    bourbon roasted salmon
    Danielle J.

    We were in town for the World Cup and booked a reservation at Whiskey Bird for Thursday night at 6:30. We took an uber but there was a parking lot across the street and plenty of street parking. What a fun place! We had the following dishes: Ahi tuna gyoza tacos - my favorite dish of the night Crispy brussels Thai steak & noodle salad Bourbon roasted salmon Everything was delicious! We shared all the dishes. My daughter had the buttered noodles off the kids menu. Plenty of options on the kids menu! Service was friendly and our server helped us choose options. There are great cocktail options. We had an aviation and midnight margarita. The vibe and ambiance are perfect for a fun GNO or date night. I appreciated the robust kids menu so we could go out as a family and I would be able to have a great meal at a local spot!

    10% military discount! I came here after my Pilates workout. I was gonna work from here but there is no Wi-Fi. It definitely would be better with Wi-Fi because I love the space, I could work form here. The chicken tacos were just the right amount for lunch. I also grabbed the tuna toast, it was good it just needed a little bit more razzle-dazzle for me. The gimlet drink made with vodka or gin was refreshing! But not on the menu but still you can request it. A hibiscus limeade was also good. Jamie as the bartender and she was a sweetheart. I will be back. Thank you guys.

    Out of towner, so take my review as is. Seating in a Thursday at 5:45 was no effort. I made a reservation for 5 which was not needed. The staff are awesome. Service was excellent but the place stayed about 50% full the time we were there. I like the ambiance. It's open, modern, seats can be a bit tight. I opened for a happy hour bourbon based drink which was a tall, iced and light on the bourbon (4/5). I then ordered the bourbon salmon on rice for the main course. It was decent (4/5). The dish was swimming in a sweet teriyaki. It seems kinda strange to scoop up rice and salmon, then drain out extra sauce. Dinner mates had the burger and I was a bit envious. They seemed to really like it. Would I return? Well... they are lots of places to try in Atlanta, but I'll keep it in my list of possibilities.

    Yakitori - tofu, sweet potato, mushroom, chicken

    I had been hearing about this place for so long and was so excited to try it. The ambiance inside is very cute - honestly would be a great date spot as it's not too loud and the tables are spread nicely. The food itself was superb. We started with yakitori skewers - I'm vegetarian so I had the sweet potato, tofu, and mushroom. Oh my god the mushroom ones are something I dream about! So delicious. I absolutely loved the other two as well, but the mushroom was really the standout here (which is saying a lot coming from me because I rarely prefer mushrooms). For my main I had the coconut lime tofu. This was tasty and well made. I do wish this tofu had a little more marinade/seasoning to it as it was just a fried tofu atop the curry, but the tofu was really well made, and the curry itself was flavorful and surprisingly light. I didn't try any cocktails this time, but I'm itching to come back to do so! Love this spot and would absolutely recommend :)

    Whiskey bird is always delicious!! The food is so unique- you can't get food like this anywhere else in the city! It's in such a great part of Morningside/Virginia Highland making it the perfect addition to your visit to the area. They have a great brunch, dinner and even just a great spot for drinks. The patio outside is also super cute once the weather is nice! Theres multiple free parking lots around and street parking.

    Avocado Toast
    Lou E.

    Amazing. Had our first dining experience on a Sunday Brunch and it was fantastic. There were seven of us in our party and it was a hit with all. Most ordered something different. We had the Avocado Toast and the Hong Kong Fried Chicken and Waffle. A couple of our friends hand the Bao Benedict. The Bubble Waffle was a first for us. It was beautiful and the best waffle we ever tasted. The fried chicken was very good also (wish it didn't have a garlic taste). Although we would get it again. The Avocado Toast was the best looking dish on the table. The grilled toast was topped with smashed avocados and then topped with radishes and an everything bagel seasoning. Tasty. The Bao Benedict looked amazing. And got great compliments. Service was outstanding. Prices were reasonable. Whiskey Bird took our reservation for eleven...thank goodness. Highly recommend and will definitely return

    Happy Hour
    Marian D.

    There happy hour is nice. Everything was super yummy, drinks included. This was a good stop for the happy hour but it wasn't as lively as I've heard it to be. We wanted to stop by to be social but it was a fairly mild crowd. Puppies are allowed on the patio and the staff really make your doggie feel welcomed.

    Came here for happy hour with coworkers and I thoroughly enjoyed! All prices were reasonable and the drinks were very tasty. All of the food was delicious. Great service and we sat on the outdoor patio in the back. It was perfect on the day we went because the weather was nice.

