First time trying out this place. They seem to have a lot of good food options. I opted for the phyllo wrapped Brie. Similar to a baked Brie, it was good but not remarkable. Personally I think it would have been really good if it was a bit softer in texture. Definitely want to return to try some other things on their menu read more

Christmas Bars and Christmas Specials are my favorite. The Waiting on a Miracle drink special took the cake! With vodka, ginger beer and cranberry flavors - it was sure to steal the show and it totally did! We also had some food, which was okay - but if you're searching for drinks, this is a good find! read more

2nd trip to this place. This time we came here for brunch and brought our big dog Simba. When we arrived there was already a husky there, he was seated under the sheltered patio. We chose the table nearest the sheltered patio but were told we could only sit near the edge of the unsheltered patio since ours was not a service dog. And so we did. So if your dog is not a service dog, find a seat near the edge. Also bring your own dog bowl for water. I don't think they have bowls for your dog. We ordered 2 coffees, Victor a new server brought them out promptly in tall coffee cups. Coffee was good, not the watered-down kind. I ordered the shrimp, scallop and grits. I couldn't resist. The grits that came was a little more solid than the usual that come with gravy. The grits at Apres Diem is make with cream cheese thereby making it more hearty and with a slightly firmer cosistency. The scallops were diver scallops. I could taste the sea! It was seared to perfection. I posted a picture. Look and salivate. The shrimps were big too. Overall a very satisfying meal. read more

It was date night and time for a late night dessert before heading home. I'm sick of Cafe Intermezzo and the usual related spots, so the boo suggested Apres Diem. It was dark but it wasn't too hot, so we chose to sit outside where it wasn't as stuffy and noisy. The layout and concept is very similar to Cafe Intermezzo - the boo ordered a glass of wine and I indulged in a warm chai tea latte. We went inside the restaurant to pick out a piece of cake. After much deliberation and help from one of the servers, we chose the tiramisu. The chai tea latte came in a surprisingly large mug. It was subtle and warm in my belly. The tiramisu isn't the most authentic, but it was light and moist and hit the spot. The ambiance was romantic but chic. I loved how we were seated next to a group of sophisticated, middle-aged single men eating together. They were fun to people watch. And even though I was super full? They made the food look delicious. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely have to hit up Apres Diem for a real meal. In the meantime, this is my new Cafe Intermezzo substitute in Midtown. read more

On December 20th, my family and friends came here after a great evening spending time at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! Despite how great the food is, the service is to be desired. I called ahead and informed the manager that we had a large party, and she informed me that they could accommodate us, but that they could only do one check due to our party size (12 people). Once we arrived, we were seated in the outdoor patio area, which was completely fine. Once it was time to order our food, the waitress proceeded to inform us that she could only do one check - and that's where the PROBLEM comes in! While I understand that parties of 6 or more typically are on one check, there was a table seated behind us (6 women) and each of them received their own individual checks by the same waiter who was serving us. When I mentioned this to her, she got an attitude and proceeded to say "Well, you've already talked to the manager and she told you that." My problem with this is that there's no consistency, and I'm not sure why the waitress, Karen F, had such a bad attitude - especially when you are working - not me. Fast forward, we ordered our food and when it came out, we had several issues. Food wasn't hot, not correct as ordered and worse, my father never received his food. Overrated. Unsubscribe. No thank you. read more

Oh my gooooodness! This was the cutest place. I loved the atmosphere, the chill vibes, the live music, and offfff course, the food. I mean I was a fan of their sister restaurant Carpe Diem, and was definitely sad when it shuttered, buttttt there Apres Diem and oh how I was purely enamored as soon as I walked through the patio and into the restaurant. So my friend grabbed us a table on their super spacious patio and I must my first impression (aside from my love at first sight attitude) was that he service sucked. Like I sat down and saw 98 servers walk by but our table was invisible. It could've been because I was super hungry butttt I'm sure it was about 5 minutes before our server finally let us know they were pretty busy. Our server was a really sweet lady who let us know about the specials and answered our questions and her attitude alone made me feel better about the service. I settled for the chicken breast with roasted potatoes and seasoned veggies (carrots and broccolini) with some sauce that I can't spell but it was really good. The chicken was tender and seasoned well, the potatoes and veggies were delish with a very generously portioned meal for $23. Again, loved the ambiance and they stay open late during the week. Looks like a new date night spot has been found! read more

I love the ambiance of this restaurant (the sofa seating, the outdoor seating, the bar) and the food is always enjoyable. I've never had a bad service experience and have been here several times. I even enjoy it via Uber eats! I love the pasta, and chicken wrap. read more

