What a pretty restaurant! We had been shopping in Wetumpka and wanted a drink before going home. They let us in even though they were technically closed. We sat at the bar. They have an extensive wine list and most of the bottles are also sold by the glass. They have wine flights and a nice beer list. I had a beer and my husband had a wine flight. The bartender was really attentive and knowledgeable. We perused the menu and definitely want to visit again for dinner if we are ever in the area. A great menu.
What a gem! We made a quick trip to Wetumpka and had a wonderful light dinner at Taste of the Fain. We were first struck by the interior: a 1920 movie theater transformed to a casual/chic restaurant. We were quickly seated by the friendly hostess. Savannah, our waitperson, answered all our questions about the menu and made terrific recommendations, including wine. We got the steak sliders with gruyere cheese, picked onions and arugula. Wow! Perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful. We also had crab cakes— delicious. Our bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (half off on the special of the day) was so good we bought two bottles to take home. Savannah was attentive, warm, and genuine. What a cozy, delicious and delightful experience!!
Taste at The Fain helped my friend and me host a bridal shower party for 25 today in the upstairs area. We had mimosas, charcuterie, and cheesecake bites. The food was delicious. Even better, though, was the service. David was dedicated to our party the entire 2 hours, and he made it his mission to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. The Fain is wonderful for dinner. Also consider it for your special group events! You will not be disappointed!
We just wanted a place to sit down and have a drink at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday after walking and doing the local shopping thing in downtown Wetumpka, Georgia. We stopped at the front door to see a 'Not opening until 3 sign'. It was the third establishment that was closed until dinner. But NO, we met a manager going in with supplies and was invited in for a drink at the bar early. What a nice courtesy! I enjoyed a white wine flight. A Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and a Gewurztraminer. Good, Weak, and very good. We bought the Chenin Blanc to take home (at a very fair price). My wife enjoyed her craft beer. We looked at the menu and decided we'd come back for a future evening. A local place with a historic heritage. It was a movie theater in an earlier life.
Y'ALL!!!!!! Get. In. What an amazing place! We walked in the door and we were greeted by an brilliant staff. You could tell they were so happy to be there! Attitude is everything! We grabbed a table on the second floor and our server was fantastic! ( #SavannahRules ) We started out with a couple of cocktails. Highly recommend both the Bless Your Heart and the Paloma Spritz. We had mushrooms for our appetizer. They were melt in your mouth delicious! We shared a wedge salad - the house made dressing was fantastic! And then came our 4 oz fillets. There are no words to describe how divine our meal was!! Perfectly cooked meat on a bed of heavenly mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. And the sauce options, unbelievable! Pro Tip: choose a wine flight to go with your dinner! We did the Red Dawn and the Goodfellas! Already planning a return trip!
Shrimp Scampi Dip (Appetizer) warm and rich Red Fish (Blackened) w/ Vegetable Medley Seared Scallops with Jalapeño Corn Pilaf Fabulous!! Enjoy the Wine Flight!! Highly recommended Blueberry Cheesecake (desert)
Great experience overall. The atmosphere is superb and the wine selection is excellent. The food is top tier, some of the best fine dining in town. I recommend the wagyu sirloin. It's definitely our favorite place around.
As an out of towner, I was absolutely blown away by this place! I really hope I have time To visit again before I head back home! Don’t miss the wine flights, there are so many options! I stepped outside of my norm and had the steak sliders. Probably the best steak I’ve had at a restaurant! Don’t sleep on this place!
