    AMAZING meal and experience at Fia. Yelp directed us here and it was just as great as other reviewers stated. Located in the Burgess Hotel, this hidden gem had me considering a return the next day. When I walked in I was stunned by the beautiful and intentional decor. Such a cute entry, bar, lobby and restaurant - made me wish I was staying at the hotel! We were seated promptly and received excellent service. We had an idea of what to order based on reviews, but the server provided additional recommendations. He was awesome. For starters, we shared pan-seared potato gnocchi with an order of grilled ciabatta on the side to soak up that delicious sauce. This is a must try!!! It was so good, I could have enjoyed it as my meal. The flavor was out of this world, the chef definitely got it right! I chose the braised lamb shank for my entree. Another banger. So tender it fell off the bone. Flavorful..Moist... SO good! The portion was huge too, it could be shared by two unless you have a big appetite. It was a whole meal for me another day. I can't say it enough, the chef really understands flavor profiles and how to make them come to life. Didn't order dessert, but I did have the coconut pecan old fashioned and Le Frenchie. Both were good but Le Frenchie was really my speed. Had the best time and experience here. I would visit in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Atlanta.

    Melinda was the sweetest and so knowledgeable about the menu. She has excellent recommendations. Incredible food and service! I so regret modifying my lamb shank order to ask for potatoes instead of rice. It's swimming in the most delightfully flavorful sauce and I sure wish I had some rice. The fingerling potatoes are excellent as well. The cocktail recommended by the waitress is on point. I can't wait to come back next month and stay here. This might be my only place to eat! I was very skeptical about these reviews since this is the restaurant in my hotel. I usually stay away from restaurants in hotels. It's a beautiful space and has been packed both nights of my stay - Monday and Tuesday. I had to check it out. I bet this is packed on the weekends and would recommend a reservation during those times. There's a large bar area.

    Butternut Squash Soup

    A beautiful relatively small restaurant inside of the Burgess hotel. Service was great, and all the food we ordered was delicious. We had the butternut squash soup, potato gnocchi, bread app, split the special of the wagyu Wellington and brussel sprouts. They accommodated my kids. My mom just said the sausage pasta wa just ok. Had a high chair and my 3 and 4 year old were able to get butter noddles and chicken tenders with fries. Even on a Friday it was easy to grab a last minute reservation.

    Spicy Pork Sausage Spaghetti

    Chef's Special Was a Hit Stopped in for dinner and tried the chef's special -- a creamy pasta dish with tender meat and perfectly cooked tagliatelle. It was rich, flavorful, and just the right portion to satisfy without overdoing it. The sauce clung to every ribbon of pasta like it knew what it was doing. The atmosphere had that "old luxury" vibe -- dim lighting, classic decor, and just enough quiet to hold a proper conversation. It felt intentional, like a throwback to when dining out was an experience, not a rush. I appreciated the slower pace and the focus on quality. Would absolutely return -- and next time, I'll be asking what the chef's got cooking before I look at the menu.

    The moment you walk into this restaurant you're taken away by the decor! It's located inside the Burgess Hotel on Piedmont in Buckhead. There is valet parking. They have an open kitchen so you can see the chef and staff working away! The staff was nice and very attentive. The food was absolutely amazing in fact I'm craving the gnocchi as I type. It was so flavorful and worth the price! I also had the branzino, prepared to perfection! The mocktails were really good as well! My friends also enjoyed the spaghetti, octopus, & scallops. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fine dining experience with amazing food!

    This is a gorgeous restaurant located inside of a really nice boutique hotel. We didn't have a reservation but we were able to snag seats at the bar before it got busy. For drinks we tried the butter pecan old fashioned which was really balanced but strong in a good way. For dinner we tried the shrimp appetizer, duck Special and the burger. Everything was delicious. The burger tasted like it was cooked on an open flame. I would deductible go back for cocktails or for dinner.

    Great service. Easy location with free parking. I felt this was an expensive restaurant with gratuity at 20% automatically added for just two people. With 2 meals, a salad, 1 appetizer and one cocktail the bill was $180. The meal was not a $180 meal but decent enough quality and experience. Like the kitchen concept and fire grill but do not need to return.

    Some of the best restaurants are in hotels. Anytime I am in town I have to go to Fia. The wood grilled fish is so fresh and light. Not pictured is the grilled octopus which also was great. Definitely a great dinner spot.

    Outside. Storefront. Main entrance and driveway. Fia Restaurant is located inside the Burgess Hotel. Free self-parking around the building.
    Daniel B.

