Delicious appetizers and amazing service. Perfect for girl's night! The rooftop was a beautiful cherry on top.

Tiny Lou's is the kind of place you'd expect to find a velvet painting of a French bulldog smoking a clove cigarette. It's tucked into the basement of the newly scrubbed and de-scandaled Hotel Clermont, which, for decades, was best known as the sort of place where you'd do well to pack your favorite bug spray and rat traps before entering. The total renovation has given it an air of vintage respectability, like a retired burlesque dancer now running a barre studio. But despite the fresh paint and Instagram lighting, the soul of the Clermont remains intact. You can't polish off decades of drama with reclaimed wood and artisanal bread. Named for Tiny Lou, a dancer from the hotel's mid-century heyday who reportedly refused to perform for Hitler, the restaurant gives off a lush charm. On a recent Sunday evening, the crowd was sparse--just enough to make people-watching interesting. The food? Very good. The duck confit was the sort of thing you eat slowly, in silence, as if someone might try to take it away. The appetizers were flavorful and interesting. The wine menu was French-forward, and the cocktails fabulous. The staff was mostly attentive, save for a brief moment when our waiter vanished, possibly into the wallpaper. Still, no complaints. Until, of course, the incident. Mid-meal, a woman burst in off the street and quite literally knocked someone's block off. She was not a patron, nor a guest, but rather one of the city's free-range personalities who occasionally wander in like performance art. This is, after all, the Clermont--you can buff the brass, but you'll never bleach the past. We paid our check and left full, slightly tipsy, and delighted. Tiny Lou's is the kind of place where dinner comes with a side of truffle fries and a dash of unpredictability. I'll be back, ideally before someone else gets punched. read more

Not sure the appeal of Tiny Lou's at all, it's ok for a hotel restaurant but no fine dining by any means, the chicken was fair but super rich gravy and butter sauce, the second time I ate here had the French soup which was bitter, flavorless and burger which was dry and overdone. read more

This was my second time at Tiny Lou's and I'll be coming back again and again! The ambience is romantic and posh and is perfect for a special occasion or date night. I had been dreaming of the Burrata bread service since my first visit and unfortunately on both occasions I couldn't get a picture in time before we devoured it. The bread was soft and warm with a delicious and flavorful center. Over the summer I ordered the steak frites, lobster risotto and grilled cheese appetizer as well as tried the seasonal crepe cake and an assortment of ice creams and sorbets. I was in heaven. This time around I ordered the burger and I'm now convinced there is nothing on the menu that is not amazing at this restaurant. It was bursting with flavor and was a sufficient size for the price. I topped off the night by ordering their special crème brûlée croissant to bring home and enjoy. I ordered two not realizing how massive these would be and once again I was not disappointed. The sweet crème brûlée filling had that thin layer of torched sugar on top as well as fresh blackberries giving the overall pastry a beautiful balance of sweet, tart and buttery. My only complaint is that the parking isn't the most user friendly. The only options are $45 to valet your car (which can fill up quickly) or you can try your luck at street parking. Overall this restaurant lives up to the hype, I can't wait to go back read more

My boyfriend and I came here a few years ago, and loved it, so I was excited to return. I went with 3 girlfriends on a Saturday night, so we definitely needed a reservation. There's such a beautiful mood in this restaurant - dark, romantic, and it just feels special. Our waiter was exceptional - had great insight and was easy to chat with. The cocktails are divine - I had the one with rye and strawberry and it was delightfully citrusy. I had the steak frites because I just wanted something classic. The steak was medium rare, per the chefs recommendation, and very salty and tasty. The shoestring fries were crunchy and plentiful. But the biggest mistake I made my first visit was skipping dessert. I didn't realize that their pastry chef is renowned! We split 3 desserts between the 4 of us. I'd honestly come back with one person and just skip dinner (though it's also good) and order all 4 available desserts. That's how good they are. The crepe cake is what they're known for and for good reason. It's just perfection - and that's coming from someone who is a chocolate lover and doesn't usually love fruity desserts. The death by chocolate dessert was so rich and had a coffee taste to it too. Finally, their take on carrot cake was more cinnamon and less carrot cake, and while it was good, the other two were far better. I can't wait to return for the crepe cake alone! read more

