“From out of town okay vibe“

“Friendly staff, great food. Neighborhood kind of place. Someone posted a complaint that the place was too loud, with music and TV sports happening simultaneously, which was a little startling to read. I order take out from there occasionally, but its a bar, for Christ's sake! People drinking, eating and unwinding after a hard day. If that displeases you, go to McDonald's. Some folks have nothing nice to say, but unfortunately, they say it anyway.“

“The Best all around! Food, atmosphere, service, all The Best!“

“The atmosphere was super fun and unique - we loved the skeleton character seen throughout the menu and branding, as well as the eclectic and cool decor found throughout the restaurant. Not only was the restaurant full of character, the menu was full of unique and delicious items too. From a classic wedge salad, to the unexpected sweet and sour chargrilled pork steak, and the lemon-cornmeal cake for dessert, everything tasted amazing; every plate left our table completely cleared. To top it all off, the drinks were delicious too! Perfect mixes of flavor and the right amount of buzz, we could not be happier with our experience at the Ticonderoga Club.

Every staff member was friendly and courteous. Big shoutouts and thank you’s to Franny, our server, who was super attentive and gave us fantastic menu recommendations, as well as Greg for making our experience extra special (as well as being one of the folks we can thank for bringing this place to life).

The Ticonderoga Club is truly special and I highly recommend everyone to grab a bite, drink some cocktails, and enjoy the vibes at the House of the Friends of the Skull!“

“Dining at Atlas in Atlanta was, without a doubt, the most extraordinary culinary experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but nothing has compared to this. What made this evening so unforgettable wasn’t just the masterfully crafted dishes (which were phenomenal), but the people who brought the experience to life. Chef Money and his incredible team, including Maxwell, Julian, and many others, showed a level of hospitality and genuine kindness that I have never encountered in fine dining. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel not just welcome, but truly cared for. And the food. Every single bite was absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a perfect blend of artistry, flavor, and emotion. You could feel the heart behind every plate. From the first amuse to the final bite of dessert, I found myself completely immersed in the flavors. Every course built upon the last, creating a seamless, delicious journey I didn’t want to end. This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a beautifully orchestrated experience filled with warmth, creativity, and connection. Chef Money and his team have created something truly special at Atlas. I left feeling full, grateful, and honestly in awe of what I had just experienced. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. I cannot wait to return.“

“Dinner was good. But the main kudos go to management. There was an issue with one of our dishes and the manager went above and beyond to make it right. Server was attentive, food was well prepared, and the evening was lovely. We will be back.“

“The restaurant was very inviting and the staff is awesome..Food is very delicious 👍🏿👏🏿❤️❤️“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“The atmosphere, the delicious breakfast and the excellent service. Faith was our server. So friendly and nice. The background music was good and not too loud 👍 Great experience“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“Sprig is one of my favorite places to wine and dine (and whiskey!) The food is always exceptional and the costumer service is fantastic!“

“The food was truly incredible. Every dish had wonderful enticing flavors. And the labor and effort that went into every dish is significant. The duck confit was perfectly cooked, the lobster was phenomenal, and the sausage was amazeballs- I could eat that for consecutive dinners in a row for weeks.“

“The Argosy has consistently great food and a fantastic tap list. It's a huge part of East Atlanta Village and a gourmand's dream.“

“Had such an enjoyable time with Bianca. She was incredibly hospitable and made me feel right at home—like I was sitting at my own kitchen table.“

“This place is soo cute and such a fun after church vibe on a Sunday the staff was amazing shout out to Becca and the manager on duty as well as the food runners. They all were so helpful and welcoming thank you for helping us celebrate my best friend’s birthday. We will definitely be back. The Crab hush puppies and burgers are definitely a hit the salmon dip need seasoning but the drinks were perfect !“

“First time for us and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The drinks were amazing and Reginald gave great recommendations and he was attentive. Definitely going back.“

“We had an overall good experience at this restaurant. The food was okay. We ordered the whole snapper, salmon, and squid ink pasta. Everything was ok.

After dinner, we informed the server that it was a birthday and asked for a dessert. Unfortunately, the dessert came without any candles or a birthday message, which was disappointing and took away from the moment.

