Cafe at East Andrews

Looking for comments on the Cafe at East Andrews. I%26#39;m planning a dinner there for a large group. It seems to get great reviews, but I can%26#39;t find anything recent. Have you been there lately?

I%26#39;ve been twice. I definitely would not rank it among the top 50 restaurants in Atlanta, but it fits its niche: it is a popular place among young Buckhead residents to see and be seen. It is usually lively but it is very spacious and is situated around a courtyard with a fountain. The interior decor is nothing exciting - I think I recall exposed brick, leather sofas, etc. I was underwhelmed by the food and thought the menu was unimaginative. It was fairly well executed, though. I do recall being irritated when I asked to see a martini menu and the bartender told me they didn%26#39;t have one, but he could make whatever I wanted. I go to a restaurant to try their specialties and experience their creativity. If I wanted to invent my own recipe I coudl do that at home.

I think that whether the restaurant fits your group%26#39;s needs depends on the group. If you%26#39;re looking for fine dining or exceptional food, this isn%26#39;t it. If you%26#39;re looking for something convenient to a location that can accomodate a large party and that is a good place for drinks, this would be a suitable choice.

Thanks! Honest and helpful feedback

You%26#39;re welcome. I hope some others will post because mine is just one person%26#39;s opinion. I looked to see if the local paper had done a review but they haven%26#39;t which could be a sign of this restaurant%26#39;s status in the foodie world. On atlantacitysearch.com however there are several reviews that are all across the board - some people really love this place while others don%26#39;t so much. One clarification if it makes a difference - I realized that the Cafe at East Andrews is the downstairs part of the building. That%26#39;s where I%26#39;ve been before but I though the upstairs area was part of the cafe too. It%26#39;s not - the upstairs is just hte bar.
