Funny enough, I had just finished a hot yoga class, and my stomach had been barking at me for food before class even started. As I walked out, I spotted Girl Diver and immediately thought, "Yep... this looks like exactly where I need to be." The first thing that caught my attention was the Girl Dinner special. It included a Caesar salad, potatoes, and a martini (or mocktail if you prefer), and the salad and potatoes were bottomless. I was already sold. Our server, Ashley, was absolutely delightful. She actually told us later that she was new, which completely surprised us because you never would've guessed. She was warm, attentive, and such a natural with everyone she interacted with. Huge shout-out to her for making our first visit such a great experience. For my drink, I ordered the lychee martini, and it was delicious. The potatoes were perfectly satisfying after a workout, and yes... I absolutely took advantage of the unlimited Caesar salad. Honestly, for $20, the Girl Dinner is an incredible value. Parking was another bonus. While there are a few surface spots in the shopping center, there's also a free parking garage with plenty of spaces, which made getting in and out really easy. The hospitality didn't stop with our server. Everyone we encountered was welcoming, and someone was checking in on our table every few minutes to make sure we had everything we needed. To top it all off, the DJ had the entire place vibing. The playlist was basically a millennial's dream--so many songs that instantly took me back to my high school days. We were also told that their brunch is just as lively, so you can bet I'll be back to experience that too. Overall, this was such a fun first visit. Great food, great drinks, amazing customer service, convenient parking, and an atmosphere that made me want to stay a little longer. I'll definitely be back. read more

I came here to watch the Knicks play during the NBA finals. Girl Diver turned into a Knicks supporter bar which made the environment so fun! They have lots of TVs spread throughout the place and had a chopped cheese special which some of my friends ordered and enjoyed. I got the falafel plate which was delicious! The falafel is flavorful and moist, while still being crispy. The owner got everyone shots after the incredible Knicks comeback. There were some issues with some of the meals and then also with the computer at the end, but they constantly communicated with us and offered some discounts or more shots as a thanks for being patient. I really appreciated the transparency and generosity. read more

Girl Diver has rebranded and is now serving Mediterranean cuisine. I enjoyed the previous menu, but thought it was overpriced and the service sucked. We went specifically for the bottomless martinis for $20. This deal is only on Friday from 12-3 at the bar. They have lunch specials as well. I chose the power lunch with beef kofta, whipped labneh, patatas bravas and a caesar salad. I really enjoyed the salad and the labneh with blueberries. The beef kofta was ok, but a little dry. The patatas bravas tasted old like they were reheated. I really enjoyed the martinis. The flavors I had included lychee, vanilla lavender, lemon drop and a strawberry martini. The staff were wonderful this time! Although I prefer the old menu, I will return for the martini special and to try something different from the menu. read more

I've come here a couple of times, and finally ordered some food my second time there. I ordered the shish kebab wrap, which was insanely delicious! The meat was cooked just right and the flavors hit you immediately! There was an unusually long wait for my food to the point that I had to ask for updates a couple of times, but I'll admit that it was worth it. The bartender also made me a drink version of the white tea shot, which was absolutely delicious! read more

Girl Diver - Shish Kabob Wrap - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This spot has been on my list for years and I finally got a chance to stop by and try some of the items and check the vibes. Apparently the entire menu has recently changed, and the guest that came with me were expecting a completely different type of food. We made the best of it in order several items from the menu. I would say the best thing I had was the garlic bread and the meatballs. I would also complement the Greek salad. It was very fresh. read more

Second time here and was not impressed. Meatballs were extremely dry. The garlic bread had no flavor. It tasted like over toasted Hawaiian rolls with cheese on top. I love Labneh usually and was very disappointed with the whipped Labneh as well. After it took almost 40mins and attitude from the server to receive the dip it was underwhelming in the flavor department. I ordered the G Spot cocktail. It tasted like lemonade with whipped cream. :( Music was fine, but not enjoyable enough of an experience for me to go back. read more

