This is a cute restaurant nearby the beltline that serves dinner and brunch on the weekend / lunch during the week. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so it's a good spot to grab food and drinks on a nice day. The food was pretty decent and it was a nice spot to hang out. There's plenty of parking out front. If you're walking from the beltline, you have to get off by Trader Joe's and walk around to get to the complex where this restaurant is located. read more

Apres Diem is a European inspired bistro serving drinks and food. Unfortunately, I was not seeing the European vibes in the food or restaurant. There is a good amount of seating inside and outside, but the service was slow. My friend and I got the Salmon Ciabatta and Bagel Sammy. My Bagel Sammy was very average. There was way too much egg on a thinly sliced bagel that it was difficult to take one full bite of the bagel. I did enjoy the aioli and wish there was more on it the bagel. I chose the jalapeño corn cheese grits as a side which was savory (other than the corn... I do not like corn but I like grits), but I wish I asked for salt and pepper for additional seasoning. Similarly, my friend agreed that her Salmon Ciabatta needed more sauce and to be less thick. Overall, I think that this place is average. There is better food for cheaper elsewhere. read more

Daisy our server was absolutely amazing! The Salmon Ciabatta is so delicious! The outdoor atmosphere is very pleasant.

Apres Diem was one of my go-to spots when I was in college (20+ years ago before yelp was a thing). It was a blast to revisit the quirky, beautiful space with a mix of in door and out-door seating. We were having a late lunch/early dinner. I enjoyed the rigatoni pasta packed with grilled chicken, smoked pork chorizo, broccoli, tomatoes and smothered in a white wine cream sauce. It's so fresh and full of flavor - just how I remembered it. We didn't order dessert, but I have fond memories of enjoying goodies from their expansive dessert display. read more

Just not impressed with my brunch. Service was subpar. Not terrible, and appreciate the lack of intrusiveness but it really took the server too long to green us, take our orders, check on us and bring our checks. I got a Prosecco drink with muddled raspberries which was very good, and a cup of coffee with almond milk which was also great coffee. However, good drinks alone cannot make up for food lacking in flavor. The huevos espaniola was good. It certainly was not bad, but I'd had a disappointing. Needed salt and pepper to make it taste better. The potatoes also needed some more seasoning. Couldn't had any bread since they had no gluten free options. Also disappointing but I knew that going in, so not killing them for that. All in all just a "meh" meal. read more

Apres Diem - Huevos Espanola. Good. Not really impressed though. Needed salt and pepper. Not shown is the biscuit which wasn't gluten free. - Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Listen to me carefully. Order every thing I got! I promise you!!!! You will be so happy. First off our waitress was hilarious! She was honest about dishes, gave recommendations, and kept us laughing the entire time. From my drink to the dessert- I enjoyed everything!!!! Please leave room for the cake. Drink- light, refreshing, strong. Appetizer- savory and acidic. Entree- perfectly balanced and stuff with seafood. Dessert- you will lick the plate clean. Seating outside was the perfect touch. A little people watching with a great meal. read more

Food good. An easy place to eat. I usually eat outdoors. I haven't eaten here in a long time so uncertain of any changes.

Always consistent and the mussels are always my favorite. Been coming here for many years. A gem in Atlanta. Great patio and delicious desserts. read more

My family member recommended this place as she has been here before. We arrived on a Wednesday night to find the parking lot to be nearly full since it is shared with the many other establishments in the plaza, plus is connected to the Beltline. Plenty of self-assigned seats to pick from either outside or inside. All the dishes were vibrantly presented with plenty of fresh and rich ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed my seafood linguine which came in a rich red sauce, different than traditional marina based sauce. My family enjoyed their Salad Nicoise which came with a few cuts of tuna cooked to your liking as well as the pork chop prepared to your temperature preference. We shared their Drummer chocolate cake based on the many cakes they had on display inside. It was deliciously sweet and layered along with the fresh whip cream on the side. Overall, I really enjoyed the food. My biggest concern however is that the portions are certainly on the smaller side for a more hefty price. Our waitress was phenomenal and the establishment is a very comfortable and almost European vibe. Would come again! read more

I've been coming to Apres Diem for close to 20 years, which makes this especially disappointing to write. On December 27, I came in alone around 9:00 p.m. and sat at the bar. The bar was about half empty. Despite that, I waited well over 30 minutes without any acknowledgment, no menu, no water, no greeting, while other guests who arrived after me were served. I tried more than once to get the bartender's attention and was ignored. His demeanor felt aggressive and hostile, not just toward me but toward others at the bar as well. What made this more concerning is that I had seen similar behavior from this same bartender toward a couple during a visit the week before, so this didn't feel like a one-off bad night. I chose not to make a scene. Instead, I left and called from the parking lot to speak with a manager, hoping to understand what had happened and resolve it privately. I was invited back to the courtyard, where a manager offered to place my original order. I decided to just order a single appetizer to go. I offered to pay, but my card was never taken. Later that night, I received a private Facebook message from someone identifying himself as the bartender, sent from a personal account. The message was hostile, profane, personally insulting, and included gender-based derogatory language, along with comments about avoiding him if I wanted to return. Regardless of any service issue, this kind of private, aggressive communication from an employee is completely unacceptable. It crossed a line and left me feeling harassed and unsafe. I sent a detailed complaint to ownership and management and followed up through email and social media. More than two weeks later, I have received no response at all. Service issues happen. What matters is how they're handled. Privately harassing a customer and then ignoring a serious complaint reflects a larger problem, and after so many years of being a loyal customer, the silence has been deeply disappointing. I'm sharing this so others, especially those dining alone, can make an informed decision. read more

