Yakitori Kona

★★★★☆ 4.2 (16)

"Great experience here trying the Yakitori tasting which included one of each of the meats and veggies and a dessert one for 9 total plus a salad and rice pilaf for $65. We had one each and it was def enough food. We like the chicken a lot, steak was just ok {maybe bc we prefer med rare and having well cooked in general just wasn't our jam} , lobster was a large piece tempura style and super yummy. Veggies were all awesome. We didn't need our shishedo pepper app since they were part of the veggies skewers oops lol. Mushroom and squash and also tomato were all so good. The tuna ball app was huge and came with crispy wonton chips -also very good. Service was outstanding. Our server was so helpful and made great recommendations and points to help up select our food and accommodate our toddler and his food. We got the kiddo two chicken skewers {sans onions } and some rice. Ambience was a bit different than expected--but it matched the VaHi vibe and felt a bit more low key and casual than the Kinji other spots {kinji room MF} Doors open to the street, which is inviting however we got a whiff of smoke while eating since the spot is pretty quaint and has a clear view to outside. Some tables out on the street, bar seating, and table/booth options as well. Overall def worth checking out and pretty awesome if you are trying to eat clean and simple."

JINYA Ramen Bar - Poncey Highland

★★★★☆ 4 (122) • $$

"Jinya is consistent and solid ramen. I really appreciate the customization options provided. I like the Poney Highland location, there is ample parking and on a Thursday night there was little to no wait. As we approached, we saw a party wrapping up on the patio and it was a lovely day outside. I mentioned to the host that we wanted to sit outside, he wasn't rude but did try to dissuade us from waiting.My party of 2 order the crispy tuna and one jinya bun and 2 bowls of ramen. The ramen came out before the small plates. I hate when that happens but such is life. The Black ramen hit the spot and the chicken wonton ramen with hot sauce literally warmed my soul. The jinya bun was a miss... idk if it was the large amount of mayo or I've had inauthentic buns but they were a hard no. Thick pork belly...really fluffy bao, and ransom mixed greens. The crispy rice and tuna was spot on. There is a limited drink menu like 4 cocktails, a decent assortment of sake, a few beers, wines, and non alcoholic beverages. All in all it's a good for a weeknight. Probably one of the best ramen at this price point in the city. Is it as good as ramen in Japan... nah but it scratches my western itch."

"We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering the building. I believe the host name was Jessica or Jennifer. Unfortunately I for not recall but her service was exceptional. I have shared pics of the menu. Pricing was fair. Whenever I first visit lounges and they offer wings I will try them. The wings we're large however I definitely prefer the smaller ones. The shrimp poboy was good too. The good was definitely hot when it arrived to the table. The only downside was I simply wanted a cup of water but you have to purchase a bottle of fiji water for $4. Before leaving we had the opportunity to try a hookah. The ambiance of the place was nice. Open floor plan but intimate at the same time. They dimmed the lights right before I was leaving. The restroom was exceptionally large, very clean with a lot of natural light. There is no alcohol served. Great after hours spot for sure. Great food options on the menu."

"I found this place in Seated, and if you don't know what that is, I would highly recommend you checking it out for discounts here and other great restaurants in Atlanta...Use my link below to sign up and you'll get a $10 bonus after your first meal (and I'll get $10)!https://seated.app.link/QqvwwlETnhb. Referral code jon1154. This place has a great discount on there and we got a tremendous discount here.Aside from that, the food and service was excellent and kept us coming back! The mussels are a MUST. The portion is huge and the sauce is amazing. Even my 2 and 4 year old loved it. I keep coming back for that alone. I also have ordered the whole fish zambrano which was very tasty as well and came with hearts of palm which I enjoyed a lot too. On the service side, I have never had a bad experience, and the staff has loved my little girls. Really positive experience every time!"

"This is a nice spot in Sandy Springs, great décor with indoor and outdoor seating and free parking. The staff was friendly, we just had their small plates. The Brussel sprouts I wasn't a fan of them they didn't have much flavor. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the cilantro lime chicken skewers."

