Interior bar
Matthew N.

When traveling down south, the proper gentleman will quench his thirst and satiate his hunger at a steak house, perched on the second floor overlooking the street. Well we were not proper, but we decided to come anyway! It was a classy place with great service. The food was tasty, too. But it will be pricey and you will have small portions...still worth a visit if you are near the Ritz. Try the filet mignon and the house made peach sorbet! One of the most memorable aspects was hand selecting your own steak knife!

bone-in veal parmesan $48
Vic N.

Very disappointing overall. I had high hopes since it's advertised as fine dining. The place wasn't busy at 7pm on a Friday. The inside looked classy with dim lighting to set the mood. Unfortunately, service was a miss. Our server barely checked on us. Different staff dropped off our drinks and food so we never actually saw our server until the end of our meal. I ordered the bone-in veal, which was incredibly salty, from the breading to the cheese on top even the salad had actual salt grains I could chew. The tomato sauce on the side tasted like cheap canned pasta sauce. My friend's Antarctic salmon was a bit better but the prosciutto was dry and stale and didn't add anything. Maybe we picked the wrong dishes but the seasoning was so off that I couldn't enjoy my meal. Wouldn't recommend.

We were staying at the hotel and decided to have a team dinner here. Overall a very nice experience. The server was very attentive made aure we had everything we needed. He was well aware of the menu and the wine list. The food was very good and the restaurant has an old school steakhouse vibe. If back in ATL I would definitely stop by again.

Very disappointing, staying at hotel, came down for breakfast, after ordering, took 20 minutes to get orange juice for the kid. Took almost an hour to get food. The omelette is overcooked and but the eggs Benedict is pretty good. Just frustrating how slow the service is as you'd expect when you are paying 25 dollar for a omelette, the service should be on par.

Halibut with black truffles
Quin T.

We stayed at The Ritz for New Years Eve and while our stay at the hotel was as wonderful as one would expect for The Ritz brand, this was one of the most unpleasant dinner experiences. We were excited to acquire a reservation to celebrate NYE because we did not want to go out and we thought that was a good sign. It started with a phone call asking about a corkage fee.. we were told we could bring our own bottles of wine and that the fee was $35/bottle. No big deal as we were happy that bringing our own bottles was not an issue. We also confirmed with the hostess before she left for the day. It is important to note that a member of my party wrote down the name of both people that he spoke to. We were seated in The Distillery which was nice and sort of private as another party was seated next to us. We provided our waiter with three bottles of wine and before he poured our glasses, a manager approached my friend that made the reservation and instead of speaking to him outside, he spoke to him at the table in front of everyone. He explained that not only are you not allowed to bring bottles that they currently have on their list, but the max is only two bottles. We were told no such thing and furthermore, how are we to know what bottles a restaurant has on their menu in advance? My friend has Ambassador Titanium status and handled the situation very well by not only providing both names of the employees that we talked to but that neither person told us there was a max of bottles or provided us with a prior wine list. After everything, the manager agreed to let it go, as we were able to provide names and times of said conversations. To say his approach was tacky is putting it mildly. After the uncomfortable situation, we started with a seafood tower, that was lacking in so many ways, I can't even go into detail. We ordered the halibut with truffles, seafood fettuccine and the tomahawk steak medium rare. The halibut was delicious, the pasta was too al dente, but the seafood was good and the tomahawk was downright awful. Upon first presentation, our waiter sat down a well done steak with no explanation of the sauces that accompanied the steak. We had a word with him and it was sent back. The replacement was a rare steak. It was cooked on the outside, but the inside was so red, it looked almost raw and with food poisoning was on our minds, it too was sent back and we declined anything replacement. We dared to dine here for breakfast for two days and that is the only reason AG is getting two stars instead of one star. The AG breakfast sandwich with chicken apple sausage instead of Tasso ham was simply delicious as was the cinnamon brioche French toast, and both salmon and classic eggs benedicts were also very good.

Atlanta Peach
Chad M.

Exceptional experience. The atmosphere is classy but not pretentious, just a classic feel to it. Service was amazingly attentive but not intrusive--our server gave genuine recommendations that proved to be well-taken (no tack of just pushing some item they need to move like you unfortunately see at times). Of course, the fare is most important at any restaurant (though I'll definitely give or dock points for quality service and atmosphere). And the meal did not disappoint. Started with cocktails, including an exquisite smoked old fashioned prepared tableside--rich, deep flavor with the smoke giving the perfect accent as opposed to overpowering the drink. At our server's recommendation, I ordered the Berkshire pork chop special--one of the best chops I've had. Tender, well-seasoned, beautifully cooked...this needs to be on the menu. Most of my cohorts ordered steaks of various cuts (always a good move at a steakhouse...), and everyone raved about them. And don't skip dessert. I mean it, get one to go if you're out of room. We admittedly over-ordered a bit, but it was worth it. My person all favorite was the Atlanta Peach--a unique little dish, quite tasty (assuming peach flavor is something you're good with, of course). But all were excellent. I look forward to returning next time I'm in town.