Top notch everything. We came for an anniversary dinner and they did not disappoint! Service was excellent, attentive, and personal. Food was also very good, steak was cooked perfectly. Frites were on point. Most people would skip the salmon rillettes but don't. The salmon taste with the burst of cold salty roe on a house made potato chip is heaven. And their winter Risotto is to die for. They even made us a handmade card for the occasion which was just icing on the cake. Thank you for a fantastic evening. P.S. I didn't have time for food pictures. Too much fun. read more

Chicken Paillard includes a grilled chicken breast, arugula salad, and what appears to be a chicken meatball (in simpler terms). The chicken was a little dry and I wasn't a fan of the crepinette (chicken meatball). I felt the bitterness of the arugula didn't pair well with the dish. The Duck Confit was cooked to perfection and the lentils were delicious. The French onion soup was delicious. The melted Gruyère complimented the sweetness of the onions in the soup perfectly. All in all the ambiance provided for a lovely date and the service was impeccable. Apologies for the low quality picture read more

An elegant spot for weekend cocktails, the bar at Tiny Lou's is the perfect spot for an elevated evening hang. We stopped in for deliciously crafted cocktails served in their luxe digs, all done up in velvet. Alongside our cocktails, we sampled their cornbread madelines, a nice sweet treat. A perfect evening, especially when paired with a couple after hours drinks on their expansive rooftop with views of the city. read more

Tiny Lou's is a French-American restaurant located down the stairs of Hotel Clermont. Ive heard many good things about this place so I wanted to come here for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere is great, the service is good, the desserts are AMAZING, but the food itself, it was just ok unfortunately. To start we ordered the bread service ($6) which was incredibly good. Best bread ever. Something about that butter too. YUM. For drinks, we tried the Easy, Killer and The Bonaventure ($12) one was a tall drink, the other short and dry, more like a shot and very strong. Both drinks were good. We ordered the Steak Frites because I've heard it was a very good dish to order here, unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations, just ok. The sauce on top was delicious though. Since it was my birthday that day so our server mentioned dessert, and asked if that day was my ACTUAL birthday day to what I say yes. Then after dinner she asked what dessert I wanted and I told her the Crepe Cake. I thought it would be complementary since she was asking all this questions about my birthday, but I was charged for it. So just a heads up, they don't acknowledge birthdays which was a little disappointing. The cake was still delicious. Overall ok, would probably go back for a special occasion only. ESPAÑOL Tiny Lou's es un restaurante franco-estadounidense ubicado debajo de las escaleras del Hotel Clermont. He oído muchas cosas buenas sobre este lugar, así que quería venir aquí para la cena de mi cumpleaños. El ambiente es genial, el servicio es excelente, los postres son INCREÍBLES, pero la comida en sí, solo bien desafortunadamente. Para empezar pedimos el servicio de pan ($6) que era increíblemente bueno. El mejor pan de todos. Algo sobre esa mantequilla también. yummm. Para las bebidas, probamos el Easy, Killer y The Bonaventure ($12) uno era un trago alto, el otro corto y seco, más como un trago y muy fuerte. Ambas bebidas estaban buenas. Pedimos Steak Frites ($34) porque escuché que era un plato muy bueno para pedir aquí, desafortunadamente no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas, simplemente estuvo bien. Sin embargo, la salsa encima estaba deliciosa. Como era mi cumpleaños ese día, nuestra mesera mencionó el postre y me preguntó si ese día era mi cumpleaños REAL a lo que dije que sí. Luego, después de la cena, me preguntó qué postre quería y le dije que el pastel de crepes. Pensé que sería complementario ya que ella estaba haciendo todas estas preguntas sobre mi cumpleaños, pero me lo cobraron. Solo un aviso, no reconocen los cumpleaños, lo cual fue un poco decepcionante. Pero el pastel estuvo delicioso igualmente. En general bien, probablemente volvería solo para una ocasión especial. read more