    I give Fia Restaurant 4.5 stars rounded up to 5. This restaurant lived up to the hype, for the most part. For a nice night out in Buckhead, this place fits the bill. The cuisine is New American and Mediterranean. Fia is pronounced "fee-uh." It's Italian for flickering flame or little fire. The restaurant opened in December 2019 inside the Burgess Hotel, a boutique hotel. The hotel's co-owner and executive chef is named Burges Jokhi. Burgess and Burges. Coincidence? Burges owns the place with his partner, Freny Jokhi. The hotel bar, Mr B Bar, was named after Freny's dad, Keki Bunshah. The Burgess used to be a Wingate by Wyndham. Initially, the Burgess was part of Wyndham's Trademark Collection. Now, it's in Marriott's Tribute Portfolio. Hotel restaurants are notoriously hit or miss. I'm happy to report Fia is one of the best hotel restaurants I've dined at in metro Atlanta and one of the better ones anywhere. Fia was named a Yelp Top 100 US Restaurant in 2022 (#32). Reservations are recommended. It was packed during our Saturday night visit. Those without a reservation either had to sit "outside" at the bar or wait until one of the last seatings of the night. That night, I noticed a walk-in party return to be seated around 9pm. Book your reservation using OpenTable and earn dining points which can be used to redeem restaurant discounts, Amazon gift cards, hotel stays, and more. Free self-parking is available on the sides and back of the hotel. For a hotel of this "caliber," the parking did strike us as a bit sketch at night. And getting from the parking lot to the front of the hotel involved walking onto the driveway and into traffic. Not the safest. The restaurant and hotel are gorgeous. It's a distinct, eclectic mix of both traditional and modern design, decorated with art from different cultures. It sounds gaudy, but they managed to pull it off. The international flair reminds me of The Consulate restaurant in Midtown. Fia's dining room is cozy and offers a variety of tables and seating -- white tablecloth, wood and stone surfaces, booths, banquettes, and armchairs. There's also an outdoor patio. During our dinner visit, the drink menu featured over a dozen cocktails from Mr B Bar plus wine and bottled and canned beer. The food menu had many salads and apps (e.g., Warm Goat Cheese & Tomato Tartlet, Grilled Giant Prawn), a handful of entrees (e.g., Braised Lamb Shank), several woodfired items (e.g., A5 Wagyu Ribeye, Bell & Evans Moroccan Chicken), and large sides. Here's what three of us had: Specialty Cocktails * Coconut Pecan Old Fashioned ($17) - coconut-washed bourbon, spiced pecan demerara, bitters * "Dirty" Martini ($18) - vodka, Italian vermouth, olives * Base Camp ($17) - vodka, rose nectar, grapefruit Wines by the Glass * Red / Cabernet ($17) - Katherine, Alexander Valley, CA 2021 Salads & Appetizers * Beets & Burrata ($18) - sherry balsamic vinaigrette, basil oil, pickled onion, toasted pistachios * Pan-Seared Potato Gnocchi ($19) - beurre monte, white truffle, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese * Pork Belly ($17) - Jack and Coke glaze, heirloom grits * Charred Octopus ($19) - roasted pepper, artichoke, olives, capers, lemon, olive oil * Grilled Ciabatta ($7) - tomato-rubbed, chimichurri Entree * Pan-Seared New England Scallops ($37) - saffron risotto, artichoke, oven-roasted tomato, basil From the Fia Woodfired Grill * 8 oz Center-Cut Filet ($49) - cognac peppercorn sauce * Whole Branzino ($42) - fennel-citrus salad Shareable Side * Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($13) - pear gastrique Dessert * Bananas Foster ($15) - vanilla gelato Everything was excellent, both in taste and presentation. The plating was beautiful. Each dish was a work of art. The attention to detail was evident. The tableware was unique and artistic, some with colorful floral patterns. My favorites dishes were the Pan-Seared Potato Gnocchi, Pork Belly, and Pan-Seared New England Scallops. Between the mushrooms and cheese, the gnocchi dish was packed with umami. Buttery too, but not excessive. And the gnocchi had perfect texture. The quality of the pork belly was terrific. The meat and grits were delicious. The scallops were fresh and plump -- among the best I've had in recent memory. Together with the risotto and veggies, the dish was really tasty. If you like burrata and octopus, I recommend both the Beets & Burrata and Charred Octopus appetizers. They didn't disappoint. The beets were well seasoned. The octopus was tender and flavorful. The Grilled Ciabatta turned out to be a great recommendation from our server. It worked better as a side than an app. The Whole Branzino was well executed and fileted to have barely any bones, which I appreciated -- another wonderful dish. The Bananas Foster wasn't finished tableside, but was still fantastic. The drinks were superb as well. I enjoyed the "Dirty" Martini in particular and I usually don't like martinis. Our server Zoe S was amazing. She was very friendly and attentive.

