    We found Bistro Niko through Buckhead Life Restaurant Group. We love a French influenced restaurant and this was an amazing spot for a special dinner. I was celebrating end of birthday month and our server picked up on that and surprised us with a nice dessert. I had their special lobster pasta dish and hubby had the duck which was also delicious and tender. Service was spot on! We will definitely be back but will request outdoor seating as it can be quite loud inside near the bar. Beautiful restaurant!!

    French onion soup
    Steven D.

    It was pretty busy on a Sunday evening at 6pm. Bread service was nice. The butter was tasty and the bread was warm. I'm going to be real: The French onion soup was better than the one I had in Paris. It's cheesier and the broth was creamier and thicker. The wife doesn't love onions and I'm not a French Onion soup guy, but we couldn't stop eating this. The only thing I missed from Paris was the crunchy baguette. The coq au vin was excellent. The wife expected dry chicken breast with a tart wine sauce. The chicken fell off the bone and the mushrooms soaked up the delectable sauce. I had the steak and fries because I got the dinner special on the side of the menu. The steak was cooked a little less than my usual medium rare but that's ok. The butter sauce I got with it was good but not mind blowing. I wanted to immediately pass out after eating because the food is heavy. Service was great and noise levels were a little on the loud side. This fancy but not too fancy. Parking is $2 with valet - tip. Maybe just me though: I hate valet parking. Would I come here again? Maybe. French cuisine is not usually my first choice but there doesn't seem to be a ton of competition around the area.

    I stopped in on a whim for a quick bite. Walking I immediately felt relaxed. Very understated but elegant, but somehow still with a casual feel. I sat at the bar and was well taken care of. My crab cake was delicious along with my cheese puffs (I can't remember the name). My friend had the burger and really enjoyed. Outdoor there is a beautiful patio that felt very Parisian. I look forward to adding this spot to my foodie rotation!

    Lobster pasta special
    D.F. C.

    The food was very good... but not great. I was a little disappointed in the foie gras; well, the foie gras itself was delicious, the bread and preparation did not do much to bring out or compliment the flavor. The lobster pasta special was good, but the flavor of the sauce could have been developed a little more. Citrus tart was delicious. Our Server, Aaron, was fantastic. Very charming. Good recommendations. Personable. One major disappointment was we seated at a table directly next to a young child. When we were seated, there were a number of empty tables nearby. There was no reason to sit us directly next to the young kid.

    Wow. Perfect for Christmas time. Photo ops are everywhere!! The giant props/decor are soo cute. Wear something nice - perfect for family photos. Book ahead of time to reserve seating.

Pork belly app Escargot x3 Ahi tuna tartare Mussels Steak tartar Caesar salad Mushroom pizza Scallops Trout Burger Chocolat martini Creme brulee S E R V I C E Billy's service was quite lackluster. He was overconfident and seemed overwhelmed. We understood that its holiday season so its busier. He ignored us a few times (he told us later he saw us but was busy so i guess he decided to just overlook us) and I very much was not impressed with his communication skills (a quick - my apologies, give me a moment, let me xyz and ill be right with you - wouldve sufficed). He also tried memorizing our order but had to ask us several times to confirm (i dont care that you memorize. I care that the order is right lol) and then ended up overcharging us. He even told my friend "I told you to tell me if there's anything i'm missing". Rough.

    ‼PARKING‼ It may be cheaper to just use valet the lot itself it is $8 for the first hour. The waitress also suggested we use valet next time. I give it a 3.5-4 stars. The staff was amazing and very attentive and kind. We had Temicka she was amazing and very friendly and even gave us amazing recommendations on the food! The ambiance was so cute with all of the holiday decor I felt like I was walking into Santa's workshop! I absolutely loved all the nutcrackers and gingerbreads and lights everywhere! It was breathtaking! The food was really good too! We got escargot and mussels for appetizers and bread all very good! The main dishes we had were the duck, chicken breast, and steak dinner all of which were juicy and very flavorful! Then for dessert we had the lemon tarte and a puff pastry. We enjoyed the lemon tarte the best as it was paired with a mandarin ice cream! The puff pastry was a tad dry with the bread part and the ice cream filling was a little off putting with its almost lemon like zest. Overall the food was very good! The only remark I have is the utensils we were handed were dirty we were able to request new ones but that was one minus for me. Overall my experience was very enjoyable that I would come back in the future! If you're looking for a little night out with the girls this is the spot to catch up!

