    LOVE this place! It's one of my new faves! The crabcakes are fantastic! We also tried the seafood risotto, trout almandine, wedge salad, and creme brulee. All of it was very yummy! The piano singer is very friendly. He creates a wonderful atmosphere. We will be back!

    This is an amazing find downtown Buford. What pulls it all together is the piano bar every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The food was spot on, and the service was great. All this rolled into one is hard to find. The set up of the restaurant is well thought out, very impressed. This is a must for dinner, date night, or a small groups. They are open for lunch, but I don't think you would fine the mood setting quite as good as the night lights.

    This is a lovely restaurant run by a very gracious couple.

    Our waiter was a funny, entertaining fellow from Philadelphia who
    was also attentive to our needs.

    I had the most amazing she-crab soup!  Better than Charleston!
    Wonderful crab-filled soup with bits of veggies and finished with sherry.
    Oh so good!
    Along with the soup, I had   bruchetta with fresh tomatoes,  Kalamata olives and fresh basil

    Desert was a ridiculously  good creme brulee .Excellent coffee.
    Lovely presentation in a inviting atmosphere.

    Worth the drive from ATL or on the way to Lake Lanier and points North.

    Our first visit with family in from out of town.

    Service: Jake was our waiter, great young guy from Philly who provided great service with enthusiasm. Eventually, I think he ended up waiting on every table in the restaurant running circles around the rest of the staff.

    Atmosphere: 5 Star! Comfortable, and just nice.

    Food: Here is the downfall.
    Beef tips, scored well
    Chicken Penne: Pasta was good with flavor. Chicken was baked dry as a rock. Absolutely, well, well, done.
    Seafood Platters: Fish was fishy, in short not fresh. To many years in the seafood industry for one family member told us this much.
    Soup:  Crab soup was excellent.
    Desert: I passed after the sub par dinner. Glad I did. Creme Brûlée was terrible. The spouse cracked the burnt sugar topping only to find a layer of raw sugar laying on top of the custard, which was on top another layer of raw sugar. The Apple thing was just that, an apple thing. Bro in law said it had the taste of a Pop Tart with the look of a flat sole of shoe.

    This place has much potential but it needs a little more organization on food prep.

    Will have to see a few more reviews before we venture back. With Rico's and Aqua on the same street one needs to be on top of the game all the time. Well, unless your Sperata, then you send someone out to haggle folks to come "have the best food on the block" and bash the other restaurants on the street. Yes, this actually happened to us, how tacky.

    We went for my birthday.  It is a great place to get an awesome meal.  We even brought our 3 year old.  We sat near the piano in the more casual area.  I loved being able to get lobster and filet in a casual atmosphere.  You can dress this place up or down and fit in.  

    For the steaks, my husband had NY Strip and I had filet.  They both had an amazing flavor that allowed the emphasis to be on the taste of the meat.  Had fried lobster (unusual but very yummy treat).

    My fiance took me here for Valentine's Day the other night. This place is located in historic Buford next to Sperata. They were having a special that night for Valentine's Day, 4 course meals for $59 which isn't bad at all.  The food here was ok, the ambiance and service was great.

    The food- Everything was presented beautifully (see pics) but the taste of everything was just "ok".  The ribeye and filet were very tender.  I really liked the complimentary rolls and the 3 different spreads that came with it. Yum!

    The drinks- Delicious! I tried their "Tommy Gun" martini. It was very smooth, tasty and strong.

    The ambiance- Good. They had a man playing the piano and singing. The singing was pitchy at times but still good.

    The service- Our waiter was nice and attentive.

    I was so excited to have Adams restaurant in Buford until my family and I dined there.  The food and atmosphere is not worth the price.  The owner is haughty.  Not a recommended dining destination!!!

    We had the worst experience celebrating a friend's birthday at Adam's last night. The service was so abysmal it was unbelievable. One waitress for 20 people, over an hour to get my first drink and over 3 hours to eat and pay out. Still got charged 20% for service which was nonexistant. Fish was overcooked, veggies over mushed, spinach salad okay. When the owner was approached about the service, he was completely arrogant, never once appologized, obviously he never came to our table or even tried to help out himself. It's a shame, but we'll never go back to a place where the owner has no concern for his customers!
