I would say the one thing that is top tier here is the customer service. The first person I saw when I came inside was Bruce. He made me feel so welcome and he assisted me with information that I needed to get. Do the valet parking? Driving around in a parking garage trying to find a spot to park is exhausting. Most spots are labeled with the hotels logo so you can't park in those spots. The restaurant is like a tapas place (so it's small portions) The food is good but pricy I spent $40.00 alone on just food and I was still hungry. The rooftop part it self is very nice. We enjoy sitting outside, taking in the views. Overall we had a good experience. read more

Overstory Rooftop is on the 9th Floor of the Westin Hotel. The lights hanging created a lovely atmosphere and view as the sun was setting. The service was nice, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was good, each dish is quite memorable in its own way. Patacones (5/5) was my favorite. We also had the tostadas (2/5), anticuchos (3/5). The WAG burger (3.5/5) was definitely worth a try if you wanted something with a larger portion of food. read more

This place was a quick date idea and was a nice experience. We had reservations at 8:15 and arrived at 8:24 pm and almost lost our table but the nice hosts made it happen for us. It was a Friday evening so probably more busy than normal. The menu was a Spanish style but very limited items that you've never heard of. Fancy names for chicken kabobs and empanadas as well as no fish options. I feel like every restaurant needs salmon and veggie options that are not so mixed around. The empanadas were ordered and I was comfy with that since I've have had many empanadas in my life. And these were not good, they had plantain in them which made them overly sweet instead of of savory and the fancy named chicken kebabs came on a bed of what seemed to be wet ruffles. So it's a pretty place but menu was really lacking the basics. So, if I go back I will probably stick to drinks. read more

Pretty isn't everything. I came here with my boyfriend and his family for dinner, and was starving. This is definitely not the place for dinner. It's more tapas. Our server was super nice and the ambiance was pretty cool. It's situated in a new hotel the Westin up top with a good view. Other than that, I was sorely disappointed in the experience. First of all, they were out of so much stuff. I don't eat red meat, pork, none of that, so I chose the tuna. They were out. My other option was this fried plantain dish, but let me tell you...it's not real plantains like you imagine. It's literally the chips. No thanks. They were also out of every non alcoholic specialty drink they had listed in their menu. One of his family members ordered the empanadas and the server commented, good thing, you got the last one, then tells us later the kitchen is closing early because we ran out of so many things. And parking, valet is $10 unless you self park, and that's $10 if you're 2 hours or under. But weird, I see a review from 2 weeks ago saying valet was complimentary. I kind of wondered if the guy was trying to make money. We literally had to cash app him the 10 bucks. I ended up eating some yuca fries, which were okay, nothing I'd feel the urge to come again here for, in fact nothing would drive me to come here again period. read more

It was another girls night and this spot had the perfect ambiance to catch up and take Instagram worthy pics. I ordered the patacones appetizer and the coconut chicken curry, both were decent and reasonably priced. The mocktail however wasn't my favorite. It was a non-alcoholic take on a mojito with pineapple juice, but it tasted watered down and lacked sweetness or citrus flavor. Great service and overall I still highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Terrible experience. They say no athletic attire but a women dressed in athletic attire with no underwear on was walking all over the restaurant taking pictures of another women in front of all of our tables. Leaks in the roof dripping all over the floor. When speaking to the manger, his response was guests are allied to do whatever they want. Tables were dirty and not cleaned properly. This is not an upscale environment in any way, Will never return. Food was mediocre and certainly not worth the price. A fast food breakfast would have been better. read more

The hype about this place on social media was a total disappointment. Made reservations. We got there, and the table we were seated on was not cleaned (bread crumbs). We requested for the server to clean the table, and she forgot. Asked another server, and he didn't care. We got the manager involved, and he cleaned the table. We ordered PATACONES appetizer, which was good. For main course we ordered LOMO SALTADO. The food came after reminding the server ( 45 mins) and was cold. Clearly, they forgot about our order. OVERALL SERVICE SUCKS MANAGER NEEDS TO RAMP UP AND NEEDS MORE TRAINING. the 1 star is for the ambiance Definitely not returning... waste of money and time read more

Overstory Restaurant - Outside area - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

A bit loud but surprisingly comfortable. Prices are decent. Bartender is knowledgeable. Food was properly prepped and tasty! Closes early for a bar. Got the burger which was cooked properly- juicy and medium. Bars usually overcook most of their foods. Burgers typically come out either raw or well done. Overstory's burger was prepared medium and juicy. A bit messy to eat but damn tasty. For a late Friday evening, they did a great job on the food! Typically when I go to a bar, I very seldom order any of their featured cocktails. I like my cocktails complex and traditional. Surprisingly the bartender is well versed and did well at crafting my cocktail. It's was missing the traditional lemon peel but the cocktail was on par with other establishments of this nature. Overall this place is not bad for a hotel rooftop bar. read more

