I had heard about Spring from friends who are deep in the Cobb County restaurant scene, and I had been to Marietta Square a few times, but this was my first time at the restaurant and even on this specific block. Had a lovely time. We got a cocktail before we came at Third Door...took a shortcut through Hansell St, walked through the tiny but charming Church Street Park, and ultimately landed at our (mostly) nondescript location of Spring. Note that this is the "original"...not the more casual (but supposedly great) 2nd branch location. Service is welcoming immediately upon arrival. It is a small venue with a limited number of tables. Essentially the size of a living room. It is also a minuscule menu...but curated with care and delivered with diligence. Please note that I would recommend trying a wine glass or two from the available selection. They put thought into the list of options, so I think you can't go wrong, and you can certainly ask about what flavor profiles you'd like as the team is quite knowledgeable. We enjoyed the Domaine Terrebrune and the Pinot Noir, but I'm sure all the wines are wonderful. Food was awesome as well. Really loved their rendition of an Andalusian soup (ajo blanco...think of it as equivalent to a white gazpacho) and the foamy garlic cream laden pasta. Would also recommend the grilled grouper and asparagus salad with salmon on the side. We also enjoyed all three desserts, though we overestimated our appetite by the end of the dinner! read more

Spring opened a limited number of weekends while they're renovating, and I immediately booked a table. I found some lovely friends to go with, and we ordered almost everything on the menu and shared it all. This is the right way to eat here. We ordered second rounds of the tuna and the foie Gras parfait. I usually hate foie Gras, but here it was incredible. I can't wait for them to officially reopen in the new space. It will be on my regular rotation then! read more

Everything we ordered was delicious and love the Asian/korean inspired influences within some of the dishes. One caveat, our wagyu had a tendon that was left in the meat that took a lot away from the tenderness we were expecting. The servers were all kind and very attentive. The restaurant was cozy but each table still felt intimate and despite all the tables being filled it wasn't too loud but still felt like our conversations were private. read more

The spot in Marietta for a special occasion! This is the only restaurant in Marietta that is Michelin recommended. The restaurant exterior is unassuming and tucked away a bit in the square, and the interior is small but welcoming. We started with the peach and perilla salad ($19) and this was vibrant and refreshing. My husband tried the sweet corn cappelletti ($39) and I tried the roasted wagyu picanha ($54). The meat was tender and delicious. We loved the emphasis on seasonality in the menu and the service is impeccable. Excited to return for future special occasions! read more

Very small space service is the only thing that stopped this from being 1 star. We ordered the majority of the menu 8 different offerings $280 later and there were only 2 dishes that stood out, and what was missing from this being a 5/5 review was salt. Extremely under seasoned. I'd reached out directly to them before leaving this review thinking they'd fix it and all I got was a we will address it with our staff and hope to serve you again email. If I wanted to blow $300 for a mediocre meal I'll just go to Chuck E. Cheese with the kids. At least there would be some salt. I mean even the whip cream with the hazelnut pie was bland. read more

We went to Spring for a date night last week and I'm not 100% sure we will return? Some of the food was absolutely delicious...some was just ok. I will say that I could have eaten a giant bowl of the tuna tar tar. Beautifully executed- So flavorful. The homemade sourdough bread and butter was memorable but the lamb was way too salty ( and I love salt) The size of the halibut that I got on my plate was the size of the scallop it was paired with, while the gentleman next to us was served the same dish and his halibut was 4 times the size. ??? It was very good though. The casual atmosphere was a surprisingly basic but i guess the service was what surprised us the most. Everyone was nice and but definitely not the level of service we have come to find every other Michelin restaurant we have been to. Anyway-a nice (expensive) date night on the Marietta Square. . read more

My partner and I had a wonderful experience at Spring on Saturday evening. The restaurant had a modern contemporary design, warm lighting, and a minimalistic atmosphere. It was small and intimate, creating the perfect setting for a Michelin-starred experience. Josh our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive, the decor and ambiance were perfect, the food was excellent and the presentation was immaculate. Both owners were kind and even brought out our dessert: a yummy-filled cruller with cherry almond ice cream and olive oil cake with chantilly frosting and strawberries. It was exquisite. read more

