“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.“

“Went here for dinner. Everything we ate was so tasty (fried shrimp, trout, catch of the day, lamb burger). Except for the sweet breads which we didn't care for, but they took them off the bill which was considerate. The regular, more reasonably priced cocktails are excellent. The more premium cocktails are just straight booze though, not recommended, were too strong with no flavor or balance. But the standard cocktails were so refreshing.“

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

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

“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.“

“Management team is top tier. Trisha and Rhama (sp?) were phenomenal and amazing all the way around. Came here after a disappointing birthday dinner at Poor Calvin’s and they totally made up for it. Me and my gf loved the vibes, music, and attentiveness to our table all night. Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing Food!“

“Good food, creative cocktails, and excellent service. Banshee was a great dinner, it is a smaller space which i prefer to the more sprawling restaurants like optimist or two urban licks. The vibe is personal and it doesn't feel like you are on restaurant rails like with some of the bigger spots.

Food was excellent, the fry bread is fun and we had a tomato appetizer that was spectacular. Had the fish and a corn pasta dish for the mains which were also delicious.

The cocktails were creative and I enjoyed them, but my wife said they were a little lackluster, so make of that what you will. They have a full bar and their bartenders seemed knowledgeable.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.“

“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. ❤️“

“Love the vibe, menu and service.“

“What an amazing place! John T Edge put me on this place and it’s absolutely incredible. The place is smaller so make a reservation. From the minute you walk in, you can tell this place is special. They have some outdoor seating that resembles a European cafe but the best place to me is in the room with the kitchen. The smells, the ambiance, the decor all make for a wonderful vibe.

Their menu is small but boy does it pack a punch! I got the spicy vodka pasta and my wife got the one with spinach and mushrooms and I honestly don’t know which was better. They were both perfect! Then we all split a tiramisu and outside of Italy, it was one of the best that I’ve ever had.

Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a great neighborhood spot!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Such an incredible experience. Had the burrata (amazing), and me and my friend split the pasta bologanse (this was incredible i haven't stopped thinking ab it) & bucatini and shrimp (not my favorite, had a very nutty flavor but that's just my personal taste). We also got a creme brulee and after dinner drinks. The creme brulee had a thicker crust than I'm used to but it was still great, but omg that espresso martini may be the best i've ever had. It was so creamy and good. Overall a really amazing experience.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 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 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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Tiger Sun is, by far, one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. My son and I visited last Sunday, and I can honestly say every expectation was exceeded. From the moment we arrived, I was wowed in the best way possible. The food was absolutely amazing, the drinks were just as impressive, and the service made the experience even better.

One of my favorite touches happened before we even got on the bus. The staff took a photo of my son and me, and when I opened my tab at the end of the evening, they had included an AI-generated version of that photo showing us aged about 40 years. It was such a fun and unexpected surprise! It was the perfect way to end an already incredible evening and gave us a keepsake we'll always remember.

Every dollar was well spent, and I can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with amazing food, creative drinks, and thoughtful attention to detail, Tiger Sun is a must-visit!“

“Had an amazing time at ATL Hookah Lounge! Marco kept our hookah perfect all night, and Shantelle was so attentive and friendly. The manager was also incredibly professional and welcoming, stopping by our table to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, which really made the experience feel personal. The service from everyone was outstanding, the food is a 10/10 fasho and it’s definitely one of the reasons I’ll be coming back. If you’re looking for a great atmosphere and people who truly take care of their guests, this is the place to be!“

“Niko is a wizard who crafts cocktails from flavors unique to Japan. Every drink is masterfully crafted with great attention to detail and spirit; perfectly blending Japan's finest fungal fermentations and distillations into one-of-a-kind drink experience. You need to meet this master and let him show you his craft!“

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

“My home away from home 🖤🖤🖤“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“No Mas! Cantina was a pleasant surprise when it came to the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. After some less-than-stellar service elsewhere during our Atlanta trip, it definitely stood out.

The food, though, was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either, especially for the price. Like so many restaurants in Atlanta these days, it felt overpriced for what you actually get. The atmosphere and service were the highlights of the experience.

Overall, I'd come back for the hospitality alone, but I'd love to see the food better match both the prices and the quality of the service.“

“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.“

“Food is absolutely DELICIOUS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🤎🤎“

“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!!!!!“

“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!“

“Service anywhere nowadays is pretty hit or miss (usually a miss) but came here the other night and had one of the best bar experiences I’ve had in a long time. Shane was our bartender and absolutely nailed it. Super attentive, easy to talk to, and the drinks were literal perfection. Definitely coming back.“

“Excellent food! Staff are all friendly!“

“great vibe. no judgement.“

“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.“

“Buteco has become one of my favorite local spots. Whether I'm stopping in for a coffee or grabbing a quick bite to eat, it's always a convenient and enjoyable experience. The setup is unique. You order at the bar and pick up your food from the truck outside, which adds to the casual, laid-back atmosphere.

The menu has a great variety of options, so there's usually something for everyone, and everything I've tried has been consistently good. The staff is always friendly and approachable as well.

My only minor criticism is that the service can feel a bit standoffish at times. Everyone is polite and helpful, but it rarely feels like they're excited to see you walk through the door.

Overall, Buteco is a great neighborhood spot with good food, good coffee, and a unique vibe that's worth checking out.“

“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!“

“We decided to check out Virgil’s on the spur of the moment while we were in Atlanta… from us entering the door, manager Nassier made us feel welcome and thoroughly explained the menu. Once we were seated our waiter Brandon did an exceptional job taking our order and keeping our glasses full… the atmosphere was great and it experience was like none other…I can say this was one of the best if not the best dining experiences…“