Great place to come if you're in the midtown area. We came here before roaming around the beltline on Saturday. We came for brunch in the weekend which is definitely what I would recommend it. It is a cool location that seems to be hidden away from the other parts. It has a retrovive and definitely a more higher-end restaurant feel. Great place to come with friends or on date. First let's start with the service. Overall it was pretty good but I will say that they were not very accommodating. We are vegetarian when I asked for substitutions or eliminations they gave me a very hard time. I ended up getting a croc madam but without the meat and wanted caramelized onions which is on their menu anyway and was told that I might not be able to get that. It ended up coming without any onions at all even though even said that they could give it to me on the side or even an avocado on the side. We also order parmesan fries then never ended up coming The food was good. The pastry basket was very cute and all of them seem fresh and delicious. The espresso martinis definitely hit different during brunch. The sandwich was delicious even though not exactly what I wanted. Still would recommend coming here for the food just wish they did a better job with their service. read more

Tiny Lou's is a must! Date night? Tiny Lou's. GNO? Tiny Lou's. Going out for drinks? Tiny Lou's. Want dessert? Tiny Lou's. Whatever the reason, Tiny Lou's is the answer. Tiny Lou's is a French-American brasserie located downstairs at Hotel Clermont. My first experience at Tiny Lou's was at their media event in February. I immediately fell in love with the food! The taste and the presentation are all on point. Both of their chefs, Chef Jon Novak and Pastry Chef Charmain Ware are EXTREMELY talented. I recently went back after a friend raved about their espresso martinis and crepe cake. I am very new to espresso martinis, but theirs is the best I've had so far! They also offer it in decaf which is a nice plus. The dessert here is out of this world! The crepe cake is composed of cinnamon French crêpes, mascarpone, caramel, housemade apple butter and brown butter crumble. Absolutely incredible! Pretty sure I was eating and crying tears of joy at the same time. The service here is excellent. We arrived less than hour before closing at my recent visit and they were very polite while communicating their closing time. They didn't rush us and instead, gave friendly reminders when they were ten minutes away from closing. I cannot recommend Tiny Lou's enough! read more

I'm giving this five stars for a delicious espresso martini, gorgeous crepe cake, and awesome service. Upon my first visit to Atlanta, my host Christina V told me I cannot be in this city without trying an espresso martini at Tiny Lou's. In the words of the cool kids - "say less" - I told her. We hopped on over on a Sunday night and the bar and restaurant were packed. I love to see vibes like that regardless of the night, so I already knew we were in for a treat. We had to wait for a few for a high top by the bar, but it was so worth it. The Espresso Martinis are delish. They can also make it for you with decaf, which is nice! I was told the food at Tiny's Lou's is delicious french, and the desserts are top-notch. We went with the crepe cake which was absolutely divine. The bar at Tiny Lou's seems like a spot that I would go to on a date, with girlfriends, or solo if I wanted some solid French food and cocktails. Will definitely visit next time I am in Atlanta. read more

