Bazati

Stopped by the host stand outside to ask a quick question as I was walking the Beltline. Walking up, I noticed the hostess was yelling loudly over the heads of seated patrons towards people on the Beltline to get customers to come try margaritas. I consider this to be fairly rude already and I wouldn't appreciate it if I were eating at this establishment. However, the other host said a rude, flippant comment to me when I was not even speaking to him. Both these staff members were young, so maybe they're inexperienced in food service. Regardless, staff members at the host stand are expected to be the face of any establishment as they're the first people customers interact with. If this experience was any indication of the level of service you would expect from dining at Bazati, I would stay away.

Weird thing #1: We made reservations to celebrate my friend's birthday two weeks in advance. When we arrived, the hostess didn't bother looking for our reservation and said we didn't have one. She told us we could go upstairs to the patio for drinks. We were confused. We got help from another employee, who found our reservation. We made a reservation for the patio, but for whatever reason, our table was taken. We could only sit inside. With all things COVID, this wasn't what we planned for, but we went with it anyways. We were seated and the hostess said "there must've been a misunderstanding" and walked away. Weird thing #2: When my friend wanted to place a drink order and asked what kind of tequila they offered, the waitress insisted that she walk over to the bar and find out for herself. We eventually got a list of options from her, ordered drinks, but they sat at the bar for a smooth 15 minutes in a somewhat empty dining room waiting to be delivered. The bartender did wave as he leaned over our drinks though. Awkward. Weird thing #3: After all was said and done, we wanted to go back upstairs to the patio for drinks after dinner. Mind you - we reserved a table. The restaurant treats the patio like a club and had bouncers at the steps. The bouncer told us we could not go upstairs because they were at capacity. While he says this, he lets 8 additional people walk up to the patio. Us, completely confused as to why he's allowing them to walk upstairs ask him, "well what about them?!" He proceeds to tell us they all ate dinner with the restaurant and had tables. SO DID WE...but sure, ok. After going back and forth with him for 10 minutes, he allows us to go upstairs (attitude and all). It's uncomfortable being an all Black party of 5 women treated as if we don't belong in the building. I wish the experience didn't feel like this as we really wanted to like this place - great location, pretty good food, overall, cute restaurant. But, if you look anything like me - go ahead and save your money. There's other great restaurants on the Beltline that will treat you kindly and provide excellent service - like Two Urban Licks right next door. I highly do not recommend.

It was another hot day July day so we decided to have an afternoon cocktail. We each had a nice house margarita together which we paired with guacamole and chips in the soothing shade. We will be back for a true dinner after our pandemic vaccination.

Went to this restaurant for some drinks. Adam, the bar manager, served us. His drink recommendations and also quality of drinks were delicious!! The drink changed from blue to purple. Also espresso martinis were so good!

I love what the owners have done here. The Brasserie is the full restaurant in Bazati that highlights French cuisine. The decor is beautiful with open spaces, dining tables, and comfy chairs near the bar where you can lounge. During the day lots of natural light floods the space through the tall glass windows and at night, the many light fixtures also brighten the space. I sat at one of the bars just to have an after-dinner drink, and ordered a glass of wine. Minus one star because the bartender was not knowledgeable at all about any of the wines on the list and was therefore not very helpful although friendly. I get that it was their opening night, but one would expect a bit more knowledge on the servers' part from an establishment of this caliber. That being said, I am looking forward to returning to try some of their food.

Wow!!! This place gets two stars for the nice interior and the bar man makes good drinks. The food is HORRIBLE!!!! I ordered a burger and my girl got the smoked salmon Benny. After 45min we asked how much longer would it be for the food. The restaurant was empty due to the coronavirus a lot of people weren't eating out. When we get our food smoked salmon Benedict came with no salad, no capers, no onions just the bun,salmon,egg. I asked where the rest of it was. They came back with a wilted salad. I had to ask again for the capers/onions. After the third item they forgot to add to the dish they decided to redo the whole plate. Second coming was decent but we were over it. I asked for a medium burger I got a dry very well done burger.What is obvious is NO ONE IS IN CHARGE. There is no manager who is really running the show. Even from the other pictures in other reviews you can see not much care is put into the food or presentation. Shame because the location is great. Only saving grace is the barman. Go for the drinks the food/cook are trash

Exceeded expectations! I read some previous reviews in advance after a client chose The Brasserie for a business dinner; I probably wouldn't have picked it based on those reviews -- but I couldn't object since the client chose the spot. :) But I'm happy to report that we had an overwhelmingly positive experience. Please don't let the previous reviews prevent you from trying this place. We started with the cheese plate and beef tartare. Although other reviews complained about the amount of cheese for the price, I thought the servings (3 big hunks) were quite generous. I had the duck confit served with roasted fingerling potatoes and duck jus. You can choose between 1 leg or 2. I got 2 because I thought maybe the portion would be small, but I probably would've been satisfied with just 1 -- there was a lot of meat on each leg. The duck was cooked really well, with crispy skin on the outside and tender on the inside. Only teensy-tiny complaint: it was a little too salty, at least in combo with the potatoes and jus. Other people in my party had the scallops, steak frites, and pork chop -- they were all pleased with their orders and finished each and every bite. We shared a trio of desserts: creme brulee, chocolate done two ways, and an apple torte. All were really lovely. The space is beautiful and service was generally warm and friendly. I'm giving 4 rather than 5 stars because of the salty, rather one-note nature of the duck confit and because I thought service at times was just a touch off from what I'd expect of a well-oiled machine (for example: our waitress asked a few people for drink orders but didn't ask others at the table if they wanted anything; the staff was quick to clear our plates from the shared plates even before the cheese was finished, but then there was a long pause before entrees were served).

This is a super cute restaurant with beautiful, classy, and vibrant decor. I was only there for dessert and coffee, but they have a full menu. They were out of coffee so it ended up being just dessert for us. We got creme brûlée which was creamy and sweet, but I was expecting more from a French restaurant. Other than it's a cute spot for a date and or just to hangout. There's even a store in the back with books and fabric to buy or just glance at. A little hard to find, but it's right next door to two urban licks on the BeltLine!

Enjoyed our time at The Brasserie. We were at New Realm next door for a drink then decided to go over to The Brasserie for dinner. The interior is very extravagant and wide open. It was also nicely decorated for the holidays. Rather waiting at a table we sat at one of their bars. I had a Stella to drink and ordered their Nicoise Salad. the salad has fresh greens, egg, green beans, juicy tomatoes, olives, potato confit, and topped with seared Tuna. I don't usually order something like this for dinner but I'm glad I did because It was super deliciousssss. I would like to go back soon to check out their other items on the menu. (We did notice their prices online are different then the prices at the restaurant).

I went out with my gal pals for a birthday dinner. I was really looking forward to the evening. However, the dinner was awful. The potatoes were undercooked, the service was bad, the manager got into an argument with one of the gals in our group because we wanted to get a refund on one of our awful plates. The brussels were full on burned.We just wanted to get a refund on the horrible plates we could not eat. The manager refused. I would not recommend this establishment for eating. The inside is beautiful...just wish the food matched it.
