    creme brûlée

    Stopped before visiting the new Civil Rights museum. They provided nice ambiance and friendly service at the bar. The dessert was wonderful. My only concern is that it took a long time for my tea to come out with it so i had to enjoy the two separately.

    This is the lobby restaurant at the Glenn hotel. I swung by for a drink and ordered the lavender cocktail. Overall it was a but too sweet for my liking but I enjoyed the ambiance.

    Apple Pecan salad.

    The ambiance is elegant and thoughtfully curated, creating a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Soft lighting, tasteful décor, and well-paced energy make it ideal for both intimate dinners and special occasions. The space feels refined without being formal, allowing you to relax and truly enjoy the experience. An inviting setting that elevates the entire meal. Fantastic dining experience! We started with a fresh, crisp, well balanced salad that set the tone for the meal. The trout......cooked to perfection--delicate, flavorful, and moist--and the salmon was equally impressive with great texture and seasoning; seared perfectly. You can really tell care goes into the food here. The service was exemplary as well from the moment we walked in. Highly recommended.

    I only sat at the bar as the sky lounge was closed. Our bartender Zach was amazing and so friendly. The drinks were tasty and the ambiance gave grown and sexy.

    The salmon with risotto was delicious! Also make sure to get the not pictured, jalapeño hush puppies and crab dip. The hush puppies have some heat from the sauce but it's not too spicy. The service was a little slow when it came to getting our drinks. Even though we had a decent size group, the restaurant wasn't very busy.

    Chili - nothing crazy special but also not priced like it was crazy special

    We reluctantly went here after reading so many mixed reviews. Well, for a busy Sunday in between 2 major events and no reservations, they crushed it.! (i tried making reservations but was unable to online. Probably bc they were booked) The young host was kind & warm and said they had to commit to the reservations and they were not taking a waiting list. I didn't expect them too so that's why we got there early. Great service and the food was great! Cool and cozy atmosphere. Would go back for sure! Set the right expectations for yourself and the restaurant. You're in ATL next to State Farm Arena. It's going to be busy!

    Tried this place when we went to Atlanta, Georgia. Located inside the Glenn Hotel lobby. I can't say any negative things about this place. I think everyone in my group loved what they have. Service was okay, understand that everything was made fresh, can't complain about the wait.

    I don't think I will ever come back. The two gentlemen behind the bar weren't friendly at all. It was almost lot they didn't want to service us. The service felt more like what do you want, while they were friendly and interacted with everyone else in the dining room. I was excited to come to Glenn's because I hadn't been in a while but the service was not well at all. I asked the other bartender (I didn't get their name because they never introduced themselves, just asked how can I help you). At the end of my experience, I asked them do they have anything for surveys like a card or anything, hinting I was leaving a review and the bartender told me, "oh we don't do reviews". The salmon dish I looked forward to was okay. I couldn't enjoy my food honestly. Thanks for the free desert for my friends birthday I guess? I would say this restaurant is not geared towards young people at all.

    Salmon Caesar Salad! 9/10 i've had better but still really good!

    9/10! I've had better but it was still really good. I'd get it well done though unless you like it more medium.

    Food was delicious. Old fashion was delicious. Service was excellent. Vibe & esthetics was awesome. Check it out.

    Located in the lobby of the Glenn Hotel Atlanta, it's a downtown Atlanta destination for sensational dishes like this char-grilled salmon! Light and slightly charred salmon cooked perfectly atop a bright, lemon, creamy risotto that brings out the savory salmon flavor wonderfully! Then, they amped up the flavor with tangy pickled onions to mix in. We paired it with the bright, herbaceous Garden in the sky cocktail filled with cool cucumber and tangy mint.  Some of our other favorite dishes start with the starters like the Deviled Eggs and Jalapeno Hushpuppies. The Deviled eggs are sharp and tangy, a tasty spicy, sweet savory bacon jam on top. Yum! Speaking of spicy, the Jalapeño hushpuppies start out sweet with corn and honey, then the spicy jalapeño kicks in for a balanced bite! The spicy dipping sauce is icing into her cake. We paired this with Glenn's Old fashioned a traditional cocktail yet that is boozy and a slight sweetness for balance.  We also tried one of their salads, the Ahi Tuna Salad, and a handheld, the Short Rib sandwich. The Short rib sandwich is meaty and tender short rib paired with a spicy and creamy horseradish aioli, finished off with slaw on a crunchy ciabatta roll. And the Ahi Tuna Salad is savory and seasoned ahi tuna with a bright spring salad, tangy dressing, and creamy avocado. And don't forget the service! Waited on hand and foot and very knowledgeable about the menu!

    Strawberry salad with Salmon

    We dined here before a show as it was convenient to the State Farm Arena. We arrived around 6:30 on a Monday evening. The restaurant was not packed but there were right many tables occupied. The hostess was very friendly and we were seated right away. We ordered 2 Georgia Peach cocktails and 2 Strawberry salads. One with shrimp and one with salmon. The food came out right away, it was fresh, a good size portion, and the dressing was awesome. Would definitely return again if in the area or prior to a show.

    I absolutely love this restaurant. They are always so welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice…read more It's great for business meetings or a romantic dinner. Making reservations is really simple via OpenTable. They have Valley parking which cost around eight dollars, but there is also a parking garage where you can pay by the hour. They have a pretty large dining room with an area for more private dining as well and they also have seating at the oyster bar. This is my fourth visit and each visit the food has been really good. For our appetizers we got my favorite the shrimp à la Plancha, but I did notice that the bread that comes with the dish has gotten significantly smaller. For dinner we had the fingerling potatoes, which I was not a fan of. They were pretty hard. I got the red fish for my entrée and we got the collard greens for our vegetable and the greens tasted amazing. My friend ordered the She Crab Soup and Fried Oysters and said they were both delicious. I missed out on the Peach cake (out of season) but they had Apple and I liked it.

At our table, we had the spicy kale salad, fried oysters she crab soup, and blackened red fish. All of these dishes were expertly prepare prepared... but that black and red fish was a thing of beauty oh my gosh! Ridiculously delicious. If you're having trouble making up your mind, listen to me right now get the freaking blackened red fish, OK?! I almost forgot we also had dessert. Everyone except for me really loved that apple pudding cake. I thought it was just kind of a mess. But ohhhh, the Keylime pie!! A work of art! So very good.

The space is clean but not sterile: exposed brick, warm wood, and a bar that glows like it wants you to linger. *The food* skips the tired "burgers and mac" checklist. Think short rib agnolotti with smoked corn puree, charred broccolini with miso-garlic butter, and a fried chicken sandwich that somehow stays crisp under a jalapeño honey glaze. Portions are generous without being wasteful, and everything tastes intentional like the kitchen tested it 10 times before it hit the menu. *The cocktails are the real flex.* The menu changes seasonally, but the bar team leans into flavor over gimmicks. I tried the *Oaxacan Old Fashioned* with mezcal, mole bitters, and orange peel that's torched tableside. Smoky, slightly sweet, zero gimmick. My friend went for the *Cucumber Basil Gimlet* and said it tasted like summer in a glass. No sugary syrup bombs here. Bartenders actually explain what's in your drink if you ask, and they're good at steering you if you're unsure. Service hit the sweet spot between attentive and relaxed. Water refills showed up without hovering, and the server knew the menu well enough to call out what's spicy, what's rich, and what's worth splitting. It feels like a place locals will become regulars at, but it's good enough to bring out-of-town friends to. Creative without being precious, tasty without being safe. Sorry I didn't take pictures,
