Tapas Restaurants near Dunwoody, GA

“Live music is the best. Food was great and they a really good bar“

“We stopped in for some tapas and cold drinks and thoroughly enjoyed everything about T.I.P. We had a wonderful server named Brandi, who ironically is mentioned in the reviews. We had questions about some of her recommended tapas and she nailed it. We had a very enjoyable experience and will be coming back again!“

“Nice place to eat and dance Latin music!“

“Here’s a cleaner, polished version for your Google review that still keeps your voice and hospitality insight:

Came to this restaurant after attempting to go somewhere else in the area, but I’m honestly glad we ended up here instead. Upon arriving, we were oddly greeted by a rude customer instead of an employee — their party was literally standing about five feet away from the entrance. However, the host handled the situation professionally without attitude or seeming bothered, which I appreciated. We asked to sit at the bar, and the host escorted us over right away.

Once seated, we were immediately acknowledged by the bartender. I hate that I didn’t catch her name because this young lady truly understood the steps of service. While the greeting itself could have had a little more warmth and introduction, she quickly made up for it in every other way possible. She stayed attentive the entire experience — got our drink orders quickly, checked back consistently, made sure we had refills, gave menu recommendations, and most importantly gave honest opinions that did not steer us wrong.

I won’t mention what I ordered because honestly, people should explore the menu for themselves instead of just ordering what everyone else says is popular. The food was enjoyable overall.

The only delay was the hookah taking quite some time to arrive, and our food did come out later than expected. However, she communicated the entire time, kept us updated, apologized sincerely, and immediately got someone involved to assist with the situation. That level of communication matters.

One thing I continue noticing at several restaurants lately — and this was no exception — is the lack of visible management presence. No manager was seen touching tables, checking on guests, or supporting the floor. Management visibility can truly elevate a dining experience, especially when issues arise.

The bathrooms were clean, which I always pay attention to. However, the lavender and vanilla gel beads were a little overpowering. Also, if the kitchen door is going to remain open, the visible areas behind it should stay organized, clean, and properly put away because guests absolutely notice those details.

Overall, the bartender truly carried the experience with professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality.

Bartender: Indie
MOD: Ice (had to ask the host)“

“Amazing staff and fabulous food and beverage options. Thank you for hosting us! Looking for a place to host a birthday gathering, team outing, or event. They have options for you.“

“Wow - didn’t even know about this place, but it’s going to the top of the rotation. Lower key than UMI or Brush, but the omakase was terrific and the service was exceptional at describing every course and going deep on the sake pairings. Very rarely this surprised.“

“Had an amazing private event here for my 50th birthday - excellent service, great good and drinks and the vibe was perfect for my loved ones. Highly recommend and excited to be a regular guest going forward!“

“We tried this place out at Toco Hill this weekend. I was blown away by the food, drinks and service! It is our new favorite in Atlanta! Can’t wait to go back! The GM and the owner came over to say hello and asked how we enjoyed everything.❤️“

“Enjoyed a wonderful dining experience with great friends. The menu was full of wonderful dishes. The service and the atmosphere were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting this family owned restaurant for an amazingly authentic dining experience.“

“The small plates were delicious. Shrimp, potatoes and skirt steak. Service was terrific. Main dishes were plentiful and prepared as requested. Will go back.“

“5/5 Stars! Y3S is in a league of its own. Between the personalized welcome from Diana, the expert service from Darius and Cam, and the incredible steak and lobster from Chef Milton, we felt like VIPs. They even made me a custom drink not found on the menu! We loved the bowling and the themed photo booth. If you want a place that treats you like royalty and nails every detail, this is it. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Food was fantastic! Highly recommend the Korean chicken.“

“OK, my first trip to this restaurant. I've seen it for decades.
I took two of my daughters and treating them to a really good lunch.

Everything really was tasty and done pretty well. My oldest daughter actually works at a really high-end restaurant in Alpharetta. at the Avalon!

She's about to become the floor manager of their new location in Peachtree Corners.
She's 29 years old and has served billionaires in South Florida at one of the most exclusive clubs outside of Marago!

