**This review is specifically for Overstory Rooftop Brunch**…read more Made a solo reservation on a Sunday to have brunch before seeing a show. The good parts didn't outweigh the not-so-good for me. 1. Located on the 9th floor of The Westin, BUT, parking is mad affordable, which is a big relief as usually hotel rooftops have a static valet parking fee for $25 or more. There is a garage right in front of the entrance and its 5 bucks for up to 4 hours. 2. Views - decent enough for the 9th floor, but mostly overlooks trees and some highways. There isn't much to actually look at as far as a skyline. I was here in the daytime though, maybe at night with whatever city lights coming in, it may be a lil more charming. 3. Ambience - the inside was really nice, the tables were big and seating was comfy, a combo of cushioned chairs and velvety booths or couches. nice decor, and the outside portion of the rooftop also seemed very spacious, with a big main area as well as seating & a few more tables down the side of the building. I went during the yacht rock brunch period, so there was a live DJ spinning old hits from the 70s/80s. the music was at a cool volume, not so loud that you can't hear anyone speak, but not too low like background music - loud enough that you feel like its okay to vibe out. 4. Food & Service - this is where it fell apart for me. when i was seated, it took about 15-20 minutes for my waitress to come and ask me what i wanted to drink. when she finally did, i realized this same woman had walked past me several times before, on the way to do nothing in particular. she didn't introduce herself but was polite. she brought out my coffee and took my order, it took an hour for my food to come out. and the place wasn't crowded. only 2 couples sitting outside and about 40% capacity ithe indoor section where I was. and the food was subpar. it all came out hot, BUT. chicken sausage was hard to bite because casing was burnt and tough. eggs were cooked with so much butter it just tasted like i was eating fluffy butter. biscuit was dry and couldn't possibly be homemade. 'parmesan potatoes' had a few sad dried dots of cheese and parsley but no seasoning whatsoever. i forced myself to eat about half. I live far from Duluth, so really no reason to come back. Maybe a nighttime hang with drinks only, on the outdoor terrace would be a slightly better experience. But I don't have to find out.

The Camarones on the main menu was my favorite, especially because it was spicy! Real authentic spice, not the buffalo sauce junk. Carnitas were fall off the bone, great for the bland eaters. Tacos came in the blue corn tortillas which I've never seen. Ceviche La Viuda Negra is a great fresh starter with a large portion. Empanadas had a nice portion of meat, bigger than usual, and also easy to share. They had a great drinks menu but a little weak on the alcohol. La Papis cocktail tasted like grape soda. Overall, we will be back to try other items on the menu.

They know their menus and are always on top of everything. Kept us informed of our food arrival and etc.., made fabulous wine recommendations even offering a small taste before we decided. The food was not impressive. While the portions were great for tapas style dining, the taste was just not there. The UWT salad was just ok, the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread was almost uneditable, the Korean Shortribs were not any better. The flatbread was swimming in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. The Korean Short Ribs were literally pot roast with sesame seeds and green onions served a top a serving of dry potatoes. We enjoyed the ambience and the wine but would not go back due to the food. Admittedly we are foodies and this establishment did not meet our expectations. Really not trying to be a negative Nancy but this was not to our liking.

OUR SERVER NEVER PUT OUR ORDER OF SHORT RIBS IN. after abt an hr and no short ribs i asked where it was and waddayaknow our server made a mistake and never put it in. at that point i was so fed up me and my coworker just left.

Seriously, you walk in and it's like a warm hug from a cloud wearing a fancy hat. You just know good things are about to happen. My mission? Speedy sustenance! So, naturally, I zeroed in on the unsung hero of the snack world: French Fries! And let me tell you, Sweetsong's fries are doing the Lord's work. Fresh? Check. Crispy? Oh honey, they were practically crackling with deliciousness! Each bite was a perfect little golden crunch of potato perfection. Seriously, forget your troubles, just grab a handful of these bad boys. Now, you know I'm all about the experience, so a stellar snack deserves an equally dazzling drink. Enter "Just Peachy." This isn't your grandma's sweet tea, folks. This is a symphony in a glass! Elderflower whispering sweet nothings, zesty lemon doing a little tango, spiced tea adding a touch of intrigue, all topped off with delightful little bubbles that tickled my nose and made my tastebuds sing! Non-alcoholic drinks are officially my jam if they all taste THIS good. Move over, boring beverages! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! (Insert dramatic pause and a spotlight effect in your mind). My eyes did a little happy dance when they landed on the LEMON CHESS PIE! Let's break this down, shall we? A ginger crust that promises a little spicy kick? YES. A classic lemon pie filling that's tart and tangy and everything right in the world? DOUBLE YES. Then they hit you with the lychee gel - a little burst of exotic sweetness that's like a mini-vacation for your mouth. And the pièce de résistance? A delicate, crispy Coconut Tuile perched on top like a tiny, elegant crown. Y'ALL. This dessert was like they reached into my brain, grabbed all my favorite flavors, and mashed them together in the most glorious way possible. How could a human being with a soul say no to THAT lineup? It was a culinary "meet cute" of epic proportions. I sadly missed the grand opening festivities last year (life, you know?), but mark my words, Westin Gwinnett! I will be back. And it won't be a fleeting visit. This property has officially stolen a little piece of my heart (and my stomach!). The ambiance is truly something special, and the tastes? Oh. Em. Gee. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and make a pit stop at Sweetsong. Your tastebuds will thank you, and your soul will feel just a little bit brighter. #ashsaidit #WestinGwinnett #Sweetsong #AtlantaFoodie #GwinnettEats

I was really looking forward to trying the oysters, but I didn't realize their menu changes often so unfortunately, no oysters this time. A little sad about that! We decided to order pretty much everything off the à la carte menu. Overall, the food was just okay to me. The Brussels sprouts were the hardest to eat they were basically raw, just thinly sliced with sauce poured over. It would've been much better if they were at least steamed or grilled a bit. The mushrooms, though, were absolutely BOMB! If I didn't know what it was, I would've thought it was some sort of meat dish super soft, flavorful, and delicious. Definitely the highlight of the meal. The Wagyu, on the other hand, was a big disappointment. For the price, it was tough and chewy when it should've been buttery and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Overall, the place is cute and the vibes are nice, but the food was overpriced for what it was. I'd only come back for those mushrooms they were that good.