We came for a fast drink at 10:30 PM and was told by the bartender that they aren't serving anyone else... but they close at 11.... As a bar manager from Dallas Tx myself that's disrespectful and honestly lazy. I have been in town for two days and leave a $100 trip everywhere I go because I respect my industry and this is not it. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch outside on the patio... Great service.. Good food.. The mussels was good, super big portions.. Small Caesar salad was just ok, i wasn't a fan of the dressing. The customer service was really good.. read more

I came here for a brunch after a corporate volunteer event. They were super accommodating with our large group and I liked the patio where we were seated. Parking is also easy with the large lot in the back of the Midtown Trader Joe's Plaza. We got some appetizers to share, including the phyllo-wrapped brie which was delicious! I had a mimosa which was good too. For my main, I had the Huevos Espanola. The scramble was good, but a little dry. The brunch potatoes and biscuit were also decent, nothing crazy. I tried some of the other dishes i.e. Salmon Benedict and I liked those a lot more! Overall, cute spot and great vibes, but I would want to come back to try something else. read more

Visited as part of the Amazing Co scavenger hunt around Atlanta. Our hunt said we should have two sandwiches, and we only got one. We brought it to their attention and even though Amazing Co had communicated one sandwich to Apres Diem, they immediately made sure we got two. Great customer service for doing that! Not only that, but the turkey sandwich was delicious. I usually don't like turkey sandwiches and they left me wanting to come back. Great job all around! read more

Simply the best little bistro in Atlanta, Apres Diem is my new neighborhood favorite. Perfect for any time of day, I've stopped in for lunch, dinner, an afternoon refresher, and after a movie, and have always had the best time at their spacious bar. Their dining rooms, patio, and lounge areas are warmly lit and decorated with funky local art, making for a refined yet casual and slightly retro vibe. The martinis and wine are outstanding and the food is better. On a more recent visit, I was wowed by their zippy and abundant Asian cabbage salad topped with perfectly seasoned grilled salmon, but their Mediterranean platter and goat cheese balls are equally as delicious. A spot to come back to again, the neighborhood is lucky to have this little corner of paradise. read more

We were here for a birthday party in the back room. Very friendly and efficient service. The handled 30 orders all different times, but delivered shortly after ordering. Never forgot any request. Great atmosphere for group in the back. Food was good. Mediterranean platter was a little bland although looked very nice. read more

I've always loved apre diem, especially the cocktails, The veggie sandwich was missing everything that made it appealing in the new digital photo menu. Bread and a stack of dry spinach is a pretty hard sandwich to choke down. Also, The online photo has hidden charges for what's pictured, just fyi. read more

Beautiful and delicious food and drinks. Dogs allowed on the outside edge of the exterior patio. Great place to get some sun and people watch. I like that they have brunch options but still allow you to get non-brunch things. Great mocktails too! read more

I ordered the salmon ciabatta which was yummy but messy. I was a little disappointed in the fries and regret not ordering the salmon farfalle instead. My friend ordered the rigatoni and said it was really good. I was disappointed in the piece of cake I chose. It was kind of dry and just not worth the cost or calories. The ambiance is nice and our waitress was very nice. read more

Apres Diem was such a cute vibe! My friends surprised me with dinner here and they were super accommodating to our large party and the service was great our whole meal. We got pretty much every app that had cheese which were all delicious and 10/10 scores on every entree ordered. This is a great spot for a nice date night, girls dinner or easy celebration with friends. It's also in a great location, close to Piedmont Park but away from all the Trader Joe's traffic. Lots of open parking and even other cool businesses right next door. So good! read more

I love this little European style restaurant. The service is great. The food is delicious and it's located near the Piedmont Park; in case you work up an appetite. I came here on Easter and surprisingly, they were open. To beat the crowd, I came early and had a seat outside since the weather was so nice. I didn't order a cocktail or dessert; just food. I got the Turkey sandwich with their soup of the day which was chicken tortilla. I usually get the salmon ciabatta but decided to order something new. I should've gotten an order of soup to go because it was that good. Super flavorful and fresh baked tortilla chips. The sandwich comes with slices of turkey breast, avocado, bacon on sourdough. I only ate one half of it since it is a sandwich and bread alone can be filling. I highly recommend this spot. It can easily become a neighborhood fav where everyone knows your name. read more

