. . . on the Verandah
Awards

For a picturesque setting, try . . . on the verandah, located on the banks of lovely Lake Sequoyah. Diners look out from under a curtain of hemlock and maple to the sparkling lake. Jazz piano drifts in from the dining room as the sun sets over the trees. Fresh seafood is always on the menu; in the fall, look for wild game like buffalo, antelope and wild boar.

Atlanta Magazine

 . . the gorgeously located . . . on the verandah looks at tranquil Lake Sequoyah. The scene is idyllic, the restaurant intensely personal and sophisticated. The owners, both Americans, have three obvious passions: Thai culture, red wine and hot sauces.

From the first lovely fresh rolls to the unusually pretty salad bar, the light cream of asparagus or the split pea soup with country ham, all the way to charming homemade fruit tarts and other delicate desserts, everything is better than most any brunch in Atlanta. The wine list (Award of Excellence by the Wine Spectator) is exceptional. Live piano music adds an element of refinement through the meal.