Delicious food! Really enjoyed the grouper dish. That being said, a few things were off: - Pacing. We waited a little bit too long for our server to greet us and then waited a little bit too long between courses. We actually were a little bored. We ended up not ordering dessert because we weren't sure how long it would take and didn't want to be waiting around. - There is a door that opens outward right near the entrance and a busy hallway. I saw a woman get hit really hard with the door when a server was coming out. They are closing for renovations soon so hopefully they will address this! - Our server corrected my wife about the wine menu in a way that made her feel a bit awkward. read more

Spring - Grouper - New American Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Based on the wonderful reviews I read and my excitement for visiting Spring on our 37th wedding anniversary, my husband & I must have had the "once in a while" disappointing customer experience plagued by all fine restaurants. Our waitress was polite; however, did not offer an explanations for any of the unique menu options. If we wanted to learn more about a particular item on the menu we had to ask. Secondly, we both ordered the grouper main course. The fish was excellent until two of my bites had that "fishy" taste. Celebrating our anniversary we were anticipating dessert. The choices were an interesting rice pudding, strawberries & cream or a hazelnut chocolate dessert. We were excited about trying the rice pudding until our waitress informed us that it was "sold out." It was only 7:45 p.m. I do not like hazelnut and we eat strawberries & cream often at home so we skipped dessert. We each then received a small square gummy sprinkled in a spicy powder kin to a chili lime seasoning w a small candle and told "Happy Anniversary." I personally was insulted by that gesture after 37 years of marriage. The gummy was horrible tasting and I could not swallow it. We joked about a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary and not being able to chew the gummy with their dentures! The pate starter was excellent; I just wish the rest of the experience was as delightful. read more

This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. The space is small and intimate. When the staff brings the food to the table, they are very descriptive in the way they describe the dishes. The service is impeccable, and they are always extremely attentive. I went with two friends and we ordered everything on the menu and split it all. Honestly, the best dining experience I've had in the last year. read more

I've heard great things about Spring and the moment I found out they received a star from Michelin this year, I knew I needed to book a reservation. Spring is tucked away in Marietta Square; find Thaicoon and it's just behind it. It's a very small restaurant, maybe 15 tables if that. It's cozy, but felt as if the ambiance didn't match the wonderful food served because the space felt outdated. Staff is very professional and inviting. My husband wanted to get wine and our server was knowledgeable with their extensive wine list. He was so knowledgeable that we thought he was the sommelier (maybe he was, we never found out really). Service was exceptional. As a fine dining restaurant, plates/silverware were cleared after every course and our tables were cleared right away. Our water glasses were always topped. We didn't wait long in between courses either. Once our drinks were served, we ordered our food for the night. My husband and I shared the lamb tartare (lamb was served in thin strips with perilla leaves and julienned vegetables with chili oil and aioli) and persimmon salad (so refreshing with a big chunk of cheese; great fall salad). They also brought out a sourdough bread basket with butter topped with salt and herbs - this was so good! For entrees, I ordered the cappelletti and my husband, then halibut. The cappelletti was like a warm hug in a bowl - it was creamy, sweet from the corn, cheesy. My husband enjoyed the fish but he wished it had a different sauce and the oyster was not necessary. This was served with pasta and the pasta itself had a nice chew. Don't skip out on dessert either! We got the sorbet and tres leches - best part of the meal. Tres leches tasted like banana pudding but nevertheless, so good and a great way to end a wonderful meal. read more

I'm always weary when a rest't gets a Michelin star. Like is it just fancy food or is it really good? I need to have realistic expectations before I go there. I'm happy to report back that this place earned their star! We had a 8:15pm reservation but arrived late bc we were walking around the whole square looking for it (it's basically next to the train tracks). But the staff was so kind and professional about it. The rest't has last seating at 9pm. Chef Brian So runs a tight ship w a professional staff and an award winning menu. Everything was delicious! A gem for the city. Michelin star well deserved! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Anniversary occasion at the Spring Restaurant in Marietta was a success. Excellent food and service. We started with a crusty artisan bread with an amazing butter that was blended with herbs and salt. I could have made a meal of just the bread it was so tasty. The beet and fig salad was refreshing and light. Next we chose the Ajo Blanco a cold soup with sliced grapes and a delicious whitish base. Hard to describe adequately but suffice it to say very refreshing. My wife had the Cappelletti, which after tasting it I wanted more and will order it when we next go back. The pasta was so light and the sauce delicate and creamy. I had the flatiron steak medium rare that was cooked perfectly. This cut of beef is usually not as tender as others but surprisingly the chef at Spring did his/her magic and delivered a flavorful and very tender entree. For desert we had the lemon tart and rice pudding. With a cup of very nice coffee (Cool Beans) it was the perfect end to an amazing meal. The server Josh did a great job. Attentive but not overly obvious. Good job to all. The menu changes so I included a picture of it. Very small menu but excellently done. I would recommend checking out the menu prior to going to ensure the offerings were agreeable. The train going past the restaurant added a nostalgic element but may be seen by others as loud. I did not and enjoyed experience. read more