Went on a Saturday evening after a local concert. The waitress was very friendly and patient with our nice sized party. She made sure we ordered in a timely fashion before the kitchen closed. A member of our party had quite a bit to drink before they arrived. The waitress was very helpful in getting them coffee and hydrated. At that time of night, the spot was relatively quiet and and comfortable for us. The food was awesome as always. Hard to miss by going here! read more

I like this place. I actually came here for work lunches a couple of times and I like the food and ambience so later I got my husband here for a date night ;) I kid you not when I say the food is great. Delicious , I had the turkey burger cooked to perfection. The tuna tartar was nothing like I've had before. The flavors were nailed and my husband had the rigatoni, he seemed to like. Service was quick and friendly. I had the seasonal mulled wine, it was warm and spice flavored. Reminded us of some of the best winter drinks we had back at Leavenworth. The price point of this place was decent for date night. Go on, try it out! read more

My partner and I took a trip to the ATL and Apres Diem was suggested to me by my AirBnB host. So we came here for a get together with some local friends and we had a blast. Emma was our server and from word GO she was on point with the fantastic service and such a sweet disposition. (Btw, I did find my phone!!! YAY) We got a plethora of different types of food and everyone loved what they got. I particularly liked the cheesecake I got for dessert. It was sinfully large. Most of all I just loved the vibe of the place. There were so many different nooks and crannies to hang out in and although I loved the room we hung out in, there's one room that we didn't get to take advantage of. So I guess that means I've gotta come back...and I'll do so gladly!! Après Diem of course. read more

Great birthday dinner. Service could have been a little better but, its happening everywhere. The atmosphere was cool. We sat inside because outside was extremely packed.

One of our Favorite casual dining spots in the ATL. Well prepared food, and very attentive service. Consistent and Dependable!!

Love this restaurant and have been going for 25+ years. Laid back and a real chilled vibe. You can take your time and enjoy. Food is really good and very consistent. The Dessert Bar is wonderful and my favorite is the Strawberry Cake. The only challenge now is that the Plaza added only 2 hours free parking and note that your time starts when you drive in and your tag is read...not when you find a parking spot and scan to sign in. I received several charges $85 charges from Park Whiz for being 2 minutes late...the time it took to park and scan... this is not the fault of Apres Diem but the shady practices by the Plaza owners. read more

Went here on Friday evening 1/28/2022. I like they have an outdoor patio with heat. I finally made it! Been on my list of places for over 20 years. Yes 20 years. I must have tucked it away until my friend offered as a suggestion amd brought it back to the forefront. The patio area was a bit cozy. Not too many people out. The inside was not crowded and people were spaced out. Food ordered Salmon Farfalle and ceasar salad. Drink: Pear Moscow Mule. Salmon was cooked perfectly. Not dry and the whole dish was delectable and savory. It was so good that I was making myself sick because I didn't want to stop eating even though I was full. Oh yeah. Shaved Parmasean is the best and ciabiatta garlic bread ....yummy! The Pear Moscow Mule....that was a no go. I won't do that to myself again. I drank it though since someone else paid for it. I liked the Ceasars salad, but not the dressing. So next time I'll skip the dressing or try a different dressing. I look to return again sooner than later. read more

used to be one of my favorite restaurants but now you have to pay some bogus company to park in the almost vacant enormous lot and if you don't see the small sign indicating this, the company will illegally access your dmv records and send you a violation ticket in the mail. All these businesses in the area are fine with this stupidity. read more

This place only deserves two stars, and that's mainly due to its cute ambiance. The server was slow to bring our orders and frequently forgot items. When management arrived, they claimed that the server was seasoned and that were delaying our items to give us time to finish our appetizer, but we hadn't requested that. Even if that was the case, delaying it 45 minutes is excessive. We were on a tight schedule for lunch between meetings, so a more attentive staff would have been appreciated, especially since the restaurant was empty. The food was decent, but I had to take it to go because I didn't have time to eat it there. read more

Meh. Came here after dinner on Saturday night. Arrived around 9pm. No wait on the patio (or inside). We just came for coffee and dessert. They do have a robust dessert case you can peruse. But they are just average. Not bad, but I'm not sure they are worth the calories. Everything was a bit dry and a bit lacking in flavorful. Not bad. Not great. Just meh. read more

Came here for dinner on a quick trip to Atlanta and was not disappointed! The mussels were so delicious, especially the sauce that accompanied them; the portion size was also extremely generous (included fries). The two of us shared this very easily! The Phyllo-wrapped Brie was such a sweet & savory appetizer option, it would have even been a great delight dessert!

Me and my friend both ordered the Diem Omelette and split a waffle. I got a side of the jalapeño cheese grits.

I don't think they take reservations, but we got a seat immediately for brunch. The Ciao Bella drink was good, but too many muddled raspberries for us. read more