I have driven by this restaurant so many times, and I finally got the chance to dine in. There is ample garage parking and some free street spaces. The restaurant is right across from AMC. The ambiance is nice inside--beautiful decor. The music is 80s rock and pop, which I enjoy, but I wish there was more variety. I went pretty early in the evening, so I was one of only a few people. My server was sweet but a bit chatty. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, pork chilli wontons, crab Rangoon dip, and some sort of apple drink. Everything I ordered seemed excessively sweet. The dip had a sweet chilli sauce on top. The Brussel sprouts had a similar sauce, and so did the wontons. It was a bit too much. Also, I ordered a few baked oysters and they never came. When I inquired about them, I was told by one server that the oysters got sent to a different table and the order was messed up due to shift changes. My actual server went missing and then reappeared about 20 minutes later, stating that she had a meeting and asked why I didn't like my oysters. I thought she left?? Clearly, there was some sort of misunderstanding or lack of communication on their end. Mistakes happen, but it did affect my experience. Not sure if he was the manager or what, but he said he would give me something on my next visit. I don't know his name, he doesn't know mine, and don't know what I will get lol , but maybe he will remember my face. In total, my 3 apps and drink came up to 66 bucks, which in my opinion was wayyy too expensive. Girl Diver has potential and is a convenient and elevated experience in the area, but it was just ok and I don't feel the need to return. read more

I love a restaurant where the energy is great and the food is just as amazing. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the owner and he was telling us the history of the paining and why he called it GirlDiver, amazing story we started off with the fried rice and tacos, which was shrimp and pork meat so delicious so juicy we had the pork belly that was just Deliciously flavored and then we ended up with the lavender drink and my sister had this delicious cucumber drink that was just really refreshing and then we ended off our meal not with dessert but with oysters and what a great decision that was the oysters were delicious. They were juicy full, not overly salty because sometimes when you get the Parmesan cheese, it is salty, but not here. Amazing will definitely return and it's right located across the parking lot so ample parking. read more

We originally planned to attend the free screening of Mission Impossible at the AMC across the street; however, when we arrived the line was wrapped around the building so we decided to go ahead and get dinner. We ended up wandering into Girl Diver on a whim and I'm so glad we did. We started with the cheeseburger sliders which were excellent. So tasty, well cooked, and perfectly seasoned. My partner actually ordered another round of these for his entree. I ordered the Thai chicken fried rice. It was really good. I wanted it to have more spice though so I asked for sriracha and everything was copacetic. I loved it. Also Richard's (The Restaurant Owner) playlist was soulful and such a vibe. That definitely added to our great experience here along with the great service from the bar. I'll definitely be back. read more

- This review is for the speakeasy in the back - Came after a movie on a Friday night. Hardly a soul at Girl Diver, which made me wonder how they stay in biz. A speakeasy door should be artfully hidden, and this one is - love the sneaky bookshelf entrance. That is where the charm ends for decor. This speakeasy is dingy, dank, and could use a fresh coat of paint, an air purifier, and some windex. One TV doesn't work, but hangs lifelessly on the wall. The saving grace to this operation are the bartenders. They are awesome. The kind of classic cool you'd want in speakeasy bartenders - I genuinely felt they wanted my group to have a good time, and they pour some fantastic drinks! DJ was fantastic, although too loud for this tiny space if you want conversation. I can't speak to the food, since we just came for drinks. I'd love this place for the service and drinks if they would only invest in some improvements. read more

This is one of those places where you almost forget to take pictures of your food because it's that good. The curry has just the right amount of spice and the street corn is phenomenal. The cocktails are pretty amazing as well. Friends and I have visited twice now and both times the service was top-notch, the restaurant and bathrooms were exceptionally clean, and it was the perfect environment for both a casual dinner or a fancy night out. We learned on our last visit that there is a hidden speakeasy in the back. I love that the cocktails on the main menu are creative, rather than your run of the mill, typical cocktails. I'm excited to try the ones in the speakeasy on our next visit. read more

First time visiting last night and was impressed by the ambiance and decor. They were prompt in seating my girlfriend and I, and the server was very attentive and nice. We ordered the labneh which was disappointing in the amount as we received a dollop of the labneh with 2 quarter pieces of pita for $15. It was tasty but for the cost there should have been quite a bit more. For the mains we ordered the bolognese which was very good but didn't fit the description of chili oil bolognese. The flavors were great and the portion was good though. We also ordered the shish kabob which had a few pieces of charged, overcooked and unseasoned steak over a bland bed of rice and charred raw onion. The presentation was nice but it left a lot to be desired. Overall I think the thought and ideas are there with great service but needs better execution on the food side to match. read more

Girl Diver is such a vibe! The ambience is super cute--perfect for a date night, catching up with a friend, or even pregaming before a night out. The bartenders gave amazing service, and I loved the hidden speakeasy vibe. I honestly wouldn't have even known it was there if I didn't see someone coming out while I was walking by! We had the crab wonton dip and OMG... 10/10. I need that recipe ASAP. I had the drink that contain gin and lavender, and it was so delicious! Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

I visited this place on a Sunday and it was quite chill since I arrived when they opened. The server was friendly and welcoming! There's a speakeasy here that I must try, and I'm also interested in checking out the live music. My favorite items were the seasoned fries and my margarita. The lobster roll was okay, but I prefer clumpy lobster meat to chopped. I'll definitely be back, it's a pretty cool spot! read more

It is always amazing experience and the food is amazing. I thoroughly enjoy the ambiance and the staff. You feel as if you're with family.

