What a phenomenal meal the experience is very private and intimate. The chefs are awesome the food was top notch. NA people this is your place the pairings were off the charts and very much worth the money. We were NA for dry January and started a week late so went an extra week, we will definitely be back when there's a menu change. What you get for your money is an extreme value all things considered.

This is one of the coolest restaurant experiences I have had in Atlanta. My previous favorite was gunshow but this really gave it a run for its money. You get to watch the chefs put together each dish and then they come explain their inspiration for the dish. This was my favorite part because they created some crazy combinations of flavors I had never heard of before. It's located inside hop city so it's really laid back vibe where you can go grab a beer or you can bring in your own wine for a $20 corkage fee. For such high scale food, it is so cool that they are this laid back. I would highly recommend adding on the oysters and the intermezzo. We got half dozen oysters and they let us split half raw and half baked option which was awesome. They change the menu weekly so you can always go back and have a brand new flavor experience. I can't wait to see what the crazy geniuses come up with next time we go.

Food was amazing. Service was great. The lack of cocktails at a restaurant of this caliber was a huge disappointment. Part of the dining experience is high quality craft cocktails to go with the high quality food. Instead your option is to go next door to a brewery and get a mediocre cocktail in a plastic cup. It really diminished the overall experience. Having said that, if cocktails aren't your thing, I 100% recommend this spot. The atmosphere was very cool. It's more relaxed than many of the other chefs tasting restaurants like Georgia Boy or Lazy Betty, which is nice to have the option when you don't want to go fancy.

Out-of-this-world, unique, culinary experience!!!!! Chefs did a fantastic job intermixing such complex/different tastes & textures!

The BEST birthday experience/dinner ever! The food was delicious and inventive. The service was phenomenal and the overall vibe was the perfect bookend to a birthday celebration that began the weekend prior at 7th House!

This was such a fun experience overall! This pop-up restaurant has an interesting pre-fixe menu that changes from time to time. We went for their 5-course dinner as part of the celebrations for my friend's birthday. Every course was so beautifully plated and surprisingly tasteful! I love how deconstruror reimagined some of the dishes were. We also did the wine pairing which was nice. Minus one star as things were offered to us by our server at some point (eg, a small pour of a different sparkling wine) that we presumed were complimentary, however we learned it was an extra charge when the bill came, so it would have been nice if that was clearly communicated to us at the time they were being offered.

Let's dig in, I wish you could give 3.5 stars. I love and understand the concept here and can see the vision. However, I believe a few things can be tweaked. The seating is a L shaped bar, and we happened to be sitting at the connecting parts. In sitting at the connecting parts there's a large pole that blocks your entire view of the staff, so your only view is the pole. No one should have to sit there and ruin the experience. 1/5 All of the dishes had multiple components. In a course dinner the menu should build and be cohesive. I felt like the items didn't build, more so like every dish wanted to be the star. I also felt the majority of the food was cooked in advanced and was very lukewarm. The chicken wellington out of all the dishes was a 1/5. I would rate the remaining dishes in order rice noodle, beef confetti, fig cake, shrimp/crab cake, chicken wellington. The surprise dish was surprisingly good 3.5/5 but the caviar was undetectable. The staff were amazing! They seem to have an enthusiasm for explaining each dish, making sure you enjoyed the meal, explaining the idea behind the dish, and where the food was sourced locally. The service was good as well. We had to ask a few times for new silverware and based off our sitting, if you didn't walk all the way outside of the bar, it felt like they were reaching/stretching & gently tossing the silverware on the napkin (politely). Would I recommend this place, for sure. I would go back when there's open sitting for brunch and try them again.

We had a great Valentines dinner at Bovino After Dark! Though I understand some reviews maybe not loving every dish, my overall experience was 5 stars. The dishes are creative and different, and some were amazing while others were a bit odd, which I would totally take to get the experience of a one of a kind dish! The big reason why I gave it a 5 was the care they had for my husbands allergies. He wanted to make sure I put in my review that this is the best place we've ever been for allergy accommodations. Not just slapping some other protein down or replacing with a random vegetable. Though they did not know which of us it was until we got there, the chef had clearly received the message and made special versions of the dishes ahead of time. For one dish, there was caviar (he's allergic to seafood), which was replaced by bubbles of onion purée. They even went so far to reduce the pricing because of the accommodation. For another dish, the chef had made an entirely separate "dashi" broth.

Incredible experience watching the chefs at work for each course!!

