Spring in Marietta Ga

We love this little restaurant located outside Atlanta in Marietta.

Been going here for years and is where I proposed to my wife and last night we celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary here.

The menu is always really simple and small and I've yet to have a bad dish. They have maybe 10-15 tables so it's quite intimate but not crowded. I always tell people to try this place out if they are looking to get into "fine dining" because it's always good and they don't try to be really crazy, outside of the box and its not intimidating at all. I think it's a great gateway drug to show people how food can be exciting, delicious and artful.

• Blue Fin Crudo (Myself)
  They have always had a crudo dish on the menu and this one was good. Refreshing and bright. Had to avoid some of those big pieces of basil because other got a little powerful at time but overall was very delicious.

• Lamb Tartar (Wife)
  Nice portion size and but was hiden under the veggies. Great flavor with a little bit of heat at the end. First bite was slightly difficult due to the length of the julienne veggies but when cut in half…perfect.

• Chicken Liver and Foie Gras (Myself)
  Some of my favorite Foie dishes have been from Spring. This was a new version and god dam , it was the star of the night. Great portion size a d holy hell, I couldn't get enough of it. The plum jelly and pistachio puree took it over the top. She tried a bite of my Foie dish and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. I HIGHLY recommend trying the Foie if you ever come here. (A+)

• Chicory Salad (Wife)
  Very fresh and crisp. Massive portion and my wife really enjoyed it. Cheese was very clean and of great quality. Her only critique was that the pieces of letlettuce were very large to get a comfortable bite with put having to make little wraps to spear on to her fork.

• Cappelletti (Myself)
  I normally don't order pasta/ravioli dishes dishes but asking the waiter what her like more between the Halibut and Cappelletti, he led me to the Cappelletti and I was not disappointed. This thing was HEAVY, RICH, CREAMY and FLAVORFUL. I was hoping to leave stuffed and at the end, mission accomplished. The mushrooms were a perfect and the thinly sliced pecorino melted in your mouth. Very impressed and was happy.

• Crown Roasted Chicken (Wife)
  We did not get to taste each other's last dishes due to her having a gluten allergy and my Cappelletti was full of it. She did give me a few of the roasted maitake mushroom that came with this dish and theh tasted like roasted perfection. It came out looking beautifully roasted and there was alot on the plate to try and tackle…but she did it.

Overall, it was very good and quite filling. We were too stuffed to have a dessert which in our roughly 10 times dining there, we've never done. The desserts we have had from them in the past have all be home runs.

I highly recommend this place. Service isn't too slow, staff is really cool and the food is awesome.

It's not the French Laundry or Boulud but I dont think that's what they are going for. It's classic dishes done at a very high and honest humble level. The staff there is killing it and I look forward to what more they can do and will always be coming back.

They close for a few months early in 2025 for expansion remodel and I hop