Lively and friendly atmosphere. The owner was welcoming and shared the interesting story behind the name GirlDriver. The food was delicious, especially the fried rice, tacos, and pork belly. Drinks were refreshing, with a light lavender cocktail and cucumber juice. We ended with perfectly grilled oysters, fresh, flavorful, and not overly salty. Definitely planning to come back. Convenient location right across from the parking lot. read more

Update: I went back and sat in my usual spot on the patio and had a much better experience. The GM (I believe his name was Diedrick) stopped by to chat and cleared up some of the confusion and also took some of my feedback into consideration for future improvements. The entire staff working the bar and patio were upbeat, friendly, and attentive. The food was on point as per usual. I hope my most recent experience is what I can look forward to consistently in the future. read more

He explained why he was changing the menu and what we could expect in the future. Our sever was very attentive and serviced us promptly upon arrival! This was our second time there. We love the place! Can't wait to try brunch one Sunday! read more

We dressed down on a Sunday night but this is easily a dress up date spot! The place is beautiful and intimate. It has a nice dining room and then a covered patio. Service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. They have a fantastic bar if you just want some craft cocktails and some apps. All the cocktails looked fantastic. My bourbon cocktail (can't remember the name) was delicious. So delicious I had two... The food was excellent. We started with the Garlic Cheese Bread. Unfortunately not pictured here. This is a MUST order. It was two about 6" round "loafs" of soft pillowy bread semi-hollowed out as a bowl. Then stuffed with this light fluffy cheese (ricotta blend?) We demolished it immediately. I would just get this and a cocktail and be in bliss. The Basil Chicken was moist and the sauce very flavorful but it's definitely spicy with its red curry. Don't know if you can ask for it to be more mild if you can't take the heat. The Shaking Beef was very good as well. A huge amount of tender beef with just enough chew with a nice glazed sauce over it. The side salad was light and refreshing. Defiinitely a great gem for the neighborhood whether for a fancy night out or just some good food. A little pricy but you're getting great quality for it. read more

10/10 experience! Girl Driver is in my neighborhood so, I have NO idea why it took me so long to dine here. Everything was excellent from the ambiance, playlist, food, drinks and, service. Max just earned himself a regular! He took such great care of the table and had a fun personality. He made sure to explain all of the specials and which days to visit ( Bodega Tuesdays). For food, the table ordered: Brussels, Lobster Roll and, Lobster Mac & Cheese. The Brussels were gigantic and tossed in the most delicious sauce. And, I really enjoyed the Lobster Roll which was warmed with chopped lobster. The waffle fries were slightly addictive as they were that good. Definitely a round of applause to the bartender because they know how to make real drinks! read more

Lunch service was slow. While open for lunch, they have not figured out the balancing act of stafffing for lunch. I went 2 days in a row for lunch because of an event (not my choice) and for a group of 7 and 2-3 other tables, there was one server and one cook so a quick lunch took longer than expected and did not allow the server time enough to pay attention to the tables. The food was meh. read more

PARKING (5/5): They have a covered parking lot they share with the other businesses & AMC Movie Theater next door. Tons of parking. AMBIANCE (3/5/): This is more of a date night spot, the lights were very dim when I came during the evening, even at the bar. FOOD (3/5): The food presentation looked amazing! Cool & unique plates, but the food just didn't deliver for me and the gold bowl I had for my entree was actually really hard to eat out of because it was such a deep bowl. I love the effort, but it wasn't very practical. $20 GREEN CURRY MUSSELS: this portion was huge! the mussels were large and the sauce was tasty, but almost tasted watered down? Maybe not enough curry flavor? I liked it, but it could use improvement. Comes with 3 thin slices of sourdough to soak up the sauce. Good appetizer to share between 2 people. $20 CARAMELIZED CHICKEN: this was good, but it was the smallest chicken thigh/breast I've ever seen. Mostly just rice and an almost soft-boiled egg. Although I liked the sauce on the chicken, it was SO SMALL & I'm a tiny person. OVERALL (3.5/5) The 2 items I tried were average price, but there were some items on the menu that are on the pricier side. The food was good, but not good enough for me to come back again. read more