"What a fantastic venue!!Atmosphere was hoppin, trendy, open, and hip, the food was some of the best I have ever eaten, bold, artisan, and full of fantastic combinations, however you are going to pay for what you get... it is on the high side.Our service was outstanding... we never wanted for anything and they didn't hover. The place was full and rockin, but somehow they managed to come around just enough.We started with chips and salsa like any Mexican Food place but the salsa was AMAZING! The right combination of heat, flavored, freshness, and consistency. It was a sign of good things to come!Then we had an appetizer of the Tostada pork belly. Seriously.. OOOH MY GODDIE... IT WAS SO AMAZINGLY TOO HOTTIE! A symphony in my mouth of the best combinations of flavors I have ever had. This might be the singularly most delicious dish I have ever eaten. The flavors exploded with ecstasy as I chewed. If for no other reason you have to come and try this!After this I thought that the main meals would fall short. There was no way that anything else could come close. They proved me wrong. Everything was outstanding. What a find... a truly spectacular meal in every way! Yes it is pricey, but it delivers out of this world food!"

Negril ATL

★★★★☆ 3.5 (1413) • $$

"Upon arrival, at approximately 12:10 pm, the restaurant wasn't ready to seat anyone. We were then told by our server that they were out of a number of items on the menu. Seemed odd considering they just opened for the day.Food was hit and miss. I ordered the Jerk Salmon with mixed vegetables. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the jerk sauce was great. However, the mixed vegetables had no seasoning and the mashed sweet potato also had no seasoning."

Gather

★★★★★ 4.5 (57) • $$

"A friend and I were planning to visit Oakland Cemetery (just across Memorial Drive from the café) for a scavenger hunt. We opted to meet here beforehand for lunch. We had planned to park in the cemetery's parking lot, but there was some road race which restricted access to the north side of Memorial Drive. Hence, we ended up parking on-street a block south and a few blocks over from the café. The market itself has a small lot, but it seemed mostly geared towards market patrons. I *assume* you could park there while you grabbed a meal at the café also. The lot seemed to fill up quickly, though.We met there at around 11:20 a.m. on a Sunday. you enter the market from the side doors (i.e., not those facing Memorial Drive). To your left is the café area. A line forms to order at a counter. There are menus available in a basket for you to peruse while in line. It was at this point that we discovered that breakfast was still in progress. Lunch didn't begin until noon. We opted to do the first zone of our scavenger hunt and return. We got back just after noon. Ordering was quick, though we somehow did not end up with a little metal table-# tag. One of the entrees arrived fairly quickly but mine seemed to take longer for some reason. They managed to find us even without our table # displayed. The staff seemed friendly enough. I had ordered a BLT and a side of fries. The volume of fries was larger than I expected, actually, but they were good. The BLT was fine. I found the bread a bit odd - it was not dark but tasted a bit of rye. To me, that wouldn't be the standard first choice for BLT bread, but it wasn't bad. I don't think I underwent a full conversion to being a BLT-on-rye guy, though. At the end, you bus your table and drop off plastic trays over at a station near the drink machine. Prices were fair. Overall, this is a good option if you aren't looking for a particularly heavy meal (as you might get in some of the other restaurants facing Oakland). I'd consider a follow-up visit."

Urban Hai

"This place has outstanding reviews but it just didn't do it for me.I called ahead of time to place an order for take-out. I should not have done that because it only took 10 minutes to prepare my meal but 20 minutes for me to get there. You will need to park in a parking garage and walk over. The venue validates parking so this will not be an extra charge. The place is spacious and looks extremely nice on the inside. I ordered the Half Pekking Roasted Duck. It comes with two duck soups, bowl of green veggies, some oyster sauce, and wraps. Everything tastes extremely fresh and look great. The duck is not seasoned at all. Nice dish but much more expensive than what it is worth."

Hawkers Asian Street Food - Atlanta

★★★★☆ 4 (671) • $$

"Thank god another great restaurant to rescue me. I find most of the beltline places to be mid but they have been on the up and up!! Came with a group of 4 on a Frida evening and we had to wait about 45 minutes! Upon sitting we ordered some drinks. I got the frozen dragon fruit one which was delicious. Then for dinner we share a bunch of plates. Pad Thai, the dumplings, roti and crispy tofu. If was all absolutely excellent and we had some leftovers still!Service was nice and the inside is gorgeous. Would recommend sitting outside if you want to talk more as it is a tad loud. Overall 10/10!"

