We've visited Atlanta many times over the years when our son was younger and we had already done…read moremost of the typical tourist activities. This trip was actually our first time visiting without him so we were a little lost about what to do next. LOL. We had gone to a cafe earlier in the day but it was still too early for dinner so we kept searching for something interesting to do. That's when my husband found Distillery of Modern Art. I wasn't really in the mood for drinking during the day so I wasn't sure at first but I'm so glad we went! We had never heard of a combination of a distillery and an art gallery before which immediately caught our attention. It looked like the space is used for a variety of events as well. Since we visited during Mother's Day weekend, there was a flower arrangement workshop happening in one of the rooms when we arrived. The bar area was very spacious with plenty of seating and since it was our first visit, we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the different liquors they produce. My husband sampled their rye whiskey, gin, and Amaro Peach. I'm usually not much of a gin fan but theirs was exceptionally smooth and I actually enjoyed it. Amaro tends to be quite bitter but their Amaro Peach had a really nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. I ordered the Ocean Eyes cocktail which features their Amaro Peach and it was excellent. The bartender also made his own special version of a classic cocktail for my husband (I forgot the name!) and he really enjoyed it. What stood out most was how friendly and passionate the bartender was. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and honestly, he made the experience even more enjoyable for us. We had such a great visit that my husband ended up bringing home bottles of their gin and Amaro Peach. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Atlanta!

The art exhibit part…read moreof the distillery was nice too They rotate their drink menu, I think they said it was every season? We tried 3-4 drinks (I only took pics of 2). The ube drink is excellent, not super sweet but you can taste the ube flavor and the end is a citrus note which is nice. The other 2 drinks we had were ordered off menu after we explained to the bartender some of taste preferences. The Singapore sling was excellent as well as the other one he made. You can tell that they really care about their craft and are wanting to experiment with different flavors! It was nice being able to sit at the bar and chat as well

They've switched to valet parking only, or at least for the event I went to. It was $15 but they say you can park for free at the Walmart down the road.

It's definitely an adult setting with a good mix of ages, so there's something for everyone. One thing I really appreciated is that this is a smoke-free establishment, so we can breathe easy! Now, the mocktails... Save your $12. We ordered all three, and unfortunately, none of them really stood out. The food truck also wasn't out on this particular night, so I didn't get to try the food. Overall, though, I had a great experience and would definitely return. I may have to come back for Salsa Night because I'm curious to see how those vibes are!

She knew the menu and was able to make great recommendations. Great reviews on the flavor of the food all around. The salmon dish was said to be excellent. Looked like the Chicken Fried Chicken was very good as well. My wife really liked her salad and the sauce for the Grilled Spanish Octopus had a great taste, but the Octopus was a bit overcooked. I had the Shrimp and Grits, which were excellent. The fresh off the cob corn was a twist I hadn't experienced before and it was a great addition. The shrimp was fully shelled, so I wasn't digging around and pulling off tails. The sauce, chipotle butter was insane, I could have had a cup of it and wanted more. I also got a side of the fried Brussels, great move by me. Great place!

Lunch with my wife on her birthday…read more She: fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, glass of white wine. Me: deviled eggs, Cuban sandwich with mac & cheese side, Schwartzbier lager. Appetizers were very good. She didn't care for the shrimp (a bit spicy, so we took it home for tomorrow's lunch. While the sandwich was good, it didn't seem like an authentic Cuban. Pulled pork filling. I took half of it and the mac&cheese home. Beer was very good; I hadn't heard of it before. It's from Milwaukee. Went to Laylo after for dessert/ $90 with tax and tip. It's a Resy restaurant, so I paid with Amex plat to get the credit. Excellent server.

Quick heads up for anyone…read moreordering the French dip, they ask if you want fries or chips and don't mention there's a $3 upcharge for the fries, so that caught me off guard. Pricing overall is steep for lunch, $17 for the sloppy joe and $24 for the French dip. I also added two THC cocktails at $24, so we're talking a $75 lunch. Also a little odd, the receipt states if you leave without signing it they'll add a 20% service charge on top. Wasn't expecting that. Food-wise it was fine. The French dip has a strong smoky flavor which was a different take on it. The sloppy joe lived up to its name, extremely sloppy. Overall it was an okay lunch, nothing spectacular for the price point.

