Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Roswell – 2024

Enjoyed brunch here last weekend with a friend, and from start to finish, we had a great experience! We made a reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival. We were able to select outdoor seating in their "winter wonderland," which was such a fun touch! The tent had lots of heaters and was very warm despitw the brisk day, and the decor was whimsical and got us into the holiday spirit! We ordered coffees and a basket of biscuits to start - that mustard truffle butter is AMAZING! Seriously, I wanted a whole jar to take home with me! The biscuits were crisp on the outside, warm and fluffy inside, and not too dense at all. I am not usually a big biscuit person, but these definitely changed my mind. For our entrees, we had the eggs benedict and huevos rancheros, both of which we would definitely order again. Service was warm and welcoming, and we never waited long for anything. Our server kept our coffees full and was very cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu!

My mom and I came for lunch this morning. Nick was our server and this was our first time here. We were greeted with amazing hospitality, very wonderful suggestions and we were offered a preference of inside or outside. We sat outside and We got the baked brie and pimento fitters. We also got the turkey pimento cheese sandwich and the blackened chicken baguette. Everything was absolutely amazing. Nick was the best server we’ve ever had and we absolutely will be back.

Wonderful first-time Saturday brunch experience! Look at the Eggs-Benedict and the cheese fritter photos attached below! This is a really cool place! Nice ambience (but LOUD as there is little sound-absorbing material in the large room we were sat in.) For us, that was okay, because the place felt "hopping." More importantly, the food and service were spectacular - we'll be back! We are excited to try the outdoor seating when the weather gets cooler. What fun!

I’m giving it 5 stars for the London Broil, which is the best bang for your buck for a delicious steak dish that you’re going to find anywhere around. It’s a hanger steak (or butcher’s cut), and it’s always tender and delicious. It comes with massive onion rings and usually with mashed potatoes. I had to get fries since I’m avoiding dairy, but you should definitely get the mashed. The fries were undercooked and not great, they are amazing at the Woodstock location. The fish and chips were also good, but why wouldn’t you get the best thing on the menu? Don’t go here and get something basic like tacos. There are plenty of good tacos in Roswell.

My wife and I tried the Salt Factory Pub. After visiting friends in the area. We shared the pulled pork tacos (as an appetizer) and the Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich (main course). We each had a Sangria Rajó to drink. First, the service was excellent. Brendon provided great menu input and attention to detail. The care and detail provided included him and the chef splitting our sandwich and fries between two plates for us (before serving the meals/plates at the table). Second, my wife mentioned multiple times that both the drink and food were very tasty. It's a smaller location with only one TV. They had the local college (GA) game on but no volume, just music. So they were a little less crowded than the other surrounding restaurants blaring the game on multiple screens. The only real negative is that the area appears to be popular with multiple establishments. This gives clients multiple great options but parking is challenging. There seemed to be free parking in the "back" but bring patience and walking shoes to get you up hills or down/around a few steps. Note: 1. This was my first and only visit. 2. The brownie and ice cream dessert were great also.

We got seated right away after walking Canton looking for a place to eat. We decided this looked amazing and smelled incredible. I ordered the wedge salad and added grilled chicken. I tried a bite of the rings pizza, it had a kick of spice but it was delicious. All of our food looked and tasted so good. The server was also very nice to us. We sat outside and we got to watch people and dogs!

Food was pretty good, we went for $1 oysters on Sunday. Parking is such a hassle on this street though, but that isn't the restaurant's fault. Wish the waiter would have been more attentive to us, especially at the beginning of our visit-- that's the only thing I would advise. Other than that the service was pleasant despite it being hard to track the waiter down.

This is a casual restaurant in the heart of Canton food alley in Roswell. We were here on a Friday at 3:00 pm. We had a reservation but really wasn't needed. We sat at a table near the front..no wait. Waitress was attentive and food came in a timely manner. With all the restaurant options on Canton, I would not say that my dining experience was one that made me say "I have to come back ". It was just ok.

