Let me just dive right into it. The food was amazing! For appetizer we ordered the cornbread. It…read morewas delicious and far from being dry . The dash of sea salt on top and that whipped honey butter was the perfect addition. We both ordered the Edgewood brisket that comes with a side of truffle smashed potatoes and kale. In the moment we thought the portion was small but to be honest it was the right amount. The only problem I had was the kale , it was a bit bitter but everything else was on point . We also ordered the Mac and cheese which was also delicious. Amazing customer service. Our waitress was very attentive and suggested a few things from the menu.

Friday night outing with friends. Make a reservation if you go. Street parking for the free, lot…read moreparking hourly, or they offer valet. I parked on the street. After this experience I'd be pissed giving them extra money for valet. Pros: the location was okay. The ambiance was cool. It was an open restaurant meaning you see everyone, the cooks, and bar. We were greeted and she was very polite. Our server was cool. My mocktail was a 10. Tall dude made me something sweet and he was very polite. You pay through barcode therefore you can split the bill and pay your portion. Cons: the wait was long. We were told 10-15 mins. It was more 30+. There were several open tables in which we sat at one of them, eventually. Our reservation was not there. FYI. They were out of a few different liquors when my party ordered a few different drinks. They were out of sodas. Only offering coke, Diet Coke and ginger ale. The wait was extremely long for the food. We actually saw our food under the 'light' at least 10+ mins before it was brought to our table...and please note it was only about 5 dishes they brought out of 7. Instead of going back to get our burgers, he stopped to take orders at another table and then go to a computer I assume to place them, while the food remained under the light. We can see this. It's not an assumption . When my and a friend's food came and it was cold. The waiter was engaged in convo with another employee, we assume over a meal discrepancy, while we tried to tell him about our concerns but he walked away. I can only hope he was too discombobulated and didn't hear us. I'll stay positive on that part. We waited for him to come and he didn't. I walked to the hostess and requested to speak with "someone regarding food concerns" and the manager came out maybe 7-9 minutes later. I merely stated if they could put the burger in the microwave that would suffice but we would like fresh fries. He acknowledged with minimal words and walked off. Never saw him again. At all. More time passed. Everyone has basically finished their food. We are looking crazy bc we don't know what o going on. I go speak to the waiter to reiterate my convo with the manager and he stated "ohh they cooked a brand new meal" I said ohhh okay I didn't know bc he didn't say anything or come back. He turned to the kitchen as he was saying this and y'all...yet again...Burger and fries were sitting under the light. Lol. SMH. He walked them over and needless to say, the food was the same. Fries cold. I can tell he was pulled in many directions and I won't fault him too much on that but organization and multitasking is needed. Idk if they were short staffed but this sucked. The food was a 3 out of 10. I'm only giving a 3 bc I was advised the fish was good but the rice was undercooked. Back to the burger...That was NOT a smash burger. At all. It's giving frozen patty. The buns were even cold. Doubt they were toasted. The fries were overly salty. And being shoestring they should be last up bc they will cool off fast. Which they were cold both times. It stated 'onion jam' on the burger. It was a gang of sliced onions. I'd say 'sautéed' but there was still no color and definitely no caramelization. The food was too expensive for what we received. I did not have a good experience. As I always state, could be a one-off, maybe different cooks, different days. Idk know but I wouldn't be back.

We came to this restaurant twice within 1 week. Our first visit was for lunch during the week. We…read morehad the restaurant to ourselves the majority of the time but the wait staff was still very attentive. We started with the Alaskan snow claws, sauted, which was soo good. The crab meat comes out very easy. The flavor was A+. I rated it #2 behind Pappadeaux's crab claws. We then shared the Lobster roll that comes with 2 rolls that were perfect size for 2 people. The roll bun was soft which makes a difference when eating lobster rolls. We came back on a Friday night and it was a completely different vibe. The inside and outside were packed. We were able to get seated outside which worked better for us since they serve hookah here so if you're like us and don't like to inhale hookah the outside seating is perfect. We ordered the same thing from our lunch visit + wings (Sweet Thai chili & Honey garlic) since they had a $6 wing special. We were surprised that the lobster roll price was the same at dinner as it was during lunch. We really enjoyed both visits and plan to return for future date lunch/dinner.