    Another stop on our french tour of the states. My partner and I try to visit in French restaurant in whatever city we are visiting. This was our stop while in ATL. The service, I think, should get special mention. They were all so lovely and attentive! Even servers that weren't taking care of us checked in frequently if we were okay or needed anything! For starters, we had the steak tartare and escargot. We enjoyed both but the escargot was the clear favorite of the table. The garlic butter and the puff pastry tops?! Couldn't get enough of those!l The steak tartare was nice fresh. The entree was the duck breast. This was pretty good as well. The citrus added an extra layer of intrigue on the palate. This entry into this unofficial contest puts ATL in the lead, I fear

    Had a fantastic lunch. The food was great and the atmosphere was even greater. This place is a whole vibe by itself.

    Profiteroles
    Joseph S.

    We were in Atlanta visiting family and met friends for brunch at Bistro Niko. It was a Saturday around noon, and there were only a few other diners. I ordered the Omelette au Fromage - I chose Gruyère cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes (please note the $3 charge for each item other than the cheese). The omelette was very fluffy and light, filled with a nice filling of cheese and veggies! The potatoes were also very good and the bread was as good as any French loaf I've had! We had the Profiteroles for dessert - a little disappointed, as you can see in the picture, no pastry shell! There was a small layer of pastry on the bottom and top of the dessert, but it was chewy, and not flaky and airy, as the pastry should be.

    Bread and butter
    Tia J.

    Went at the beginning of January for a visit to Atlanta and heard about the holiday pop-up at this place. It did NOT DISAPPOINT! The decorations were fabulous. I was seated promptly, and I had the nicest waitress. I got the omelette with duck fat fried potatoes, and everything tasted so good. Even the bread that they brought to the table with butter was amazing. I splurged and got a dessert which was vanilla ice cream with a brownie and fudge sauce. Everything about my entire meal felt warm and cozy. I would highly recommend to go here, especially during the holidays!

    So French. So cute. I'm obsessed. This Buckhead cafe is like a little escape to Paris but we're in Atlanta folks. I got the traditional tuna Niçoise salad, and I'm in love. Fresh, crisp, balanced and everything you want in a cafe lunch. Superb and friendly service. I can't get over the decor. Perfect spot to feel fancy without trying too hard. Tres chic. J'adore beaucoup.

    Bestie turned 40 and after a weekend of celebrating, it was time for the official Birthday Dinner. As my bestfriend is very picky, Bistro Niko was the restaurant of choice. Bistro Niko was very easy to find as it sits on the main strip. Parking is ample as there is Valet as well as Paid Lots. Walking into Bistro Niko, the ambiance is still. The noise level is minimum, the lighting is intimate, and the decor is eye-catching. As you get lost in the visual design, the use of space is perfect for the size and makes walking and navigating an ease. The table settings were pristine along with the service provided by Nicki, our server. Nicki greeted us with a huge smile, warm greeting, and an abundance of love and joy. Nicki truly took my Bistro Niko experience from a 10 to a 100. LoL!!! As we engaged in conversation, we placed our orders and everything flowed smoothly. From the delivery of the drinks, to the bread, to refills, and finally the food. Bistro Niko didn't skip a beat when it came to providing superior quality and Nicki matched the tone by providing superior customer service. I decided to order the Mushroom Burger and it was impeccable. The beef was high quality. The meat was well rested and the flavor profile shined alongside the mushroom encrustment and toasted bun. Though it was a burger, it was of such high quality that it can't be called a burger. It was a beef led foodtastic experience. Ha!! Once dinner concluded, the birthday song was executed and the night concluded. Bistro Niko was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Nicki was great. The manager who checked in on us was great. The food was great. The night was great. If you're in the area and wanting a great meal and experience, stop in for the Bistro Niko experience.

