Food Scene
The brunch is great! The service is excellent. My favorite appetizer is the Crown Royal Biscuits! This restaurant can have a long wait if there is a large group visiting, but otherwise, you will not be dissatisfied when you leave. Request Amber as your waitress if you can and tell her that I sent you! She will make sure you are taken care of.

Getting around
Driving is the easiest way to get around
The MARTA Train station is less than 5 miles away. This can be used to take you into Downtown, straight to State Farm Arena and The Mercedes Benz Arena.
Uber and Lyft are great to use, especially if you plan on drinking as there are often occasions road blocks in the area.
