I have been here a few times. My husband often picks this location for special anniversaries. We…read morewent there last night to celebrate our recent union. For drinks I had the Not so French 76 and it was really tasty. I stuck with that for the night. To start we ordered the Lobster Rolls and the HAMACHI CRUDO. Both were delightful! For dinner we had the WESTHOLME WAGYU CUTS, THE GARDEN SALAD and WAGYU Pasta. They had a live dj and the vibes were pretty chill per usual. Talia was our waitress and she was on it the entire night!

We booked a month in advance with high expectations, but unfortunately, the Garden Room proved to…read morebe a case of "all flash and no substance." While the space is undeniably beautiful and great for photos, the actual dining experience was deeply underwhelming. The Service: Our waitress was incredibly pretentious and snobby. She actually refused to let us order certain items because she "didn't recommend them" and was completely inflexible regarding simple spirit substitutions in the signature cocktails. The Food: The $75 tableside carbonara was overly salty and lacked any sense of refinement. The lobster roll was even more disappointing--mushy, flavorless, and contained very few actual chunks of lobster. After those dishes, we decided to skip the fish entree entirely. The Value: The "best" part of the meal was the bread, which felt like it should have been a table complimentary, but instead cost $10 for a few slices. For a $300+ bill, you expect quality that matches the price. The Atmosphere: Once you look past the initial "wow" factor, you realize the floral decor is largely fake, which mirrors the feel of the service. We had fun laughing at how ridiculous the situation was, but we won't be returning. My advice: Stop acting like a world-class establishment until the cuisine and service actually justify the attitude.

From the first phone call with incredible Jules, I knew we had selected the perfect place for such a special celebration! The care, attention to detail and the personalization that Jules provided gave me such confidence that even though I live out of town, I know the day was going to be perfect. The morning of the Baby Brunch, I walked in to to see the gorgeous white trees with beautiful pink up lights and the entire room filled with beauty. From the perfectly arranged set up to the sun streamed room to the amazing and bountiful Brunch Selections, it just all was pure joy! I must also commend the extremely professional and attentive staff, Elijah C, Precious C and Lauryn P who truly made the day one that none of us will ever forget! Thank you all so much, I truly wouldn't change a single thing! Pure "LOVE" just like it says on the outside of the restaurant!

We ordered the bottomless mimosas, and they kept them coming without us having to ask. The service was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. For my meal, I ordered the lamb burger with fries. The burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. The fries were crispy, fresh, and the perfect side to complement the meal. Between the delicious food, excellent service, and energetic brunch atmosphere, I can definitely see why this spot is so popular. If you're looking for a place to enjoy brunch, celebrate with friends, or simply unwind over great food and bottomless mimosas, 5Church is worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! Valet was free this was on Saturday after 12 pm

Very clean & vibey spot; the decor is very cute and cozy, they dim the lights after a certain time I'm assuming, loved it. Definitely have to come back and try other items out. Here's what we ordered: * braised short ribs - strong 7/8, i didn't like the veggies as much but flavor wise, very yummy. * honey roasted chicken - oouuu, a very strong 8/9, the sauce was amazing; veggies, everything was sooooo yum. * Caesar salad - strong 7/8 (wish it was more but we did split 1 just to try it out first) * Mac & cheese - the only item we did not like 1 bit. Dry, cold and no flavor :( * sweet & spicy Brussels - strong 8/9, they weren't spicy at all but the sauce was yummy! * drinks - GREAT! Strong 8/9 for both 1) cherry limeaid (no alcohol) 2) obsession (with alcohol) Great experience, Destiny was really great.

Soft music and excellent service. The entire staff was so accommodating and the vibes were really good. The food was disheartening to say the least. While the short rib was cooked well the flavors were horrible. The food lacked seasoning and the purple sauce just wasn't it. The other patrons of my party didn't say anything about their food but no one finished and no one asked for a to go box. Also the food came out near room temperature... Parking was slightly difficult and in some lots you have to pay. There's nothing convincing me to come back.

Since we'd already been to Lazy Betty twice, it was hard not to compare the experiences. Very…read moresimilar concepts, although I'll say that if Lazy Betty was a five-star experience, Atlas should probably be six, if that were a thing. The courses were bigger, the techniques and ingredients were more inventive, some of the cocktails cost hundreds of dollars due to rare/aged spirits, and the overall experience was more high-end. However, the cost is also greater and it also came across as slightly pretentious, which is great if that's your vibe. For the record, I'd pick Lazy Betty any day of the week. We were there in March so the winter menu was in effect -- unfortunately can't see those offerings online anymore as they have transitioned to the spring menu. The things that stood out to me that I still recall a few months later: 1) I thought I hated beets my entire life until I had whatever they served me, which was pure heaven. I believe it was some kind of beet gazpacho which sounded horrid but thankfully I stretched my limits to try it and am happy I did. 2) I don't care for sweetbreads or duck. Although not advertised as an option, they were able to sub out each of those courses for something else, which I did enjoy (one of them was their take on "green eggs and ham") 3) I got full somewhere in the middle and ended up having to box up the dessert to go, because I thought I was going to puke if I ate one more thing. Like Lazy Betty, service was extraordinary. Our main waitress was attentive without being annoying. I'd disclosed at the time of making the reservation that my bf was celebrating a birthday and each staff member with whom we interacted expressed their well wishes and made it a special experience. Everyone who brought out and explained the dishes did so with pride and gusto. The ambiance was dark/moody and felt more private, especially because they'd given us a large U-shaped corner booth. Things that had nothing to do with the restaurant that affected my overall impression: 1) Atlas is located inside a hotel which is just a pain. Once you enter the hotel, it's not very clear where you are supposed to go to access the restaurant. We accidentally stood in line for a few minutes at whatever was across the hall from the restaurant, thinking that was it. 2) It cost money to valet/park, so we figured we might as well just Uber there and home. The front of the hotel is a cramped disaster. 3) The bathrooms are not inside the restaurant, but are the general ones for the hotel. There was an attendant but nice touches like mouthwash and other amenities were not present. Definitely an experience for a special occasion, and worthy of accolades.