Sea Salt on Howell Mill is one of those places where you really have to know what you're coming…read morefor. For me, the food is okay, but the atmosphere is much more party than restaurant. The Sea Salt Dip is a good appetizer to start with, and the Pan Seared Salmon is probably one of the better choices if you want fish. The Chicken & Waffles is another popular option if you're in the mood for something heavier. Overall, though, I find the food good enough, not exceptional, and a little overpriced for what you're getting. The same goes for the drinks. You're definitely paying a premium for the overall scene. The restaurant itself is attractive with a lively, upscale lounge feel, but the music can be extremely loud. If you're looking for a DJ, drinks, hookah, and a party atmosphere while you eat, this could absolutely be your vibe. It's just not mine. When I go out to dinner, I want to enjoy a good meal and actually have a conversation with the people at my table. I don't want to have to yell across the table or struggle to hear the server. Service could also be more consistent. The staff definitely has plenty of personality, but sometimes a little more hospitality and attentiveness would go a long way. The food isn't bad at all, and I understand why people enjoy the atmosphere. It's just more of a party destination with food than the kind of dining experience I personally prefer. If friends insisted on going, I'd come along, but it probably wouldn't be my choice otherwise.

We came in after 7 on our second stop after our Juneteenth celebrations. There were a few people…read morethere. They had a dj who was good but could use some discernment on changing songs when people are vibing to it, to another song with less tempo and vibes. There seemed to be one server and she was doing it all it seemed poor thing, which equaled to slow service. She was pleasant and did not appear overwhelmed. They didn't have the mixers to make a lemon drop or too much anything I wanted so I didn't order a drink except water. They list liquor on their website so I thought it would be a good place for me and my husband since I don't drink beer but he does. They also list wine. They only had 1 wine available, which was a can of Stella Rosa Black. My husband called it soda lol. It was 5% alcohol, in line with the seltzers they have. I started to get one as they had some flavors I might like but I thought we were hitting another spot and wanted to save my alcohol limit on something I really wanted. I'm not sure if I'll be back to try it though. I ordered the jerk chicken egg rolls. I liked them, my husband not so much. They are not spicy which suited me fine and I asked before ordering them the spice level. The sauce that comes with it really adds the jerk flavor, not spice. They came out piping hot. I would order them again if we returned. This next oops was on me. I saw they had oysters, but didn't check to see if they had raw oysters, which my husband loves. They have a variety of baked oysters and some fried ones. I like them chargrilled so that didn't work for me either. As they say, reading is fundamental. Had I done my homework we probably wouldn't have stopped in last night. But I wanted to support black owned businesses on Juneteenth. I hope they make it as they're the only black owned brewery in Atlanta as noted on their website. There's parking around the corner. The restaurant as I could see was clean. The server was friendly despite being overworked. Go try them if you're a beer &/or seltzer drinker and like baked or fried oysters.

I have been trying new places for brunch and decided to stop in here on a whim…read moreThe place is small but cozy with some Outdoor seating. The server was friendly and told Us to sit were we wanted. The menu is on a bar code and we were advised that is the were you place your order and pay for the food You input your table number and select your items along with paying for your food on the app before your food comes. Now for the food, most of the items we received was delicious. I wasn't a fan of the blueberry pancakes they were just ok but the banana pancakes

The bartender was super friendly and helpful, and we all enjoyed our meal!

Upon entering, we were offered a choice to dine on the rooftop and did. It was an airy, chill and inclusive atmosphere. Our server was nice but a bit forgetful and mixed up our cocktails so we had to wait for the bartender to remake them. Other than that the food was decent, I settled for a salad and bang band shrimp. Both were satisfying. Overall, the Republic Social House is just as its name states, a relaxing place to social over decent food. Nothing was outstanding nor terribly bad.