There are so many things that make Roux a great place. They have Trivia night, specials every day like $1 oysters and awesome Bloody Mary’s on Sunday, Yahtzee! (with a big prize!), great pretzels, a dog friendly patio, and really great people. The entire team there including Jonathan, Bailey, JD, trivia Al, and others are all top shelf, nice people. It’s one of our favorite go-to places, any day or night!

Pleseantly Surprised! I've been driving by for years and never stopped in for dinner. We loved the service, the atmosphere, drinks and the food was very good. Reminded us of Houston's but a much better atmosphere. The manger came over just to make sure everything was great. When was the last time a restaurant did that for you? We definitely will be coming back.

We came to celebrate a birthday. I think service was sweet with good intentions but they let us know before we sat to expect a slice of cake, so no surprises for my partner. With the prices, I expected a slightly nicer atmosphere, perhaps a setting that is a little bit more private and cozy. The sides were fine, just nothing spectacular compared to main entrees. We had a baby crying loudly through dinner (a Thursday night at 6pm). Drinks were great and our server was awesome, I just felt the experience was slightly disappointing.

The last time I was here was the night they were shutting down the country due to Covid. There were just two of us in the entire restaurant and they were giving away steaks and seafood. I drive by here all the time and finally went back as I remembered the steaks are really good and I was not disappointed. We had the ribeye with cream spinach, that's right it's back on the menu. The steak was cooked perfect and tasted delicious. The cream spinach was off the charts. I am very picky about my cream spinach and I could not get enough of this one. We sat at the bar and got great service. The price is right too. Perfect

First time visit, I ordered Lomo Saltado, this plate was a bit over $20 (strips of steak with fried potatoes, diced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and a portion of white rice) see picture, though the plate does not look that flashy, its Very Tasty and Flavorful, the steak was marinated in some chinese-style sauce and it was Tender, juicy and tasty! I think the menu is a bit pricey, but at least this plate was very good and I enjoyed every bite. I definitely recommend it

It feels like enjoying a comforting home-cooked meal seasoned to perfection. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit a delightful experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Peruvian cuisine..

The food was excellent. Em (lady with blond hair and glasses) provided the best customer service. She was really nice and provided excellent options for our appetizers. The empanadas were excellent. We got the chicken and queso; they were both really good. The chicken in the Ensalada De Casa was also really good. And the Aji De Gallina turned out great as well despite the presentation. However, I did find a small bone from my shredded chicken inside the Aji (which was a bit of a surprise for me) so I would watch carefully what you're eating. The empanadas and the service are what make this review a 5 star review one instead of a 4 star one.

1920 Tavern is a cozy, upscale gastropub that offers a unique dining experience blending classic charm with a modern twist. Located in the heart of historic Roswell, Georgia, the tavern is known for its warm, welcoming ambiance, with decor that reflects the Prohibition era, including dim lighting, leather seating, and vintage-inspired details. The menu is thoughtfully curated, featuring elevated American fare with Southern influences. Standout dishes include the flavorful truffle fries, expertly crafted burgers, and a selection of fresh seafood options. The cocktail menu is equally impressive, offering prohibition-inspired drinks alongside modern favorites, all crafted with care. 1920 Tavern’s attentive service and relaxing atmosphere make it a great spot for date nights, gatherings with friends, or a casual evening out. Whether you’re stopping by for a meal or just a cocktail, it’s a place that effortlessly combines history, flavor, and Southern hospitality.

Absolutely fantastically delicious food. We kept it simple with fish & chips. Never had chips quite like these - thinly sliced and seasoned. The coleslaw was perfectly balanced with notes of tangy & sweet. Superb service and nice atmosphere. Will dine again. 10/10 would recommend!

Number 1 favorite lunch place! Jenna, the owner, is the best. Staff is fantastic. Food is incredible. Fantastic location. Always our go-to! Like anywhere on Canton St, parking is iffy, but if you don’t mind paying for parking you’ll park very close to the restaurant.