    (don’t mind my username) I have a question, what is the age limit? I have a feeling it’s for kids but I’m not for sure.

    I doubt there's an age limit. The food is for grown ups, ie I don't there's a kids menu.

    Burgess hotel. How is the food?

    Amazing. Technically it's Fia's food not the hotels but the restaurant is inside the hotel and has the same owner.

On a cold afternoon, I finally decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. I ordered the 50/50 burger and a Caesar salad. The burger is essentially a smash-style setup with onions, bacon, two patties, and cheese. I was genuinely impressed. I didn't put it down once I started. After that, we shared an 8-inch Margherita pizza, which was the perfect size to split without feeling overstuffed. I washed it all down with their house-made lemonade, which was so good a refill felt mandatory. The service was friendly and quick. The dimly lit dining room sets a cozy tone, yet you can still catch the game on one of the many TVs. Everything felt organized and well run. I'll definitely be back. .

My girlfriend came for pizza. I believe she had a Margarita pizza maybe "beam me up Scotty" I'm not sure. I came for what I remembered to be seven lamps's old burger. Or at least something similar. My burger came with a Caesar salad which I love. I also enjoyed an old-fashioned. Our server was lovely and informative. However, my old-fashioned was yummy, but on the sweeter side. Next time, and I think there will be a next time, I will ask if they can make it less sweet. Also, the cherry was completely wrong. At least it wasn't good. I take my cherries very seriously in my old-fashioned. My burger was good and the Caesar salad was delicious. However, it just didn't hit the way that I had hoped. The restaurant was also out of Tabasco. They gave me a buffalo sauce which in my opinion was gross. I hope this restaurant finds its bold audacious way of telling the neighborhood who they are and what they offer. I feel like they're trying to figure out what the neighborhood wants. I'll give it a few months and come back. I work in the area. I was Just disappointed by the lack of WOW.

I am only writing a review on here because of their dishonest response. I booked my wedding dinner here for 18 people. We were running about half an hour late and let the restaurant know. We thought it would be fine because our reservation slot was for 2.5 hours, which is plenty of time. From the moment we arrived service was extremely slow. Drinks took forever to come and some were forgotten. My friend got a virgin raspberry mojito and it was so sour it was undrinkable. We had asked multiple times for one regular menu to order from and for some simple syrup for the mojito, neither of which we got. We pretty much had one server for our table of 18 people, and he was serving other tables as well. He told us at the start that another server would be helping but she was barely seen. It got to the point where my husband and I had to get up to talk to management. They were apologetic, gave us a bottle of rose, and asked how they can make it better. I told them that things need to be on time not just because we were approaching the end of our reservation but also because we had plans right after. Service was still slow and once we were finished we were still sitting and waiting for the check. We ended up being late to our other plans. Keep in mind this was our wedding day. We had just gotten married and everybody was in a great mood. We were nice and clearly communicated our needs even though service was lacking throughout the whole dinner. I write a review and then a day later they reply to my review, telling lies to try and discredit me. As if the poor service during dinner wasn't enough, their timing and dishonesty reflects their lack of respect for their customers. We spent over $2000 which included a 22% gratuity fee. Such a waste of money. You couldn't pay me to come here again. If you're looking for a restaurant for a wedding, proposal, anniversary, celebration, graduation, reunion, date, large party, or really anything, save yourself the trouble. They just might treat you the way we were treated, and then lie about it to try and make you look bad.

    In my last review, I suggested I may go back, sit at the bar and have the seared tuna salad and a…read moredessert. Tried to do just that two Thursday evenings in a row. No seats. The bar is very popular. Good for them. I'm clearly not the only person that loves this place.

    Title: Lost a Loyal Customer -- Management Failed…read more I'll start by saying I previously gave this location a 5-star review because I genuinely loved it. That review still stands for what it was -- but this is about what happened next. About 3-4 months ago, I stopped in after work wearing medical scrubs and clogs. The hostess turned me away at the door, citing what she called a dress code. Fine -- except I could clearly see guests already seated inside wearing sandals. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told it was a "strict policy" and offered a to-go order instead. No explanation for the double standard. No accountability. Just a dismissal. I've been coming here for years and never had an issue with my work attire. And I've since learned I'm not alone -- friends have described similar experiences at this location. I don't throw around the word "profiling" lightly. But when enforcement is this inconsistent, it's hard to arrive at any other conclusion. The food is good. The servers have always been great. But management completely dropped the ball, and that's enough for me to walk away for good.
