Loved the ambiance, my server was great. I came alone on a random Friday night around 8pm and there weren't many people seated inside. I had the gnocchi and ciabatta bread for the appetizer (very good, and I don't like mushrooms!), and lobster risotto with Brussels. 2 strong Le Frenchies to drink! Would love to come back with my friends. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is one of my top 10 restaurants in all of Atlanta. They always reserve my favorite table for me and the bartender knows my name. Their octopus is the best grilled octopus ever. The decor is my dream come true. From the tile in the bathroom to the velvet benches and the mirrored glass on the wall. read more

It is a fantastic setting for a date night or a special occasion. The wood-fired grill ads a wonderful aroma to the room. However the service felt a bit rushed, as if they were trying to turn tables over quickly rather than letting us enjoy the upscale. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Fia Restaurant - Whole Branzino - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

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. read more

Food was ok but not outstanding. Definitely not worth the $200 bill for two. Liver pate, brussel sprouts and beet-burrata sides and appetizers were solid. Many of the dishes were over-salted. Branzino - which was supposed be signature dish - was dry and under-flavored. Crème brûlée was the one standout. Crowd was uninspired and thinned out early for a Saturday night. Advanced notice about dress code was unnecessarily pretentious. Really wanted to love this place as the descriptions and reviews looked great ... sorry. read more

Fia is amazing. Starting with the ambience: from the wood burning stoves in the background to the unique decor that was relaxing and set the tone. Only downside was since it was fairly dark, photos were difficult to capture the food in its best light. Now onto the food, the menu had so many unique appetizers and entrees, that it was hard to choose. So, we didn't. Instead we ordered a number of starters and sides to share. And each picked a different entree so we could try each others too. The best ones: the hummus takes top spot (very unique as it was warm and had "stuff" in it - not exactly sure of the details but it was incredible). Next up - The octopus was very tasty. Those who had the beets and burrata loved it and the tomato tart with warm goat cheese was delicious as well. For short ribs, pork chop and the duck with blackberry sauce and pieces of pear and more (that was my favorite) all got rave reviews. Additionally the service was very good and the meal very well paced. I'd highly recommend Fia and would come back when visiting Atlanta. read more

Ate multiple meals at Fia while staying at The Burgess Hotel for a few days. Every meal (breakfast and dinner) was very good with service to match.

What a gem of a find! My girlfriends and I decided to have dinner at Fia before a comedy show at Punchline. We found Fia based on all the great reviews and decided to try it out -- so, so glad we did! Fia is located on the first floor of The Burgess hotel. There's ample free parking - another plus of dining here! Both the hotel and Fia are very classy - I love the understated but fancy decor, the elegant feel and overall ambiance. I feel Fia could be fitting for a variety of occasions: date night, business meal, girls' night out. Our server was warm, friendly, and kind to us throughout the entire meal, offering suggestions on the best things to order. Based on some of his recommendations, we ordered the following: - Pan Seared Potato Gnocchi: Beurre Monte, White Truffle, Thyme, Parmesan - Charred Octopus: Roasted Red Pepper, Artichoke, Olives, Capers, Lemon, Olive Oil - Whole Branzino: Fennel-Citrus Salad Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious! I wish I could pick a favorite between the gnocchi and the branzino, but I truly can't, so I suggest you order both. Pro tip: order extra bread to soak up some of that delectable gnocchi sauce. Both the gnocchi and branzino had powerful, unique flavors that tasted expertly crafted and truly made for an amazing experience. Fia is a restaurant that takes itself seriously - from the versatile but elegant ambiance, to the knowledgeable service to the incredibly thoughtful dishes - my entire dining experience was A++. read more

Came to Fia for valentines and I enjoyed it! At first I was worried that parking wouldn't be great because it's located in a hotel, but there is plenty of parking for restaurant guests in the back of The Burgess. The restaurant itself is pretty open to the rest of the hotel and I LOVED the decor there, especially the back museum bookstore like room! We sat close to the bar and I definitely will be back there for a night out! We started with a shared Caesar salad and their pork belly and grits app. Although I don't like grits, the pork belly sauce fit perfectly with the grits and it was my fav thing that I had all night! For my main I had the lamb shank and got to try their spaghetti. Both dishes were great, but unfortunately the menu didn't mention cilantro all over the rice of the lamb shank so I had to do a lot of eating around it lol. The meat itself was super tender and the sauce was great. We ended the night with the key lime tart which was pretty good too. Unfortunately the service was awful as it seemed like they were super understaffed, but I decided to not take off a star for that as our waiter was super apologetic and ended up giving us my drink for free. That was a nice gesture, but I would have preferred better service from such a nice establishment in the first place! Hopefully that was just an off day for them, because I'd love to come back for another nice dinner. read more

This place is excellent for its food choices. I came for a work dinner and I was pleasantly surprised by the selections. They have an extensive wine list and 10+ cocktails. The appetizer list was great and try the mushroom gnocchi and grilled watermelon salad and pork belly. For entrees I tried the lamb shank slow cook to perfection in Indian curry spices. The dessert choice is underwhelming except Maybe the goat cheese Panna cotta that is great if you don't like you dessert too sweet. Server was fantastic. Ambience a bit noisy as it's in a hotel lobby. Worth a try for sure !! read more

