Everything! The night started when I was scheduled to dine with my family (8 of us) across the street at Basil's. Their staff was so overwhelmed by the volume of customers, that they forgot their manners and kept telling me we had to wait (for everything, despite having a reservation). I have no time for poor customer service, so I trekked across the street and was politely greeted by the staff at Anis.
Everything about their energy was accommodating. I explained to The host our desire to be away from crowds and that we would like to sit outside. Her attitude was, "of course, we can do that for you. Just give us a moment to set up a table outside." How pleasant... and that, she did. She, herself, went and moved tables around to seat us.
From there, the red carpet was rolled out by ALL of the incredible staff. Our waiter, the busboy, the owner, the manager... they take an all hands on deck approach to ensuring your experience is exceptional. It wasn't JUST our table that they catered to. I watched them offer the same, loving treatment to each table. It was such a pleasure.
Now, the food... OMG! A delight. EVERYTHING was prepared to perfection. I got the trout, mom got quiche, sister-in-law got sick, and brother got the salmon!!! Each meal was cooked with the right amount of juiciness and crisp...the flavors were so uniquely delightful. I came back to the DC area and searched for another French restaurant to hit the spot, but no one came close!
If you are in ATL, GO TO ANIS!!! You will be extremely pleased.
