    The atmosphere is laid back and chill. I was a little disappointed that there was no longer a live band on Wednesday nights. My server was as sweet as ever. She even made a suggestion. I had the mixed berry mojito. It was rather bland and seemed watered down. It looked the part but lacked flavor. I decided to try the fried manchego cheese. This was a fascinating combination. One that intrigued me. My server even said it was one of her favorites. It wasn't bad. The grilled apple slices were absolutely delectable! This is an upscale spot to stop by whenever in the area.

    crumbled blue on the wings.. primeau!

    The Sonesta is a mid-mid-tier business hotel for those that work, eat, sleep. No rest for the wicked, as they say. Art Bar is the uncommonly good resident mid-tier business restaurant/bar and true to its name pieces of art adorn the walls (which you can take with you for the listed price). I highly recommend for the food, the service and the buffer it provides to the world outside. WHAT DID YOU HAVE: - Art Bar Swiss Burger - Lettuce/Red Onion Medium, tasted really good, healthy portion of beef, ordered dry - Fries - perfect.. salted evenly, long cut, crispy - Buffalo Wings - star of the show, spicy and sweet, the sauce has bbq, molasses, sprinkled with crumbled blue cheese - Heineken - Van Winkle Bourbon (didn't have, just shocked to see it, small batch has a wait-list) SERVICE: Excellent, dined at the bar. Eric and Barbara took care of our party all night long. AMBIANCE: I'm sure most of the time its a grab bag, like any hotel, but on this occasion there were a number of people in different groups elevating the energy in the room. NBA games added to it. SUMMARY: Surprisingly good food and service, ambiance is going to be an undetermined variable, but add the unexpected Rip Van Winkle and it might be worth a local's trip. Ultimately you come here because you are here, but I look forward to life's simple pleasures and this is one of them.

    The menu does not match the pictures of the advertise. I had the salmon anD sadly it was tasteless. On an other day I had a burger and it was uneventful either.

    The Artbar is inside the Sonata hotel on Pleasant Hill. I never knew it was there. I got an appetizer of deviled eggs that were bland nothing special but for $6 I was disappointed. I had a couple of glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon that were good. It was pretty quiet but the bartender was attentive without being pushy.

    Stayed in the hotel for 3 days and had dinner at this spot. It was delicious. The setting is also pleasing. I would've never expected a place like this to be located in a hotel.

    Nice restaurant and bar in the Sonesta hotel. Good variety of seating options with regular dining sets, lower comfy chairs and stools around the bar. Service is friendly and attentive. Various nice beers on tap and bottled. Food took a good while come out when I ate there. Pretty tasty though. There's live music on Wednesdays.

    Something about these wings really floated my boat

This visit they had a mascarpone ravioli with scallops, spinach, sundried tomatoes, and lobster-butter sauce. Outside seating is a winner with umbrellas for the summer and propane burners for winter.

The service was already terrible when we were told to sit down wherever and then this guy comes out of nowhere and sits us down at a terrible spot, and keeps coming back to asks questions even when we ordered steak he came back to ask what temperature which is very odd because it's normally asked when you order THE steak. Ambiance is okay very simple and bland, could be more vibrant.

This is in the heart of the…read morea shopping/restaurant complex at the intersection of Main Street and Lawrenceville Street, bound by Hill Street towards the rear. Dreamland faces the back towards Abbots Bridge Road, there's a large parking lot out front but good luck finding parking there, especially on busy weekends. I recommend going around the corner and parking in front of Coleman Middle School across the street (when school is out of session like on weekends). Otherwise I'd time my visits to off-hours and during the week day. Where to begin with this one? I was a frequent visitor to the Dreamland BBQ that occupied a free-standing building on Peachtree Parkway, just south east of the Forum. From what I remember that building had a fire and I believe that this location is where the restaurant ended up. To start, this is a massive space with high ceilings, a large bar and plenty of seating - very different from the cozy confines of the original location. We attended the exceptional Le Bon fest held by Goodword Brewing nearby and being ready for something more substantial than a few oysters, we ended up at Dreamland. It took a while to be seated as there wasn't anyone out front - there was one booth already seated in an otherwise empty restaurant, so it could be our timing wasn't the best. We ended up being seated at the bar and our server was delightful, super nice and personable. When I went to the restroom to wash my hands, as soon as I touched the single sink valve, water geysered into the air about 4 feet. The other sink wasn't working at all. Anyway I managed, and also reported what was happening as there really wasn't a way to turn it off. My friend Ken ordered the roasted chicken with a double side of green beans. I ordered the half-slab and deferred ordering any sides as from experience, 6 bones tend to be a lot of meat. What I received was something of a joke - the bones were tiny and hardly had any meat on them filling about half the basket. Now I understand that sometimes getting the smaller side of a rack, you end up with less food, but this was somewhat ridiculous. It's been a long time since I've left a BBQ place hungry, but there it is. If the service had been bad I probably would have left a 1 star review, but I'll give the place the benefit of the doubt. Very disappointing.

My wife loves the music atmosphere in the building, you can also see other customers grooving to the music so they know how to please their customers ears. I love the artwork they have in the back, makes you feel like a NY graffiti alley. I find it very interesting I guess since I'm interested in this type of art. Now for the service, every time we come by we always run into a very nice & sweet lady but we can tell one of the employees does have an attitude from the group. I'm glad we didn't have to deal with her, life is stressing but when you come to work it's best to leave the attitude behind & put your best A game while you're at work. Let's go now with food, I enjoy soul food. It's just some kind of food that gets you stuffed. Makes me feel like I'm enjoying a home cooked meal, their food is delicious. I'm not picky & I don't like down shamming anyone's business. That's not how I roll, I have a business myself & I know I'd dislike someone who understands situations or value of what they do. But, I did have an issue on the temperature of the food. It comes out lukewarm & it's a little disappointing because you're waiting at least 10-15 mins before you get your food. I would atleast appreciate the food being a little warmer. In this order, my wife got oxtails with Mac & Cheese & Fried Okra. She was pleased with her order! I love their cornbread muffin, it has amazing flavors! I got the honey croissant this time with my smoked chicken, it wasn't bad but I guess I was digging the honey on the croissant. Chicken was good, i enjoyed it & the veggies are great. I got steam cabbage, their seasonings were amazing. I also got veggies, they came out great. I absolutely admire their fresh squeezed agave lemonade! It tastes amazing, I recommend anyone to give it a try. I made a sun-joy out of it! I can't complain, their food will get you stuffed for the prices they have going on here. Each plate is around $15.00-24.00.

We decided to join their waitlist online, which was a great choice--it significantly shortened our wait time, and we appreciated receiving a text when our table was ready so we could head right in. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so I definitely recommend joining the waitlist or making reservations ahead of time if possible. I've heard they also have another location in Atlanta, Georgia, where parking is required and they offer specialty lemonades. The vibe here was really nice--great music, friendly staff, and beautiful decor. We especially loved the thoughtful touch of flowers on the tables in honor of Mother's Day. Our waitress was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the menu, including specialty items and pricing. For food, we ordered the shrimp and waffles, chicken tenders with waffles, and the catfish plate, which comes with two sides--we chose potatoes and eggs. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. We also tried their lemonades, which come in a variety of flavors like strawberry, pineapple, and blueberry, and they are refillable. The only downside for us was that they only offer bottled water--we would have preferred the option of having a regular cup of ice water at the table. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was flavorful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Pricing is around $20+ per person. I just wish they had a location like this in Arizona!
