“Ashley is the best bartender! She is such a sweetheart. The drinks were ON POINT! One of the best Espresso martinis I've ever had. Such a neat place & so beautifully decorated! We are from out of state and decided to check it out based on the amazing reviews, it did not disappoint!!!“

“Love the patio for coffee in the morning, drinks in the evening are very nice.“

“Came here to kick off my best friends bachelorette and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing, Frannie was our server and she was excellent even took the time to memorize all of our names. We all ordered different plates so that we could share and try everything and every single thing we ordered was delicious. The duck deserves an honorable mention, it was cooked to literal perfection. The cocktails were delicious as well. Atmosphere was very neat. We will definitely be back!“

“It’s small but intimate, almost like a speakeasy. The drinks are incredible and the bartenders know their stuff!“

“Pleasant and professional staff from beginning to end. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is soulful and peaceful, calming. Although extremely busy, the Chef stopped by our table for a brief moment. Sir Christian Bell "Chef Lucke", what a pleasure; he is an exceptional young man. Thank you for making my birthday, a wonderful day with family, friends, food and fellowship, end on a very high note ! Our Rating: 5 Stars Plus! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (+ ) Our Recommendation: We recommend Oreatha's at the Point very highly, without hesitation or reservation. Dr. Yolanda and Pastor Cord Franklin, Sr. Dallas, Georgia“

“We visited The Red Phone Booth on 6/15 while in town for my cousin’s graduation. What no one knew was that I had just placed my mom on hospice and we had lost a cousin the same day—her sister and my mom’s baby sister were with us. Even in the middle of all that pain, we were shown such kindness. Sophia was amazing, and I even played pool with a member who didn’t know I could barely hold a cue. We didn’t look like what we were going through—but that night gave us joy we truly needed. Thank you for a beautiful experience. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“Amazing Food!“

“Live nearby and finally decided to walk over and give it a try. Had the Sunday fish special gumbo and I have to say, the rue was the most flavorful I've ever had! I've been to New Orleans several times and never had gumbo as complex and smooth as this.

The people were friendly and relaxed. Small neighborhood gem for sure.“

“10/10! Food and service is phenomenal! Literally no complaints! Try the egg rolls & the “one love” drink! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Had a wonderful experience with my husband at Bread & Butterfly this morning/afternoon for brunch! Food was amazing, atmosphere was inviting and service was impeccable!!! Highly recommend this restaurant and even got to talk directly with the owner/head chef Bill! If you are in the area or even if not make the drive, it will be well worth it!!! Neighborhood where it is located, Inman Park, is very nice as well with lots of walk-ability and less than 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, so make it a day or weekend trip.“

“First time in a while where I’ve been to a restaurant and everything I’ve ordered was amazing. Best cheesecake I’ve ever had 😭 and the burrata was soooo good. So surprised I’ve never had this place pop up on Google for me before. The first time it did, I tried it and omg. Definitely coming back.“

“Lots of great art to look at on all 3 floors, cozy spaces to sit and enjoy the mocktails, and ambiance is on point. Mocktails are very flavorful but a little pricey, I spent 20 bucks (after automatic tip) on 1 drink. Other neighborhood bars serving alcohol are cheaper. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“I have lived in Atlanta many years, and never thought about eating at this fine establishment. I am so glad I did. Our waiter was very attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was amazing, the Miso Sea Bass was amazing.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta! Just hosted an engagement party in their private room through the Spirited Event Group. The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience great. And of course the food and drinks were amazing.“

“Tiramisu is worth the hype. Steak was cooked really well although they didn't ask for preference. Not a full bar so limited drinks for cocktails. The polenta cakes were fine, crispy potatoes were surprisingly good. Biggest complaint is service - just didn't feel very attentive in general. You would expect better service with the vibe being intimate and cozy.“

“So many great options. I like sandwiches and order Meatball Parm, White Stripes or Muffalleta often. Fig salad and eggplant parm are special treats. Snickerdoodles can solve world problems.“