REVIEW #1,000! I have been waiting to pen this big review for a while and I wanted to make sure that this special spot was reserved for a special place! So, Tiny Lou's it is! If you would have told me that I would have one of the best meals in Atlanta in the downstairs space of The Clermont Lounge, I would have politely told you to go do something to yourself...as the things I have witnessed downstairs in the Clermont are not what I would describe as appetizing. However, I took the bate and refreshingly learned that "downstairs in" and the "basement of" the Clermont are worlds apart and serve up their own individual version of delicious each night! Tiny Lou's is a French-American upscale brasserie that sits downstairs of The Clermont Hotel. If you are not familiar with the Clermont Hotel, it is rich in history and an absolute staple in the story of Atlanta, which makes the fact that Tiny Lou's being named after a former lounge dancer from the 1950's all that much more special and perfect! You can get to Tiny Lou's through the lower level or the main entrance of the hotel. I wandered in through the main entrance and the first thing you notice is the neon lights luring you down the stairs. Once you get to the bottom of the stairs you are transported in time. While the menu and vibe is French inspired, the vibe to me was more high-end speak easy and 1920's era hidden bar frequented by the wealthy. In short, it was a cool spot and I really loved the feel from entry to exit! We happened to visit right after they released a new menu, so while we got to enjoy a few of the standards, we were also lucky enough to have some of the newest and most delicious items they offered! Here is all the goodness we enjoyed... - Bread Service - Homemade Brioche - I am a bread fan already, but this homemade brioche with sea salt served with homeemade butter was next level! - Harvest Salad - I am normally not one for fruit or nuts on salads, but the wine poached pears and spiced pecans were a phenomenal addition! - Gnocchi Parsienne - Solid dish, was my least favorite of the evening, but it was still tasty in its own right. - Steak Tartare - Your classic tartare with a pop of truffle oil! - Wild Boar Terrine - My personal favorite of the night! Essentially boar head cheese that is breaded and fried then served with a gribiche. Do not sleep on this dish! - Swordfish Au Poivre - The peppercorn crust was dynamite! - Crepe Cake - Y'all...this cake has 20+ layers with homemade apple butter and brown butter crumble. It was decadent, divine and absolutely delicious! To wash all this incredible food down, we also enjoyed a few crafted cocktails such as the "Don't Feed The Animals" and the "Here for the Hollerin". Both drinks were expertly made and super tasty! Service was next level! Our server was the kindest, friendliest and most helpful server we have had in ages in the city, she was so refreshing! Additionally, the Chef himself came out to greet us and to talk us through the new additions to the menu. He was great and clearly passionate about what he does, and that passion was easy to see in the plates that hit our table! Overall, I am sad it took me so long to really discover and enjoy Tiny Lou's. This spot is an all around experience that delivers on vibe, service, food and drink! Tiny Lou's...we will meet again, and again...and probably another time or two after that! read more

Nestled inside the very cute Clermont Hotel, my friend and I went for our birthdays and the hostess recited that info and also gave us birthday cards which we thought was so sweet and thoughtful:). This restaurant has such great ambiance! We felt grown and sexy We had cocktails prior at the bar upstairs and our server went and got our exact drinks for us from the upstairs bar even though they weren't on the dinner menu downstairs. We ordered the beard service with burrata which was buttery and fresh and reminded me of my granny's homemade bread. I could eat like three of those loaves if you let me lol. There is a noticeably long wait between entrees but we had good conversation and drinks so it wasn't too bad. For apps-we ordered the deviled eggs which were just standard, and the onion soup which my friend says was outstanding. Both are shareable sizes and semi filling. For our main entrees we had their house burger and the scallop entree. Beautiful presentations. My friend said the burger was just okay and needed something more added to it as the aioli was flat. My scallop dish was tasty but I wish restaurants would make at least 4 scallops the standard. 3 is just too little of a meal for the price. Overall it was soft, mild and tasty and I'd order it again. I had a side of snap snow peas which were pretty amazing. Order those! read more

The staff were very nice. Our waitress was super kind and didn't let our waters hit half empty. Food was warm and dint seem to be sitting around in the kitchen for being slow for brunch when we went. But the food was very lacking. I had the burger. If you get truffle fries, share them with 3 people. They give you a lot fries. Cooked to temp expected, but the burger was very, VERY flavorless. The bun was also extremely greasy on top. It had a lot of cheese on it, almost too much. The onions on it seemed unsalted and were a bit cool compared to the cooked burger and fries. If the onions were more seasoned then the bland patty wouldn't have been so bad. I'm a pretty quick eater, but the bun underneath was pretty soggy when it initially came out, and by the time I started the second half it was unmanageable and I had to use my fork to eat it. It was a pretty unpleasant food experience. For the bun to have become that soggy by that much so quickly, it just speaks to the type of meat they might use. Nothing wrong with using a pretty high fat percentage beef, but manage your cooked product/ plating a bit better for such an expensive burger. $24 but should be on menu for $13-14. Expected a lot more for a simple dish, especially from such an establishment. Steer away from this dish, don't waste the money. read more