    Michelin Star Little Sparrow is one of those restaurants I look forward to whenever I'm back in…read moreAtlanta. It captures that wonderful Parisian brasserie feeling without trying too hard--the banquettes, heavy drapes, soft lighting, beautiful tableware and attentive service. Everything feels considered. And then there's the food. The menu is small, the prices are not, but they execute what they do exceptionally well. I was tucked into a beautiful banquette and taken care of by Keenan, who was lovely throughout dinner--warm, polished, knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. First things first: do not skip the bread service. The warm levain baguette arrives wrapped in Little Sparrow-branded paper with their gorgeous butter, EVOO and Maldon salt. It sounds simple. It isn't. That butter sitting in fragrant olive oil with those little pops of sea salt, smeared onto hot, crusty bread? Heaven. Sometimes the simplest things tell you everything you need to know about a kitchen. My usual order here is the chicken schnitzel, which I love, but I promised myself I would branch out. I ordered the Cabillaud Frites--cod with tartar sauce--and Little Sparrow's interpretation of fish and chips is anything but ordinary. The cod arrived as beautifully fried little rounds with a deeply golden, crisp exterior and tender, delicate fish inside. Hot, crunchy, moist, perfectly cooked. The house tartar sauce was delicious. And because apparently I needed more decadence, Keenan brought me garlic aioli for the frites. Yes, please. And those frites. Lordy. Crisp, deeply savory and dangerously easy to keep eating long after you've told yourself you're finished. Dip one into that garlic aioli and good luck stopping. I skipped cocktails this time because I was saving precious real estate for dessert. I usually order the chocolate soufflé, although I continue to wish they would rotate the soufflé flavors. Give me Grand Marnier! And at $22, that soufflé is definitely an investment in dessert theater. Instead, I took the coconut cake back to my hotel. Unfortunately, this was the one miss of the evening. It was overwhelmingly sweet and lacked the richness and complexity I expected from a kitchen operating at this level. It tasted surprisingly ordinary compared with everything that preceded it. I'd skip it next time and return to the soufflé. That small disappointment doesn't change how I feel about Little Sparrow. The dining room is beautiful. The service feels polished and gracious. Even the restrooms and little sitting area carry through the aesthetic. There is an attention to detail here that I appreciate--from the china and menus to the lighting and presentation. Little Sparrow isn't inexpensive, but I don't come here looking for inexpensive. I come because they take seemingly familiar French dishes, focus on technique and ingredients, and make them memorable. If you're anywhere near Atlanta's Westside or the Design District--or frankly, even if you're not--make the detour. Make a reservation, settle into a banquette, order the bread, and get some of that food in your face. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal.

    Solid food though could be a bit more adventurous and a true bistro…read more Service: when I ask for a recommendation, don't repeat the entire menu to me. Make recommendations.

It came w waaaaay too much tepid water and I'm glad I stopped the server from pouring bc it would've been as tasty and weak as a postage stamp. Who are these servers?

The food however, was good, but not necessarily great. (I should preface this by indicating that I am a huge southeast Asian food connoisseur.) While I understand that this establishment provides an elevated Vietnamese food experience-- as opposed to traditional fare-- I don't think that anything that I ate was very memorable. I dined here almost 3 weeks ago, we ordered three dishes to share (but I cannot remember one of them). The ceviche was nice, quite spicy for Vietnamese food. The fried snapper, which was $125 market price, wasn't my favorite. It literally just tasted like lightly fried fish. It would've been better if they were a little bit crispier and maybe sprinkled with tamarind salt or something to really boost the flavor. My favorite thing about my dinner experience was the tamarind cocktail that they had which was absolutely delicious. I think I will stick to happy hour if I'm ever in Atlanta again so that I can get the tamarind cocktail again.

The staff were friendly and familiar with the dishes and kitchen. The vibe was darker than most restaurants, perhaps good for dating but I would prefer a brighter dining room since I want to take photos of the dishes!

The cheek was very tender and meaty, the sauce was thick and flavorful, and the puree was rich and creamy. One of the best tapas I have ever tried. 2. Crudo. The version I had was erved with thinly sliced pickled butternut squash, herbs and orange infused oil. The flavor was savory, and slightly sweet and sour. The seared tuna was tender. Creative and tasty. 3. Smoked carrots. The version I had was served with orange yogurt and topped with pepper relish. It had both red and purple carrots, which provided different flavors. I also liked the idea of pairing creamy yogurt with the sweet & crunchy carrots. 4. Grilled oysters. Served with diced piquillo & onions over grilled Pan Cristal pieces. Savory and slightly sweet & sour. 5. Cordero. Grilled lamb chops served with harrissa, eggplant escabeche and smoked tomato puree. They grilled the chops, sliced the meat from the bone, then grilled the bone again, so that the sliced meat was quite tender, while the meat on the bone was quite crispy. The smoked tomato puree was smoky and paired well with the chops. The eggplant added some freshness to the dish. Plus, I really like the plating of this dish. 6. Grilled Branzino. This dish was priced by weight. About 1lb so shareable for two. The fish was butterflied and grilled until the skin (and even bones) were quite crispy. The sauce was refreshing and delicious as well. 7. Arroz Cremoso. Similar to risotto. At first it was too salty for me; my server asked the kitchen to remake it and the second one was good. The version I had contained three kinds of mushrooms, plus some broccolini, which made every bite surprising and exciting. Overall highly recommended. I will definitely return to try more dishes!