“My husband and I was looking for some place new to go for dinner and i found this place on the internet. We had never heard of it and it was close to our home so we decided to check it out. The set up is nice. I believe there are 3 or 4 dinning rooms. The staff was really nice and very attentive. We didnt make any reservations which they do prefer but they sat us still without a wait. The drinks were really good and they did not hold out on the amount of alcohol. Now the dinner. OMG Dinner was off the chain. I tip my hat off to the chef. I had the Honey Glaze Salmon and my husband is vegan so he had The Smoked spinach Asparagus Mashed potatoes and Brocolini. When I tell you this had to be the best food with so much flavor. We were more then pleased. The only complaint we have is the music got really loud. If couldnt hear each other even if you are sitting right next o each other. But other then that I will definitely return and I must say I am adding this to my list of best restaurants in Atlanta.“

“Great food and friendly people, right on the Beltline. The adult drinks are top-notch, too.“

“Really cool tucked away bar along the belt line in Atlanta! Heard about this place online and had to go while in town for a couple days. Was in a cool, happening area and loved that it was tucked away in a brewery. They had a DJ going (chill vibes) and the cocktails were great. Very swanky spot! Only downside is they close super early for a bar and it was freezing inside.“

“Honestly, I was surprised. We were in Summer Hill trying to get dinner somewhere else but they couldn't squeeze us in, so we ended up at Southern National. The food was SO good. Great variety, fresh ingredients, flavorful. The drinks and wine selection are spot onz and we've always had great service. We've added this to our regular rotation.“

“My fellow traveler and I stopped by on our way home to Virginia. It was a long day of travel, delayed flights, we just wanted to sit down and chill. We didn’t expect much out of an airport restaurant… But we were both blown away. Our server, Tarvis, was charming, professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional. The BLT with bacon jam, and the rice pudding with cinnamon and peaches was superb. (I could’ve eaten a whole jar of the bacon jam.) Tarvis, thank you for making two weary travelers leave your restaurant with pep in their step Keep on shining your light. And to any traveler who is leery of a place that serves a hamburger and a sushi roll… Fear not. This place is great.“

“Let's just say they asked us to give them a 5 star rating and if we do we get 5 percent off... But the food was warm, the food was over priced, the server tried to charge us for items we didn't receive and my daughter got potatoes with her order . My daughter told the server she wanted onions and pepper . She brings out the potatoes with no opinions or pepper.Then she proceeded to lie in my daughter's face and say they're in there. She said where??? Then she leaves and goes back and says we're out of them. But you just lied and said they're in my daughter's potatoes when clearly there wasn't any on them.. I can go on and on with the issues me and my daughter had there. And the manager didn't come over and say anything.... Mannn I be trying to support my black own business but mannnn have to be and do better ....“

“Great customer service great food“

“I don’t know why we haven’t been here sooner! Natalie Bianca is in our backyard yet we always choose to go downtown or midtown for food. Natalie Bianca is a gem in Cascade Heights. The parking isn’t the best but the vibes, food, and service make up for it. The staff seem to flow and work well together, the drinks are inventive, and the brunch is phenomenal. We will definitely be back for dinner service.

Meal recap:

Wife: Eti’s G&T (cocktail), crab cakes benedict, side of grits

Would recommend them all!!!“

“This was the BEST meal I had in Atlanta! Our waitress and staff were phenomenal! I highly recommend this place!“

“Seven ladies from Memphis went to Frost Bistro 4/5/2025 for dinner. The atmosphere was a vibe. The service was great! I took a picture with Rasheeda Frost! She is more beautiful in person!! She was kind and approachable! I love me some Rasheeda Frost!!! Our waister was Tyra. She was absolutely amazing! She suggested the sautéed brussels sprouts with my honey hot lamb chops. The sauteed brussels sprouts were a hit! My lamb chops were so moist and juicy! My food was delicious. I also had a wellness drink. It was perfect! Everybody enjoyed their food. The food was fye!! I would definitely go back!!!“

“This place is the vibe , beautiful location right on the beltline, they have patio seating in case you want to bring your dog for a quick coffee in the morning from their bakery, which is located right through the front door then at 5, they open the magical bookcase, which is actually a door that leads you the very fun cocktail bar. It’s great for a date night and they have a pretty long extensive menu cocktail list. I love love the crab cakes, probably the best crab cake I ever had.“

“Absolutely great experience was visiting from NYC and the owner who works there is from NYC, he gave me a tour and food was amazing even had a shot of Sir Davis, it was the weekend Beyonce was in town for concert. I recommend and will definitely be back when I visit....Thank you for the southern Hospitality“

“I have been here twice now and can say this is just a really fun experience. If you enjoy craft cocktails, or just even something different than the usual fine dining scene GO! You will not regret it.