Stopped here a few weeks back for a Saturday Brunch.This is an adorable French/American Bistro

Love the location and overall experience. I'm vegan and was nervous to join my family for dinner at a french restaurant (a cuisine known for its buttery decadence), but my server Jaz really took care of me! From helping me customize my drink, to serving a delicious tapenade toast, to a nice salad before a super yummy pear/squash entree! I mostly can't say enough good words about their sorbet though. We tried a few, and the apple one somehow tastes like a warm spiced apple pie! The pear one was lovely, and I enjoyed the orange one as well. The apple one will live in my mind rent free forever though- idk where I'll ever find a sorbet that tasty again. We went to the roof and then popped into the hotel lobby and found a black and white photo booth for a memento of the evening. Thank you Tiny Lou's for a cute cozy evening while my parents were in town! read more

Tiny Lou's - Tiny Lou's Entrees: veal, scallops, snapper, squash - French Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I decided to revisit Tiny Lou's. I've been several times " pre-pandemic " so it's been awhile. It's located in Hotel Clermont. If you're from Atlanta or been here long enough, you know. The hotel has been renovated. Note: this review is mainly for the restaurant. Overall, I'll be back but here is my latest experience: Space: Upon entering the hotel. The lobby is small but inviting with mid century decor. There is a bar toward the right where they craft some great cocktails. I love that bar. One of the best espresso martinis in the city. You must go down the stairs to enter the restaurant. It's def a date spot /romantic restaurant. Love the space. Food: The menu changed a bit. That's to be expected as many restos had to pivot during this time. - Steak Tartare - I love steak tartare and this one was just ok. I've had better here. This updated version is over dressed and too much mustard. The recipe changed. Not a fan. - Foie Gras Pâté - Delicious!!!!!!!!! This was so good! I literally savored everything bite. Prefect dish. I'll come back just for this dish. - Gnocchi Parisienne - Good. Interestingly, it was a light dish with great flavor. - Scollops - i enjoyed this dish. The scallops were perfectly cooked. - Bean Cassoulet - The flavor was good but the word " cassoulet " had me expecting more. I've had cassoulets before and I had it in Paris. It was missing the duck fat, sausage, duct confit, you get the point. It lacked decadence in my opinion. *** Tiny Lou's, bring back the old steak tartare recipe and the Loup De Mer! That sea bass dish was just amazing! Service: Server was nice and wore her mask properly. I think she forgot our bread! You still serve that bread right? Parking: Valet is available. Restaurant will validate parking. Lounge: Enjoy yourself if you go. I didn't go this time lol. It's been years for me and I'm good for years to come lol. I'm not even sure if it's the same as if was years ago. Rooftop: Go when it's nice out. read more

Tiny Lou's is a great date night spot. Pulling up to a The Clermont (which is rich in Atlanta history) was very easy and the valet service was great. The service was pretty good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I went with my family (6 people) and here is what we ordered: Bread service- we ordered the brioche with burrata. The regular brioche arrived, our service informed us they were fixing it and we could have this one for free. It was fantastic! Then another regular bread landed at the table. We had to tell the server again. The correct bread didn't come until after our entrees were served. Deviled eggs: I'm not a huge fan of deviled eggs but these were very flavorful! But a strong truffle flavor so you have to like that. Two people ordered the Beef Bourguignon which they both loved. Although the mashed potatoes could have used more salt.Two people ordered the pork chop. Perfectly cooked with great gnocchi. My father ordered the duck confit with lentils and loved it. I ordered the steak frites. And the fries were a 12/10, absolutely perfect. The steak on the other hand was very average for $55. The sear was nice and it was decently seasoned and cooked but it was tough and didn't take like it was high quality. Also, a pet peeve of mine is when restaurants cut steaks down the middle like this. It ruins the texture. Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and most of it was worth the price. If you're looking for a sexy intimate restaurant this would be a good experience. read more