My mothers and I visited Platez last night for a nice dinner out before a show. We didn't have a…read morereservation, but was seated immediately. There was some confusion on where to enter the building due to lack of signage, but we figured it out. Upon entering, I immediately was overwhelmed by how loud the music was. I have sensory issues and asked if we could be seated outside, but was told that there was a party outside. We were seated inside and no one in my group could hear each other speak the whole time we ate due to how loud the music was. We couldn't hear the server either. Our server immediately gave us menus, silverware, and waters. He didn't introduce himself or really say much of anything. We were left to look at the menus for 5-10 minutes. Upon looking at the menus, we were extremely disappointed to see that much of what we came for was not available due to it being a brunch item. This was not communicated ANYWHERE on the website and we would not have chosen to dine here had we known. We chose to stay and eat due to already paying $10 for parking across the street. Once we came to terms with the fact that we would not be eating french toast or waffles, we began looking at the menu to decide what to order. It was then that I noticed how expensive everything was. The food is even more expensive than the menu on the website, and the item that I decided upon - the catfish and grits - was $30. This is unreasonably expensive for what it was and I would have priced it at about $18 to be generous. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes for our food and eventually my catfish and grits and my mother's shrimp and grits were served. The sauce around the grits was cold, and the grits themselves weren't super hot. It was obvious that they had been sitting while the fish and shrimp was being cooked. The portion itself was too much to eat in one sitting and grits are not something that would reheat well so we left them instead of trying to take them home. When our grits were served, the waiter told us my step-mother's smothered pork chop would be right out. It did not come for another 10 minutes. One of her sides was a salad, but not even that was brought out. While my mother and I's grits were phenomenal in flavor, my step-mother's pork chop was barely edible. She said that it was tough, especially when she was not provided anything more than a butter knife to cut with, and the gravy on top was so salty that I gagged upon tasting it. It tasted like gravy mix from a packet that was combined with the drippings from a meat that had already been seasoned. My step-mother prefers things to be more salty, but even she had to peel the breading off to be able to eat the pork chop. Keep in mind, this was also about $30. Our service was poor. The waiter didn't introduce himself, as I said, and he did not ask if we wanted anything more than water to drink. He was barely able to be heard over the loud music, but he also didn't say much. He did not check up on us during our meal or say anything while we waited 40+ minutes for our food. And when we went up to the cash register to pay our bill, we were left standing there for about 5 minutes while various servers and workers walked by and went behind the register without even acknowledging our presence. This was very off-putting and a terrible way to end a lackluster dinning experience. Upon paying our bill, we were forced to pay a mandatory 15% tip and a 7% service fee. And then they had the audacity to ask for an additional tip despite their poor service. We all left Platez feeling very disappointed, despite how delicious my mother and I's grits were. We all had the sentiment that we would have had a better time eating at Waffle House because we went for brunch food in the first place. Platez is (in my opinion) horribly overpriced and the service was terrible. I try to be positive, but I would never come here again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I visited Platez Southern Kitchen with a large party for brunch. Even though we booked our…read morereservation weeks in advance, the restaurant wasn't prepared. It took well over an hour and a half after ordering for our food to arrive. I ordered the chicken & waffles, cornbread bites, and a strawberry peach margarita. The cornbread bites with honey drizzle were a nice start, and the margarita was balanced and refreshing. Unfortunately, the chicken--though cooked properly--wasn't seasoned, and the waffle was overcooked. On top of that, the service left much to be desired. I had to ask multiple times for condiments and waited over 20 minutes just to receive them. Customer service is very important to me, and this really hurt the experience. What made it worse was the bill. A large party tip, an extra "service fee," and then a regular tip option added up to an outrageous total -- especially considering the lack of preparation, slow service, and disappointing food. Overall, while the drinks were good, the combination of unseasoned food, long waits, and excessive charges makes it hard for me to recommend this place or want to return.
