The Crimson Moon - Dahlonega

I have been to Dahlonega many times but this was the first time trying this restaurant.THE PLACE: Cute décor. The ladies room cute but good lord trying to navigate the ramp to get into it is STEEP! An elderly or disabled person would be in peril. I'm pretty sure that it is not ADA certified. I recently had knee surgery and found it uncomfortable to go and down and there is no railing to hold onto seriously needs to be fixed.THE STAFF: The waitress although friendly looked tired from the night before whether working or out and about.THE FOOD: The fried green tomato appetizer was delicious. The grilled cheese sandwich was probably great in theory but execution was about a B . First its listed as a grilled cheese but the cheese is on the outside of the sandwich. The inside has spinach, tomato, bacon w/ an herbed mayonnaise. The liquid from the tomato and the grease from the cheese makes it messy to eat and the bread soggy. It tasted good but I wouldn't order it again. There is little cheese flavor, just sharp cheddar and since it's called a grilled cheese you would think that would be the predominant flavor. I would 86 the cheese and call it an BST or some other catchy name, it's not really a grilled cheese.

Owner kicked us out when we complained about the hostess. The hostess rudely scolded us for moving a chair, then had the audacity to tell us, you have a waitress why are you at the bar? Will never go here again.

The Crimson Moon ? used to be my friends hangout for poetry readings music! They have a small stage and we're getting ready for live entertainment Saturday night! I had the spinach artichoke dip with chips that was delicious and my friend had an incredible grilled cheese that was finished off with a CHEESE casing on the outside! The salad was also good and mostly eaten before I remembered to take the pic!

The Crimson Moon had to relocate from the previous dive bar location recently. They rebounded spectacularly and have evolved into a true listening rooms environment. The full service restaurant and bar are gone but there is a beer and wine bar with desserts and there are plenty of restaurant choices in close proximity. Long live Crimson Moon!

Great little place that serves good food and live music. The staff is very friendly and the service is good.
