Three years ago, we dined at Ray's at Killer Creek in Alpharetta, Georgia. We have wanted to return for another wonderful meal ever since. This weekend we were fortunate enough to be in the area and were able to return. Here is the blog post from our prior visit. The atmosphere here is one of peace, quiet, and elegance.