Food is great and so is ambience. Service is slow and inefficient. It took well over 20 mins for my drinks and tracking down my service or one in my area was a bit if a damper. I had mussels which I noticed that on a lot of tables so I can assure you they are a hit! The garlic butter sauce that accompany them is great to dip bread in. The portion is huge even though it's listed as an appetizer it's plenty for an entree and shareable. read more

The closest you'll get to a European experience in Atlanta. Lively, fun, fresh, no rush, and loads of outdoor cafe style seating. We love this restaurant!! The Napa salad add salmon is sooo delicious I have a hard time ever trying something new, well, except the salad niciose, which rocks. Great beer selection and just looking at the dessert case is worth the calories. The wait staff, who come from all over the world, seem to enjoy working there and all wonderfully balance efficiency and being kind and considerate. read more

Just okay. Nothing was bad. But I wasn't blown away. Waffles do have a lemon after taste which might be for some but I'll take the pass on these. Coffee is extra large which is fabulous. With fresh cream. French toast was mediocre but fruit was fresh. Grits were the best thing we ate. They were creamy and basically perfect. Our waitress was sweet but didn't interact any more than she absolutely had to. Over all it fills the empty belly. There wasn't a wait and their outdoor patio (with fans) was pretty nice! read more

Amazing food and service. This place is wonderful. It has a great atmosphere and the service is great. The Toasted goat cheese is delicious, that alone is a reason to come here. Staff is friendly and the food has always been great whenever we visit. Ambiance: casual bar like atmosphere, on the weekends there is a band. Parking: there is a huge parking lot dedicated to this complex so parking is not an issue at all. read more

My parents treated Mark and I to lunch on Sunday after church. The weather is unseasonably warm so we were able to sit in the covered patio area. It was really nice with great people watching. I can't remember the waitress name but she was great. All four of us ordered different entrees. I had the vegetarian portobello sandwich with fries. It was a generous portion and was delicious!! Mark had the Greek salad and added the optional grilled chicken. It was generous and he loved it. My dad had an omelette and my mom had the gyro wrap. Everything was perfect! We ended the meal by using the free dessert offer launched from the Yelp. Sometimes I am hesitant to use coupons because I have received some ugly looks from wait staff but these people are great. The waitress acknowledged the coupon and then helped me choose a dessert and coffee. We chose the rum cake and cappuccinos. Delicious!! Overall a consistently nice place for food and service!! read more

It's important to keep expectations in check when dining here. Over the years, I've had very good meals along with a few disasters. Service, often provided by impossibly beautiful people, ranges from exceptional to the "Halley's Waitress" variety. Consistency is not one of Apres Diem's strengths. The menu is an eclectic mess, and the food can be hit or miss. I find the best way to enjoy Apres Diem is to sit at the bar and order a Guinness or cocktail and possibly an appetizer or two to share among friends. I've had mostly good luck with the baba ghanouj, the hummus, and the lobster crostini. I do enjoy Apres Diem's ambience. I just wish the food and service were more reliable. On a good day, they can be excellent. And on a bad day... well...not so much. read more

An Atlanta Institution & Always a favorite but NOT today. We were excited to come ans get some good food after visiting the Garden Lights but our experience quickly went south. We called ahead and asked if they could accommodate a large party prior to arriving and they said yes could accommodate us. But when we arrived we were greeted with rude, condescending service, 30 + minute wait for drinks, non-inclusive treatment, and just overall bad service. We were sat in the back patio near the employees Christmas party where we witnessed our waitress Karen and other staff members including the manager taking a vape break several times instead of serving us...now let's talk about the table behind us...they had EXCELLENT service and when we spoke with the manager she just shrugged her shoulders and dismissed us. I'll never come back after dining here for over 15+years... read more

This place has been our to go to for brunch or casual dining for years. This is a place where much of the Atlanta's international crowd meets...almost takes you back to Europe for a bit. The food is good, nothing to write home about, although certain items on the menu are quite tasty (my fav is the crab Benedict from the brunch menu and the Niçoise salad). Great outdoor sitting, casual, lively and amazing people. read more

I tried this place over Labor Day weekend. Had the salmon farfalle with zucchini and mushrooms which was delish. Also the mussels are amazing and you get a ton for just $7. Two complaints: outside the shopping center where the restaurant it was really smelly for some reason. My friend and I just ate inside but otherwise the patio would have been nice. And I found a small bone in my salmon. But, I would probably go back and maybe give the outside another shot. read more

