    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.

    Spicy Pork Sausage Spaghetti

    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!

    Shrimp appetizer

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Can I bring my own wine and if so, what is your corkage fee?

    Hello Jerry, We allow a max of 2 bottles. Corkage is $35 per bottle.

    (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.

Food: All of the women at the table did the prix fixe menu which was an amazing deal that they offer I believe on Fridays and Saturdays. For the 4 courses you get, it is well worth the price and honestly a great deal for a date night if you have someone you want to impress :) Everything was phenomenal. The crab cake was full of meaty crab, the lobster bisque was velvety and creamy, the ginger duck steak was cooked perfectly and though I can't remember the dessert I got, likely because I was stuffed from the other courses, I'm sure it was delicious too. The menu was plentiful with great choices and it's honestly a whole lot of food! Drinks: This is the only thing I'd say wasn't my favorite.

    (One star only because zero isn't an option)…read more Our experience at Southern Gentleman in Buckhead was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in years. The only positive part of the afternoon was being seated a few minutes before our reservation time. After that, everything went downhill. We waited approximately 10 minutes just to receive water, and then another 15 minutes before our server returned to take care of our table. Once we placed our order, the server had to return three separate times to verify what she had written down. We ordered two simple cocktails, yet one arrived as a shot instead of the drink ordered. We sent it back, only to watch the server bring the same drink back out and deliver it to the table behind us. After sitting there for roughly ten minutes, that family correctly informed the server it wasn't theirs. Rather than having a fresh drink prepared, the server simply picked it up, walked around the corner, and attempted to bring the exact same drink back to our table. At that point, we took the drink directly to the bar and requested that it be remade. The food itself was average at best. The mac and cheese was the only item that stood out in a positive way. Unfortunately, we weren't the only table experiencing problems. All three tables surrounding us appeared to be dealing with significant service issues of their own. A restaurant called "Southern Gentleman" should embody hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail. Our experience reflected none of those qualities. If you value your time, money, and family dining experience, I would strongly recommend choosing another restaurant in Buckhead. This establishment completely ruined what was supposed to be a pleasant Father's Day dinner.

Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal.

Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

    Food was delicious and the ambiance was nice. Saw someone getting engaged in the little garden area…read moreoutside. Service staff was kind and attentive. They split our appetizers into two plates which made it easier for my partner and I to eat. The beet salad goes really well with the crispy cracker they offer with their bread!

    Our experience with server Savannah F was totally amazing tonight 5/29. She made us feel…read morecomfortable in not being totally satisied with our meal's choice, she suggested an alternative presentation and came to check several times on how whether we needed anything else while offering a simplified food experience. It was the best service and food and athmosphere we have had in many years! Thank you Houston's and Thank You Savannnah. We will be back!

    Title: Lost a Loyal Customer -- Management Failed…read more I'll start by saying I previously gave this location a 5-star review because I genuinely loved it. That review still stands for what it was -- but this is about what happened next. About 3-4 months ago, I stopped in after work wearing medical scrubs and clogs. The hostess turned me away at the door, citing what she called a dress code. Fine -- except I could clearly see guests already seated inside wearing sandals. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told it was a "strict policy" and offered a to-go order instead. No explanation for the double standard. No accountability. Just a dismissal. I've been coming here for years and never had an issue with my work attire. And I've since learned I'm not alone -- friends have described similar experiences at this location. I don't throw around the word "profiling" lightly. But when enforcement is this inconsistent, it's hard to arrive at any other conclusion. The food is good. The servers have always been great. But management completely dropped the ball, and that's enough for me to walk away for good.
