Pandora On The Square: Exceptional Fine Dining & Warm Hospitality in McDonough, GA

My husband and I had an exciting adventure on a Wednesday evening - dinner at Pandora on the Square! To our surprise, the square was surprisingly busy for a weekday, which is a positive sign! However, we had to drive around a few times before finding parking. Fortunately, the hostess seated us promptly. The ambiance and atmosphere were great. Our server, Robert, was incredibly professional, kind, and efficient. We decided to share the appetizer, which were fried green tomatoes ($14). They were hot (in temperature) and incredibly tasty. For our main entrees, we opted for shrimp and grits (S&G $28) and lamb chops ($44). Both dishes had flavor, but the lamb chops were significantly better than the S&G. We understand that your establishment is relatively new, and I’m sure you’ll continue to improve with time. However, I have one suggestion: consider lowering the main entree prices by $5.00. After a tip, we ended up spending over $175 (including a bottle of wine $44). While we don’t mind spending money, we believe that these price adjustments might help retain returning customers. We plan to visit again.

First visit to Pandora and it was very nice. The staff was very nice and accommodating. We have reservations and upon arrival, we were seated immediately. The food was delicious and the drinks were delightful! My only critique is the size of the tables. They should be larger.

You don’t have to go far to experience fine dining…superb food…down home atmosphere! So my husband and I decided to have a date night and visit Pandora on the Square. As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted by the warmest “hellos”…I knew then we were onto something! This vibe was carried by EVERY waiter, waitress (including ours, Tianna - who was absolutely the prime example of a person who strives for perfection), bartender, chef, and manager! But yall, even with this high level of hospitality the food and beverages were unparalleled…unmatched. We started with the fried green tomatoes - which were cooked to perfection. They were light, crispy, and complimented with this corn/sauce concoction designed by paradise - Wow! At this point we thought we were ready for the main course…but we weren’t…I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and greens - every bite was tender, juicy, and flavorful. But everything was topped when my husband attempted to challenge one of the featured chefs by requesting him to “create a dish”…that challenge was smashed into pieces when my husband was presented this masterpiece comprising of a creamy risotto, steak, and broccolini. I CANNOT describe what was actually cooked into this dish because it was not only unique but delicious - I mean DELICIOUS. We are so proud of what was witnessed and experienced. Dinner, lunch, date nights, birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers - consider Pandora on the Square - we may see you there! Cheers

Opening night with chef Carlos and Juan (Sunday evening) and BAMthe food is top notch! Shrimp and Grits were fantastic, some of the best I’ve had, Halibut was very good over rice. Fried green tomatoes were spot on and the prongs were whole and perfectly cooked. The server was a little slow but they are learning and may be new to fine dining table service. To top it all off, the chocolate cake was the BOMB and that’s saying something coming from a chocoholic ! Loved it and we will be back! Great job guys!

This has been a BIRTHDAY MONTH to remember… if you’re craving fine dining with a touch of elegance… make reservations for your dining experience. Valet parking on Friday & Saturday nights… Sommelier on staff to pair wine and menu be it date night… couples outing or an employee appreciation event you won’t be disappointed

Went here a couple weeks back and food was very flavorful & good. I can’t remember our servers name, but he was very helpful & pleasant. I ordered the shrimp & grits which was seasoned just right. The shrimp were a nice size and great. I had an old-fashion for a drink. For $18 I thought it should’ve been more in the glass. It was under half full, but it was a smooth. My only downside were the gnats flying over our food as our table was seated next to the window. It was annoying to keep swatting. Hopefully they are switched out for fake ones to solve problems for other patrons. Also the location is within the square so it’s only street parking or parking down the way at another bldg.