I'd happily return for lunch with family, a girls' gathering, business lunch, or a date. * Service: Truly top notch, especially if you're lucky enough to have Gordon as your server. He had the perfect balance of attentiveness, charm, and dry wit. The kind of service that elevates an already great meal. * Crab salad: I'm usually not much of a crab person, but this was excellent. Light, fresh, and with just a hint of sweetness from the passion fruit dressing. * Tuna tartare: Excellent. I was worried the sesame might be overpowering, but it was actually just a subtle hint that gave it a lovely Asian-inspired flavor profile. Delicious on the wonton. The knife work was a little clunky, but the taste more than made up for it. * Branzino: Light, perfectly cooked, and paired with a bright fennel salad. Simple and beautifully executed. * Le Croque Monsieur: A must if you're hungrier! Essentially a croque madame with a sunny-side-up egg on top... just wow. And the fries are perfection. * Chocolate mousse: Light and a lovely way to finish the meal. Almost like a little palate cleanser after lunch. * Wine: Great wine list. Naturally, we went with Sancerre because that's my go-to. And then Gordon took the experience to another level... My mom had brought a card for my husband and me that said "Happy Anniversary." We never mentioned it to anyone and kept it tucked away, but Gordon happened to notice it. When dessert arrived, he had chocolate syrup written to say "Happy Anniversary," complete with candle sparklers. We were completely caught off guard. That level of observation and thoughtfulness is what memorable hospitality looks like. I'll also acknowledge that I had some hesitation coming back. I had a reservation here a few years ago and was turned away because I was wearing jeans, which honestly left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Le Bilboquet is undeniably high-end and clearly makes an effort to curate its atmosphere and clientele, which I can respect, even if that particular experience was disappointing. After giving it another shot, I'm really glad I did. This lunch was lovely from start to finish. I also noticed several guests wearing jeans this time around, so perhaps the dress code has relaxed a bit. Bottom line: Refined, polished, excellent food and genuinely exceptional hospitality. If you've written Le Bilboquet off based on an old experience or some of the negative press over the years, I'd say it's worth giving another shot. I'm glad I did!

Served alongside fresh heirloom cherry tomatoes and tender green and wax beans, it felt light, fresh, and indulgent all at once. The service was impeccable--attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and wonderfully welcoming. If you're looking for authentic classic French bistro cuisine with an upscale, lively atmosphere in Atlanta, Le Bilboquet is a top-tier choice. Can't wait to come back!

    My friends and I enjoyed a Saturday morning brunch at Tiny Lou's. I've visited the restaurant for…read moredinner last year and the server told us to try the brunch. I'm so glad we did. When we arrived, the valet received our vehicle and let us know parking is $5 with validation from the restaurant. I was able to easily secure our reservation on open table. We were greeted by a very sweet hostess, who asked each person in our party about food allergies and put the notes in for the server. We were seated next to a sunny window and the server quickly welcomed us. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and even went and found some hot tea for me. We enjoyed all of our food and the portions were so generous that most of us took food home. We look forward to returning.

The ambiance feels elegant and is perfect for a date night or special occasion. Our server was very friendly and involved without being overbearing. We split the brioche bread service ($11) and French onion soup ($16). The bread was delicious and the soup was also, although I can understand some other reviews noting the broth is pretty salty. We also tried the bouillabaisse ($30), the grilled pork chop ($35), and couldn't resist a side of the truffle fries ($12) to share. I enjoyed the pork chop as well as the truffle fries, but we both felt the bouillabaisse was pretty bland and not seasoned very well. In general we really enjoyed Tiny Lou's and would like to return, as the menu often changes seasonally.

    We came here for brunch on a Sunday and had no issues getting a reservation the day of. That said…read morethe place was pretty full and there is a large patio area outside. We were seated inside right by where they plate the food so we got to see what some of the dishes looked like before ordering. We started with the cinnamon roll and it was huge! The equivalent to 3 huge individual cinnamon rolls, but stuck together to make a big one. It was really good too with a warm and soft middle and slightly crunchier outside rim. For my entree, I had the chicken chilaquiles. It was an incredible mixture with the egg on top and the spiciness level was perfect! The creme fraiche really up-leveled the dish. As for the service, decor, and ambiance, it was top notch. The ceilings are high and the interior is nicely furnished. The bar area has flowers over top and great for Instagram. Our server was knowledgable about the menu, kept our drinks full, and was patient with us. I'd love to come back for dinner as that menu looks great as well.

    Four of us dined before a show at the Byer. My first visit, very excited about it, as I'd read the…read morereviews. We were seated at 600, told the hostess and servers we need to be done by 715 at the latest. Everyone said no problem. Apparently that wasn't true. Service was incredibly slow from beginning to end. The food ranged from good (crab dip, grilled shrimp on the salads) and charcuterie board (which arrived at 720 so we barely got a nibble.) Both pasta dishes were completely overcooked and bland. Salads swimming in dressing and slightly limp. Drinks were slow. All of this and no one - not a server, not a manager - ever apologized or offered to make anything right. We are 4 easy-going adults, low maintenance and not hard to make happy when we dine out. This experience was unacceptable by any standard. Each couple ended up paying $122 bucks each for food that we could not eat - either because it wasn't edible or it arrived far too late. Pros: Patio seating is nice. Staff was pleasant even if service was not. I can't see us every returning.