It was our first time dining at Tiny Lou's for dinner and we were pumped! It's located in the lower level of Hotel Clermont and it's certainly one of the best "hotel restaurants" in the city. Service was wonderful and we were seated right away. I highly recommend making a reservation!! We ordered the tartine flambé for starters - bread was crispy and bacon was not overly salty, I did find it a bit too greasy for my liking from the lard. I ordered the chicken Kiev - it was very juicy and tender but the coating was underwhelming and tasted bland, the veloute it was paired with was delicious though! My fiancé ordered the swordfish - cooked to perfection and the potato purée was also delicious. For dessert, we shared a crepe cake (our personal favorite and the perfect way to end our meal). I'm docking a star from my review because of the valet situation. There appeared to be 3 valet drivers but the guy who we gave our ticket to was constantly talking on his phone. We could have gotten our car 10 mins earlier, instead he gave it to the only guy who was working. Can read more

Sadly, I was underwhelmed! Perhaps it was the fact that it was their first day back on the brunch scene or maybe the food just truly is subpar. Either way, I'm sure I won't be back! But anyways, let me start with the good! The ambiance and service were pretty good. Everyone was really nice! Oh and the La Charlotte cocktail was amazingly delicious! Other than that, there is not much else that made the experience memorable! Now for the not so good, it gets quite loud, so if you're looking to have an intellectual conversation, this may not be the place for you! Also, one of the severs dropped a drink on our table and spilled good alcohol all over the table and in my cellphone. Thankfully, it didn't spill on anyone seated at our table. Now and MOST importantly was the food! We started with toast and jam and deviled eggs with caviar on top. The deviled eggs were extremely garlicky and also tasted a bit Wasabi-ish. Not to mention sort of runny. For the entree, we all ordered Lou's Classic Breakfast (there were 3 of us) which was basic by many restaurant standards! It was potatoes, bacon or sausage, eggs, and toast (It is not traditional bread toast. It's a crusty baguette). So needless to say, I was expecting better preparation and presentation! Welp! Nope! The potatoes were seriously overcooked, nothing and I mean NOTHING was seasoned, and my bacon was curled up and hidden somewhere under my potatoes. My friend ordered her breakfast with sausage and said it tasted more like ground beef than sausage! So, she returned it and ordered the bacon instead! The presentation of the food was awful! It is literally just thrown on the plates! No garnishments, nothing. I've had better presentation from iHop! AND for all of this, 3 Classic Lou's, Deviled Eggs & Toast as an appetizer and 3 La Charlottes (which is basically an upscale mimosa!) I paid $138 & left a $40 tip. After, everything was said and done the manager came to our table and asked how everything was! I told her everything I mentioned above and her response was basically "Thank you for letting me know and can I get you some mimosas to take to the rooftop!" Hmmmm! Okay! **The rooftop is a whole different beast! There was ABSOLUTELY nothing going on up there besides loud GoGo music! Oh and they don't serve food, so bring a snack to go with all the alcohol you'll probably want to consume from the rooftop bar! Okay! I digress.... All in all, I was very disappointed and am not sure I'd return. read more

So much love for TL, Clermont and...Cafe Claudia! During COVID, one of the creative ways the team at Tiny Lou's/Clermont have continued to feed and comfort us is having the amazing pastry chef Claudia Martinez man the upstairs cafe on Sat & Sun.

Tiny little macaroons (I picked raspberry and a salty-sweet one), a donut with a marvelous flavor icing I can't recall, a (huge) biscuit my husband added cheese and meat to, and a fruit and granola dish for my friend.