My husband and I received excellent service from Nate and Alisha (bartenders) . Our drinks were well made and delicious! Alisha went above and beyond to make my husband's special request for his whiskey sour with egg whites. Not once but three times. She and Nate were professional, personable, kind and gave overall great service. The bar stayed busy and they kept up with a smile. Great customer service is rare these days. We really appreciate Nate and Alisha! Our empanadas with guacamole was delicious. We will definitely be back. Only issue we had was with the parking. There was a women requesting $5 to self park before entering the garage. Which then you had to pay another $20 to exit. I understand paying to leave the garage. I understand the $5 additional charge. Seems very odd. read more

This was definitely a hidden gem find for me. After seeing a reel about this place on Instagram I had initially thought it was in Atlanta. But as soon as I saw that it was in Duluth, down the street from my house, I grabbed my boyfriend and said let's go get some drinks! Upon arriving we did have to ask where it was located (on the 9th floor of the Westin) and once we arrived we were given the option to sit inside or outside. The outside set up was such a calming vibe. There were couples, girl groups, and adults that were there to look nice and wind down. The only down side was that it felt like it took FOREVER for a waiter to come to our table. I went to the bar to ask if anyone would be serving us soon and they arrived a couple minutes later. We ordered 2 drinks; Who Invited Becky & Margarita's Cousin, Maria. Both were mixed so beautifully and were light refreshing drinks. For food we tried the Empanadas & Wag Burger. Everything tasted DIVINE. I've been telling my friends all about it since I've gone and will definitely be back soon. read more

I don't like to post negative reviews, but this one was rough. Slow service, mediocre & overpriced food. I am usually very understanding because restaurant service is hard work and there can be bad nights. It happens. But this was an extreme level of bad. Also, I was overcharged and reached out to management after the fact to correct and was ignored/ blown off... One positive is that it is a beautiful space with a great "rooftop" and view, but even that wasn't enough to overcome the disappointment and frustration. I hope it gets better. read more

We made our way to overstory the other day located at the Westin near sugarloaf mills the Gwinnett arena. The Westin is awesome offering valet at a reasonable price and a self parking option. Overstory access is from the elevators in the far right of the lobby and you do need to show ID at the check in counter before getting on the elevator. The restaurant itself was very nicely appointed but because it was pretty busy our table wasn't the best configuration for our party. We were given a booth and had to add a chair to the outside to fit everyone even though we booked ahead with a reservation. This isn't a huge deal just could be slightly annoying. The restaurant was very good and service was excellent. Portions are small as this is mostly a place to hang out and have a few snacks so keep in mind that it may not be the best place to have dinner. Overall a really cool and welcome addition to the sugarloaf area. Will be back again soon. read more

Beautiful venue and views!! The staff was very friendly and took great care of us. They even moved our table outside when we requested since the weather was so nice. We ordered the PATACONES, AREPA, YUCA FRIES & idr the name of the Tuna chips (and they don't appear to be on the menu anymore online) but everything was delicious!!! Can't wait to come back to try the brunch menu!! read more

We had to try this new rooftop lounge in our backyard. I had read reviews prior to coming and all were stating food options are limited and not so great for the price. This is a great spot pre or post dinner. We came on Wed. and opted for dinner elsewhere in the area. The feel is upscale lounge. The view is beautiful on top of the Westin and the decor is giving beach oasis. Lots of seating both inside and outside. Full service inside. Make a reservation and coming later may help with crowd flow. Spacing between tables were adequate. The fountain and fire pit in the middle are the perfect photo backdrop and what's not to love about the elegant rooftop in the burbs. The music gave a classy vibe and the crowd was mature. I will try again on a weekend soon but definitely worth trying. We didn't eat , had a cocktail ( some of us did ). The weather was perfect and service was great. I will be back. read more

I think if I were to reframe this as a visit to an observation deck for $25 with one complementary drink, it would go over 1000% better. Out of the six people who worked at Overstory, zero asked me how I was how my day was going. I am really sorry, but I just don't understand the tipping starting at 22% isn't part of the tipping culture having overly friendly waiters? In Europe waiters are unfriendly, but they don't get tips. I don't understand why in the US, they are unfriendly but still prompt you for a 25% tip? read more

Very nice atmosphere, great vibes as well. My only issue is, there is no vegan friendly meals on the menu at all. This is surprising to me because this is a fairly new spot. It's 2025 and it is rare to not have at least one item on the menu that is plant based friendly for those who don't eat dairy or meat products. Most places usually make sure their menu suits everyone. Other than that the drinks were good and the ppl were nice as well. read more

Three stars for the view and the server we had because she was the absolute sweetest. The hostess stand girl made me a little uncomfortable about being late last night which is weird because I called ahead about being in traffic. The food really wasn't great. The drinks are good.