I placed an order for everything on the carte menu. Food was fun and a few of the dishes caught me off guard, in a good way. Pros. We loveeed the maitake mushrooms. This dish was one dish my friend and I had low expectations for. Ironically it's the only dish we would go back for! The bucatini I also had low expectations for. I hardly order pasta, from non pasta specialty places, because the pasta is 99% of the time going to be overcooked. BUT this bucatini was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was rich but not too heavy and just enough to cover the noodles without drowning. The crab taste was pretty faint. If it weren't listed on the menu I wouldn't even think it were in the dish. Cons. The brussel sprout salad was honestly almost inedible. It is a raw shaved brussel sprout salad, dressed as a Caesar salad. Although not bad tasting, the core of the sprouts was not tender but dry and hard. There was also a lot of it. Most disappointing was the "waygu ribeye". The quality was pretty horrible. The piece we got had silver skin as well as chunks of fat. I wish I got a picture of the leftover fat from the steak but if you look at my picture you can clearly see slices of just fat. I love a little fat on a well cooked ribeye and do not mind paying for it. But paying $50 for a probably 8oz "waygu" ribeye with only half of it palatable is wild. Regardless, I'm actually going back in a couple of days with my husband because of those amazing mushrooms.. though as I am writing this review I'm debating on canceling my reservation, ordering the mushrooms to go, and just going elsewhere. lol

If you haven't been to Just Brunch in Duluth, consider this your official wake-up call and brunch…read morereminder! I stopped by this hidden gem around 9:00 AM on my way to an event. When I pulled up my jaw dropped from seeing all the cars. The parking lot was absolutely STACKED. I'm talking packed out with hungry brunch-goers! I immediately had that dread that I'd be waiting forever for a table. However, the universe was working in my favor. There was no wait at all! Actually there was plenty of seating both inside and the patio. I happily slid right up to the bar. My server was also the bartender, and he provided top-tier customer service. He was so genuinely nice. Honestly, the moment I saw his locs neatly and impeccably pulled back, I got that instant feeling of comfort. I knew right then and there I was in the absolute right spot. I peeked at the breakfast menu and noticed they serve alkaline water, which is a massive health and wellness plus for me. You already know that premium hydration was the very first thing I ordered to set the entire vibe. Next up was the main event of the morning. I saw the Quartet Waffles with homemade maple butter on the menu and it immediately gained my interest. That's when he asked if I wanted the regular waffles or their signature cornbread waffles. I asked him which one was more popular. Without missing a beat, he told me I had to try the cornbread. So, I trusted the expert and went for it, alongside a savory side of scrambled eggs and seasoned breakfast potatoes. I was thoroughly impressed with the culinary presentation. The eggs looked fresh, vibrant, and top-notch quality. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly seasoned and cooked to an absolute golden crisp. But those cornbread waffles? They were a gourmet masterpiece and something else entirely! I have never in my life had a cornbread waffle, and honestly, I can't see myself ever going back to a regular waffle recipe. The kitchen execution was flawless: crispy on the outside, beautifully gooey on the interior texture, and that homemade maple butter? OMG! It brought the sweet and savory profiles together in perfect harmony. It was worth every single magnificent bite! While sitting at the bar counter, I saw so much fast footwork, quick table turns, people picking up orders and high energy from the front-of-house staff. This place is hustling, the restaurant energy is high, the nostalgic R&B music in the background make this a great outing for the whole family or solo like me. They are situated in a fantastic location for a weekend brunch. Just Brunch, you have a major fan in me. I will be back real, real soon for round two!

They have a few TVs for viewing and had a live belly dancer briefly perform. They didn't have a DJ. It seems like they were playing music from a music playlist, which was a mix of RnB and Hip Hop. Their menu has food, drink, and hookah options. They had nothing on the menu except for Suya; so, we didn't have food. The drinks were pretty good and reasonably priced, given that they were served in plastic cups. The hookah was pretty good and lasted awhile. Of note, the bartender couldn't take cash because she didn't have enough change in the register to return; the only option was card payment.

The sign would advise they open at 5, but doors wouldn't open until nearly an hour later. They would frequently do grocery runs to Walmart then charge you the same amount for items such as wings that were clearly different and finally arrived right before they close the lounge. So you literally had to box them, then pay your bill to close..... With that said, The recent visit I made last week was MUCH better. Decor of this locale is real loungy and sleek. Nice ambiance for a Gwinnett experience...The staff is very pleasant, and the Siracha wings are amazing!!! Presentation was so simple but nice... My friend got another chicken dish, that kinda looked like a Cordon Bleu, and that was quite tasty as well. Drinks are fair, (tiny portions with ice), and the music is good. Mix of African/Reggae/HipHop. In all, I recommend this place if the consistency stays like this....but I had to be honest about my previous experiences.