Onto the details! (without giving too much away). Prepare for like a tasting menu of cocktails. The times I have been there have been 4 cocktails, each paired with a bite of food, and an amuse-bouche. The experience is themed around a 70s-90s cult classic movie that rotates a couple times a year. So far I have been to Karate Kid and Pulp Fiction. They try to do everything they can to lean into the themes, which makes for some really fun drinks (and glasses).

It takes about an hour and a half and there are add-ons as well, I would always recommend the bump, and they probably will too. If you are a big drinker you can supplement with an additional craft cocktail, which are also delicious. If you are a light weight no worries, the standard menu will treat you just right.

The food bites are usually really good for what you would expect out of a taco joint in a bus... Think a mix between bar food and fine dining while trying to adhere to the theme. All together really good flavors and fun bites.

The service, atmosphere, food, and drinks are all top notch. It is just a really fun night, this spot makes for a great date night. Let loose, get into it, and have a great time.

Some tips:
It is two to a table, probably not the place to crowd in with 12 of your friends, although apparently the later serving can get rowdy.
Get the bump
Bring someone you feel comfortable sharing with
It is very red

If Tiger Sun actually reads this please add Tron to your theme list! I will be back“

“Absolutely one of the best Vibe places I have ever experienced.“

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

“Awesome place to drink and play games. They also have a great trivia night on Sundays and a Smash Brothers Tournament!“

“WOW! One of those unique spaces in Atlanta! Tried the porter and stout! Super creamy 🍻 This venue is huge and multilevel plus patio! Amazing“

“Food is delicious and the service is amazing!!“

“Mr. Paul and the chef are extremely talented, personable, and professional. I was there to help for a day when they first opened and had the opportunity to try some of the food. The lamb burger was simply the best I’ve ever had. All of their plates look like art pieces and they do the best at making each one picture worthy.
The atmosphere and decor really set the mood. They had a vision and they executed it. I’m excited to come back sometime and try more! Great job“

“great vibe. no judgement.“

“Everything on the menu is Good. Drinks omg you will not be disappointed“

“Nicole was an excellent host!! Will come back and recommend everyone I know to this location.“

“A hidden gem you do not want to miss—JUST GO! You will not be disappointed. After reading about the opening of Folk Art in Hapeville, GA, and carefully studying their menu from my hometown in Savannah, I knew I had no choice but to make the trip. And let me tell you—it was worth every mile of that four-hour drive. I’d happily do it again just to eat here. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a warm, inviting space filled with love, laughter, and the mouthwatering aroma of incredible food. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance—elevated like fine dining, yet comforting like a small-town kitchen. I don’t know how they pulled it off, but they did. Every member of the team was not only professional but made you feel like part of the family. And the food… oh my God, the food! The menu is a stunning blend of elevated Southern comfort and inventive American classics. Each dish is perfectly executed, the portions are generous, and most importantly—everything is absolutely delicious. Don’t forget about the bar—their expertly crafted cocktails are absolutely on point, especially on a warm summer day! Folk Art Hapeville also hosts public events like live music and after-hours Drag Bingo. Finally, a place that truly has it all—and makes everyone feel welcome. There really are no words to capture how special this place is. Hapeville is lucky to have it, and I sincerely hope they bring another location to Savannah!“

“Great time, friendly service and phenomenal atmosphere. The food was amazing as well. Management Team On Point…“

“This place was an amazing vibe. The design is very artistic. The food is great. Those jerk turkey burgers were great. The wings, fries and fish is good also. The Margaritas we sooo good. The owners Will and Johnathan we very personable along with the waitresses. This is my new spot!!!!!“