Aside from that, the service and atmosphere were fine, and everything else went well.“

“Food was amazing 😍 Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful — and the service made it even better. Already planning my next visit 🤩🥐☕“

“We had a staff dinner and experienced VV’s cooking class. Rina Moreno was our chef providing guidance on the meal’s preparation and techniques to use in the kitchen. A gun experience, wonderful meal and Ms Moreno was a delightful host and guide. Recommend and we will return.“

“Food was amazing!!!! Service was great!“

“Lydell is very attentive and patient with me because this is my first visit. He explained all menu items in detail that I had questions about and made sure was comfortable with my wine choices. Thanks! Lydell you have been a super star ⭐️“

“July 05, 2025 Greetings, This evening, I had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion, my partner and I chose to dine at a fine dining establishment in downtown Atlanta. Regrettably, after we visited your downtown Atlanta location, it became clear that my hope for an outstanding dining experience was unlikely to be met. Upon our arrival, we had to wait despite having made a reservation several hours earlier. Eventually, we were seated at a table no larger than a nightstand. I immediately observed that, unlike the other tables, the candle on ours was unlit. This should have served as an indication of the service to follow. Once seated, we were presented with the menu and asked for two sweet teas. Soon after, we placed our orders. After waiting twenty minutes, we realized that our drinks had been forgotten. We subsequently reminded our waitress that we had ordered two sweet iced teas. After an additional ten minutes, our drinks arrived. Fifteen minutes later, our food finally arrived. Upon its arrival, I noticed a sticky substance around the $75 steak I had ordered. After considerable effort to cut into it, I tasted the meat and found it to be overcooked—its flavor reminiscent of a meal unintentionally left on the grill by an intoxicated cook. It was unsatisfactory, and I requested a remake. At this point, we had spent over an hour at your restaurant, and the staff began cleaning up. Finally, around 12:05 a.m., the re-cooked steak was brought out. Although it was an improvement over the first, it still did not merit the price of $75. Given that my potatoes were cold and the minimal ice in my refilled iced tea had melted, I opted to forgo the steak altogether. My partner, who is more willing to accept mediocre service, encouraged me to take the steak back to the hotel, which led us to request a to-go box. Ten minutes later, we received a small cardboard box, barely big enough for my food. Further, we were not offered anything to carry the sauce in, utensils, or even a bag. Shortly after, we received our bill, which totaled approximately $195.00, excluding gratuity. At that moment, I was overwhelmed with emotion and informed my partner that I needed a few minutes outside to collect my thoughts. I found it challenging to rationalize $200 for a meal arguably valued at $20 and customer service worth $10. Despite my objections, my partner insisted on refraining from discussing this matter with a manager. He wanted to avoid any conflict on my birthday. While I appreciate his noble intentions, I possess a strong aversion to inequality in any form. The treatment we received in an establishment that professes luxury and exemplary customer service was inadequate and perhaps a sign of your treatment towards Minority LGBT customers. We deserved a better experience. Although my birthday weekend was great, this experience was horrible. I am genuinely disappointed with my visit to your Atlanta location. I would have had a more satisfying experience at a more casual establishment, such as Texas Roadhouse, for a fraction of the costû. Sincerely, Gregory A. Reid Jr. Brandon F. Williams“

“I really enjoyed saints and council. It’s a beautiful addition to colony square and the restaurant is very beautiful with a calming atmosphere. The food and drinks were amazing and our server King did a phenomenal job and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ classic • elegant • unique • delicious Atlanta, The Garden Room is the place to be on any night, but weekends are amazing because you get the chance to catch their in house DJ after 9pm. Make a reservation because they are sure to be fully committed. The brilliant and talented individuals that support the service at this upscale lounge are top notch. Jennifer, one of the managers has built an amazing relationship with my spouse and I. Her attention to detail is second to none. She remembers everything that we enjoy, the flavors we love and the food compositions that excite our palate, and she delivers one of a kind specialties. A few items that should land on your bucket list to try include: •I Love Lychee Martini: the best in ATL •Not So French •Love Potion •Fresh Baked focaccia bread served with balsamic vinegar and oils •SQUASH CAPPELLETTI ♥️ Everything on the menu was delicious including the custom Lychee Bon Bon’s that the pastry chef prepared for us in advance because I love Lychee so much. Jennifer scored us a show stopping VIP booth to the DJ. Her knowledge of the lounge and the Michelin Star restaurant “Atlas” next door was impeccable. Please don’t sleep on this lounge and get there as soon as you can.“

“Food is fantastic, service is great. My favorites the grilled artichoke, Smoked Salmon, Lamb chops, Steaks and every salad is delicious. I must try the burgers I hear they are highly recommended. What huge selection of wines too.“

“Great food friendly people and tasty drinks!“

“The chicken and waffles ? I’m not for atl but when I come back this will be the first stop“