Party of 2 visited for dinner on Saturday evening in October 2024. The interior is simplistic but cozy. Saw a lot of couples and a birthday celebration. During our visit, the train passed by 2 times which was unique but it wasn't too disruptive. I had the GOLDEN BEET & FIG SALAD as the starter which was delicious but the balsamic vinaigrette was a bit too acidic in my humble opinion. I literally had tears coming out of my eyes due to this. I'd use a different one. My husband had the POTAGE PARMENTIER and said he really enjoyed it. We both had the PAN-ROASTED HALIBUT and truly enjoyed it. Our waiter Josh was very informative and suggested we try the CARNAROLI RICE PUDDING. So I got that as dessert and my husband had the LEMON TART. The pudding was the best part of dinner. My husband was soo jealous of my dessert and ordered another one for himself to go. It was to die for. (Thank me later) I really enjoyed dining at this place. Josh was polite and the right amount of friendly. I just wish they had a full bar which we learned that is coming sometime in summer 2025. Cheers! read more

We have a wonderful experience at spring this week. Wish I had looked at yelp bc it is hard to find and our gps was a bit off but staff was great about us being a bit late. The menu is small and we had 2 apps (leek soup, persimmon salad), 2 entrees (gnocchi and grouper) and tarte tatin for dessert. It was all super tasty and the service was top notch. Wine list is small but had a nice selection of glasses and bottles. Overall we both remarked how great a trip this was. Highly recommend read more

Been to Spring twice now and had an amazing experience each time. The restaurant has a more casual vibe than other Michelin restaurants I've been to which was refreshing. The waitress was super friendly and answered all of our questions about the restaurant, menu, pacing etc. Each dish was incredibly unique and addictive, we especially loved the chicken liver and foie gras parfait. This place definitely deserves their star. Can't wait to go back to try their seasonal menus. read more

The parking is a bit tricky with this restaurant. We accidentally get in a Marta parking that is right in front of the restaurant. We paid by the mobile app QR code. Though later, the server told us people don't really park there because the arm gate might not work randomly. Fortunately, we got in that parking area accidentally, so we didn't go through the arm gate, which apparently close. The restaurant is right next to the train track and opposite to the other side of the train track, you will see a big lot of public parking (which you can see from google map). I will recommend parking there and go across the railroad to the restaurant. It's a small cozy well-lit pace. With the upscale standard of the restaurant, I would expect they can mix some mocktail but they don't have a bar area so drinks will be strictly within the menu. Besides wine, they have very limited menu for non-alcohol drinks. Normally, I love a fruity mocktail when going fine dining. Luckily, their sparkling drink is tasty, but I do hope they have more options for non-alcohol drinks. The restaurant doesn't offer chef tasting menu which is a surprise to me because the restaurant is known in lots of foodie article and site as a chef tasting menu place. Maybe they just changed recently. We got checked on often by the server and manager. They're all knowledgeable about the menu and very professional. Table is cleaned often, as well new silverware is replaced often once they're dirty. That is something I highly value in fine dining which surprisingly isn't well practiced in several upscale restaurant. I've been to places where they serve dessert without cleaning up the table from entree dining ware and silverware. The menu is small, like 2-3 items each section so we tried all the appetizers and entrees that are available. The dish is on the high price for the portion, but I already know that coming in so it's not an issue. We had: - New Potatoes (Snacks): they have smoked salmon on top so if you can't eat raw textured fish, be careful. - Provençal white asparagus (Snacks): I think there's a bit too much hollandaise, comparing to white asparagus. Also, it's a cold dish which I wish I had known. - Foie gras torchon (Main) - Garganelli (Entree): this is the highlight of the dinner. It tastes very good. - Pan roasted Alaskan halibut (Main) - Roasted lamb loin (Main) - Chocolate, banana & hazelnut (Dessert) - Strawberry sorbet & goat milk ice cream (Dessert) The snacks are alright, different but not amazing. The highlight of our dinner is mostly in the entree and dessert. The train ran through when we were dining which was a lovely thing to see through the window. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with tasty food in a cozy restaurant. I would recommend the place. read more

