“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“Phenomenal experience!

Devan was the man- he took care of us - we sat upstairs which is the best table as you get to get a Birds Eye view of the hustle of a cool restaurant.

Green Salad is top 10 best in the city, right next to BarTaco’s Kale salad. And HUGE, we shared one and could barely finish it.

Lamb Pasta was outta control, it was my wife’s meal but I kept stealing bites.

Lamb burger was excellent, the masala fries were unique but very delicate and seasoned with something exotic.

Mussels were good but LARGE. I’m used to the kind that you can slurp, these you had to chew. Still yummy.

I had 2 daiquiris and shared 2 bourbon drinks , forgot the name, it was two words like “burly samsonite” or “brownie stowaway” - but RECOMMMENDED 🥃

Super romantic table upstairs. There are only 2 2-tops up there so I think you have to special ask for it. I wouldn’t even notice them if we had sat downstairs.

Will be back!“

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

“I don’t usually write reviews but Michelle deserves one. She remembered my name, caught things I didn’t even mention, and made me feel like I was the only person in the room, even when it was packed.

She’s solid.

Oh, and her Old Fashioned is good. Best one I’ve had in a long time.

If you go to Strangers in Paradise, ask for Michelle. You won’t be disappointed at all. My favorite.“

“My daughter took me thier today for my bday lunch, from the greater to my suprised bday desert was amazing!! I can't wait to go back, the interior decor is amazing!!“

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

“The best bar in Atlanta. The best service very lowkey and amazing craft style bar.

Ask for Terry let him know your palate and he will make a drink specially made for you. These are not bar tenders these are craftsman.

Thank you Terry“

“Gorgeous interior. Nice bartenders. Black owned. I enjoyed.“

“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.“

“Was recommended to eat dinner here while in town. The atmosphere and vibe was very casual and chill. The staff and service was great and I did not feel rushed. I love the menu concepts of 1 protein for that day. The Caeser Salad was very well done. A great starter. For my Veggie dish I had the roasted carrots. Also very well balanced and presented. Then came the prime rib. Perfectly cooked and carved. I wish I could rate it a 4.5 instead of 4 because my only slight critism was that the meat needed a little more salt and some pepper. The jus was so well reduced and there was a lot on top and under the meat. Wish I would have had the pecan pie, but I was very full from the three coarses. Next time I will atleast ask for a piece of pie to go.“

“Simply delicious! Chef Eric runs an impressive kitchen. We loved each course. The bread was so crisp and soft and salty, yum. The tiramisu was delicate and rich at the same time. I only wish I were hungrier so I could have eaten more. It's worth all the times I tried and failed to get a reservation through Resy.

Oh and don't wear a white top. You will feel silly because that's the staff uniform.“

“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“

“Amazing Food!“

“We were originally headed to another restaurant but decided to stop here instead—and we’re so glad we did! The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. The young man who took care of us did an amazing job and made the experience even better.“

“Service was terrific, very helpful and attentive. Food was delicious. We shared the berbere chicken and shrimp bucatini with a side of the grilled zucchini. All were tasty. The wine was great. The cheesecake was fantastic.

Definitely recommend this place and will return next time we’re in town.“

“Visited Friday for the first time and had a great night. Mocktails were delicious. The atmosphere was fun but still mature and relaxing. The service was exemplary. Woman dj had a vibe set.. heads bobbing and shoulders swaying all night long. Highly recommend & definitely plan to return.“

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

“Diners like this restaurant's flavorful, creative, and seasonal farm-to-table dishes, especially the fry bread with pepperoni butter, and highlight the excellent cocktails and wine selection. They also mention the friendly, attentive staff and the upbeat, inviting atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Love the vibe, menu and service.“

“Our small gathering on the 6th of December was heavenly. This young lady was sweating and smiling so I had to photo her. The overall experience was great with Service and the Atmosphere was breath taking. The food was exceptional except the desserts were a little dis tasteful, but, I had eaten so much it could be my palate. This is one of the most pleasant experiences that I have been a part of in 2025. Please keep up the momentum. Happy Holidays.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Vibe, Always a Good Time My wife and I have been to Fellaship several times, and it never disappoints. The vibe is grown, professional, and perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a good cigar. Whether it’s a date night or just kicking back with the guys, this spot always hits the mark. Great atmosphere, great service—highly recommend!“