Just an absolutely top-notch dining experience that I'd recommend to anyone looking for something different, fun, and adventurous. You have to be ready for anything because you pay in advance for your experience here, and the menu is always pre-fixe. You don't get to make many choices. But don't worry, everything they serve is amazing. I tried to capture the experience in photos, but to sum it up, you are seated at a bar facing the exposed kitchen (which is in the corner of Hop City's bar). So you get to watch each dish as chefs prepare it for you. They do two seatings each night (6 and 8pm), and you can either do wine pairings or order drinks from the Hop City bar. On the night we went, the courses were (very fancy versions of) deconstructed ramen soup, fried green tomatoes with mussels in an amazing peanut sauce, duck confit, beef and broccoli, and an incredible dessert of creme brulee with coffee ice cream. You could add additional courses like oysters (we didn't) or habanero ice cream with caviar (we did - it was savory and so interesting). The service was impeccable - they described every dish to you. We had an amazing time, and this is such a fun place for a special occasion!

After visiting here, I feel like I need to remove stars for every other restaurant I have reviewed. This is the best tasting menus I've ever had. I could make this a super long review, but instead, I'll make it a TL;DR. Miller Union? Gun Show? Both great restaurants. Two of their chefs are now the brains behind Bovino After Dark and they will not disappoint. Farm to table? Yes. Creative? Yes. You'll be blown away with the plates they put together and with the service they provide. This is a super intimate setting, a chef's counter. You're sitting at an open table that sits against the actual kitchen. You watch every single dish be prepared, cooked, and plated. Every week the dishes change and they are using what's in season. Five courses are $65. I would honestly spend over $100 for the quality and quantity of each dish. Location is in the back corner of Hop City. Plenty of free parking. Right on the BeltLine. I still can't believe this place is so close to my house. The best restaurant in Atlanta!

An incredible gem of a restaurant. Run don't walk before everyone finds out about it. I've been to a few of the best tasting menus around and this place does not disappoint. The dishes are insanely unique and deliciously creative. I almost don't want to leave a review because I know I'll never get a reservation but this crew deserves it...they are amazing! Apologies on not naming these dishes or having more pics...I ate them too fast to remember

Immersive and top-tier culinary experience. From the thoughtful menu curation to the wacky caviar bumps, it's clear that every step of the five course dinner is crafted with intention and expertise, with flavor profiles ranging from exotic to cozy. Taylor and Nathaniel took great care of us, and it was awesome to meet the chefs and see their creative process first hand. Don't sleep on Bovino After Dark, it's a real Atlanta gem!

Where do I even start? I have to give it up to Hannah because her patience with us was next level…read more She was locked out of our cabin for a brief moment and I couldn't even get in touch with her because my phone died after a full day at the local vineyards. Luckily, I had her email and knew she'd respond right away. What can I say? From the very beginning, I knew this was going to be quite the experience. Hannah and I were in touch everyday curating the perfect menu for my girls trip. She was extremely accommodating as one of the girls did not like meat so she quickly made her own choices for my friend. She's extremely communicative which was my favorite part about her services. She made this experience 10/10 for us. And the FOOD?! Phenomenal! We devoured everything. Hannah took care of all the courses and one I didn't include was the kale Cesar salad that tasted so yummy and added the lightest clean touch to our steak dinner. I have no complaints with Hannah and if you're looking for a chef in the Blue Ridge she is your girl. She will take of you from beginning to end with upmost southern hospitality. We do enjoyed having her and will book her again no questions asked! Love you Hannah you were wonderful!!

PHENOMENAL CHEF! We hired chef Jarvis for our baby shower and a personal dinner for two!…read moreBaby shower: he prepared shrimp and grits, seafood pasta, and fresh fruit tray. ALL FRUIT WAS GONE! The freshest fruit! The shrimp and grits were light but well seasoned! There was just enough shrimp in each bite and he wasn't stingy with the portion size. The seafood pasta was an ultimate hit! There was seafood in every bite and it was the freshest seafood! I never had seafood pasta prepared this way. It contained crab, shrimp and a lobster topping! EVERYONE ATE ALL OF HIS FOOD. We ordered enough and none was left! All of our guests constantly still talk about how good the food was at the shower Private dinner: Chef Jarvis served jalapeño wrapped in bacon, seafood macaroni and cheese, fingerling potatoes, asparagus and a Tomahawk steak. The steak was extremely tender and well seasoned! The seafood macaroni and cheese was fluffy and the seafood taste was not over powering the Mac and cheese. The asparagus and potatoes were fresh and seasoned perfectly! To end the night we were served a brownie that was sooooo soft! I don't eat sweets because I don't like the way they taste but I ate the whole brownie! That says something! I would definitely hire him again! There is no one better in Atalanta! Typically everyone is about presentation and no taste or vice versa. Chef Jarvis comes with both! You get great tasting food, beautiful presentation and stellar service !!!
