    Melinda was the sweetest and so knowledgeable about the menu. She has excellent recommendations. Incredible food and service! I so regret modifying my lamb shank order to ask for potatoes instead of rice. It's swimming in the most delightfully flavorful sauce and I sure wish I had some rice. The fingerling potatoes are excellent as well. The cocktail recommended by the waitress is on point. I can't wait to come back next month and stay here. This might be my only place to eat! I was very skeptical about these reviews since this is the restaurant in my hotel. I usually stay away from restaurants in hotels. It's a beautiful space and has been packed both nights of my stay - Monday and Tuesday. I had to check it out. I bet this is packed on the weekends and would recommend a reservation during those times. There's a large bar area.

    Butternut Squash Soup

    A beautiful relatively small restaurant inside of the Burgess hotel. Service was great, and all the food we ordered was delicious. We had the butternut squash soup, potato gnocchi, bread app, split the special of the wagyu Wellington and brussel sprouts. They accommodated my kids. My mom just said the sausage pasta wa just ok. Had a high chair and my 3 and 4 year old were able to get butter noddles and chicken tenders with fries. Even on a Friday it was easy to grab a last minute reservation.

    Chef's Special Was a Hit Stopped in for dinner and tried the chef's special -- a creamy pasta dish with tender meat and perfectly cooked tagliatelle. It was rich, flavorful, and just the right portion to satisfy without overdoing it. The sauce clung to every ribbon of pasta like it knew what it was doing. The atmosphere had that "old luxury" vibe -- dim lighting, classic decor, and just enough quiet to hold a proper conversation. It felt intentional, like a throwback to when dining out was an experience, not a rush. I appreciated the slower pace and the focus on quality. Would absolutely return -- and next time, I'll be asking what the chef's got cooking before I look at the menu.

    The moment you walk into this restaurant you're taken away by the decor! It's located inside the Burgess Hotel on Piedmont in Buckhead. There is valet parking. They have an open kitchen so you can see the chef and staff working away! The staff was nice and very attentive. The food was absolutely amazing in fact I'm craving the gnocchi as I type. It was so flavorful and worth the price! I also had the branzino, prepared to perfection! The mocktails were really good as well! My friends also enjoyed the spaghetti, octopus, & scallops. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fine dining experience with amazing food!

    This is a gorgeous restaurant located inside of a really nice boutique hotel. We didn't have a reservation but we were able to snag seats at the bar before it got busy. For drinks we tried the butter pecan old fashioned which was really balanced but strong in a good way. For dinner we tried the shrimp appetizer, duck Special and the burger. Everything was delicious. The burger tasted like it was cooked on an open flame. I would deductible go back for cocktails or for dinner.

    Really doesn't get much better. Amazing food service and ambiance. We stayed at the hotel and was so glad we had this restaurant. The food was 5 stars and the wine was amazing. Dessert was spot on. The service is was really sent it to the next level. This is the place to eat!

    Great service. Easy location with free parking. I felt this was an expensive restaurant with gratuity at 20% automatically added for just two people. With 2 meals, a salad, 1 appetizer and one cocktail the bill was $180. The meal was not a $180 meal but decent enough quality and experience. Like the kitchen concept and fire grill but do not need to return.

    Some of the best restaurants are in hotels. Anytime I am in town I have to go to Fia. The wood grilled fish is so fresh and light. Not pictured is the grilled octopus which also was great. Definitely a great dinner spot.

    Gnocchi, 8/10 (l'm not a fan of mushrooms, but the sauce was delicious)

The lamb shank, the short ribbbbb, ALLLLL TASTED SOOOOO GOOOD compliments to the chef. They can take my money EVERY TIME. Only thing that was mid, was the creme brülee, I wouldn't get that again. But everything else, YES YES 1000x YES Pork Belly, 1000/10 definitely a FLAVOR BOMB Gnocchi, 8/10 (l'm not a fan of mushrooms, but the sauce was delicious) The ciabatta SO GOOD 10/10 great for dipping in the gnocchi sauce!!!

Love the casual elegance and lighting

    Outside. Storefront. Main entrance and driveway. Fia Restaurant is located inside the Burgess Hotel. Free self-parking around the building.