This place is very intimate and romantic! Perfect for a date night. We came for our anniversary and the hostess gave us a nice little card, and throughout our dinner we kept getting "Happy Anniversary" which was such a thoughtful touch. Our waiter was very pleasant and he added to the vibe of the whole place. Our food was incredible! I got the lobster risotto which was fresh, creamy, and had a nice citrus touch to it. My husband got the scallops which were cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. We also got the bread service and deviled eggs as an appetizer. The bread service was great! Bread was so soft and creamy with the cheese, however we didn't love the eggs as much but the presentation was still nice. I got the red light district for my drink and it was sweet but not overly sweet, but definitely strong. For dessert we got the crepe cake and the clafoutis. They were both okay, very beautiful looking. Overall we had an amazing experience and recommend this place for any looking for a great romantic night out, you will not be disappointed! read more

Had dinner here while in Atlanta for work. Service was great. Both the hostess and server were friendly and personable. Food was just okay. Had the risotto even though my gut said no. It was lukewarm and there was barely enough to make a single layer of five On a very large bowl. I think there was more garnish on the plate than rice. I ordered the French onion soups because I was still hungry. Again lukewarm. Nothing like having lukewarm onion soup with the cheese staring to harden like rubber. Panna cotta has good flavor, but I have never had panna cotta with so much gelatin in it. I think that if I dropped it on the floor, it might have bounced, a little too firm for me. read more

Tiny Lou's is a basic Instagram Influencer's wet dream. Lots of photo ops but nary a good dish! We had a GREAT server, Fiona, who suggested all of the dishes & cocktails we were excited to try. The Good Their new signature cocktail, the Ango Colada, was delicious! Rum, bitters, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lime make for an excellent drink. The OverHyped Buratta Bread Service. Our bread was not freshly baked. The buratta in the center was ice cold and the bread was fall apart crusty, not pillowy. Our serving was a leftover piece from the day before and reheated. This was the start to our meal and pretty much set the tone... The Flavorless The French Onion Soup was so oily and flavorless. The dish is lacking salt and the onions were actually still crunchy. The Claremont Burger is an unseasonable patty of beef cooked within an inch of its death. This was ordered at a medium temperature and came out well done. The fries that accompanied this burger were so salty, they should have been added to the soup! The OverCooked and OverSalted The Hanger Steak (ordered medium) and Truffle Fries arrived as one charred brick of well done steak along with the saltiest fries ever. The truffle and Parmesan smelled wonderful when the plate was presented, but the fries were inedible due to the amount of salt that covered them. We were really disappointed in the whole meal as the service, cocktails and restaurant are wonderful. Adding t Tiny Lou's to the 'one and done' list. read more

I made the reservation with the hostess, who I was friends with, ahead of time, and it was a painless process. It's a little dark downstairs after sunset but it allowed for a private and intimate vibe - so definitely a great date spot! First off, drinks. The Grounds for Divorce was a great fruity gin cocktail that is my perfect drink! I ordered a glass of red wine to go with the meal based off the recommendation of our server. Speaking of which... Our server was super fun and friendly but without being overly attentive. He helped us choose a majority of the order, and coursed out the meal for us to share a lot of the dishes. He even split the dishes into two perfect halves for the entrees we were sharing. Bread is not free - but $5 for that bread service is SO worth it. Don't sleep on it. I almost ordered a second order but realized we had ordered way too much food for 2 people to do so. FOOD: Octopus Nicoise - not a huge fan of the hard boiled egg... but overall the dish was a great starter. Diver Scallops - cooked perfectly. Seasoning was on point and the accompanying greens were tasty. Hamachi Tartare - light, fresh and super refreshing! A great appetizer to share. Loup de Mer - MUST order. The fish was perfectly cooked, with crispy skin and seasoning. On top of a rich pool of beurre monte... the dish was just as great as the server promised. Gnocchi - probably the only dish that wasn't mind blowing. It was definitely a good dish, but we were pretty full at this point. The perfectly poached egg on top made for a sexy egg porn video, though! Pommes Aligot - not the cheesy potatoes I expected. Maybe we let it sit for too long while I was taking pictures but it wasn't anything special. And now for dessert. I was so excited to try the deserts of the esteemed Claudia Martinez. Everyone has been ordering and taking pictures of the crepe cake (au citron was the seasonal flavor) insta-worthy gorgeousness but heard from the server (possibly an unpopular opinion?!) that it looks better than it tastes. So we went with the Ruby and the Amour y passion. The Ruby was tart but rich and chocolate-y at the same time. Definitely recommend if you want the opportunity to try the decadent ruby chocolate. The Amour y passion melted a little while I was taking photos but it was still a tart and tasty dessert, melted or not. Both were beautifully plated and the deconstruction didn't bother me. Definitely a great date spot, whether for drinks, dinner, dessert, or all of the above. After dinner, head upstairs to the Clermont rooftop without a wait by asking the server for direct access via the elevator. I'll be back, Tiny Lou, for more, especially after all this pandemic chaos dies down! read more

