Crescent City Kitchen never disappoints! They're one of the few restaurants in Midtown that validates parking, which is always a huge plus. Everything I've tried on the menu has been delicious. My only complaint is that I wish the restaurant was a little bigger because it can feel a bit cramped inside. Other than that, the service and food are consistently excellent. This visit, I ordered the seafood dip, and it was absolutely amazing. For my entrée, I had the steak with fries and a Caesar salad. The steak was perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. My sister ordered the croffle flight along with the mac and cheese and grits, and she thoroughly enjoyed both. This was my second visit, and I'll definitely be back for a third. It's hard to find a restaurant that's this consistent, but Crescent City Kitchen delivers every time! read more

I visited Crescent Kitchen & Bar for my girlfriend's birthday brunch after seeing all the hype on TikTok. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match the reviews. The restaurant was much smaller and less impressive than expected, with tables packed very close together. We waited several minutes to be greeted, our reservation didn't seem to matter, and service felt disorganized from the start. We weren't given menus or silverware until we asked, and attention to detail was noticeably lacking throughout the visit. The food was absolutely the highlight. Everything we ordered was delicious and lived up to the hype. However, for a bill that approached $300 for just two people, I expected a better atmosphere and overall experience. I'm big on ambiance, especially when booking a place for a birthday or date. Part of what hurt the experience was being seated beside a group dressed very casually in sweats and hoodies, with one guest working on a laptop and taking over an extra table. That's not a criticism of them, but it didn't align with the elevated dining experience the restaurant's pricing and online reputation seem to suggest. A dress code or a more curated dining environment would go a long way toward creating the upscale atmosphere they're aiming for. Great food, but great restaurants create an experience, not just a meal. For me, Crescent delivered on the food but fell short on the service, ambiance, and attention to detail needed to justify the price. Not somewhere I'll be returning for a special occasion. read more

Yessss!!! Shoutout to the NO!!! This place is legit! Me made a res but didnt get seated right away. They were busy boots. The place is kind of small with a bar and they were having a celebration that day! I forget what for. Anyrate. They have a very robust New Orleans Cajun cuisine menu. I saw that they serbe beignets and I ordered them! And yes! Taste and texture is fresh out if café dumonde um the size too damn small for $10 and for beignets...make them bigger. I ordered the blackened catfish and grits and omg rated GAF! I love a good grit that don't require chees. We also ordered tge garlic toast. It was just okay. Um if im back in town I'd come here again and our waitress could have been more attentive. They do offer shaded outdoor seating l. read more

I really liked this place !!!!! They have a parking deck beside the restaurant they validate for 2 hours, so wait till you get inside to validate you have 10 mins . I'm not going to lie at first the aesthetic was a little underwhelming for downtown to me and it was my birthday so I wanted a nice ambiance. BUT let me tell you the customer service and the food did not disappoint ! It was so good !! They have honestly the best grits I've ever had ! (Don't tell my momma ) The New Orleans flavors and Thoes drinks ! A time was had !!!!! I will definitely be back ! I love places that treat you with kindness, respect great service and great food !!!! S/O to my server I think his name was Vonte read more

I liked Crescent City Kitchen. The food came out hot, I enjoyed everything we ordered, and our server was very friendly. It has that classic Atlanta brunch spot feel, with a darker atmosphere and black-and-red décor. We ordered the egg rolls, catfish and grits, and beignets. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out as spectacular or made me want to immediately come back for a specific dish. I visited on a weekday, but I could definitely see this place getting very busy on the weekends, so that's something to keep in mind. One nice perk is that they validate parking in the lot next door, which is a huge plus since parking in Midtown can be expensive and hard to find. read more

Thought the food was overseasoned and overpriced. Can be a bit smokey and packed whilst being hot.

A friend recommended this spot for brunch, and I'm so glad they did! The menu is inspired by New Orleans cuisine, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Our server was fantastic and helped us navigate the menu with her recommendations, which I think I ended up following almost entirely. No regrets there! My favorite dish was easily the Voodoo Grits: creamy grits topped with their signature voodoo sauce loaded with shrimp, sausage, and crawfish. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish you'll be thinking about long after brunch is over ( I know I am). Will be back when in the A. read more

Stopped in for a brunch. Made reservations for 2:30. When we arrived the place was packed. The space small but has a good vibe. Music playing but you can still here each other talk. Now about the food everything and I mean everything we try was delicious. The croffle flight was the star this time. All of the flavors were delicious. Sweet without being overwhelming. Looking forward to going back read more