Her opinion carries a lot of weight

Zest, definitely lived up to their high Google rating even in the middle day on a Thursday…

I would recommend this place. Here's a couple pictures of what we ate.“

“so Beautiful restaurant. Staff very friendly.“

“I Attended the grand opening of Stäge Dunwoody this Friday, May 15th, and the entire evening felt thoughtfully orchestrated from start to finish. From the ownership team to manager Gorman and my waitress Tory, the hospitality was genuine, polished, and effortless, the kind of service that elevates a dinner into an experience. Tory guided the night perfectly with recommendations that never missed: cocktails layered with flavor, standout small plates, and upgrades like freshly grated wasabi paired with my sashimi and sushi platter that completely changed the experience. Every detail felt intentional. The food itself was exceptional. Chef Chuck delivered dishes that were rich, balanced, and memorable without ever feeling overworked. The roasted duck lasagna with white truffle béchamel was easily one of the most unique dishes I’ve had this year, deeply savory, velvety, and indulgent in all the right ways. Each bite layered tender duck, delicate pasta, and earthy truffle into something that felt both comforting and elevated. For sushi lovers, the sashimi and sushi platter crafted by Chef Vin is a must. The cuts were pristine, buttery, and beautifully presented, with flavors so clean they practically melted away on the palate. Paired with the fresh wasabi, the experience became even more vibrant and aromatic. Beyond the food, the atmosphere tied everything together seamlessly. The music set the tone without overpowering the room, the venue carried an upscale but welcoming energy, and every moving part of the evening flowed naturally. Stäge Dunwoody opened its doors with confidence, precision, and warmth. If this grand opening was any indication of what’s ahead, Dunwoody’s dining scene just gained a serious standout. I’m already looking forward to returning to explore their brunch and lunch menus.“

“I have been wanting to try Nakato for a long time. We finally had the chance this past Saturday. We loved everything 🥰I feel privileged to go to a distinct place like this 🙏Highly recommend!“

“Great service. Food was amazing, with nicely size portions. The atmosphere was nice, and elegant. I will be returning!“

“Visited for the first time yesterday to have the kimbap and it was delicious! I'll be back for more.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere and great service.“

“Thank you, Kai! Our meal was delicious and healthy. I’m gluten free so I love having options. The grain bowl with salmon is filling and healthy and tastes great! The avocado salad was also delicious as was it beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!“

“I came to enjoy a nice meal and drink but was provided with a lifelong memory of one the best dining experiences in my life. And I’m a foodie. I love to eat out. The food here changed my life. I will never forget the Arroz Socarrat and the Hamachi ceviche. First, the hamachi was bursting with flavor. Subtle yet slightly spicy with a little crunch. Then came the rice socarrat. Unreal and full of flavor. No photo because they serve it and then mix it up for you. Plus, by the looks of it, I had no clue it was going to over stimulate my taste buds like it did. Therefore it wasn’t on my mind to take a photo.

I also enjoyed two margaritas. My favorite was the Rosa Caliente but the Avocado Margarita was fire as well.

The best thing about my experience was my server. Ashley, was more than 5 star! She guided my food choices and I could not have been more pleased. Truly a remarkable dinner and memorable one as well.“

“Really enjoyed our time at Up on the Roof. Food and service were excellent. Have been twice now and each time was a great experience“

“My wife and I go to a wine tasting couple times a year here. It is a little pricey but it is a fun thing to do and the wine is good and the food is excellent. They serve appetizers with each two pores of wine. Recommend getting a full glass of wine and a separate appetizer when you get there.

Vegetarian options: They can accommodate some vegetarian options. But many of their appetizers do have meat.

Parking: Parking is in a large shared strip mall parking area.

Kid-friendliness: This event is not for kids. Many couples are there spending an evening away from their kids!

Wheelchair accessibility: The space is on the ground floor. The door is a single door, but I don't know if there's any wheelchair accessible seating. Most of this is at a bar height.“

“EVERY-SINGLE EMPLOYEE THERE IS AMAZING! I disagree with the below comments there are plenty of signs and they even gave out a print out of the parking directions etc. everyone I spoke with was amazing, kind, funny and oh so helpful! all around amazing! Chas thank you so much for being well you!“

“I would highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, the staff is amazing and the environment is amazing! This place is absolutely perfect for company events, date night or just to hangout. I will definitely be back!“

“Stones is one of our all time favorites. We have known the owner for many years and he cares a great deal for his restaurant, staff, and customers. Food and cocktails are outstanding. Burger is the best around. It’s so nice to have a restaurant in the area that isn’t a chain and holds a certain standard.“

“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.“

“Came all the way from Florida to try this place out! Enjoyed the Brunch and the special latte. Service was great, and loved the ambiance! Will be back soon!“

“We go here at LEAST once a week! Love the people and food. Mezcal margaritas, the best!“