“Great food, great cocktail and amazing service. Hit "all the buttons" for us. We will return“

“OMG! After receiving exceptional service during our stay, I am convinced that the W in the W Hotel stands for Walter :o) From the time we arrived until the moment we left Walter greeted us with a welcome smile and the utmost hospitality. Rest assured, when we return to Atlanta this W Hotel is where we will stay! Of course no one succeeds alone and Lexus was a beautiful compliment to Walter's cheerful demeanor. Thank you both very much for the warm reception :o) - The Weiss Family“

“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.“

“Great place but they dropped the ball for Monday Night Football. I don't know if they had staffing issues or forgot that the Falcons were playing but just one floor open and only 3 bartenders made pre game a cluster.“

“It was fabulous!! Great food and atmosphere. Very good service.“

“I have loved Folk Art for so many years. I was delighted to learn of the Hapeville location. Great food. Friendly staff. Cool vibe. Welcoming. It would be a huge mistake to miss an opportunity to dine here or grab a drink.“

“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.“

“The blueberry lemon biscuit bites were absolutely amazing with just the right amount of crunch. Our server was phenomenal, and the food was delicious—I had the catfish & shrimp with grits.“

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

“I had never heard of this place, and the crazy part is I work just 13 minutes away. A coworker put me on and told me it’s popping on Tuesdays for karaoke, as well as on Fridays and Saturdays. I can’t speak for the other days, but I came on a Tuesday and the DJ and food were superb—with or without karaoke participants.

Shantel, our waitress, was beyond amazing. The whole spot had a low‑key vibe that was much needed after a long day. I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for a tension‑free Tuesday, Shantel. Ask for Shantel 😊😉“

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

“My friend and I just happened upon Sakura as we were exploring the Lee & White space and we are so glad we decided to stop in and chat up the bartender and owner, Nico. Nico guided us through a sake tasting consisting of three unique sakes starting with junmai ginjo, usu nigori, and ending with nigori. Our time with Nico was very fun and informative and we can’t wait to come back with friends and try more varieties!“

“Great experience for their Goodfellas theme. The food and cocktails were on point for each course. The service from the entire staff was phenomenal.

My favorites were the tuna tonnato, lobster tortellini, and tiramisu. My friend enjoyed all her courses as well.

All of the cocktails were amazing and so unique. The standouts were the funny how, cutty water, and no more shines.

We can’t wait to be back for their next theme.“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely no complaints. We were visiting from out of town and had a team event. The vibes were great, Lucas and the other servers were great. If you asked a question, they answered with no problem.

The food was awesome. The restrooms were clean.

I got the brisket tacos.“

“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“

“Food is absolutely DELICIOUS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🤎🤎“

“Went for the first time today and let me say it was a whole vibe, I’m just sad to say this place is right near my house and I just stumbled upon it today. The food was top notch, the music was great and the service was fantastic. I will definitely be back. Five stars ⭐️ loved it!“

“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!!!!!“

“Excellent food! Staff are all friendly!“

“A jewel of a spot! I happened upon Paper Plane while looking for a “family friendly” dinner spot on Friday. I was so pleasantly surprised when I peeped in for a sec. Well I was welcomed and shown around thinking it looked to Posh to bring a two year old, but the manager said “oh we’re family friendly here come on in”! So we dined on DELICIOUS food with many great Vegetarian options, and Sage the “ticky” toddler cleaned his plate, and had a ball playing in the outdoor space! Terrel provided excellent service for our family and out of town guest, I am a FAN!“

“Lumen is the lounge at Atlanta's Ritz Carlton. They've a tasty menu and amazing drinks. Most importantly, they've live music with great players such as Cooper Tisdale and Elaina Trent.

The sandwiches are the order of the day. The sliders and burgers are delicious. The drink menu is astonishing.

Wheelchair accessibility is easy.

Gluten-free folks will need to advise the waitstaff upon arrival and vegetarians will be fine.“

“We stopped in while walking on the Beltline and were just planning on getting something to drink (water). Looked at the menu and decided to try one thing. That turned into a few more things. I'll be thinking about (and craving) that delicious sandwich and mocktail until I go back. Delicious!“