So sad I didn't take pics to post . Another nice, lowkey, very mature restaurant my friend and I visited during our visit to ATL. Our waiter, Lazar, was very nice and attentive. I ordered the cocktail shrimp which was amazing and the salmon farfalle, also delicious. For drinks I ordered the Fleur de Lys which wasn't very strong. My friend ordered the oyster trio, one raw, baked, and the other stuffed (not sure with what), she loved it! They are practicing social distancing. You can dine inside or outside. read more

I came with my Brown Girl Brunch attendees and the manager as well as our server (Annabella) greeted us with a beautiful informal space to meet at. We had about 12+ ladies and we were all served with complete patience and efficiency. I had the Waffles & Eggs and a side of cheese grits with a L'Orange to drink. Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding. read more

I have been coming here for years and absolutely love it. The mussels are my favorite appetizer, served in a broth you won't be able to get enough of, so be prepared to ask for extra bread or fries to dip. The crab cakes also make for a good, light starter (2 small cakes). The beef short rib is served with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and topped with a Tamarind Au Jus. The Tamarind Au Jus was sweet but tart, and complimented the meal as I dipped into it. My partner had the seasonal ravioli and devoured it - mushrooms, tomatoes, sautéed kale all! The environment is very cozy inside as well. My one request is for them to add space heaters to the outdoor area. read more

I went to Apres Diem for brunch on Saturday with a friend. The weather was nice enough for us to sit outside on the patio in front of the restaurant. The seating is first come first serve so you seat yourself our first server was very prompt about coming to take our drink orders & food orders. I was a little disappointed to find out the Portobello mushroom sandwich was not apart of the brunch menu I really had my heart set on it but I ended up ordering the veggie frittata. We ended up moving tables because a couple sat at the table right behind us & had a fairly large dog with them and my friend is not a fan of dogs. When we moved tables we were unaware this placed us in another servers section. Our new server wasn't nearly as prompt or attentive to us. I'm not sure if she was upset that we moved to her section or what. She did not refill our water glasses until we notified another server. She also brought the check without asking if it should be together or separate or if we wanted dessert & actually we did want dessert. Needless to say she was not a great server. Now that we have that out the way on to the food my frittata was good but my breakfast potatoes were luke warm at best they tasted good but should have been warmer. My friend had the same complaint she also ordered the blackened chicken wrap that she said was just okay no wow factor to it. I was surprised to learn that for dessert you have to go inside to order and then your server brings out your selection. I didn't like that concept but we went inside & ordered cheese cake she had the chocolate mousse & I had the amaretto white chocolate cheesecake that was very good. I'm sure I gained about 5 pounds from that alone lol. Needless to say I would be willing to give them another shot. read more

Great food and service, great place for brunch with friends. Dog friendly and amazing drinks.

I had a great meal here. I went for the trout special, and the fish and veggies both seemed so fresh. The portion was very generous, I was really hungry but had trouble finishing it. The service could be a little faster, but the server was friendly and kind. I'd definitely go back! I hear they have a good brunch too. read more

Apres Diem, I want to like you, I really do. But it's probably just because I remember a time when you were so so much better than you are now. In fact, one of my two stars may just be a Nostalga Star. The location is still as charming as ever. Outdoor tables, inside dining room, a nice little bar space, even a room in back with comfy couch seating. But what on earth has happened to your service? My party of six met Saturday for brunch. We had made a reservation here on Yelp and our table was all set up and waiting for us. So score one for that! But that's also sort of where the service ended. First, part of my group had silverware wrapped in cloth napkins; a couple of us didn't. So I asked for napkins and was handed a stack of paper cocktail ones. How do you napkin your lap with little square cocktail papers? When I explained I wanted a regular napkin, my waiter just looked confused. So I got up and went over to the server station myself to get them from another employee there. For that matter, we had to ask for just about everything. Straws (again, I needed to go help myself), silverware, refills on fountain drinks, butter for biscuits, our bill at the end, etc. There was just no thought put into serving us at all. Was it easy enough to ask for these things? Sure, I guess. Was our server nice enough? Sure, I guess. But it didn't really seem like he cared about our experience. The biggest part of dining out is the dining *experience* and to have all these things overlooked was just super disappointing. I guess that's how I'd sum Apres Diem up in one word: disappointing. I wish the food could have made up for it. I ordered the scallops and shrimp with grits. Now, the scallops? Those were delicious! I'll give them that. But the shrimp was rather overcooked and rubbery, the biscuit super tiny and cold, and the grits just lukewarm as well. You can tell in the picture that cold cheese was just tossed across the top of it all; it was still cold and hard where it didn't land on the grits. I mean, come on folks. This isn't even trying. The one thing that is good here are their drinks. I had the Breakfast of Champions (I've had it before; it's still just as good) - and YUM. And they are currently offering an array of coffee cocktails; a companion had one of those and claimed it to be delicious. So, hey. There's the explanation for my second star. Grab a cocktail here if you want before a show. I'll go ahead and recommend that at least. But I wouldn't bother so much otherwise. read more