Mike was absolutely amazing!!!!!!! This was one of the best restaurants I’ve EVER been to. I can’t even describe how amazing it was. First amazing service Mike was the best.. super friendly and suggested food to try. This is what businesses are missing. Secondly the food… yea I’m going home to sleep till next year delicious … I’ll be back soon

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently dined at Brookwood Grill, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was truly top-notch—attentive, professional, and friendly, making sure every detail was taken care of. The staff really went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. The highlight for me was the Brookwood Caesar salad. It was simply amazing—fresh, crisp greens with just the right amount of dressing, topped with perfectly seasoned croutons and cheese. It's easily one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had. The beef was another standout. Cooked to perfection, it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was a delight, and it’s clear that Brookwood Grill takes great pride in the quality of their food. In addition to the excellent food and service, the ambiance was perfect for an office talk or business meeting. The setting is both elegant and comfortable, providing a calm and quiet environment where you can have a meaningful conversation without distractions. It’s rare to find a place that balances great food with a professional yet relaxed atmosphere. Overall, Brookwood Grill is a fantastic choice for any occasion, whether you're having a business lunch or a casual dinner. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning!

Now here's a really good dining experience. From warm, rustic decor with sophisticated lighting to very attentive and knowledgeable service to really great food! The draught is fresh, the food is cooked fresh and is truly tasty because of the quality of ingredients used. The lobster stuffed ravioli was just outstanding Strong recommend, I would go back when next in Atlanta

I’ll start by saying that reservations are definitely a must! But WOW! This was one of the best meals my husband and I have had in a while. Quite possibly the best steak I’ve ever had! The sides are made to share but they divide things into two to make it easier. We got a wedge salad and they delivered it already divided; same with the loaded baked potato. We sat outside and had the best time! Service was great, friendly and food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back!!!

When your friends take you to a steakhouse but you out smart them and take advantage of known steak house overcompensation on fish. We were sat in the back so I had a prime view of everything—the chic decor, the bustling energy, and, of course, the impressive plates being served to each table. First, I had the tuna tartare. If you’ve ever thought tuna tartare might lack substance, think again. Each bite was of pure freshness, vibrant in color and flavor, almost silky. Next, I tried the shrimp served over crusty bread with a sauce that was absolute heaven. That sauce—a mix of buttery, garlicky goodness—soaked right into the bread. I don’t know if I liked the shrimp or bread more. For a side, I went with the asparagus. The asparagus was crispy just like I like it. Blasphemy is when asparagus is overcooked. Loved my visit to Little Alley Steakhouse and while our views on meat aren’t congruent, we found common ground on fish!

Little Alley was recommended to me. I made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday. I must say I wasn't impressed. The service was great and the waiter was pleasant but I've definitely had better meals/ steak at Peter luger and even Ruth Chris. My boyfriend's steak was under cooked, his loaded potato was warm, so he didn't really enjoy his birthday meal. The food was just average which it shouldn’t be based on the pricing, he had a ribeye ( that was under cooked) he requested, medium well, but it was medium. I had a chicken dish ( bell Evans ) I didn’t care for it, the sauce was not impressive. The chicken was juicy and tender, but it wasn’t seasoned. I did have the chop chop salad, which was good and mashed potatoes and green beans which were just average but the crème brûlée and bread pudding with vanilla gelato was good, we enjoyed our dessert more than our meal So I would say the best part of the night was the dessert. I truly felt that I was a waste of my money and time, now I have to search for another steakhouse, it has to be better than little Alley.

The ambiance of Osteria Mattone patio was cozy and inviting. Shannon was PHENOMENAL! She is knowledgeable about cuisines recommendations, wine pairings and had a warm and friendly personality that helped make the experience one to remember. Ask for her! Our meals were hearty, flavorful and filling. We will be back! P.S. we love Shannon!

BEST Italian restaurant we have been to! The food was amazing and our waitress, Shannon, provided us outstanding service. We will certainly come back. Highly recommend this restaurant with full heart! They even prepared the sweet cards for the birthday and our anniversary!

It's a beautiful place. Elegantly casual would describe it. Delicious food and sophisticated cocktails. I recently celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and the manager of the place came to our table to greet my boyfriend and check that everything was okay. The waitress was super attentive, a very nice atmosphere. The view of the patio is really beautiful. I recommend this place.

