Congratulations to Faith Schmidt, who was voted Best Bartender for the 2025 Ellijay Restaurant Week! 🍸✨
Faith has been a valued part of The Roof team since opening day and also shares her talents with The Door and River Street Tavern. Her creativity behind the bar and welcoming spirit have made her a favorite among locals and visitors. Faith credits her sister, Aubrey Miller, for first introducing her to the world of hospitality and teaching her the craft of mixology. When she’s not working behind “the stick,” Faith loves relaxing and spending time with her long-haired Dachshund, Drew.
We are so happy for you, Faith, and we are grateful for all the energy, passion, and heart you pour into our community and everyone who visits Ellijay, GA! 🏙️🍸✨
About Ellijay Restaurant Week
Ellijay Restaurant Week is an annual celebration of Gilmer County’s vibrant food scene.
It’s a time to spotlight the chefs, teams, and establishments that make Ellijay such a special place to eat, gather, and connect. Whether it’s a local pub, a locally owned vineyard, or a fine dining spot, each venue brings its own flavor and heart to our town. Restaurant Week is our chance to say thank you, show support, and recognize the hard work behind every great meal.
A special shoutout to this year’s finalists in the Best Bartender category: Ashlee Lee (The Roof) and K Leigh Knox (Butcher & Bottle), congratulations on your nomination! 🎉