What an incredible experience. As soon as you walk into the establishment, you see this beautiful flowered rose wall that's so inviting. I turned to my left you are greeted by amazing Bartendar shaking up drinks, smiling laughing. The music is at a perfect level so you're able to still dance and shimmy in your seat while eating this amazing food. We decided to sit at the bar because Matt was just so welcoming. He knew the menus he knew exactly what to recommend. The food came out hot and ready. Let's talk about this food. OMG every single plate that came out I wanted !!we finally settled on the voodoo egg rolls you have to get it's a must. It is prepared comes to you hot full of flavor pack full of food huge eggrolls. Then I had the Billionaire Grits. OMG so freaking good. The lobster was perfectly prepared. The grits had all the flavor packed with crab meat it was absolutely amazing. My friends had the Chicken and Waffles and the waffle tasted like dessert !! the Biscoff cream, fully smooth. I literally would order that for dessert, the chicken wings oh my God, full of flavor arrived hot crispy you knew they made it as soon as you ordered it. my girlfriend also had the Creole Cajun grits full of flavor with the fried snapper on top!!amazing!! People were celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and recently engagements. It felt like I was having brunch with family members. Everyone was so warm and inviting. It's definitely intimate setting. Oh my goodness make a reservation and come on down. I will be seeing you again. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally decided to try it for my birthday. Location: it's in a nice area and it's a small place but you don't feel snug. Parking: I took uber but my friends parked in the parking deck, they validate for 2 hrs. The deck is right next door which is very convenient. Service: We had a party of 5 and made reservations we waited about 30-45 minutes because most of our party wasn't there. I don't think the wait would've been long if my ppl would've been on time. Our server was great! Everyone was pleasant and I enjoyed everything Ambience/Crowd: it's a mixed crowd and everyone had on a bit of every type of outfit. Food/drink : 10/10 I had the lamb chops with Brussels sprout and yams, voodoo egg rolls are amazing! My friends had the pasta, snapper and lamb chops. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Favorite thing: The food and the service. Least favorite thing: I didn't get to try the croffles, they were sold out. Other than that no complaints. Will I be back? Yes! I definitely wanna try the croffles. read more

Very friendly service - I think his name was Matt... Sat at the bar, we overlooked it being a Saturday and no reservation - whoops! The croffle flight was yum - the 3 different flavors of croffles (waffle & croissant baby), and a side of tenders - which were juicy and perfect proportion breaded (aka very lightly). A little side sauce would've jazzed it up a bit. Included 18% gratuity. Parking garage and they validate 2 free hours. read more

My original experience was amazing. It was five stars. I was excited to come back and bring friends, so I did. It was not a good experience. I hesitated on posting this update because I understand that everyone is working hard and things happen. However, I feel like I can't only post good reviews about good experiences. So this is my updated review. We booked reservations for 4 people before a show at the Fox. Our reservations were at noon. I wasn't particularly concerned about this because I came here before another show and everything went smoothly. I was really excited to bring my friends here after our first experience. We arrived by 11:50 and checked in. It was busy at the restaurant. Parties were coming and they were going. We knew we had to be out by a certain time to make it to our show. We were patient. We were standing by the host stand and there were parties arriving that had no reservations but said the knew the hostess. They were seated before us. We waited until 12:45 and asked when we would be seated. We were told there were still three parties ahead of us and it would be another 20 minutes. It was an awful feeling and embarrassing since we had told our friends how amazing this place was. We realized that we had to abort if we were going to eat before our show and found another restaurant for brunch. This was such a disappointing experience. I understand that sometimes there is a rush. I understand that sometimes I need to wait beyond my reservation time. However, hearing other people get seated because they knew someone and jump ahead of the queue was very uncool. Especially when folks waiting in line can hear this happening after waiting 45 minutes beyond their reservation. read more

If this has been on your list, Goooo! This place is really good. From the southern Hospitality to the quality made Cajun cuisine they did not disappoint in any area. The étouffée had all the things great flavor, it did need more spice but nothing hot sauce can't fix. The lab chop cooked perfectly and the sides were unforgettable. The was a great place to end my trip to Atlanta. read more

A slice of NOLA in the heart of ATL! Location and Parking Located in Midtown, parking is (unfortunately never) free. They do validate for 2 hours if you park in the deck closest to the entrance. Venue and Atmosphere Crescent city is small and cozy, with plenty of seating as well as a full bar. The color scheme is bold red and black, and the restrooms are spotless. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages Voodoo Eggrolls 10/10 Uptown/downtown (lobster and catfish) 15/10 Creole Catch (topped with crab cakes) 100000/10 Safe to say that the food was delicious and seasoned to perfection. Sometimes, seafood can be too salty, but not here. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Verdict This is going to become a staple in my brunch rotation, I'll be back! read more