Prefecture Japanese Steakhouse

★★★★★ 4.6 (38)

"Came to Prefecture on my wife's birthday and were happy to dine at such a fine establishment in Atlanta. Our waiter was kind and made good recommendations and he suggested to us to go to with the Omakase menu but my wife and I opted for the Tapas and Small plates dishes. We ordered 7 dishes from there and felt happy with our choice. The cocktails were excellent and the seafood and wagyu dishes were wonderful. Since we didn't go with the Omakase meal I can't speak for the quality of that but the small dishes we ordered were all wonderful and full of flavor and quality.Our waiter gave us detailed descriptions of each dish and drinks we ordered and helped bring the meal together and made for a comfortable and well narrated meal. Don't think you can go wrong with any of the food options off the tapas menu and the drinks we ordered were all excellent.The ambiance of the restaurant is high class and a feeling of luxury and a well pampered meal and great for a special occasion as the prices were a bit high but well deservedly so. We came a bit early as our reservation was before 6 and had time to take some pictures in the restaurant which was nice. With regards to parking, we self parked in a covered parking lot directly adjacent to the entrance of Prefecture and while it is not officially Prefecture's parking lot, we were told it was fine to park there.Overall, my wife and I give Prefecture 5 stars and recommend them for a special occasion and give two thumbs up.Thank you!"

JINYA Ramen Bar - Duluth

"Parking right in the front with no wait! This place is bigger than it appears from the outside. Very clean and bright. Our server was Mindy and she was excellent! Very knowledgeable about the menu plus she had worked at our regular place a few years back so she could lead us to our favorites and boy did she! We got the original Tonkatsu pork with an extra egg (which were absolutely perfect) plus Mindy brought us their spicy sauce to liven it up to each of our tastes. My friend did one container and I ended up using 2 which made the broth so rich and just the right level of heat for me. This place was a great new ramen restaurant for us! Of course we will be back!"

The Argonaut

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"Let me tell you, your girl LOVES some fresh seafood so I was too excited to check this new neighborhood spot out! Sat at the bar and ordered the Kirkwood Kiwi Margarita and the Georgia Peach to drink and the Shrimp & Lobster Roll to eat. The Kirkwood Kiwi Margarita was sooo good! I was pleasantly surprised at how light, fresh, and delicious the flavors were and I could actually taste the liquor (tequila) which was a plus for me when I'm drinking cocktails. The Georgia Peach was very well-balanced and I would absolutely order it again. The Shrimp & Lobster Roll came with "House Chips" and while I was expecting some regular potato chips, these were hand cut thinly sliced pieces of actual potatoes and were pretty good. The Shrimp & Lobster Roll was also tasty and I had no real complaints. My bartenders, Ava and Jasmine were super friendly and amazing! Overall, I had a good first experience at this spot and I look forward to coming back and trying some other items on the menu."

Two Birds Taphouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (431) • $$

"A fun gastropub with (at least currently) a Harry Poetter theme going on which is fun, too. I came here because I was late getting into Marietta after the Atlanta United vs Montreal soccer match and not too many places on a Wednesday night were still open for dinner--but Two Birds was. The food selection is not vast, but seemed to have enough tried and true options (burgers, pizzas, salads) to please most everyone. I had a salad with grilled chicken added and it was quite good--not fancy, not especially innovative, pretty much exactly as expected but quality ingredients and came out quickly. I didn't try any beer or other drinks, just water, so can't speak to that but good service, good, food, and cool place."