Years ago I'd have said Atlas was the only restaurant in Atlanta close to 2 stars. After my 2026…read morevisit, and having eaten at every starred restaurant in Atlanta and plenty beyond, I'd put them at the bottom of the 1-stars here. Kitchen feels stuck. Felt like the same opening bites as our last visit, same protein cooked and plated the same way, dessert felt like more of the same and the ferrero rocher fell flat. One course was sent out without description by design... But nobody ever came back to tell us what it was. Don't get me wrong - the food is great, but it's the same great it was years ago... Service was worse. THREE dead flies in my wine glass. Somm's response when I pointed it out: "what a waste of good wine." ...paired with the attitude of the Somms throughout the night - it didn't sit right. That was my final interaction with them that night and it left a lasting impression. More flies around the glassware all night. Water pours got crossed up more than once (sparkling refilled into tap glasses). These things shouldn't be happening at a restaurant of this caliber. At $1200 for 3 people, I'd expect more from a 1-star restaurant. I left feeling pretty disappointed compared to my first visit. I've had better food, service, and overall experience at other Atlanta 1-stars, and at plenty of places with no star at all. I'd pick any of them before going back unless Atlas makes some huge strides.

On a beautiful early summer day with warm sunshine and gentle breezes, it was a pleasure to sit at…read moreone of the outside patio tables, overlooking the colorful flower garden and the lazy river -with food and service that lived up to this restaurant's positive reputation and its 5 star reviews. Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

We were seated in a semi private room- intimate and quiet without feeling sealed off. - Service (4*) For the most part very professional. The early part was a little clumsy. One waitress delivered us drinks we didn't order. I didn't get a wine glass at first. A couple courses- we didn't get all our plates at same time and waited a bit for everyone to get their food. - Prix Fixe, $140pp - Crimson Orchard, $19 (5*) Beautiful cocktail. Serene just to look at. Even better to taste. Swirled it around my mouth. - Amuse (2*) Cold arancini and a lobster thing that didn't taste much of lobster with a stale tasting shell. Couldn't really have started with anything worse. Also, I would have preferred knowing that foie was part of the amuse. Would have skipped it (for ethical reasons). - Steak Tartare (5*) Beautiful presentation. And so tasty. The bulgur added some really cool texture to this. Super tasty overall. - Turbot (3*) Well cooked piece of fish overall. But I found the sauce to be pretty tasteless overall, and the tomatoes on the plate could have thus used some additional seasoning. - Tomato Side Dish (2*) Very odd inclusion. Also lacking flavor. Just didn't seem to fit the very deliberate prix fixe coursing? - Eggplant Side Dish (5*) While also an odd inclusion, this I at least found delectable. Nice crunch, and the poblano sauce was really good against the eggplant. - Stracciatella (4*) Odd presentation with maybe just a tad too much radicchio. Brave though! Never thought so much radicchio could be manipulated into such a tasty dish. It could have been torn into smaller pieces to make it easier to get bites of radicchio and stracciatella at the same time. I also didn't find the hazelnuts until the very end. - Soufflé (2*) Had such high hopes. They got the hard part right- good execution on the soufflé structure. So fluffy. But it was cloyingly sweet, even for someone like me who enjoys sweet. It tasted almost of cotton candy. I couldn't finish it. - Mignardise (4*) The madeleine kind of just tasted like Costco madeleines. But those chocolate truffles were so delicious. I ate three. - Value (4*) Pretty good value for inventive, Michelin rated food. Many places might charge much more. Didn't quite reach 5* for me because I found the execution lumpy. - Final Word A night of highs and lows. I would come back and order specific things à la carte again maybe. The highs were really high. The lows were really low. Makes it hard to judge this properly. Probably solidly a 3.5* but sadly rounding down to a 3* on account of so many lows.

For an appetizer, we got the mussels which were probably some of the best mussels I have ever had using the bread to soak up the sauce was divine. Truly delicious. For the pasta, I got the the tortelli de vitello which was so good. Some of us at the table also tried the shrimp linguine which was delicious and so fresh as well as the chicken parm which was MASSIVE and came with a great side of pasta. We also tried the little pasta shells/ears with sausage and broccolini and it was delish. Truly these dishes were stunning and cannot wait to have it again! To wrap up the dinner, we got some coffees and the tiramisu... Which was delicious and as stunning as everyone says. Overall, this meal was divine.