Here is an in depth review: Upon arrival it was easy to find. The Westin Hotel can be seen right off the exit. Park on deck 1 which will give you two hours of free parking and $5 after 2 hours which I felt was reasonable. You may also valet but that is an additional fee. Once you enter go past the front desk and take the elevator to the 9th floor. The upstairs area is a full 360 bar with ample indoor seating and views. The color scheme is rich green and luxe style. Depending on the weather the bar area opens out to the star of the show a beautiful wrap around rooftop bar area that includes two water fountains and two bar areas. The theme is definitely resort/Miami beach aesthetic. FYI it gets windy up there but the atmosphere is beautiful. The seating is set up for quaint conversations and smaller spots for more intimate dining. The architecture was done beautifully for this venue. The menu is small plates/tapas style. If you are looking to be full....go downstairs to the family restaurant because upstairs focus is views, libations and interactions. The food was more of an absorb the alcohol type of thing. I recommend the empanadas or the fried plantain dish. Drinks start around $11 and up so prepare your pockets. The have a nice lavender beverage that will run you around $16. You also can order from their full bar for your favorite liquor. As of this post no dj or live entertainment has been added but I would love to see a few live bands do some days there soon. This space has a lot of good bones to do some very profitable and fun events. Brunch I heard is coming the end of April for Sundays. My recommendations as a freelance planner: Add a happy hour Book a live band for a weekday evening Add a couple more items to menu (wings and a salad) Either use a QR code for the menu or laminate menus to prevent them from blowing away I have a few more but I'll see how things go Customer service was A plus all 3 times I went. Definitely recommend Darnell and Christina F as your servers. read more

Upon walking in, the decor and ambiance is beautiful. The view is amazing and the location is a plus. It gave Atlanta vibes without having to be in the city. The food wasn't bad, but it's not memorable. You're paying more for the ambiance in my opinion. Honestly, I'm not sure if the server was having a bad day or wasn't trained properly, but the service was not up to parr with the price we had to pay. When most of my party sat down, we weren't greeted for awhile and weren't given water until she greeted us, which took some time. Their auto gratuity is 22% which is higher than most restaurants. The issue isn't the auto gratuity but how bad the service was. Our server would often disappear and we would only see her a couple of times. She was not attentive and they weren't that busy. The runner dropped off the check for her when they brought the dessert. That is not proper service. I would only consider returning if the service improves. read more

Booked a table on patio outside. Waited to be seated even though there was no real crowd with lots of open seating.

If I could rate this place with zero stars I would. Let's get into the real reason why we are here today. So my partner made reservations for last night, and now I will give credit where credit is due. The atmosphere was 10/10 when you got on the elevator to head up to the 9th floor until you got outside to the rooftop to look at amazing views. But I think that's how they real you in, because after the sun went down that's when the customer service went down as well. As we were seated we waited 30 mins until our server reached our table, now keep in mind the number "30" so when she finally arrived she was not the friendliest type. She asked us what we wanted and we told her, she stated she would be back "30 mins later" She came back with our drinks and some water and left for an additional "30 mins" as we were done with our first round, I flagged down another young lady and asked for help and she stated "I am not your server" and walked off. All of a sudden our server came back like a magician out of a hat. She asked if "We would like another round" I was done and fed up my partner asked for another round and left again for "30 mins" Mind you the place was not packed at all maybe only 5 tables were occupied and the inside was a ghost town. She came back and at that point, we asked for the check and gave her our card. Guess how long she was gone? Yup "30 minutes" At this point, I get up and go looking for her and find her in the back corner near the kitchen on the phone yelling at someone on Facetime, so I asked for the manager his name is Chris G and I have yet to speak to that young man. She finally came back with no apologies no nothing she placed the check and the card on the table and walked off. After we made it back downstairs I stopped by the concierge to get the manager's name and email address to figure out, who thought it was ok to treat paying customers like that. read more

The atmosphere is such a vibe but it was a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Ordered our first round of drinks and server spilled them all over my pants and the table. She apologizes, and leaves one drink on the table that she just spilled the other drink into it and you can visibly tell. I had to ask her for a new drink and she acted weird about it like she didn't just spill a whole drink into it. She comes back with Clorox wipes and wipes all the drink off the table getting more on my shoes, hands me two Clorox's for my pants and leaves me sitting in a puddle of French 75. Doesn't offer to move us, someone else working there offered to move us and she was super nice. Then we move to a new table and someone else walks up saying we need to move because someone reserved this table. I had to tell her that we have reservations and got moved because our server spilled our drinks. She walked away but overall I had a really bad experience here, it was hectic and not relaxing at all like I hoped. I went to my concert with wet pants and sticky shoes for $45. read more