My husband and I went on Tuesday for their Korean pop up menu. We got the yukhoe, ddukbokki, and galbi tang. Yukhoe was very fresh and paired well with the pear and cucumber. Ddukbokki had a good amount of spice and flavor. My husband liked the galbi tang, but the radish was a little overcooked. The meat was very tender and soft. For dessert, we had the injeolmi sorbet. It was kind of like a korean bingsoo but with the sorbet texture. I really liked all the toppings - sliced almonds, rice cake, injeolmi powder, and rice cracker pieces. Service was prompt and friendly. Our server was attentive and came by to check up on us and fill our water and refill our side dishes as well. read more

Spring, a charming, quaint restaurant off Marietta Square, serves beautiful and delicious food to rival any fine-dining restaurant in the Atlanta area. The small, artistic portions pack a punch of flavor, combing finesse, colors, textures, temperatures, and flavors intriguingly and inspiringly. The servers move undisturbingly, removing crumbs and refilling water before you even know you have a need. The menu changes often, so you are sure to get fresh, seasonal ingredients. While all the dishes were tasty, the fois gras, aged steak, and sourdough were unforgettable. Absolutely spend more than usual to make a special occasion memorably delicious. read more

We had a terrific dinner at Spring. This is a small foodie paradise with a rotating menu and private setting with highly attentive hosts. Short on the beer offerings but if you come here, you'll want wine or a top shelf bar drink. I selected a Riesling from the Alsace region of France to pair with our dinner, which was a beef dish and pasta dish. Additionally, I started with blue tuna flown in from Maine. The portions are not large and really just a selection of seasonal vegetables with the entree. We lucked out coming here without a reservation. What a fancy treat! read more

We've been wanting to try it Spring for a long time, so when my boyfriend's parents came in town, it was the perfect excuse to go. This is a very small but mighty restaurant by the train tracks, so I get why you need a reservation. So small, in fact, that I felt bad for our waiters having to squeeze between tables to get to our table in the center of the restaurant. The menu is different every night, and it's very small, so you don't have many choices to make. When we went, there were 5 appetizers/salads, 3 entrees and 3 desserts. I shared the fried oysters (yummy and crispy with plentiful dipping sauce) and got the duck entree. It was cooked to perfection and so pretty, but I thought it could have come with more than 3 baby carrots haha. It was enough food, but just enough. My boyfriend got the grouper and the beurre blanc sauce was absolutely divine. The bread for the table was the absolute best bread I've had in ages (chewy warm sourdough), and dipping it in his sauce was the highlight of the meal. For dessert we tried the chocolate and beets, which was interesting and tasty, but I wouldn't necessarily order it again. The service was so attentive, helpful and nice. It was a lovely dining experience for a special occasion. read more

First off I must thank the maître d' - I messed up our reservation and we were nowhere to be seen on the guest list when we arrived. No matter. The host accommodated us and made us feel welcomed on a crowded Friday night. Great and humane customer service. Our server, Zach was knowledgeable and friendly and helped us choose well. The food and presentation were exceptional. For starters, my wife had the tuna tartare and I had the ajo Blanco - both delicious and beautiful. Our main courses were (wife's) garganelli with morels and fava beans and (mine) lamb loin and tenderloin with carrot and spinach. The lamb was cooked to perfection! We were feeling full but, we couldn't resist dessert so we tried the rice pudding and the cruller with almond ice cream. That ice cream was amazing! So smooth and cold! Both desserts had such an incredible variety of textures! They don't offer espresso but they do serve a damn fine cup of coffee from a roaster across the street. Spring is expensive yes, but I actually thought the meal we had would have cost even more. We don't live in Marietta but we will come back to Spring as often as we can. It's worth it. read more