The restaurant is small and super comfortable and cozy. The drinks are very good too. The food was delicious. I recommend sitting at the bar, it's really cool. The waiters give you their full attention.

Vin 25 in Roswell is a charming spot that’s just right for a cozy evening work sesh. We enjoyed the heated patio, which made for a comfortable setting even as the evening got cooler. The pimento cheese balls and the cheese board delicious and beautifully arranged. The service was excellent. Vin 25 has a welcoming ambiance that’s perfect for a casual night out or even a productive work meeting. Adorable and charming spot surrounding you with mature trees and lush greenery.

In truth, I was not going to leave this review as it is a principle of mine to leave bad experiences in the past and draw light to those that were good. However, the more I thought of the events that transpired the greater the conviction to write this review became. I will start by admitting we did make the mistake of arriving a bit early before they opened at 5 PM. We were exhausted because I flew in to visit my mother that morning and we subsequently spent the day shopping and hiking. As you can imagine we were tired and hungry so we rushed to our reservation excited to follow up a great day with dinner at an establishment which boasted phenomenal reviews. In our haste it slipped our minds that the restaurant was closed for about another 20 minutes, so when we opened the door and was promptly rushed out with the owner having a not too welcoming attitude it was understandable and we agreed to wait at a table outside until opening. Unfortunately, she still seemed flustered and unwelcoming as 5 PM rolled around,arriving at our table to bring the menus as well as noting the hostess/sever (her daughter) was running late as usual. She added the quip to not hire family and we thought to ourselves surely it couldn’t be that bad. We therefore assumed that perhaps they were just having an off day and decided this wouldn’t determine the outcome of the rest of our meal. A few more minutes passed and the hostess arrived to take our order with a less than pleasing attitude, to say she was inattentive would be too high praise. She hurriedly took our order with a rushed and sour disposition. Then brought the food out shortly after with a similar attitude. My mother immediately noticed her salmon was undercooked but decided to try it anyways because we second guessed what our eyes were seeing. After a few unpalatable bites and slicing into it we came to the realization the salmon was completely raw in the center (as pictured). We tried to get someone’s attention but the hostess, bartender, and basically most other staff were just chatting by the bar immersed in their own conversation. I did not want to get up with dinnerware on the table as another issue was that the chairs and tables for the outdoor seating are quite uncomfortable due to them being on uneven cobblestone and it placed us in an awkward situation where every time we got up it caused the table and chairs to shake. So, I called the restaurant and after many rings a young man in the group by the bar answered. I explained the predicament and asked if our sever could come a moment, he did not even let me finish fully before without saying a word I could see him drop the phone from his ear and mention in exasperation that I was calling. The server hesitated to come out with a sigh of frustration herself. The overall attitude of the staff was off putting and unprofessional. None of them should be employed there. My mother caught on earlier than I did because I was intent on enjoying our time there. I kept making up excuses until that point as we were clearly being treated abhorrently for reasons we could not fathom since we were polite even in the face of their indifference and said very little for the time we were there. The hostess/server did come out eventually and we conveyed the issue after which she promptly took the dish back to the kitchen. After having a brief conversation my mother and I decided we’d just pay the bill and dine elsewhere. I went inside to ask for the check and the same man (perhaps the bartender) that answered the phone said “she is coming in” with an air of animosity. I explained I was coming in to pay our check and leave. This is when the owner came out to try and explain that they were inquiring with the kitchen as to what transpired and if we wanted to leave she would not allow us to pay. We went back and forth insisting on paying but she refused to take any payment and we left. It would have been a predictable outcome had we just read the few one star reviews and believed them. I highly suggest you do that!

Great place for Greek food! We went to celebrate post orchestra dinner party! Our hostess was great and had all the right recommendations. We loved the dips, the stuffed chicken and the kebab sticks! They have some good cocktails and desserts too! But my best want to be back for is the pita bread … so yummmmmy

Cozy Greek restaurant in downtown Roswell. $$$ Great cocktails & yummy food! The beef skewers were delicious. Try the donuts for dessert They don’t have designated parking.