Girl Diver, located right across from AMC Madison Yard. While walking towards the entrance, the front door can be a hard miss if you're not paying close attention. I was meeting up with friends and they also experienced the same. Upon entering the establishment, there's a heated indoor patio, bar and the main dinning area. For my visit, we opted for the heated patio for a party of three. Our server was welcoming, she explained the menu selection and provided great customer service. I'm a music enthusiast, so I enjoyed the playlist that was in rotation that night. To get things started, I went with the Brussels sprouts-- which was plenty and delicious. I also had the green papaya salad with the shaking beef, and paired it with a side of rice. Overall this establishment is an added touch in the community. Perfect for solo or group dinning experience. read more

Haven't been on yelp in awhile and getting back on to write this review. Dinner was awesome!!!! We had apps, salads, soups, and drinks and we LOVED it. There is also ample free parking.

A solid pre-movie option for dinner. Location and Parking Located across from the AMC Madison Yards, parking is free. Venue and Atmosphere The decor is beautiful, with blue uplighting and a covered patio. They did the classic restaurant illusion of placing mirrors to make the space seem larger, but with windows on top and mirrors on the bottom it is quite convincing. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. The place was nearly empty when we went, so everything moved quickly. Food and Beverages The lemon pepper wings were good, crispy, and not too salty. The dim sum was decent but nothing to write home about. The non alcoholic strawberry "wine" was quite good, and the bubbles at the bottom are a nice touch. Verdict I'd go back for a pre-movie meal! read more

We came here on a Thursday night. It was not busy ..there were only 2 tables besides us and one had already been served. It took 20 minutes to get our drinks- bartender was more concerned with her patrons at the bar vs. diners at tables. The Food: I ordered blackened Mahi Mahi. It was meh. Barely any spice to it. I only ate 1/3 of it. Garlic potatoes were runny and without flavor- The only thing good was the Thai creamed corn. I think entree was 26.00. Way overpriced for the quality and yes we waited for that too! I could understand if it was super busy but there was only one active table and they ordered appetizers. My companion ordered the meatloaf - he said it was good .. Our waitress was nice and apologized for the delays. I'd never go back there. Too many other places to go where quality of food is better and service ( drinks) efficient. read more

This is always a good hitter for me, service is always top notch and so is the food. We hung out at the main bar for an hour then moved into the speak easy since we had never been. The speak easy definitely needed leveling up it just appeared as a regular bar, I bought in my espresso martini from the main bar and then ordered another but it looked like a latte and tasted like one. We stayed for one drink then exited. However we may give them another shot but definitely need to ensure the drinks are consistent at both bars read more

Meh. It's better when the owner is NOT there but even then it's still just meh. It can't make up its mind on what type of food to serve and all just comes across as trying too hard.

Girl Diver is the BEST venue for drinks, dinner, pregame and intrigue. The food is 5 star, the libations are unique and fresh, the staff is extremely knowledgable and personable.

The food is outstanding -- bold flavors, super fresh seafood, and dishes that feel both creative and comforting. The atmosphere is gorgeous, stylish, and fun without being pretentious. Whether you're there for cocktails, a date night, or a casual dinner with friends, Girl Diver delivers every time. Highly recommend! read more

We were one of maybe 4 tables in the establishment. Ordered some apps to start. We're most excited for the Brussels... had some family issues pop up and needed to get our order to go... tried to flag down the server but she was nowhere to be seen in that time (at least 10 minutes, reminder there were only like 3 other tables in the whole place). They eventually brought out the apps without the Brussels and the server said she "just found out they were out of Brussels". It feels like they could have communicated that sooner. They did not have a changing table in either bathroom for a child. Also, it was SO HOT INSIDE. Even if we didn't need to leave, I don't think we could have stayed because it was close to unbearable. Unfortunately cannot recommend this place. read more

I was hoping for amazing food but I was severely let down. I ordered the steak skewers, the fried beef dumplings, the and fried Brussel sprouts. Let's start with the service it took forever for the server to come over. Then it took forever for us to receive our drinks and it took forever for us to get our appetizers. Our waitress was very nice however her niceness could not make up for the delayed service and mediocre food. Our first appetizer delivered was the fried beef dumplings. These were bland. No amount of soy sauce could add flavor to these. The only thing I can say is they were crunchy. The second item delivered was the fried Brussels sprouts. They were okay. The vinegar was strong and a few were burnt but they were still meh. The last thing that was delivered were the steak skewers. There were 5 skewers. On each skewer was one small piece of meat, one small potato piece, and a bunch of onions. Only the tip of the skewer had food on it. 75% of the skewer was empty. They steak was so burnt it was like a charcoal briquette. The waitress offered to have the remade. We decided not to waste our time. I would not recommend this place. read more