Truly an unbelievable experience! From the incredible waitstaff to the well thought out dishes, Spring does not disappoint. Between all 4 of us at dinner, we successfully ordered all but 1 item on the menu. Before the Snacks came out, our waitress brought a loaf of freshly baked homemade sourdough with leek salted butter. The sourdough was amazing. For the Snacks, I took a small bite of the chicken liver pate and it was divine. I personally ordered 2 Start items, the wagyu beef carpaccio and the citrus salad. I also snuck a bite of my husband's sunchoke soup. And honestly you can't go wrong with any of the 3 options. And if you have any of that delicious sourdough left, now is the time to grab another piece and soak up all the citrus and ricotta leftover after the salad is gone. For the Main, I ordered the Maine Lobster Garganelli. The flavor of this dish was cohesive and light with the saffron foam and huge pieces of Lobster. It was not a huge portion which I appreciated after the 2 previous courses. I tried a bite of my husband's venison loin and the added pan seared foie gras. The venison was tender and did not taste gamey. The foie was the star of that dish. It was perfectly cooked to melt in your mouth! For dessert, the table ordered 1 of each of the options. My favorite was the lemongrass creme brulee but the tarte tatin and chocolate & hazelnut deserts were equally delicious. Our waitress was one of the highlights of the night. She was knowledgeable about the menu and had a great sense of humor. Our group of 4 never felt rushed even though it is a smaller restaurant. We will definitely be stalking the seasonal menu changes and making plans to come back soon. read more

We have lived in Marietta for almost two years, and for much of that time, we didn't know Spring existed! It's not on the main road; you have to walk around the back of the buildings to see it. Lately, multiple friends have mentioned how amazing it is, so we made a reservation for my birthday. Our server and all of the staff we encountered created such a positive and comfortable atmosphere. He took our order for the entire evening at one time. We ordered the following items: - Chicken liver pâté with pistachio, blueberry, pickled mustard, brioche - Sourdough bread with herb butter (not ordered, but brought to table) - Sun choke soup with winter truffle - Maine lobster garganelli with negin saffron, butternut, tarragon - Roasted venison loin with applewood bacon, braised red cabbage, beets huckleberry - Key lime pie with huckleberry sorbet Every dish was beautifully plated and designed. And every dish tasted incredible. I would order the exact same order again! With the pie for dessert, they even had a little candle on it for my birthday. We will definitely be back to Spring again, probably for a special occasion because of the price. We were both so impressed with the meal and experience. Thank you for a great evening! read more

This restaurant did not disappoint. We were able to come as soon as the restaurant opened up on a busy Friday night, reservation only. Food: there was a lot of variety, flavor and each dish that came out was very specifically crafted to appear a certain way. Special shout-out to the liver pate which was a combination of light fruit flavors to the thick rich pate. I also absolutely loved the main entrees and also the dessert! Overall Ambience: rustic feel with one on one attention. Parking was a bit of a hassle but able to find $5/day parking at Marietta Square even at 5pm. We will definitely be coming back next season for what menu Chef Brian has in store read more

I loved loved this place! The menu was so small and blended perfectly with the season. Our waiter was extremely kind and informative on what we were having which made the experience quite great. We had to order everything up front which made the experience feel very elegant. We tried to order one of each thing on the item, so that we can try more things. The food was exquisite! We loved everything we ordered and can not wait to go back and try the new menu when the season changes. The presentation for each meal was a work of art and I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. You could really tell the chefs in the back take their time plating each plate. The ambiance was quaint and comfy. The lighting was a tad bright for my liking but didn't bother me too too much. I will say it's a bit hard to find but follow the gps and you'll get right there. read more

We had a lovely dinner at Spring with friends. It was our first time there. It is a small space, and very austere. We noted there is nothing at all on the walls. It is still pleasant and maybe art would make the space feel smaller. We were happy when they opened the west facing window after the sun went down. Reservations are a must, especially on a busy weekend night. Every table was full the entirety of our meal. Wine prices were a bit high. The highest of any restaurant on the Marietta Square (that I am aware of). And, even higher than the French restaurant in Buckhead that we recently visited. Something to keep in mind. I'll also add that I would not bring children or even probably teenagers here. For starters, we had the melon and prosciutto appetizer and it was the surprise star of the evening. We both remarked on the way home how much we like this flavor packed dish. For entrees, we had 3 of the 4 at our table. I had the snapper. The flavors on my plate combined with the crispy edges of the snapper made it delicious bite after bite! It was a meal I was sad to see come to an end. My boyfriend had the duck breast. He loves duck but his review was that the beets and huckleberries overpowered the flavor of the duck. Our friends had a late lunch and shared and entree.... the steak. The restaurant kindly plated it separately (as you can see in the picture). It was adorably presented and cooked just right. Desserts.....we both shared the apple tarte with ice cream. We didn't care for the sauce, but it was tasty and again a lovely presentation. The mini chocolate macaroons that accompanied the check were like our appetizer, packed with flavor. read more
