Looking up reviews for this place online led me first to Urbanspoon online where I saw the following response to a customer review complaining about the cigarette smoke: \r

Nearly 99% of all bar and grills are non-smoking. We smokers find people like you repulsive and annoying. So please go somewhere else. Hemingway's has been under the same ownership and management for 20yrs. and will be around long after you have passed, so get over it. Hemingway's has great food at a good value, superior service, and the best live entertainment in Marietta."" \r

The owner's name is Dave Mendelson (DMM), and the fact he would treat his customers - not to mention any potential customers reading reviews - in such a contemptable manner is deplorable. I just can't believe it! Furthermore, he just bought the business back from the previous owner this year, so he's lying when he says it's been under the same ownership or managment for 20 years. \r

I've only been back once this year, but after reading the above, I will never, NEVER set foot in Hemingway's again!!