Fia Restaurant - Braised Lamb Shank - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Sometimes you don't want to give a five-star review, because then I would not be able to get in when I wanted. Fia is one of those restaurants. Fia is located in the lobby of the Burchess Hotel in the Chastain are of Atlanta. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The bar are is nice as well. We had John as our server and he was excellent. This is the second time we went to Fia in a month and we were extremely satisfied with our food. We had Bronzino with Spaghetti. Typical Friday night dish. Finished off with a strawberry shortcake dessert and great wine. This place is a keeper. Hopefully, y'all don't go . Great find, all kidding aside. read more

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The ambiance, the service, the cocktail offerings, and the food are superb. Not to mention that valet parking is complimentary--always a good way to start a night. We had the gnocchi, brussel sprouts, pork belly, salmon, and lamb thigh. The pork belly, gnocchi, and lamb were highlights but everything was delicious. The food was accompanied by martinis and their coconut pecan old fashioned. I know the latter probably sounds like blasphemy to purists but I was pleased to discover that the coconut was subtle and didn't overwhelm the drink. I would gladly come back here and recommend it highly. read more

OMG, Fia is by far Atlanta's best kept secret. We stumbled upon this restaurant last year after a neighboring restaurant turned my husband around for having on designer skippers, I finished my wine and he secured us a table at Fia. We've dined here 1-2x per month, whether it's pre-thanksgiving, the night before NYE, birthdays, Father's Day, celebrating big or small wins...you name it! I can't lie, the spicy sausage spaghetti is my FAVORITE....but everything on the menu slaps! No one is making fennel and vidalia anion soup! Try the lamb, try the short ribs, try the giant prawn coconut curry, try the faroe island salmon...when you run out of suggestions, invite me and I'll tell you what else you should try!

Fia Restaurant - Spicy Pork Sausage Spaghetti - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Fia is more than the restaurant located in Buckhead's Burgess Hotel; it celebrates Mediterranean cuisine featuring wood-fire grilled specialties. Fia is open daily for breakfast and dinner. The hotel is located near the intersection of Piedmont and Roswell Roads and is MARTA-accessible via the 5 bus. I love the eclectic yet comfortable vibe of the Burgess Hotel, so I visit the hotel weekly to take in the artwork while working, enjoy a glass of wine, and eat some of the best dishes in Atlanta. The main area feels like home and actually has a library and formal dining room. The bar and restaurant also have a cozy, intimate atmosphere where you feel like you are among friends. I visit regularly, in part because of the kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable staff that work at the Burgess. Their customer service is consistent, whether it is Monday afternoon or Friday evening. The Butternut Squash Soup is so rich, creamy, with the bacon and pecans providing just the right texture. It is literally a warm hug and can be enjoyed on even the hottest day of the year. The Gnocchi stock is delicious. I do not enjoy mushrooms; however, I enjoy the jus. The gnocchi is soft and pillowy. I will note that there is a lot of mushroom in this dish (even if you ask for the minimal). The creaminess of the poached egg in the Jumbo Asparagus balances well with the slight tang of the lemon butter and the saltiness of the parmesan cheese and pork. The asparagus is perfectly crispy. I order this every time I eat at Fia. The Pork Belly is another must-order. The richness of the protein balances some of the creamiest grits in Atlanta. The microgreens are a nice addition, as they cut through the sweetness of the Jack and Coke glaze on the pork belly. The Spicy Pork Sausage Spaghetti is flavorful, and the Calabrian chilis provide a nice kick of spice. I am a Parmesan cheese fan, so I tend to ask to amp up the spice and cheese. The Mr. B. Burger is good, but it was not memorable for the price. I wanted more of the bacon tomato jam, but I appreciated the pickled onions as they provided nice acidity. The fries are tasty with the parmesan shavings and house-made ketchup.specialties read more

A stunning restaurant, Fia features a boutique cocktail bar, wood-fire grill, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. I had a bit of difficulty locating Fia, mainly because I didn't know it was inside The Burgess Hotel. Once I found it, everything else was smooth sailing. I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of free parking! My friend and I made reservations for an early dinner on a Friday evening. The restaurant wasn't quite busy yet when we arrived, but started to fill up as the evening went on. Our server was fantastic. I wish I remembered her name. She was very attentive and helpful. She made great suggestions. My friend and I ordered the following: Espresso martinis Pan seared potato gnocchi Whole branzino Crispy Brussels sprouts Fingerling potatoes We shared everything, except for the martinis -- we each got our own. :) We started with the pan seared potato gnocchi which was our server's recommendation. It came with beurre monte, white truffle, thyme, and parmesan and was incredible. Everything else was excellent; cooked and seasoned to perfection. The branzino is great for sharing especially if you get a couple of sides. We ordered plenty for the two of us. Our sweet server heard we were celebrating so she brought us a delicious and creamy creme brulee. Perfect ending to our night! Food, service, and ambiance were all on point. Fia is a little pricey, and worth every penny! Great place for date nights and/or other special occasions. read more