“I visit this establishment quite frequently; I was there on Saturday May 10th with my son and his family for Mother's Day. Everything was wonderful to the fact I encouraged my sisters to go with me last night, I bragged about the food and the new boomerang cocktail drink for $10. We visited last night May 18th, and the service and food wasn't up to par. We didn't complain or anything we just ask for our check to pay and go on about our business. A young man walked up to our table and asked how everything was I assumed that by looking at our plates he could tell something wasn't right. The lobster tail was way overcooked or steamed, the broccoli was so over cooked that I could've made mash potatoes, the bone in steaks had so much fat (lean) meat on it was ridiculous. To our surprise the manger comped the entire meal, we wanted to pay for the appetizers as the was delicious. The manger name I believe was Tracy. He handled the situation empathy and concern as all managers should have the same mentality, put themselves in other people shoes. Consistency om the food should be a goal for your establishment. I will definitely visit again soon due to the way your manger handled the situation. Please forgive me if I have the wrong name for the manager, I do believe it was Tracy however whomever was on duty Sunday night May 19th is very observant. Thank you for your time“

“My friend told me about this new place on the Southside, so I wanted to go check it out. The service was great, the DJ was great, and the food and drinks were amazing! I would definitely recommend, and I will be back very soon.“

“This place is delicious! Everything we had was soooo delicious. The brisket sliders and strawberry banana pudding made it worth driving from Columbus. We also had the fried green tomatoes, a garden salad with fried chicken and a side of Mac n cheese which were all good as well. We definitely will be swinging back in when we come back to Atalanta.“

“Nestled in the heart of a downtown Atlanta, Five Points, is a hidden gem that captivates both the palate and the soul. LA’s Bar and Grill serves the best chicken wings hands down! The ambiance is warm and inviting, but what truly sets LA’s Bar and Grill apart is its impeccable southern hospitality. The staff treats every guest like family, ensuring a dining experience that feels both intimate and extraordinary. A visit to this delightful eatery is more than just a meal—it's an unforgettable celebration of flavor and community.“

“I’ve been going to Buteco for years — their cocktail menu is solid and the bartenders are always super helpful. Their small bites are DIVINE (chicken coxinhas, maduros, yucca fries) but their birria tacos make me lose sleep. They’re SO good! It’s also a cute and safe neighborhood to walk around. Parking is free!“

“The ambiance and service at Lumen exemplify the esteemed reputation of the Ritz Carlton. The atmosphere exudes sophistication and the staff ensures a seamless experience. I must mention the exceptional cocktails I had the pleasure of indulging in. Ayanna, the talented bartender, created an exquisite old fashioned that surpassed all expectations. It was a delightful surprise to discover that the Ritz has its own champagne selection. Ayanna's expertise in crafting beverages is truly remarkable. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Lumen to those seeking a refined and luxurious experience. The combination of top-notch drinks and impeccable service makes it an endeavor well worth undertaking.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Social Capitol shortly after its opening, and I must say—it’s already operating like a well-loved local favorite.

The staff greeted me so kindly, helped me with menu suggestions, and checked up on me just enough; being attentive without ever being intrusive. It’s clear that hospitality is a top priority here.

The food? Exceptional. I had the breakfast sandwich with a side of potatoes and a parfait. Both dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for a light bite or something hearty, the menu offers a well-balanced variety of items.

What really tied the experience together was the ambiance. The space is wonderfully designed. It’s sophisticated and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time at either dining, chatting, or working on your own thing.

Social Capitol hit everything on the nail - from excellent service and top-tier food, to a relaxing vibe. I’ll definitely be back—and bringing friends.“

“This is a wonderful hotel bar in the lobby of Aloft Atlanta. The food is quite tasty, not extraordinary, but better than your average pub. The atmosphere, service, and drinks are quite good, and overall it's worth a visit if you're lodging.The bar itself is not that big: there's less than ten seats in the bar. The lounge area is much bigger, and it even has access to the outside pool area.While they have a limited selection of beers on tap, wine and cocktails are quite good, and definitely their strong point.I ordered two tacos with a side of Mac and Cheese and a local beer on tap. It took a long time, about twenty five minutes to come out, and it wasn't particularly busy. Despite the wait, the food was pretty good!“
