I recently dined with a friend at Relish for lunch. I had read the Piedmont Review Publication ""Atlanta's Finest Dining Magazine,"" Spring Issue, and they highly recommended Relish for their food. I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed my friend and I were with our lunch. We have eaten at Relish's sister restaurant, Fickle Pickle, regularly for the last two years, and have NEVER been disappointed. Our waitress was prompt at taking our drink orders. My friend ordered the cucumber lemonade which never came. Our first course was the pimento fritters which were tasty but had a piece of saran wrap in one. A waiter brought our next course: grouper sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. We pointed out the saran wrap that we found in the fritters, and he said he was sorry. The manager came to our table, apologized and deducted the fritters from our ticket. I mentioned about the forgotten cucumber lemonade, and he personally brought it . Regarding the sandwiches: The buns were dry and tasteless. The grouper was undercooked and tasteless. The sweet potato fries were cold and soggy. We decided dessert had to be good so we went with the recommendation of the magazine reviewer and requested the bread pudding. The waitress brought the bill before our dessert arrived which we felt was quite rude. The dessert arrived cold. I asked the waitress if the dessert was supposed to be cold. She said they heat it but didn't seem to care if it was cold. I detailed some of our experience on a comment card and left it with the manager. Needless to say, we will never return.
Cons: Noisy, Rude Service, Bad food, Expensive for what you get
