4.0
Georgian food seems to have a heavy focus on cheeses and vegetables. The tastes here are more of an experience as you eat new, yet somewhat familiar dishes. My favorite was the egg khachapuri and the Georgian platter. The restaurant is great for vegetarians, but not so much for vegans. - Dhruv Patel