So.. I'll start by saying that, the hotel itself is exactly what you're looking for as a quiet clean get away with plenty of features to keep you occupied. Customer service was all around perfect. Now to the Rooftop "restaurant" & bar.. Overstory..... Well, I completely understand what they were going for. Cool idea, great intent. 50% will enjoy it, the other 50% will be disappointed. Not even close to the hype we saw. Go with no expectations and you MIGHT enjoy it. We ARE South American and travel quite often. The food was the part that disappointed us the most. I get it.. it's "fusion" they went for... I just didn't see it. The customer service at the Rooftop was extremely subpar. For the kind of clientele they are trying to attract, we were not pleased. It wouldn't keep me away from the hotel and all of its other amenities though! read more

Visited the rooftop after a couple weeks of its opening - it's absolutely gorgeous! It's on top of a hotel and the aesthetics are visually pleasing. I could tell that as a recently opened restaurant, they are still getting their footing. They seemed to still be stocking the rooftop bar, and when we asked for a particular bottle of champagne they seemed unsure if they had it in house. After about 20 minutes of looking, they realized they did not, and we ordered a different bottle. Most of the waiters seemed clearly overworked and stressed, you could also tell they were trying to get their footing and establish a rhythm as a staff. We stopped several people to ask questions and many of them seemed a bit confused. Despite this, our waiter was amazing! In the midst of her doing 10 things at once, she stopped and had a full blown conversation with us. The food was mostly okay. The mini tacos had good flavor, but the yuca fries and plantains could have used more. After waiting an extended time for empanadas I realized they were not worth ordering and barely ate them. They were not good. I would love to come back and visit when Overstory has a bit more time and experience under their belt, hopefully they can find their footing and create a stable environment. I am looking forward to when they begin to serve brunch, but will wait at least a couple of months to hope they work out any kinks.

I came here as a pre birthday and the ambiance is very nice. It's clean and definitely a great spot for pictures. The music isn't too loud which I really like not having to scream across the table. However, I will say there were some things I would change. For one don't expect to come here and get full it's definitely a small plate place and I mean small which is no problem that's their vibe. Second, I came with a party of 4 and the food came out pretty late about 40minutes from when we ordered and it was cold . One person in our party didn't get her food at all and waited over 30 minutes after everyone's food was done not even serviced but when everyone was done eating . But ending on a good note our server was nice (Chris G) and he tried his best to make up for the mishap and he made our drinks and it was spot on shout out to him. I would recommend this place for a quick stop for drinks but as far as food not really worth the price honestly. I would give this place a 2.5 but I'll give it a 3 for Chris G!! This place really has some great potential I plan trying again in a few months. read more

This was my first time at overstory and it was a last minute thing (we didn't have reservations) but we went early enough to where I thought it would be okay. The server sat us down in like a corner on the side, where you couldn't see any of the view before asking if this was OK she just walked away so we didn't even sit down and we went back and got her and we're asking if there's any tables available like in the main outdoor area and she said no and walked away again, so then we went back and were like are the chairs by the fire pit reserved and she said no so we ended up sitting there. We were only planning on staying for a drink and the place was almost empty other than a few people so I don't understand why no one was trying to be accommodating on sitting us where we wanted. None of the reserved tables even got sat the entire time we were there. On the other hand the view was really pretty, the drinks were strong and not expensive and we ended up having a great time. This place would be off the charts if they could work on the service aspect. read more

This was the number one spot on my summer bucket list of rooftop restaurant. I live two hours outside of Atlanta as well as other one other person in our party of four. Reservation was made. My initial cocktail was taken back due to the undesirable taste. In my 20 years of drinking (41 years old), I have NEVER sent or complained about a cocktail. It took WELL over 40 minutes for me to get another cocktail or any cocktail for the table. One cocktail arrived at our table with lipstick and other residue on the glass. (Was told that the manage would not comp the drink) It took well over an hour to get entrees. The restaurant was not packed. This was the WORST experience I have EVER had at any restaurant. We were there for over 3 hours due to delays in service. Beautiful restaurant. read more

I am actually at the restaurant right now with a birthday party and we had reservations. The hostess gave us an option of seating inside or outside. She gave us a table then here comes the manager giving us bogus reasons of why we can't have these areas. There is no one here at the restaurant at this time and you would think he would have accommodated us. The sections that were denied are still empty at this moment. I cannot really enjoy the ambiance because the management set the tone with such negative energy. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Sooooo awful! We were there for a happy hour and only got one drink because it took so long. Then we asked if we could split the tab and they said that they were unable to do that. I would understand if we were a large party, but there was three of us. Our server seemed like she wanted nothing to do with us and honestly, I will never be back. It's such a shame because the space is absolutely beautiful and I would hang out here frequently if it was a better vibe. read more