Gypsy Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1044) • $$

"What a beautiful restaurant. You arrive via elevator (stairs, if you'd like) and I felt like I was being led into a little slice of Atlanta paradise. We had a reso and I accidentally had made it for a patio table but it was hot, so I asked if we could sit inside instead. Believe me, every inch of me yearned to be out on that patio and I can only imagine how sublime it would be on a less brutal day.Inside is spacious with soaring ceilings and wood accents everywhere. Atlanta is one of those cities that boasts incredibly huge restaurants, a nice surprise for someone used to restaurants in NYC and New Orleans. Therefore, ideal for groups, but also not bad for couples on a date night. The acoustics aren't terrible so you can hear each other (when did I become old?)They have two kinds of sangria, red and rosé. I went with the red, expecting something slighly sweet and spicy. Unfortunately it was neither, a little shocking at a Spanish tapas place. It was so overwhelmingly sweet, I couldn't really recognize what I was drinking. Honestly, there's not much for vegans here. I appreciate that they note on the menu what is vegan (just the hummus) and I asked if the salad could be made vegan by leaving off the ricotta. That's literally it, which is a little disappointing in a tapas restaurant.The hummus is good, but I didn't realize it would be smothered in a chimichurri sauce which was too garlicky for me (not that it wasn't delicious but my stomach cannot tolerate a ton of garlic unfortunately). The salad is a sight to behold, overflowing with gorgeous butter leaf lettuce. There might be an entire head on there. It's lightly dressed with a shallot vinaigrette and tossed in with radish and Jerusalem cucumbers. Too much of the former and not enough of the latter. I thought I had seen that black olives were a part of the salad, but when I asked our server she said it's a puree at the bottom of the salad. It was such a tiny amount, I didn't notice so that was a little disappointing.While I wasn't in love with my food nor my sangria, I need to mention how nice the staff is here, from hostesses to our servers.Beautiful ambiance and excellent service go a long way in my book. I feel like this is a great restaurant for non vegans. I'm still perplexed about that sangria, though."

"I have seen this place get plenty of good reviews and decided to test this place out myself. This place lives up to its name. Good food, great atmosphere, nice service, and the decorations are one of a kind.I ordered the One Night in Bangkok sushi roll. Unique sushi roll that tasted great. I also order the Drunken Man Noodle Chicken dish. Tasted good but nothing special. The decorations are amazing and the service is decent. Pretty good date spot."

The Office Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (60)

"This is a step above a hotel bar-much more spacious with a bit more attention to the aesthetic than some hotel bars toss out there. I had the opportunity to visit recently for a business get together and we found the space very accommodating of our group of about 30 people. If you're staying at the Epicurean it's an easy walk across the parking entrance. If you're visiting from anywhere else, you can either park nearby or valet. Either option is pretty manageable."

Saltwood Charcuterie & Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (101)

"Day 1, the hostess abandoned a line of 7 people. A seperate hostess returned to advise patrons waiting it would take 35-40 for our food. Why you ask...no clue. It was a terrible way to start the morning breakfast experience. Day 2 was much better. Pleasant, prompt service along with an enjoyable breakfast. Saltwood is located inside Loews Hotel, offers a full restaurant as well as bar area dining experience. For breakfast:Gluten free English muffin, fresh fruit, coffee, healthy cold pressed juice, sliced avocado. All a la carte per my request & I appreciated that. At the bar the service was stellar. Peter does an awesome job remembering guests, drinks and working the room efficiently if not for him this rating would definitely be a sokid 3. I tried fried avocado for the first time...interesting combination; decent but didn't knock my socks off. The side salad was satisfying. In-room dining offered a tomato soup that was pretty good. Signature cocktails & champagne did not disappoint. Oh, the bar nuts are roasted in-house upon requests; nice touch. ~Christy"

Slush Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (267)

"Decided to come to Slush for a Sunday Funday. We snowed up at around 3pm and the vibes were amazing! Whoever was the DJ that day definitely did it's thing. It is a very loud environment so don't think you're showing up to have an intimate conversation. This is the place to laugh, drink, and eat. Everyone around was so lively and energetic that it made the experience worthwhile.I ordered the shrimp and grits and was very impressed! Most of the time, lounges don't really hit the mark with food but the shrimp and grits was great. There was an ample amount of shrimp and the portion size was hefty. I ate about half before I tapped out. If we weren't planning on going to another location after I definitely would've taken a to go box. The menu was also very seafood friendly which I loved cause I'm a newfound pescatarian but if you're someone who doesn't eat seafood I'd recommend eating at home unless you're a fan of chicken and waffles.I ordered a mixture of Social Butterfly and Democratic Party after trying both (love that about Slush! You can try the flavors before ordering!) and it was 10/10! For both mixed I believe it was about $20 which for the size and the alcohol content I definitely think was feasible. I drank one and definitely feeling it, but that's on me for mixing tequila and rum Shrimp & Grits $16Slush Democratic Party & Social Butterfly $20-22TOTAL $45Overall, I will definitely be coming back! Looking forward to trying the lobster and waffles!"

