Highly recommend this hidden gem.
Excellent specialty cocktails. The items off the grill section of the menu were delicious, get the short rib!
Beautiful restaurant, enjoyed seeing the open kitchen. Service was excellent, The scallops and branzino were perfectly cooked.
We had an amazing time at Fia! The ambiance was super cool and swanky, the cocktails were delicious and so was the food. Our waiter John was wonderful! Would recommend for your next girls night out or date night.
As always, great food, great service. The best hummus in the world. John was a particular joy to have as our server. 
If you are black, and expect to be treated respectfully while you dine, do not come to Fia. My wife I have been guests at Fia several times. We love this restaurant. We’ve never had a bad experience until yesterday, Sunday, June 8th.
Our reservation was at 6 pm. We arrived early, had a couple drinks and the bar, then just before 6, the bartender checked us in and we were seated at our table. This is when our pleasant experience cease to be pleasant. Our waiter, a white guy in his late 50’s, never greeted us, never introduced himself, never said anything. For about 10 minutes, my wife and I watched him laugh and trade pleasantries with the other three tables. Finally he comes over, clears the extra plates and glasses, fills our water glasses with still water, which we don’t drink. He immediately asked us if we knew what we wanted for our entree’s, so I explained that we were in no hurry and wanted to have drinks and appetizers first. He took the drink orders, returned with our cocktails moments later and again asked if we had decided on our main course. I explained a second time that we were going to relax and have appetizers first. We ordered three appetizers and they were brought to the table promptly. Halfway through enjoying our appetizers, the waiter comes by and asks a third time “do you know what you want for your entree’s? I won’t rush you, the kitchen just likes to know.” I say “ok, that’s fair but are you sure you aren’t going to rush us? You already are and we want to hang out for a while and take our time.” He says “c’mon man I’ve been doing this a long time.” We comply and tell him our choices for dinner. He doesn’t explain the dishes or wine pairings as we listened to him do with the other tables. He took our orders, grabbed the menu out of my hand and walked off. For the next 10 minutes we sat with dirty appetizer plates and empty cocktail glasses, as our waiter attended to the other 3 tables, laughing and explaining the menu and wine to them. I thought that was interesting. Finally, he comes over to take our dirty plates and empty cocktail glasses, and I ask him for another round of drinks as well as the pork belly appetizer. He says “well, your entree’s are about to come out.” I say “wait, wait. Did we not just speak about not wanting our entree’s yet? You just told me you were not going to rush us.” He says “I didn’t rush you.” Mind you, we were seated at 6 pm and it’s now 6:25. He clearly did not want us there. We refused the entree’s, asked for the bill for the drinks and appetizers, which he felt compelled not to charge us for, and we left hungry and my wife was thoroughly embarrassed. She wore a $700 Tory Burch dress and $400 heels. I was wearing a Brooks Brothers suit, shirt and tie, so aesthetically we were more than appropriate. Our server felt like we had no place in this restaurant and his actions made it clear. My advice is this: if you are black and wanted to be treated with respect, do not come here. Clearly the standard procedure is to smile and be friendly with the white guests and to rush the black patrons through dinner service and get them out of the restaurant. Sad.
This was my third dining experience at FIA restaurant. The previous experiences were outstanding, so the bar was set very high! Thankfully, all expectations were surpassed! The drinks and craft cocktails to start, were extremely tasty and well balanced. The appetizers ranged from simple olives, à la carte, to chargrilled octopus and gnocchi, which was so pillowy and sublimely flavorful that we found ourselves searching for more. The octopus is always good and it did not disappoint. The star of the appetizers though was the chimichurri sauce served with fire roasted bread course. It was so intensely flavorful, that we asked for a side to take home! The main courses were wonderful as usual. The woodfired Branzino was the best I've had in Atlanta. The lobster risotto could've used a touch more salt, but the flavor profile was next level. The dish contained perfectly cooked, chunks of lobster claw meat and the texture of the risotto was a touch past al dente. All in all, a five out of five stars! FIA never disappoints!
I didn't know that this restaurant was inside a Bonvoy property when I booked it. It was very intimate, very quiet. It was perfect for a mid week dinner when you want to hear what's being said. The food was very good, the service was timely and not obtrusive. It was a little gem of a find. Would definitely return.
This is our 3rd time to dine at Fia and the food is outstanding. Always fresh ingredients and presentation is beautiful. Would highly recommend the Pan Seared Potato Gnocchi with Grilled Ciabatta. The best I have eaten. The Tomahawk Pork Chop was delicious! All recommendations from our server John who was excellent! I highly recommend Fia for a truly fine dining experience!
I have been to Fia several times for "date nights" and it never ceases to impress. Our initial order was cocktails and we let our server know we were in no hurry. We were left to our conversation until we signal our readiness to order. Salads came out quickly, then our entrees arrived with good spacing thereafter. The entrees were absolutely delicious! My guest, whose birthday it was, ordered the whole Branzino with some reservation. She had ordered this before elsewhere and it was dry. Not so at Fia. The Branzino was moist and perfectly cooked as was my lamb shank. Our server was attentive, not overly so, and refilled our wine glasses without us having to ask. Our meal culminated with sharing the vanilla creme brulee which was delectable. I highly recommend Fia, both for a date or couples night, dinner with friends, or a business dinner.
This was our first time here and omg, the food was soooooo delicious!! 1000/10 highly recommend!!!!!! The gnocchi, the ciabatta bread, the PORK BELLYYYY!!! The lamb shank, the short ribbbbb, ALLLLL TASTED SOOOOO GOOOOOD compliments to the chef. They can take my money EVERY TIME. Only thing that was mid, was the creme brûlée, I wouldn't get that again. But everything else, YES YES 1000x YES

Ceasar salad was a big disappointment—-flavorless and no anchovies (who does that). And Branzino looked great but also under seasoned. Brussel sprouts were full of flavor. Salmon worked (thanks yo the capers. FIA need a little more cooking courage.
Mark at the bar is just to put it simple - world class. I’ve sat down at bars with bartenders at some of the most prestigious restaurants all over the world, and Mark is one of the very best if not the best. The atmosphere is beautiful, all of the staff is very nice, and it’s a beautiful place to come as a local for an upscale and balanced restaurant and cocktail experience. 12/10 would recommend if you’ve been thinking about it.
This is the second time we've been to this restaurant and love the surrounding area near the bar. Our servers Mark were wonderful although they were a little busy so it was slower than normal. Everyone really enjoyed their food. My husband enjoyed the short rib again. I ordered the prawn for dinner as an appetizer and it was delicious, except for it was a little overcooked. We will go back again for sure
I've been going to Fia since it opened. I've never been disappointed. Its my favorite place.
I was staying at the hotel and having this restaurant in there was an amazing surprise. The fish was amazing and also the sides, I never tried a hot hummus but it was delicious.
Staff was very friendly too!