“Parking is a mess for dinner on a late Friday night but it was worth the hassle. We parked on the streets in the neighborhoods and got a drink at the bar before our reservation. The drinks were great and the space is nice! The food was DELICIOUS. I would 100% recommend starting with the fry bread with pepperoni butter. That is a must have and the Japanese sweet potatoes are hands down the best sweet potatoes I’ve ever had. The Duck + fig plate I had was delicious and I’m glad I have leftovers. The Vegan Goods were good but nothing to die over. And finally the matcha crème Brûlée was good!“

“it was just a normal experience with Grand Hyatt, a little disappoint from the management service.. after all everything is great , especially hotel bar, Anyway, I will recommend you to visit once“

“Outstanding food! Must do the chef’s tasting experience at least once. The food and service are equally outstanding! This restaurant is one of the BEST in Atlanta! 😋😋“

“My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening and meal! Great food! Great Atmosphere! Will definitely be back!!!“

“I had a amazing time at 5Church Atlanta. Went for friends birthday. A lot of other Restaurants in Atlanta had horrible 2 hour wait times but this restaurant did not . Great Service. Great Food. Great location. Best restaurant experience I had in years . It’s so nice. Very upscale, classy , urban vibe . We got there early before reservation like 15/20 mins was able to be seated immediately. Waitress got drink orders and menu orders fast . Food came out quickly 15/20 mins . It was delicious and warm. All the food was delicious. Will go again and recommend it . Great restaurant, probably one of best in Atlanta. Prices were affordable $40/60/100 depending on number of people in group and good portions for food , so you can order a few things and split: try a few things on menu . It’s worth money and experience. Me and friend had lamb burger , fries . Other Friend got waffle and chicken .“

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“The food was great but our waitress Shannon will be the reason I go back! She is wonderful- if you go ask for her, she is a delight!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Longleaf in the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and Chef Ryan and his team did an absolutely fantastic job. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff truly made us feel extra special, which added so much to the experience. Our server, Madison, was incredibly attentive and accommodating, and another server who assisted her was equally wonderful. The entire atmosphere was warm, inviting, and relaxing—perfect before an evening walk through the Garden Lights.
The food and drinks were exceptional. I ordered a refreshing mocktail garnished with candied ginger, and you could truly taste the freshness in every sip. Everything we ordered was clearly made from scratch.
For appetizers, we enjoyed the beef tartare, clam chowder, and the standout cauliflower hummus. While everything was delicious, the beef tartare and especially the cauliflower hummus were unforgettable. The hummus was incredibly fresh with a perfectly creamy texture—one of my favorite dishes of the night.
For our entrées, we tried the double-stack Wagyu smash burger, the beef short rib, and a kale salad. We also ordered side dishes of roasted carrots, truffle mushrooms, and fingerling potatoes—each one absolutely phenomenal and bursting with flavor. All the dishes were vibrant, fresh, and cooked to perfection.
For dessert, we enjoyed a s’mores tart and a pumpkin cheesecake, paired with a cup of coffee. It was the perfect ending to a truly wonderful meal.
I highly recommend trying Longleaf before walking the Botanical Garden holiday lights. The lights were breathtaking and made the entire evening even more special. Just a tip: make your Garden Lights reservation for a little earlier than your dinner reservation, since the restaurant is inside the garden and you need entry before dining. We had a small mix-up with our times, but thankfully the staff was very accommodating and made sure we could get to the restaurant without any issues.
Overall, this was an incredible dining experience—delicious food, excellent service, and a magical setting. We felt celebrated and cared for the entire evening. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the garden during the holidays“

“Excellent service! Great atmosphere!“

“Nice atmosphere!! Great neighborhood pub!“

“My first time at Lazy Dog was a treat!! The staff was very friendly and Frank especially was so great to my party & I, making sure we were okay & had everything we needed! Truly was a great experience thanks to Frank and we appreciate the professionalism & kindness! Will be back!“

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday and even though the food didn't come back quite like some wanted it, we definitely appreciated the server Jamani for assisting our server who seemed a little overwhelmed and the Manager Taylor was awesome! He was great with fixing the issues and making the situation better considering it was a birthday brunch celebration! He & Jamani even sang Happy Birthday with us to her! It ended up being a good time! Thank you guys so much!“

“Great neighborhood hangout with good food and drinks.“

“I highly recommend this chain! It breaks up the monotony of the other quick service bowl restaurants. They offer unique seasonal options for sauces and I love that they will give you the sauce and dressings on the side and you can administer it yourself. Fell in love with the jerk sauce Summer 2025 and I can’t wait to stop by again to try what’s new for fall 2025. Smart concept, quick service, healthy food, and lastly, I love the fact that they offer MOUTHWASH in the restroom.“