"Atlanta is a low key ramen town. The goal isn't to find the best ramen as it is to find, "what does this ramen store do best?"Come get the lobster ramen. It's the buttery lobster broth that makes this amazing! You won't be disappointed. Also try the fried edamame in truffle oil."

"We went for brunch on Mother's Day. They were serving their regular menu and we had the brunch items. My kids shared the French toast which was perfect for them. We almost offered 2 separate plates but luckily the server said that it's big enough for them to share. They each had a piece of French toast. The Shakshuka was amazing and the bread that came on the side for dipping was delicious. My husband was jealous of my order because it was the best! The place is not as big as I thought but it's still really pretty inside. It wasn't too loud either. They do have street lot but if there's no room there's a parking deck. Overall it was great!"

From the charcuterie board to the pan con tomate, empanadas, patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo, mushroom ravioli, steak, and churros, everything was 5 stars. I highly recommend this place."

Vanity Restaurant And Bar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (26)

"I honestly don't know what to make of this place. It was next to my hotel and the beautiful exterior drew me in.When I got inside, it felt like a night club. It was super dark and I was carded and then told to sit anywhere so I sat at the bar. I ordered some steak bites and some fries. My server forgot to put the order for the fries in so I only got the steak bites and they were really tasty! However, they gave me disposable silverware to eat the steak with, which felt a little odd.I wouldn't say go and I wouldn't say not go - just check it out for yourself. Making a reservation is seemingly unnecessary but easy through the yelp app.Also, be warned: this is also a hookah lounge so it goes have that fruity smoke scent to it."

"My brother and our group of friends came here for lunch today to escape the heat from walking around the Virginia Highlands arts festival.It was a first visit for all of us.The entrance has a nice bar area plus there is indoor and outdoor dining towards the back of the restaurant. We chose a table inside for a break from the heat.Everyone was super friendly and efficient. The menu had a great selection of food to please everyone and featured tapas for sharing as well as traditional main dishes. In addition they had four brunch specials served from noon until 4pm.Our group ordered a variety of items including the blackened shrimp tostada, the pork carnitas, the Peruvian chicken tacos in both corn tortillas and in lettuce wraps. We also ordered the mimosas and vinho verde white wine from Portugal. For dessert we ordered the tres leches cake and the churros. We finished with coffee.Food and service were outstanding! My one quibble was the lack of any vegan coffee creamer. They didn't have any oat milk or almond milk just traditional creamer or milk. I love this place and it's convenient to my office so I'm excited to come back and dine here again after work!"

It wasn't packed, but definitely a steady stream of customers.There is a long community table that multiple parties can seat themselves, which I loved. My group was 4 people and we ordered a nice variety of tapas.I appreciated the South American influences with arepas and empanadas. They also have a nice cocktail and wine/spirits list.I enjoyed my food. Our server was slow, but sweet. Overall it's a solid choice for drinks, dates, dinner."

"Where do I begin!! From the great men at valet, to my server Asia, the manager Grace, I can keep going. Came in for my birthday dinner (didn't disclose introvert) all the service was great. This is a tapas menu which I adore because you get to try a bit of everything. We ordered so many things and there was nothing I can say that was bad. Asia our server can we just give a hand clap the absolute best service since I've been in Atlanta. The decor was a great mix of masculine feminine energy. Everyone can vibe here. MCK has a new regular from me from this visit for sure. My daughter was a bit cold and Asia came with the MCK blanket and that sealed the deal. Grace came right on time to check in as managers should. The playlist was great and the music wasn't so loud we couldn't enjoy our dinner conversation (IYKYK)."

I guess that was ok, but there were not enough cards or markers to go around.....so not sure why everyone was charged.The food is decent, nothing particularly amazing. I expected more wow factor. The space is small but cute. Nice for a date night. I love tapas because I can try multiple things, but these small plates are entree prices, so it didnt really make sense for me."

I more than likely will try this place again due to the fact it was more than I expected and curious to try other dishes on the menu."