If I could give more starts I would! We went to Greece in May this year and was blown away by the taste of Greece. Since we have returned we been on the hunt for some authentic Greek food. This is definitely a top contender especially with their Larvaki (Sea Bass) it was so beautiful cooked and a full experience with them deboning it. Our server was Fermin and he was great! Gave us that right at home feeling. While the manager of one of the restaurants Roei would check in and deboned out Larvarki for us. We learned so much about the sea bass meats and good luck charm P.s Make sure to try their traditional Greek frappe we got semi sweet! Highly recommended. We will be visiting their newest location in Alpharetta.

Rachel was so lovely, and definitely helped us with our meal tonight. We celebrated a birthday in the family and everything was great! The meatball appetizer was fantastic, and the Prime Rib was so good we finished it before taking a photo. Also so cool that the author of Roswell Redemption signed and dropped off a book the same night and we got to see it! Overall we really enjoyed our dining experience there for the first time. Thanks again Rachel!

I now have an understanding of why the ratings are so good and why Michelin recently added them to the list. The catfish I had was exceptional, service was great, atmosphere super charming. Overall, great time.

First of all Barbara, our server, was amazing. The entire wait staff was excellent. There were some hits and some misses with our dinner. The hits were the fried chicken (always great there), the mashed potatoes, and the brocolini. The misses were the mashed sweet potatoes with chipotle as they were a bit too spicy to be enjoyable. And the worst was the Mac and cheese. It was like the cheese had broken and became a greasy buttery glob with no flavor other than butter and noodles. Overall, it was still a very enjoyable dinner and would highly recommend it for anyone.

Such fun vibes & rocking atmosphere. We got seated right away inspite of downtown being so crowded on the tree lighting night, we weren’t aware of that. Great service & delicious food. Drinks were made well too

My second time there and it was very pleasant! Definitely enjoyed my food. I had the chicken tortilla soup because I had a wisdom tooth removed recently…so my choices were limited. However, my daughter enjoyed her buffalo chicken tacos. Give them a try if you’re in the mood for some tacos!

Excellent food! The atmosphere is spectacular... Rock memorabilia, large screen TV's... and our waitress was fantastic!

My family loves coming here for birthdays and celebrations. The staff is great, the atmosphere is lively and fun. The food is always fantastic. We got the calamari, the charcuterie plate, and the Gouda fritters with pepper jelly to start. All are delicious and have nice portions. I got the Korean BBQ short rib for dinner. The portion was huge and the flavors were incredible. My dad is friends with the chef and so we got the key lime pie, the cookie pie and chocolate cake on the house for a birthday, all of which were delicious. Drinks kept coming and the pace of service is amazing. We love this place and will continue to come!

While in the area, we decided to stop in for appetizers and drinks. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable, and provided some great suggestions for food and drinks. We tried the Canton Street Charcuterie, the Smoked Gouda Fritters, and the Smokehouse Sliders. Our favorite was definitely the sliders! If you're looking for a laid-back environment to enjoy a few drinks or catch up with friends/family, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Ambiance is GREAT! Staff is AMAZING & FOOD SPECTACULAR!! We were a party of 9 and were seated immediately. We did make reservations several days ahead of time. Sydney immediately engaged us, shared the specials, and answered all of our questions! Her energy was friendly, kind, and she was so engaging!! The pièce de résistance was when Chef Sam came to our table and engaged with us! He spoke to everyone about the different dishes and made great recommendations! Also, he was just so down to earth and cool! It really was an incredible and unexpected treat for my book club group!! EVERYTHING we ate AND drank was delicious! I ordered the Honey Panko Salmon w/ Lemon Risotto and the Blueberry Margarita! Both were superb!! For my appetizer, I ordered the Burrata Caprese! It was equally delicious! Others in my party, ordered the Bistro Chicken, Short Ribs, Salads, and Smash Burger! No one had any complaints. They said the short ribs and chicken were very tender and the burger was extremely juicy! All in all, we were all extremely pleased. One of my friends said they were going back the next day!! Lol!! We'll definitely be back! It was a phenomenal culinary experience! Oh BTW, they do have free valet parking on Saturdays, per their website! We got in early so didn't have to use it!
