The Gardens Restaurant - Callaway Gardens - (Near Pine Mountain, GA)

Scott Jason Excellent, authentic Italian food in Blue Ridge, Georgia? Check. This restaurant has the wow factor youre looking for the ambiance and service youd expect in a high end establishment. We were greeted by their hostess and GM as soon as we walked in and were sat in a cozy table up against the wall where the wines were displayed. We were greeted by a server assistant who took our water order. Yes...three options...tap, still and sparkling. 9 dollars for a bottle of still water may seem steep but it was worth it. We were asked if we were celebrating anything and we said it was our 8th wedding anniversary. We were given a card that was signed by the entire staff and complimentary glasses of champagne. Our server was Mattia and he was incredible and personable. He was great with conversation and answered our questions with enthusiasm mentioning he was the son of the chef, Igor who had come to Blue Ridge to open his restaurants after he fell in love with the area. Mattia was attentive and ensured we were checked on in a timely manner. The server assistants were excellent with refilling our water and clearing the table as needed. The food...INCREDIBLE. We started with the Burrata and it was delicious. Excellent choice to start with. Their Caesar salad was one of the best weve ever had and got the taste buds going for our main dishes. My wife has the mushroom and truffle risotto and mentioned it was some of the best she has ever had. I opted for the spaghetti Cacio and pepe and it was truly mouthwatering. We couldnt end the meal without dessert and while Mattia did mention they did not have their tiramisu we had the Gelato and mille foglie which was the perfect ending to the meal. Again, not enough can be said about the staff and Mattia who truly is a treasure at this restaurant. If youre in town, make it a point to stop in for a delicious meal where youll be taken care of.

brian dobbins Get in your car, bring your family and friends for a stop at Flavor Town. This place brings it!!!! If it was possible I would give the place a Supernova rating, it will erase your memory of every wing you have ever eaten and burn the memory of this experience to your hippocampus!

Sanassa Diane Honestly, I’ll come back for the service alone. The food is just a plus. Kameel himself was there greeted everyone that walked in and handed out samples like it was candy. This is how you run a business!!! They have quality ingredients, Amazing customer service, and not to mention this garlic herb Chicken was literally the best I ever had in my life, so tender and juicy. I paired it with sweet potatoes and rice… uhmmmm uhhmmmm uhmm I’m salivating as I’m writing this review. I will definitely be back.

Pamela B A small but great ice cream parlor! Im so glad LAMS Dulces was recommended to me! I took my nieces and nephew on a Saturday afternoon. They totally enjoyed it! The ice cream is delicious, and they have so many flavors to choose from. They also offer some really good snacks, too! My niece loved the Maruchan Loca (noodles with esquites, and she had Hot Cheetos in hers). I tried the Ice Cream Nachos. I ordered the small with strawberry ice cream, drizzled in caramel, and topped with strawberries. This was an absolute delicious treat! Warm atmosphere, friendly service, and bold flooring that only adds to the uniqueness. Very, very kid-friendly. Great addition to the area!

Nereida Reyna Im a wedding officiant, this was the couples venue. It was beautiful and spacious. Perfect for their wedding!!!

Kelsi Potts Some of the best pizza I’ve had! I have lived in Monroe long enough to see three different pizza restaurants in this location and this is by far the most impressive. The pizza is perfect. It doesn’t flop and has a nice thin, crisp bottom crust. The cheese bread may look simple but has an amazing buttery, garlicky flavor. Also, the ranch is some of the best I’ve had! We are so happy to have another pizza restaurant downtown and will be continuing to support this business!