    I give Fia Restaurant 4.5 stars rounded up to 5. This restaurant lived up to the hype, for the most part. For a nice night out in Buckhead, this place fits the bill. The cuisine is New American and Mediterranean. Fia is pronounced "fee-uh." It's Italian for flickering flame or little fire. The restaurant opened in December 2019 inside the Burgess Hotel, a boutique hotel. The hotel's co-owner and executive chef is named Burges Jokhi. Burgess and Burges. Coincidence? Burges owns the place with his partner, Freny Jokhi. The hotel bar, Mr B Bar, was named after Freny's dad, Keki Bunshah. The Burgess used to be a Wingate by Wyndham. Initially, the Burgess was part of Wyndham's Trademark Collection. Now, it's in Marriott's Tribute Portfolio. Hotel restaurants are notoriously hit or miss. I'm happy to report Fia is one of the best hotel restaurants I've dined at in metro Atlanta and one of the better ones anywhere. Fia was named a Yelp Top 100 US Restaurant in 2022 (#32). Reservations are recommended. It was packed during our Saturday night visit. Those without a reservation either had to sit "outside" at the bar or wait until one of the last seatings of the night. That night, I noticed a walk-in party return to be seated around 9pm. Book your reservation using OpenTable and earn dining points which can be used to redeem restaurant discounts, Amazon gift cards, hotel stays, and more. Free self-parking is available on the sides and back of the hotel. For a hotel of this "caliber," the parking did strike us as a bit sketch at night. And getting from the parking lot to the front of the hotel involved walking onto the driveway and into traffic. Not the safest. The restaurant and hotel are gorgeous. It's a distinct, eclectic mix of both traditional and modern design, decorated with art from different cultures. It sounds gaudy, but they managed to pull it off. The international flair reminds me of The Consulate restaurant in Midtown. Fia's dining room is cozy and offers a variety of tables and seating -- white tablecloth, wood and stone surfaces, booths, banquettes, and armchairs. There's also an outdoor patio. During our dinner visit, the drink menu featured over a dozen cocktails from Mr B Bar plus wine and bottled and canned beer. The food menu had many salads and apps (e.g., Warm Goat Cheese & Tomato Tartlet, Grilled Giant Prawn), a handful of entrees (e.g., Braised Lamb Shank), several woodfired items (e.g., A5 Wagyu Ribeye, Bell & Evans Moroccan Chicken), and large sides. Here's what three of us had: Specialty Cocktails * Coconut Pecan Old Fashioned ($17) - coconut-washed bourbon, spiced pecan demerara, bitters * "Dirty" Martini ($18) - vodka, Italian vermouth, olives * Base Camp ($17) - vodka, rose nectar, grapefruit Wines by the Glass * Red / Cabernet ($17) - Katherine, Alexander Valley, CA 2021 Salads & Appetizers * Beets & Burrata ($18) - sherry balsamic vinaigrette, basil oil, pickled onion, toasted pistachios * Pan-Seared Potato Gnocchi ($19) - beurre monte, white truffle, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese * Pork Belly ($17) - Jack and Coke glaze, heirloom grits * Charred Octopus ($19) - roasted pepper, artichoke, olives, capers, lemon, olive oil * Grilled Ciabatta ($7) - tomato-rubbed, chimichurri Entree * Pan-Seared New England Scallops ($37) - saffron risotto, artichoke, oven-roasted tomato, basil From the Fia Woodfired Grill * 8 oz Center-Cut Filet ($49) - cognac peppercorn sauce * Whole Branzino ($42) - fennel-citrus salad Shareable Side * Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($13) - pear gastrique Dessert * Bananas Foster ($15) - vanilla gelato Everything was excellent, both in taste and presentation. The plating was beautiful. Each dish was a work of art. The attention to detail was evident. The tableware was unique and artistic, some with colorful floral patterns. My favorites dishes were the Pan-Seared Potato Gnocchi, Pork Belly, and Pan-Seared New England Scallops. Between the mushrooms and cheese, the gnocchi dish was packed with umami. Buttery too, but not excessive. And the gnocchi had perfect texture. The quality of the pork belly was terrific. The meat and grits were delicious. The scallops were fresh and plump -- among the best I've had in recent memory. Together with the risotto and veggies, the dish was really tasty. If you like burrata and octopus, I recommend both the Beets & Burrata and Charred Octopus appetizers. They didn't disappoint. The beets were well seasoned. The octopus was tender and flavorful. The Grilled Ciabatta turned out to be a great recommendation from our server. It worked better as a side than an app. The Whole Branzino was well executed and fileted to have barely any bones, which I appreciated -- another wonderful dish. The Bananas Foster wasn't finished tableside, but was still fantastic. The drinks were superb as well. I enjoyed the "Dirty" Martini in particular and I usually don't like martinis. Our server Zoe S was amazing. She was very friendly and attentive.

    Fia is amazing. Starting with the ambience: from the wood burning stoves in the background to the unique decor that was relaxing and set the tone. Only downside was since it was fairly dark, photos were difficult to capture the food in its best light. Now onto the food, the menu had so many unique appetizers and entrees, that it was hard to choose. So, we didn't. Instead we ordered a number of starters and sides to share. And each picked a different entree so we could try each others too. The best ones: the hummus takes top spot (very unique as it was warm and had "stuff" in it - not exactly sure of the details but it was incredible). Next up - The octopus was very tasty. Those who had the beets and burrata loved it and the tomato tart with warm goat cheese was delicious as well. For short ribs, pork chop and the duck with blackberry sauce and pieces of pear and more (that was my favorite) all got rave reviews. Additionally the service was very good and the meal very well paced. I'd highly recommend Fia and would come back when visiting Atlanta.

    (don’t mind my username) I have a question, what is the age limit? I have a feeling it’s for kids but I’m not for sure.

    I doubt there's an age limit. The food is for grown ups, ie I don't there's a kids menu.

    Burgess hotel. How is the food?

    Amazing. Technically it's Fia's food not the hotels but the restaurant is inside the hotel and has the same owner.

We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.
