O!O Garden Grille opening in Midtown
Outside the old, now-abandoned location of Cafe Gardens is now a sign that reads "O!O Garden Grille coming soon." For those who don't know, O!O is a tapas and martini bar with excellent food and live music in Haile Plantation. No word on whether the food will be the same style (tapas - appetizers to share) or price (relatively pricey, except on $5 tapas or $5 burger night). Stay tuned!

Just had to look up phone number. Thought I would share link:)
I went here with my wife on a Living Social deal, and we will not be going back. We both liked Cafe Gardens, the establishment previously located on the premises, O.K. They had decent bar food and a nice atmosphere. Because Garden Grille is owned by O!O Tapas N' Tinis, a decent restaurant in Haille, we expected the Grille to be a step up in quality. This could not be further from our experience.
Upon entering, we were greeted by several security guards who wrist-banded and ID'd us. After that, we waited five minutes to get the hostess' attention. We asked to be seated as far as possible from the stage, where two chubby white guys with bald heads played frat-tastic cover songs, including rap songs without editing out the N-word. Our waitress seated us and brought us our cocktails after about 20 mins, lukewarm martinis which she spilled all over without offering to clean up. She made several recommendations only to find that the kitchen was out of the items, which, according to her, were the "only ones I would eat."
The food was truly horrible. Our friend ordered the lobster bisque, which tasted like a bottle of sherry slushed around in a bucket used for cleaning fish. The burgers, allegedly Black Angus served medium rare, tasted more like burnt leather, and the nachos, well don't order them. Our deal was supposed to include two free desserts, but we decided against ordering anyway.
I understand that this is supposed to be a restaurant for college kids, probably the fake I.D. set. However, there is no reason not to serve a decent burger or to have service and music like the Grille. Not only will we not be returning, but we also will avoid the other O!O restaurant in the future. Avoid.
