The Gardens Restaurant - Callaway Gardens — Restaurant in Georgia

(It was the off-season, and we got the idea the employees would much rather be home instead of serving us...who could blame them!) Anyway, this is what fine dining is all about, and what a...

We never miss a meal at the garden restaurant, whenever in the area. From the large fireplace in winter to the elegant decor, everything makes for a great visit. Their wine list is wonderful and the meal is always prepared to perfection. Callaway gardens is one of my favorite places to visit and the Garden restaurant is the icing on the cake at the end...