Came here for brunch and it was not my favorite by any stretch. It was decent at best. I am vegetarian so my options felt limited. I got a breakfast sandwhich of some sort (sans meat), that honestly was not memorable enough to describe. The atmosphere was confusing. It felt like the space couldn't decide if it was an evening bar, or a full blown restaurant. I'm all for a versatile joint, but this felt like it lacked an identity. New upholstery, dining furniture, paint color and decor would do this place well. It felt dark and dim- but not exactly in an inviting way. It needs a facelift for sure. There are too many other brunch spaces to compete with to not have a solid identity on the brunch scene. Or just don't do brunch/just go here for wine and tapas in the evening. Our server was very obviously hungover and did not want to be there. His mannerisms said it all. If your servers dont want to be there, why would I? read more

I found myself in Atlanta on Labor Day when apparently a lot of places are closed. Needed something that was open after 9pm for dinner, I stumbled on Apres Diem. This place is a gem! They have ample outdoor and indoor sitting and a bar and bakery. We sat inside at a cute little booth. The menu is a French theme with Latin and Mediterranean options. Our servers name was Julie and she was a delight. We ordered calamari and the fruit and frontage appetizers that came out very quickly. It set the tone for what turned out to be a very amazing meal. The calamari was typical calamari but the marinara sauce which had a subtle kick to it was really delicious. The fruit and frontage had Brie wrapped in philo dough with honey and slivered almonds over it. It was amazing. I also had a cup of the tomato bisque which had bacon pieces over the top and happen to add excellent flavor to the soup. Our entrees were very quick to follow and just as delicious. Apparently this place has been around for 30 years and I can see why. If I find myself in Atlanta, I will definitely have to stop by again. read more

Quite an interesting place, Apres Diem. It almost falls into that category of 'doing too much'. We visited on Friday around 8pm and it was fairly innocuous. Walking through a generously sized alfresco dining area (which happens to occupy most of the outdoor space in front of the theater) led to the hostess. The interior is reminiscent of an updated European bistro, it's inviting and relaxing. The dinner menu is limited and yet somehow it was hard to decide on an entree. Nothing really stood out to 'wow' me; completely subjective I realize but true nonetheless. The drink menu, however, is expansive and lends credence to the ever-growing vibe that this place is more of a trendy drinkery than a quality eatery. We noticed one middle-aged couple (if they lived to be 100) with their small grandson grow increasingly uncomfortable as the lights began to gradually turn down and the music (techno/EDM) became quite juxtaposed to the maturity of the interior. The food was mediocre and perhaps slightly overpriced. The trout was served skin on, though it was well cooked; albeit in a rather uninspired lemon/butter sauce. The vegetables were remarkably fresh and crisp. Also worth noting that the food took an unusually long time in the kitchen for its rather insipid nature and mundane plating. Service was actually typical of European bistros, which if you're unfamiliar, largely sucks (by Western standards anyway). We wrapped up around 9:30pm and the vibe had completely shifted. The alfresco dining area more closely resembled a Saturday night at Twist (for those of you that are old enough to remember that place). If you're a 30 something, quasi-successful, dating, caucasian - this is your home base. read more

My first time visiting this cool little spot. If you're looking for a cool place with great art and some better wine please visit. I had the Midnight Kiss and it features Prosecco and Saint Germain which is a fave of mine. This drink came in a champagne glass and was accompanied by smooth jazz from a live band. They featured a live Jazz band with an amazing singer named Angeline who dedicated a song to me and my date. Although we opted to sit inside due to the humidity the outdoor area was well lit and filled with couples enjoying the night sky. This is a good place for date night and they are open until I think 2am which is good for those of us who work late sometimes. Another cool thing is you can sit. anywhere you like and they also have a lounge area. I didn't get any food I was just here for good drinks and great convo. I did hear that they have great apps. SO please check it out and don't forget to bring a friend. read more

I have waited til a few visits passed before reviewing so I could try to be fair, and because I'd really hoped to love this place more by now. I like the layout, decor, etc (usually favoring the bar or outside seating) and I like the friendly service, but it's not consistent and can be really hit-and-miss depending on who serves you. The food is usually average-to-good, and I'm still looking for the dish that'll wow me. read more
