Yum! I had the chicken it was mouth watering and juicy. My friend had a steak so tender you could cut it with a butter knife! Nice atmosphere, great service HUGE wine list .
Great atmosphere and prices for a nice lunch . The Power Lunch dish is amazing, and the kitchen is more than willing to work with customers that have special dietary needs !
Get the chicken salad or the ham and cheese . Both are equally delicious and have yummy unique sauces on both! Oh and the fries are good too!
The food is a bit more casual here than at the Five & Ten, but the service is still perfect. The vegetarian plate is always superb, but so are the meats and fishes .
Had the best meal of our US trip this time. The ham and cheese sandwich was amazing and the banana cake was too.
Calling the concept tapas isn’t lip service to a trend; most of the dishes here are true Spanish tapas -- plates of just a few bites, no more, referred to as “snackies” on a short , well-planned menu. Read more
Great bar selection, including semi rare bourbons and Irish whiskeys , extensive wine and beer options .
The veggie plate is amazing, and they're happy to make it vegan for you. Best place in Athens for a nice dinner , and don't forget Cine' next door for a great movie . Read more

When the world ends, I'm coming here and ordering all you can eat crab soup
What out for the drunk blonde hooker that sometimes sits at the bar . She'll bite your face off.
wow the veggie plate was the best ever
Staff is a bit pushy with the menu. We were asked three times if we were going to order an appetizer and twice for dessert .
The Gose bier is superb!!
Aperol gin fizz . GET ONE!
Try the peach empanda. It's great!
Try the signature cocktails , especially the National Tonic. Look out for members of R.E.M.
The laticino kale salad is fabulous!
Awesome power lunch
keep in mind the prix fixe with movie at Cine for $25/person
Veggie plate is so much more than a veggie plate .
The "power lunch " is great!
Had the steak wrap and omg it was so good! The dipping sauce is super good too! Also, go for the refillable mug. Pay $1.99 for refills and the original cost is $2.78ish. - Megan Yarrow
Lasagne is delicious. Half portion of breadsticks good for 2 people. Amazing - Andre Yavorskyy
Nice atmosphere with a friendly staff. Calzones are superb here despite being on the higher end price wise. A bit pricey but delicious. - Dustin McCoy
The best place to watch art house movies and independent film in Athens! Friendly staff! - David Derrick
Little Kings has a gluten free beer that actually tastes like beer! The bartenders are great and the patrons are some of the coolest people in Athens, GA! - Jenn
The redo is fantastic. Entry feels exactly the same preserving the classic. Everything else is dif, better. Including the sound. - Chris Konecny