Absolutely amazing! This is a perfect location for a romantic date! Restaurant is lovely, food is delicious, drinks are great and the service is spectacular. Our waiter was very unique. My favorite part is when we asked him how he was doing and he said "delicious". Haha so cute! There were not a lot of vegetarian options. In fact as entre there was only the gnocchi but I wouldn't have chosen anything else. This was a very special and unique gnocchi. Very light and very beautiful presentation. My drink was a lil strong, but I guess that is not a bad thing actually. We had such a special time there abs would love to go back! read more

Massively disappointing. Tiny Lou's. The rooftop is now 21 year old hang out with trash on the floor. Unstable floor. Big downgrade for hotel, rooftop and restaurant read more

Let me start off by giving kudos to my waiter Ian, phenomenal service! The restaurant is on the bottom floor of the Clermont Hotel, is very dimly lit with fun decor and a very date night vibe. Food: the brioche was so warm, light and fluffy with the exterior crispy and salted, very good. the poisson cru was a yellowtail crudo with like a coconut style tzatziki sauce, a nice break from the traditional green citrus sauces it's normally served with at other places. Delicious , delicate and fresh fish. The foie gras dish was okay, it has a port wine reduction on top of the foie pate in a jar. I don't prefer pate style for my foie over terrines or torchon, but it was pretty good, could have used a sweet accent because the port wine wasn't sweet enough in my opinion. It came with mustard and some greens and cornichon, but those didn't add much tot the plate other than color. The duck confit was amazing ... the skin was perfectly crispy, and the lentils were a very good complement to the duck. The Georgia peach was a sweet and cute touch, I highly recommend. The crepe cake was pretty good but quite subtle in flavor. I guess I probably should have gone for something richer like the salon carrot cake or the mort (death) by chocolate. Cocktails: The grand champagne cocktail was very good, refreshing and sweet but not overly sweet. The strawberry Negroni was an interesting spin on the classic negroni, but too sweet in my opinion, I couldn't quite get it down. This of course is purely my preference and doesn't reflect on the quality of the cocktail itself. Overall what a fun spot, cool decor, fun vibes, great service and great food. Plus the lobby and rooftop bars are pretty cool too! Check it out read more

The service was amazing! Our server was very professional and really made it feel like a fine dining experience. She gave us all awesome recommendations and we let her surprise us with the dessert! I also had a dirty martini that was made perfectly. We sat downstairs, the restaurant is in a super cute boutique hotel, I was in Atlanta for business so I'm not sure what else the neighborhood has to offer, but the restaurant was awesome! read more

The perfect date night... though I went with a friend. The place is nice, dimmed lights and very intimate. If you want a private dinner vibe this is the perfect spot. The food was great, the waiter was pleasant and the overall theme and feel of the restaurant was warming. THE BREAD WAS AMAZING! make sure to get that to start. read more
