My husband and I enjoyed the food, however it was overpriced. The pasta & shrimp was $30 as well as the shrimp & grits. The pasta dish was very bland and I would not order it again, they should include mushrooms, etc as toppers. Our server Kalah, was very attentive. The appetizers and mini corn muffins were delicious!

We visted the pecan on 2/14/2016 at the recommendation of a few coworker who stated that the food was good. My husband and I enjoyed the food, however the service was horrible. We almost left. Once we walked in the door we had to wait about 5 minutes before being greeted. Then we had to wait another 10 before being seated. The restaurant is not that big and there were several empty tables. Then we waited about 30 minutes for our food. After being seated we waited about 15 minutes before a server approached our table. As we waited for our food, we saw several people come in and experience the same thing. At one point I called the hostess over to remind her that a couple who had waited about 15 minutes to be seated was waiting another 15 minutes and no one had approached their table. Patrons had to run the servers down to get a menu and to simply take their order. The most disturbing was an elderly couple who were there when we got there. They complained about their service and was never really given a server. At the end they waited about 20 minutes for their bill. They stood at the door with coats on waiting for there bill. We saw three servers and only bus boy. The only thing that made this experience pleasant was our server, he attitude was great. She informed us that she is not a server, she is the bartender and was just helping out. They place needs more people like her.

My husband and I are residents of South Fulton and we were looking to try out new restaurants in our area. I discovered the pecan through the South Fulton magazine that we receive monthly in the the mail. We went for our date night, the service was awesome. I made reservations and when we arrived we had no wait time and they gave us the best seat in the house (a corner window nook) it's was so romantic and the ambience was perfect. The food was amazing! The seafood wontons,OMG!!!!!! The only complaint I would have is that the front door kept getting jammed and cold air would blow in making it a little uncomfortable. My husband had to get up twice to close it every time someone would come in. Other than that awesome place.

We were very impressed with the overall quality of the food, starting with the appetizer sampler that was recommended by our server; it was great! The restaurant itself was obviously dated and there were tears in the bench seating. The service started out a bit slow (probably due to a very large party being there), but improved throughout our dinner. Overall the experience was very good and I would return again if in the area.