Filet Mignon Macaroni And Cheese
chris k.

Wow! Amazing food was excellent steak was cooked perfect. Hands down some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had, steak had great flavor. Sat at the bar and service was great, loved the inside very calm feeling and warm, food was amazing, would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Oxtail tortellini and filthy martini
Maya K.

I came here for a work dinner with a colleague and it did not disappoint! We wanted a place to sit outside since the weather was perfect and the hostess was very nice and accommodating. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options which are all very nice and there is a nice bar seating area as well near the entrance. I ordered a filthy martini and it was made very well! The bread service is delicious and comes with a variety of delicious options. I ordered the oxtail tortellini with a side of Brussels sprouts. The tortellini was filled with so much flavor and the Brussels were sweet and savory. I recommend this spot for anyone who is in the area and looking for some delicious food!

Signature peach dessert
Valie K.

Tom was such a fabulous server from start to finish. The incredible hostess seated me in such a fantastic booth even though I was dining solo but plenty of space during an early dinner. Forever grateful to her!! Such a beautiful intimate setting and outstanding food and cocktails. Highly recommend the salmon and smoked old fashioned.

Fire Roasted Tomato Soup
Anthony G.

This review is based on dinner and breakfast. Breakfast & Dinner- Both times- We were just a walk in. Hostess was not very friendly in the night. Hostess in the morning was great and friendly. Both our waiters morning and night were nice and very good. Place is classy and very nice. Steak- was great (New York Strip) Fries- awesome Chicken- was tasteless Sweet potato purée- good but less than a portion for a baby. Bread - sour bread is fresh and nice Tomato Soup- my wife and I both disagree- whether or not it was good. So we give it a 4 out of 5 Breakfast Wife did French toast- that was really good I did the buffet- Pancakes were tasteless Cafe con Leche- outstanding Pastries- delicious Eggs- were just ok Bacon- very good Potatoes- very tasting Cereal- not very good- tasted old I have no pictures of breakfast, but a decent experience.

Grilled Chicken Breast
Briann R.

10/10. This is a premium restaurant attached to the Ritz, so of course the service is great and the ambiance is elevated. However the food doesn't have to be good and it most definitely was. The filet was cooked perfectly and the chicken was juicy and well paired. Bread varieties as served before the meal and I especially liked the cornbread

Caesar Salad
Carling L.

Great restaurant, lovely ambiance and service. Had the Caesar salad and added steak it was great and split French fries and the broccolini which were both good. The broccolini is not overdone and is served just with onions and seasoning which I liked. Ended with the warm brownie which was good but didn't blow me away. Would recommend this place

Ashly H.

Decided to have dinner here and really enjoyed every bite we took. This restaurant is inside the Ritz Carlton and it shows. Started with the Canadian oysters and crab claws and they were on point. Then we each had their burger and omg it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. Feel free to build it to your taste or order it as is. It's so tasty and I recommend medium. Service left nothing lacking and we are thankful for a great time.

I absolutely love this restaurant. They are always so welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice…read more It's great for business meetings or a romantic dinner. Making reservations is really simple via OpenTable. They have Valley parking which cost around eight dollars, but there is also a parking garage where you can pay by the hour. They have a pretty large dining room with an area for more private dining as well and they also have seating at the oyster bar. This is my fourth visit and each visit the food has been really good. For our appetizers we got my favorite the shrimp à la Plancha, but I did notice that the bread that comes with the dish has gotten significantly smaller. For dinner we had the fingerling potatoes, which I was not a fan of. They were pretty hard. I got the red fish for my entrée and we got the collard greens for our vegetable and the greens tasted amazing. My friend ordered the She Crab Soup and Fried Oysters and said they were both delicious. I missed out on the Peach cake (out of season) but they had Apple and I liked it.

We also enjoyed our cocktails. That old San Juan will put you underneath the table if you're not careful. (imagine an old-fashioned made with two types of rum). You can eat outdoors or in and the sound level isn't too loud all that's great, but the real star is the food. At our table, we had the spicy kale salad, fried oysters she crab soup, and blackened red fish. All of these dishes were expertly prepare prepared... but that black and red fish was a thing of beauty oh my gosh! Ridiculously delicious. If you're having trouble making up your mind, listen to me right now get the freaking blackened red fish, OK?! I almost forgot we also had dessert. Everyone except for me really loved that apple pudding cake. I thought it was just kind of a mess. But ohhhh, the Keylime pie!! A work of art! So very good.