My wife and I are some of the biggest brunch lovers ever, and one of our favorite things to do is find a spot that we might not have been looking for that absolutely blows us away. Crescent City Kitchen was that for us and wow wow wow was it good. Let's get into it! Location and Parking The restaurant is located on Crescent Avenue in Midtown, and as with all things in Midtown parking is never free. They are conveniently located next to a parking deck, and they do validate for 2 hours if you park in said deck. Venue and Atmosphere The venue is quaint and cozy, there is plenty of booth and table seating as well as seating at the bar, which was full. The restaurant was decorated in red and black colors with touches of gold throughout, and music filled the air, it was definitely a vibe. There were a few other patrons in the restaurant, but it did not feel crowded by any means. Service Our server was nice and attentive and all of our food came out promptly. Food and Beverages For the table we got the voodoo eggrolls and I'm still dreaming about them to this day they were so good. My wife got the uptown/downtown with mac and greens, and I got the crabcake hash. We couldn't keep our forks out of each other's plates, if that gives you any idea of how the food tastes. For drinks we each got mimosas, and we sampled some of their flavors. That peach mimosa was a breath of fresh air. Verdict I'm super glad that we stumbled upon this place, I can't wait to bring my friends here and it will definitely become part of my rotation! Until next time! read more

Our mom picked this place to celebrate her 70th birthday for a party of on/around 20 at noon this past Saturday. Things started off a little bumpy the first 20 or so min of our reservation as the tables weren't all arranged, so we had to collaborate with them on getting that settled. We were sat right in the middle of small-ish restaurant which might've not have been my top choice--perhaps in the booths in the back right corner for better comfort. But! Once the tables and chairs were situated, we were off to a good celebration. The restaurant was very lively, lots of foot traffic. The music was moderately loud, we were able to hold convo without yelling. They assigned two team members to us which was helpful. They managed on pretty well, and made sure a birthday song was done. The food was coming out at random versus like ALL appetizers at once then entrees for example--yanno to avoid that only 2 people eating while the rest are waiting? It'd be nice for them to figure out how to fire foods off to minimize or eliminate that. Also the person bringing the food when not our assigned waitress never knew who it belonged to so would have to holler out who had this? That should be fixed too. He enjoyed his tequila sunrise and I my sweet tea. They both took almost 15-20 min to come out but were good. The food overall was pretty good, our only complaint would be that everything tasted somewhat too much of the same--like while it's Cajun based, it was a very single flavor profile. We shared the voodoo egg rolls. They were , crispy, huge and tasty. If you always eat this by yourself, your back will be big. The breakfast surf and turf was almost perfect! I loved the flavor of the breakfast potatoes, my eggs were cooked well. My steak was overcooked but managed to still maintain some juiciness. The jumbo fried shrimp was crispy, actually jumbo, and flavorful. His enjoyed his chicken and biscuit dish through and through. They didn't miss with their biscuit, it was perfect. We'd return and absolutely try out other items. read more

The restaurant had a young feel (Im old...lol) with music and decor to match. It was tastefully done. There is seating outside as well (nice touch). O recommend reservations for a Sunday. We shared a bananas foster croffle (croissant/waffle) and shared these amazingly delicious spicy creamy cheesy filled with seafood loaded fries! Soooooo devilishly good! Service was great, drinks were perfect (and strong). We took advantage of the drink and croffle special offered. Price point was a good value. Even though we shared we did not leave hungry (we actually couldn't finish fries). I parked on the street for free. Not sure how parking is year round but there is a paid parking deck.

I was looking for a brunch spot to eat real quick before I headed out to the One Music Festival. I came on a Sunday and it was pretty busy as expected but I figured I could snag a seat at the bar since I came solo. I had to wait a bit (maybe like 20 minutes) and I was able to be sat. The service was pretty good, I had the white guy (I'm sorry I forgot his name) but he was awesome! I ordered the Voodoo egg rolls and they were fire! I hate that I wasn't going straight home so I could drop off my leftovers but they were phenomenal! I also ordered the croffle with sausage and eggs. Again, the croffle was sooo good! I love and good mix of sweet and savory in my brunch. I think i recall the sausage and eggs being okay. read more

Crescent City Kitchen - Crouffle Flight! So good and they have different flavors every month! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Crescent City Kitchen -- Absolutely Outstanding Wow. Crescent City Kitchen is the real deal. The food is absolutely amazing, and you can tell immediately that the staff and management genuinely care about making sure guests have a great experience. That kind of attention is rare these days and it shows in everything they do. Now let me be clear... this is not a cheap place. Thank God. Because if it were, you probably wouldn't be able to get a seat. The quality absolutely justifies the price. I ordered the steak and lobster with Cajun rice, and it was phenomenal. I also tried their waffles with various toppings along with a few side dishes. Everything was packed with flavor. In fact, the portions were so generous I couldn't finish it all. Took it home, and somehow it tasted even better the next day. A special thank-you to Jaz, who took excellent care of us the entire time. I actually brought my assistant Valerie with me because she had been raving about this place nonstop. So I decided to treat her as a thank-you... and now I understand why she wouldn't stop talking about it. We went on a Tuesday around 5 PM. By 6:30 the place was completely full. It's not a huge restaurant, which honestly adds to the charm, but it also tells you something about the demand. If the owners are smart, they'll eventually expand to additional locations or even franchise the concept, because this place has serious potential. Bottom line... Very good. Very worth it. Stop by and thank me later. read more
