Skip the entree and jump straight to the cake! Last Resort used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Athens. I have praised this establishment and spent thousands of dollars here in the past, each time leaving satisfied. Following my last visit I left in disbelief. Last Resort, is now the actual last resort!

If you're part of this liberalized, millennial ecosystem that now plagues most of America's college towns, disregard this review. You have survived on Ramen noodles and positive reinforcement long enough for your standards to be bust. You will most likely take no value in the traditional entente of food and service. If not, please consider the following...

Firstly, this restaurant over-books their tables. This is the root of my discontent. Due to the fact they overbook, you're constantly in a state of rush! They employ an army of quick fingered troglodytes to grasp your half eaten appetizer the very minute you relax to take a sip of your paltry wine selection.

Secondly, the food is over-embellished. Your market price filet will most likely be a execrable cut that was cooked outside of your preference, the pork belly appetizer you ordered to impress your father-in-law will be dry/underwhelming, and your server (while appearing totally woke with their progressive hair style) will mostly likely not understand why a salad should not be delivered with the entree.

If you're planning to bring you parents to Last Resort so you can show them how much you've blossomed as an adult while in college, reconsider. Save some face, get some tacos from the Georgia theater while enjoying the rooftop vibes, and maybe a cocktail and some cake from Last Resort afterwards. Bon appetit!