    Decided to catch happy hour with friends after work and I'm so glad my friend selected this place! The quality of service was good and the quality of food and drink drinks were even better! This is the perfect spot for anything: a date night, girls night, or happy hour with some friends or coworkers after work. Though it gives more of a mature vibe, I did see families there, and I do believe that there are items on the menu in which kids will also enjoy. The happy hour does end at 6 PM so be sure you catch it before then, honestly the prices are well worth it! I believe they have a great selection of good quality food and drinks on the menu. I would even go back to this place outside of happy hour because I definitely want to try more items on the menu. As far as parking, there is a lot across the street that provides free parking. I was able to park there at ease and it was in such close proximity of the restaurant. Looking forward to going back to this place with more friends!

    Came here when we stayed downtown for a night. The inside was way more casual than I expected. We kind of came towards the end of the night, but we still had enough time to order from the kitchen. The mixed drinks I had were so so. I wasn't overly impressed with them, but let me tell you how much I loved their yakitori skewers. They were AMAZING AMAZING.! Full of flavor and cooked just right. We tried chicken meatballs, sweet potato, chicken, tofu... They were all good. I wish more places had this type of menu option. They are so healthy, and it's nice to be able to try a bunch of variety without feeling crazy stuffed. Overall, I really like their menu, they have a nice variety with some interesting dishes like Japanese street fries. Tuna goyza tacos, spiced cauliflower, sweet potato burger. I got there tuna Poké bowl, which was decent, but definitely did not match up to the skewers. Service was OK, maybe because we were there towards the end of the night and they are trying to get ready to close up shop. I heard they have a really great branch and I'd love to try it sometime. Again, if you come here, please get the skewers. They reminded me of a place we went to in LA. Really on point. This in itself was enough to bring me back!

    The service was great from the time you walked in! Greeted at the door, sat promptly after arriving early, and Wisdom was a great waiter. She offered advice on the menu, made suggestions, and was extremely pleasant. The food was good for brunch as well with the smash burger and BLT. I would say the potatoes with the burger were on the saltier side and a little disappointed they didnt have yellow mustard. Outside of that go check them out and ask for Wisdom!

    I first went to this place after hearing about this through my social media. The ambiance inside is very modern and sleek. It was not too crowded and not too loud either. I first came here during happy hour and got to try a selection of different foods. I loved the Asian fusion concept and it was fun to see their spin on foods. I got the queso + wonton chips, peruvian chicken gyoza tacos, crispy rice, a drink (I forgot which one), and the Korean BBQ tofu. It is moderately priced. Service was good and food didn't take too long to come out. I came back recently for a friend's birthday and had such an excellent server! We got the okonomiyaki fries to share and I got the thai steak and noodle salad. We sat outside which was great since one of my friends could bring her dog. They also allowed us to bring a cake. We actually stayed a bit beyond closing hour but they were very gracious and didn't feel like they were trying to kick us out. Overall, would recommend this place to try if visiting Atlanta !

    Cute fusion restaurant (perfect for a chill date night)! We got seated right away on a Friday night and service was extremely quick. The food feels modern and American, while I honestly prefer a more authentic style. We ordered the thai steak and noodle salad and poke bowl. The steak (medium rare) was perfectly cooked, but wish there was more for a perfect steak to noodle salad ratio. Next time, I hope to try the sides

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.

The cucumber mint lemonade was AMAZING. Too bad it's $4 for a small glass with no refills. Now for the rest... they were out of fries, which normally come with the burger, but I was charged an extra $3 to substitute Brussels sprouts. The server never mentioned there would be an upcharge. I only found out when I got the bill. When I questioned it, she basically said she couldn't control the system. My issue isn't even the $3. If you're out of the side that comes with the meal, customers shouldn't have to pay extra for a replacement. And I definitely don't appreciate surprise charges on my bill. I had my child with me, so I wasn't about to go back and forth over $3. I paid it and kept it moving. Another surprise was that they don't offer free water. If you want water, you have to buy a bottle. Between paying for parking, paying for bottled water, and no drink refills, the little charges started adding up. I felt "nickled and dimed." The music couldn't decide what vibe it wanted. One minute we could talk normally, and the next minute we were basically at a concert. There was also a leak in the ceiling, and near the restrooms there was a smell that reminded me of old wet towels. On the positive side, the host was amazing. He was super personable and welcoming. They also turn those tables over FAST. By the time we paid, our dishes were gone and the table was already cleaned and ready for the next group. The food is what saved this review. There were just too many little things that took away from what could've easily been a 5-star experience.

The latte was ok but the cake was phenomenal. The latte had a decent flavor but it wasn't strong. Plus it tasted very grainy and milk-heavy, overpowering the coffee. My slice of cake was so moist and delicious without being too sweet. It was perfect. I'd definitely come back again more so for the desserts than the coffee. They have some indoor seating and a cozy table on the sidewalk just outside the front door.
