitzel was sweet wasn’t a fan, I don’t eat octopus but everyone said it was the best they had, charcuterie was great! Overall the place is really good! Would definitely recommend!!

Good god this place is incredible!!! Every dish we had was better than the last and each one was a masterclass in perfectly balanced flavors! Alpharetta is lucky to have such a fantastic chef who is clearly so passionate and has a beautiful and clear vision. I feel lucky to live so close by!
The atmosphere is exactly what you want to wind down (or up?! ) on a Friday night! Great lighting, cool interior and artistic design, and great overall vibes! We ordered so much food because we were so hungry and it was all just perfect. The cocktails were superior! Our server, Julio, was just the best!! So approachable and super knowledgeable about all the dishes. He made an already awesome experience over the top excellent!!
I can’t wait to come back and am so excited to see what this relatively new restaurant goes from here!

Foundation Social Eatery and the amazing Operating Partner, Nick and fabulous Chef, Mel made October 24th a night to remember! I chose to have my post wedding ceremony dinner here on the patio with 25 guests. I worked with Nick along the way to plan the most amazing experience! We offered a cocktail hour with three passed apps, all absolutely fantastic! Then served a sit down 3 course meal at one table which was my vision and main request! Service was fantastic and the food was out of this world! Not a single complaint. This restaurant takes zero shortcuts and we made the right decision hosting a meal we will remember forever here!