The space is clean but not sterile: exposed brick, warm wood, and a bar that glows like it wants you to linger. *The food* skips the tired "burgers and mac" checklist. Think short rib agnolotti with smoked corn puree, charred broccolini with miso-garlic butter, and a fried chicken sandwich that somehow stays crisp under a jalapeño honey glaze. Portions are generous without being wasteful, and everything tastes intentional like the kitchen tested it 10 times before it hit the menu. *The cocktails are the real flex.* The menu changes seasonally, but the bar team leans into flavor over gimmicks. I tried the *Oaxacan Old Fashioned* with mezcal, mole bitters, and orange peel that's torched tableside. Smoky, slightly sweet, zero gimmick. My friend went for the *Cucumber Basil Gimlet* and said it tasted like summer in a glass. No sugary syrup bombs here. Bartenders actually explain what's in your drink if you ask, and they're good at steering you if you're unsure. Service hit the sweet spot between attentive and relaxed. Water refills showed up without hovering, and the server knew the menu well enough to call out what's spicy, what's rich, and what's worth splitting. It feels like a place locals will become regulars at, but it's good enough to bring out-of-town friends to. Creative without being precious, tasty without being safe. Sorry I didn't take pictures,

Questions about cross contamination with allergens were met with a blank stare and shoulder shrug. The DJ was great but the music was way too loud and made it hard to hear each other. 20% auto grat is included for all checks over $100 according to the menu, but it should say all parties or something similar as it's determined by what the table spends. This was even more annoying considering the lackluster service we received. He did remove the automatic gratuity from my check, but it was only $10 due to a special so I'm sure that was only accommodated since the tip was $2.

Stayed in Midtown for the weekend and wanted to find a great brunch spot without venturing too far…read more After hearing great things about 5Church, we decided to give it a try, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and were immediately greeted by a friendly host who seated us quickly. Our server was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our visit. To start, we ordered the Sushi Tots, PEI Mussels, and Arugula Salad. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and expertly prepared. For our entrées, we tried the Cacio e Pepe, Chicken and Waffles, 5Church Lamb Burger, and Hanger Steak. Every single dish exceeded expectations. The flavors were on point, the portions were satisfying, and there honestly wasn't a single item we would hesitate to order again.

I chose 5Church Midtown for a date because I expected it to be a nice, romantic dining experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but that. When we arrived, the restaurant appeared to have plenty of available seating and could not have had more than approximately 20 guests. Despite this, we were seated at the very back of the restaurant next to a curtain. After being seated, we waited about 20 minutes before anyone greeted us. We were eventually told that we had both a waiter and an assistant waiter. The assistant waiter never came to our table, and our waiter, who appeared to only have two other tables, was consistently nowhere to be found. It took another 15 minutes just to order drinks. When the drinks finally arrived, they were extremely sweet and did not taste as though they contained the alcohol they were supposed to have. We did not drink them and sent them back. Our waiter then told us they were out of the particular alcohol needed for the drinks. That immediately raised another question: Why serve us the drinks in the first place if you did not have the alcohol required to make them properly? We ordered different drinks, and unfortunately, those were not right either. This time, they tasted as though someone had simply poured an excessive amount of straight alcohol into them, with very little of the flavor the drinks were supposed to have. Then came the food. We ordered a pasta dish and a chicken dish, and it took approximately 45 minutes for the food to arrive. After waiting that long, the pasta was undercooked, while the chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. Getting our waiter's attention to address the food was another challenge. We finally caught him as he happened to be walking behind the curtain near our table. We explained our concerns, and he eventually brought over the night manager, Mary. Mary apologized for the drinks and initially offered to remove them from the bill. We then explained that the food was also not acceptable. At first, her response was essentially that she could take the drinks off. I finally asked, "Would you eat this?" At that point, the condition of the food, particularly how dry the chicken was, was obvious. What made the situation even more confusing was that we were then told that the waiter had gotten the drink situation wrong. Mary explained that she was also the bar manager and that they DID have the alcohol we had supposedly been told they were out of. She said she did not understand why the drinks had not been made correctly. Ultimately, Mary told us that she would comp the entire check and that we would not have to pay for anything, which I appreciated. However, she still brought us the check to show us what the bill would have been. After everything we had experienced--the long waits, poor service, incorrectly made drinks, undercooked pasta, and dry, overcooked chicken--I honestly did not understand the purpose of showing us how much the meal would have cost. It felt like adding insult to injury. I understand that every restaurant can have an off night. A mistake with a drink or a dish can happen. But this was not one isolated mistake. From the moment we were seated until the moment we left, there were problems with the service, drinks, food, communication, and overall handling of the experience. What was supposed to be a nice date night turned into an extremely disappointing dining experience. Unfortunately, based on what we experienced, I cannot see myself returning to 5Church Midtown.
