    The fish and grits were GOOOOD
    M T.

    if you're looking for a solid brunch spot in Atlanta, hit up Love at First Bite. The food is legit. I tore into their pancakes--they were the real deal, no joke. We got the fish and grits, and he was impressed, said the fish was cooked perfectly and the grits were on point. We washed it all down with some mimosas, which were cold and went down easy. It's a good place to grab a meal, kick back, and start the day right. You won't be disappointed.

    postop three days after having surgery. I could finally go outside so I came here because I felt like I needed to be surrounded by Love and I put the keyword Love in and this restaurant popped up. I'm really intentional on places that I visit and this was a great place . Let me start by saying from the entrance until my departure. The ambience was great. I really appreciate it. The great service. My surname was Lala and she was amazing. She made me the best coffee I have ever had in so long and the food was amazing. I would definitely go back here. She did inform me that they will be having a karaoke starting on Thursdays and this place is definitely a great date night or a gathering spot very calm and really nice place to dine in it was raining that day so I was really able to relax and unwind and have a great bite to eat. The music was amazing and the atmosphere gave love love love

    If my bill for just me wasn't $98 with tip I may have given 3 stars but with the big price tag on mediocre food, one star is for my server Nadia, and the other is for effort. The grits were under cooked. $7.00 for two greasy pieces of bacon is just wrong! The drink was mid for $18 dollars. I wasn't a fan of the texture of the pancakes but the star of the show was the deviled eggs, unfortunately that was all I enjoyed. Overall I give this place a 3 out of 10 ‍

    I came here for brunch after church with some friends and was happy with my visit. The staff was short this day and seating was limited. We did have a long wait time but the staff on shift still did what they could to accommodate my group of 4. We also had time and did not mind waiting to be seated. The owner even came out to apologize and thank us for our patience. The restaurant is upstairs and has a loft type of layout. There was good music playing that made you want sing and vibe along. We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer. Large shrimp. Great flavor. For an entree my partner in crime and i had the Jerk Chicken Pasta and the Shrimp n Grits. Very nice flavors. Large portions 10/10 would recommend :)

    Absolutely was love at first bite. Everything was delicious! The deviled eggs with shrimp were packed with soo much flavor. best deviled eggs ive had. I got the chefs French toast sandwich, presentation was beautiful and the dish was very tasty, the perfect balance of sweet and savory! The BLT sandwhich was also worth it and the way they cook their turkey bacon is like none other! Highly recommend! 5 stars all the way!

    Ok I only have pictures of my drink because the food looked so good. I dug right in. It was a cute little vibe. All the staff was super friendly, especially the bartender. I had pancakes, which were nice and fluffy, and scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese grits. And I ate every bite! Perfect little brunch spot.

    Absolutely love this place. We went on a Sunday for early breakfast (10:30am). We were seated right away. It's a cute small brunch spot. Very quiet. The food was good and well seasoned. I love they had the option of regular bacon and turkey bacon. The waitresses were very attentive and helpful. If you're looking for a good tasty (non lit) brunch spot try out love at first bite!

    We arrived around a good brunch time (11:00am) so parking was easy. They're sharing a space so we had to go up some stairs to access the restaurant. There is a nice seating area outside the restaurant if there is a wait. We had a reservation so we were greeted and seated as soon as we entered. The decor is really nice and the music was vibin. We had a great waitress and the manager was helpful with assisting us. There was some confusion or miscommunication with speciality items not on the menu and pricing. If the blueberries in the pancakes is an extra cost make customers aware. I also ordered a mimosa flight and I expect the mimosas to come in the traditional champagne flute but it didn't and I guess that's my fault for expecting that. Overall the food was really delicious and the portions are decent for the price. I will definitely be back the food is worth it! Check out my pics and until next time SYOY!

    Stellar service and delicious food. I especially appreciate the little touches in the presentation of the food and drinks such as the heart accented toothpicks. The interior was cute and cozy. I will definitely be a retuning customer.

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.

The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.