I wholeheartedly wish I could give this place 10 stars! I discovered Piraye Kitchen because my…read morefiancée sent me a Facebook video of their massive meat pie. The second I saw it, I didn't care about the price -- I knew I wanted it, so I planned us a date night. When we arrived, there was a birthday party going on, and I asked the maître d' if they were limiting seating because of the event. He didn't quite understand me, so my fiancée just asked for a table for two, and we were seated quickly. The setup was nice, although I'm personally not a fan of pre-set plates and glasses on tables (you never know how long they've been sitting there). Still, our server was fantastic -- attentive, helpful, and made the night smooth. We came for the famous Piraye Kebab Tray. At first, we were looking at the $165 option (Chef Tray + 1 Meze Board + Shepherd Salad + 4 Orders of Piraye Kebab with rice, all baked inside the dough). When we mentioned the price, our server kindly told us about the smaller 2-order option for $85 -- perfect! And let me tell you, Lord above, when I say I would do some things to eat this food again... words cannot describe how incredible it was. It has been three days since, and I'm still thinking about it. I even posted it on my stories, and over 10 people have messaged me asking about it. Chef Tray: Overflowing with juicy, flavorful meat, perfectly seasoned rice with chickpeas (I swear it was made with veal stock), and that roasted pepper and cheese-stuffed dough on top -- divine. Meze Board: The hummus was creamy and rich, paired perfectly with fresh pita. Shepherd Salad: Fresh, crisp, and balanced. My only small regret was that our server misunderstood when we asked for the dough crust to-go -- I realized the next day it wasn't packed up. Honestly though, I couldn't even be upset, because the food was just that good. For drinks and dessert: Turkish Coffee - small but strong, beautifully presented with a piece of Turkish delight on the side that was everything I had ever imagined a Turkish sweet to be: chewy, fragrant, and delicately sweet. Künefe - a dream come true! A warm, crunchy pastry with gooey melted cheese inside, topped with sweet syrup and pistachios. It was rich, nutty, and sweet without being overwhelming -- the perfect ending. Turkish Martini - decent, but not nearly as memorable as the food. All together, including tip, it was about $140. For the amount and quality of food, the attentive service, and the one-of-a-kind experience, it was absolutely worth every single cent. Piraye Kitchen isn't just dinner -- it's an experience. This is a must-try-before-you-die type of place. Oh, and happy birthday, Amy!

So this spot has parking available on the street and in the parking structure not too far across the street. But it's all free so it's not a big deal. But you basically have to park on the side street which is not an issue. They have a pretty good wine selection, and the bar looks really good and very well kept. When we got there? We decided at a table and we were greeted immediately. It was super cool, they kept checking on us and make sure we were okay. Customer service was top notch. Mosaic smash burger - The burger was pretty good. It wasn't super big but it had a pretty good flavor to it. Chicken wings (k pub) - The chicken wings were good. They were really big and you got a lot of them. You know how you go to some place and you get those little wingdings, this wasn't that! You got very Hardy and meaty wings. And for the price it was pretty good too. Crispy calamari - was also decent. The sauce that they had the calamari with was very sweet and savory and it was very tasty overall. Pub fries - The pub fries were okay. They were just regular fries to me. But The fact that they had the dipping sauce on them different, but they were just regular fries. Overall, this is a pretty decent spot, it's a neighborhood bar type of situation. You'll see a lot of locals there because of where it's located at. If you want to try something good and have a decent environment and maybe watching TV on with a game on, this might be a decent spot to check out.

It was a Wednesday night and still bustling, so we waited about 45 minutes, but it worked out perfectly because the rest of our party arrived right when our table was ready. From there, we had a great server named Grace (I think), and she was really pleasant and attentive. I had hot sake and the red snapper crudo before experiencing the best type of analysis paralysis over the large selection of rolls. So many of them sound DELICIOUS and there truly is something for everyone. A Star Is Born Roll is a GREAT choice, but the Devil Roll and Fantasy Roll were also good. That roll list alone ensures I'll have to come back and try more. Already planning my next visit!

Atrocious experience this Saturday 4/25/26…read more We were actually over at sweet hut around 9pm and decided to check out Sapphire Karaoke since they were close by. At 9:26pm, we sent 2 people from our group of 6 to go by Sapphire to see if they had availability for us. The manager told them "yes, we will have a room in 5 minutes" so the rest of our group showed up excited and ready to karaoke. We waiting patiently 10-15 minutes and the manager came by again with "I'm sorry but someone messed up reservations and we won't have a room until 10pm". It was 9:44 pm at this point. The manager could tell we were about to leave and she comes back and says "oh good news, this group is checking out now. I'll have a room ready in 10 minutes". 2 from our group couldn't wait longer so they left. The rest of us decided to wait and got 2 bottles of Soju. It's $15 a bottle and THEY WILL CHARGE YOU A NON OPTIONAL GRATUITY so keep that in mind if you want to leave a tip, it's additional. Our total for the soju ended up averaging $20 a bottle. I asked the manager at 10pm what's going on and she just cuts me off and keeps walking with a "hold on". 10:15pm rolls around and the manager was no where to be seen. At this point we have been waiting 45 minutes with no updates when the original wait quote was FIVE minutes. We saw 3-4 parties come in and get seated. I'm not sure what kind of business they're trying to run but we sure felt BAMBOOZLED out of $50 for 2 bottles of soju and wasted 45 minutes of our time. They clearly have to figure out their scheduling/reservation system if the staff are making multiple errors. Don't lie to patrons that you have a room available when you don't. This felt like the equivalent of an overbooked/oversold flight and they were hoping they could get more clients to cover no shows- at least be honest and say we were on a waitlist.

The interior has an open concept - cool to see in open view the whole kitchen. Fresh seafood and sushi. All made/prepped in house. The hand rolls were great, as well as shrimp roll, which had interesting curry fries that came along it, which I thought was nice. I didn't try any of the noodle type dishes so can't comment on those. I enjoyed it! However.... The dessert was horrible. Overpriced gas station dessert (actually, gas station dessert is probably better and cheaper). All brought in from an outside commercial vendor/wholesaler (confirmed upon asking). Specifically, I ordered 2 desserts: one resembling something like a creme brûlée and one that was a layered chocolate cake/tart. Both were shockingly bad, and you don't want that especially after a good meal. Maybe they were old? Regardless, either don't serve any of these desserts, or offer like 2 options that are made in house.
