Nice old place. Sides are a little small but plenty of food. Walking in, you feel like a fancy place your grandmother would have taken you to.

Been going there since the 1980’s the food is still wonderful. I only miss the butter and crackers the served long ago.

Very disappointed. I've been dining at The Colonnade since the late 1970s, and up until tonight, it's always been a good experience, in every way. My visit there with friends tonight was equally terrible. The service was slow and disrespectful. The food was cold and skimpy, and the prices were way out of line. The gravy on my turkey had skin on it. It had obviously been sitting on a counter for at least half an hour. One friend's fried chicken was dry and stringy. Another friend was served cold salmon. There was no basket of warm homemade rolls and cornbread. Instead, each diner got one cold roll and one tiny piece of cold cornbread. I hate to say it,but we've decided to cross Colonnade off our list. The new management has ruined an Atlanta institution.

I will always be a fan of this restaurant because of the integrity of their workers. I had dinner her on a Sunday. The server was great and very attentive. Later that evening I realized I left my credit card on the table. I immediately called the restaurant and was told if they had the card it was already locked up because they were closed. I went back to the restaurant the next day as soon as they opened. I told the person I had left my card there the day before and he went to check and brought my card to me. I haven't had any issues of fraudulent activity. That speaks volumes to me and raises the loyalty factor!

This icon of ATL delivers. Tried for the first time with my hubbie and two sons and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. The portions are large, the food is flavorful, NOT bland, and the service is fast and friendly. Freddy was our waiter and he was excellent. We're definitely going back!
The atmosphere was good. The prime rib was delicious, salmon croquettes where salty, fried pork was 50/50 good. Try to get refills on drinks is adventurous. It takes about 10 minutes n asking twice. (Didn't get the what the drinks we order - at least it was wet). I'm not sure i will be back. The server shouldn't have too many tables, he is nice but can't handle all his customers

I have been a loyal customer for many years. I’ve been here at least 2 dozen times Good was just outstanding on previous visits. That was not the case today. We arrived at 3:30 and the fried chicken that was served was nothing short of school garbage. It was old and cold! Overcooked and totally dried out. What a damn shame! Our server was outstanding but could not make up low quality garbage. We will not be back after seeing many recent reviews that match this.

I used to love to come to this restaurant! The food was ALWAYS the BEST! I often come to Atlanta, and the Colonnade was always on my list. However, unfortunately, that is a thing of the past. The food is now just beyond terrible. The vegetables are out of a can, and the portion sizes are way too small compared to years in the past. They are using a SMALL ice cream scoop to serve COLD vegetables. Their prices have skyrocketed, but the quality of their meats is the very lowest. Like most generational businesses, they failed to keep the standards that built the company and are going on with their past reputation. The problem is they simply did not study their past hard enough and build on the QUALITY of their food and customer service. They FAILED to RETAIN NEW CUSTOMERS, hence why their restaurants only have a few customers seated upon my visits. In a nutshell, the lack of caring for the BEST QUALITY FOOD, retaining its customer base, and developing new customers for its longevity simply spells out the demise of this Atlanta institution. Such a SHAME!
