The Falls Restaurant

The one time I actually got to eat there in June 2019 it was great... food, drinks, atmosphere & service... and then I made a Valentine’s Day 2020 dinner reservation 3 weeks before Valentine’s Day, over the phone/speaking to a live human being. We got to the restaurant at the pre-arranged date & time to find it closed. It would have been a lot more professional of them to notify customers with reservations (especially on Valentine’s Day, of all days) of their February 1st closing. In light of this lack of good customer service & attention to detail, I can’t say I’m surprised they went out of business.

Beautiful venue with a river view. Features a small patio overlooking the water.A friend and I went for lunch and enjoyed the finest tomato basil soup ever discovered in a local Athens restaurant. It was accompanied by grilled white cheddar cheese on brioche bread. The salty sharpness of the sandwich with the slightly sweet aromatic herbiness of the soup made for a perfect lunch combo. The sweet tea was fabulous!The Falls offers a nice selection of starters, salads, sandwiches and more. Prices seem to range between $11 and $21 per person for lunch depending on your selections.The wait staff was solicitous and friendly. Very personable! We were actually greeted by the owner, who seemed quite devoted to maintaining a welcoming, fastidiously clean and comfortable venue.

Eaten here twice and each time the food and service has been excellent. The salmon was exceptional! The management and servers are superb and they give a veteran discount. Highly recommend.
