    I visited this restaurant for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing meal. I ordered the curry chicken, cabbage, and rice with peas. The portions were generous for the price, and the service was incredibly fast. The food was filled with flavor, and the chicken was tender and fell off the bone. To add to the convenience, the meal came in a to-go box, which is perfect for leftovers. The restaurant is located in Colony Square Food Quart, which creates a lively atmosphere with music and a variety of other food options. There's also a bar in the middle of the place, adding to the vibrant ambiance.

    Jerk chicken pasta... (NO) jerk seasoning or sauce, 4 slices of grilled chicken (unjerked), extra extra pasta, and Kroger brand Alfredo sauce with no cheese. Not a fan but some quick to eat to soak up the liquor.

    I've had their food from a food truck before. Food is good but a little pricey. It's not their full menu, so you'd have to go to another location for it. This is at Politan Row food court in Colony Square. Not ideal for groups. Music playing thought the court. Cashier was friendly.

    The food is actually amazing. The oxtails are exquisite. As well as a jerk, chicken rice and peas and mac & cheese.

    Kitchen open late

    Order: Pinot, chicken, lettuce, wrapped, mussels, blackjack, wings, edamame, octopus…read more Pros: the ambience and vibe was amazing. Food was great, hot and fresh. Nothing was sent back. Everything was eaten. My favorite was probably the edamame whatever sauce they cook that them things over the moon! A plus plus was that the parking was free in the garage with the validation. Came here with friends, but definitely a great date spot. Oh, and our server was amazing. There was three of us who came for happy hour. Cons: n/a

    So I've been looking at this spot since it opened and I actually finally made it. Because of what…read moreit is, you have to worry about parking and it's not free to park but actually kind of is free. You have to worry about validating because they do validate so just keep that in mind. You'll park in the structure and then walk over to the restaurant but at that point you'll be able to get a validation code. Validation code will get something sent to your phone and you'll use it to negate the parking. Coming in the service was pretty good. Last time I went in it was actually pretty quiet and nobody was there so I got all the servers and bartenders to myself lol. But seriously everybody was super nice and really friendly and explained the menu very well and no complaints about that See you space cowboy - This was a pretty good and very balanced drink. I wanted something with bourbon in it so this is what I came up with from looking at the menu. Pretty solid and not overpowering at all. Salt and pepper shrimp - the salt and pepper shrimp was the star of the show to me as far as the appetizers that I had. It came with five of them but I could probably have eaten 25 of those joints. They were amazing. Out of the appetizers that I had, they were the best ones and they actually came pretty large. It's not like you got little baby shrimp. These were impactful, powerful shrimp that packed a heck of a flavor. I would 200% get these again and maybe I might get three orders of them by myself lol. Soft shell crab - the crab was good but the crab itself was only okay but the sauce in the bowl of the crab actually carried it. It's not a bad thing, but at the same time by itself it was only okay but the sauce definitely added a little extra to it. Grilled Octopus - the octopus was pretty good but at the same time it was a little more chewy than I would've liked it to be. It wasn't impossibly chewy. It was actually still pretty good. The thing that made the octopus actually pop was the sauce that came with it. The sauce was like a chili-lime sauce and that actually carried the dish itself. Without that it would've just been okay but the sauce definitely helped. The sauce went well with a couple of things actually . But I'll still order doctors again. It was actually pretty decent. Bangkok Hot fries - the fries are actually good. They had a a spice to them. That was a kick in the face but also citrusy as well. So you got a little bit of heat and citrus at the same time. They came out really good. Hot fresh and that would have been really good on a burger LOL Overall, it smells pretty good if you want small plates. This is a spot to go to now. They do have regular and large size portions, but that's not this place's bag, which is okay. If you're in the business of just trying a bunch of stuff, this is a good spot to go to because they actually have a combo where you can get a few things off of the small place menu to try and share. This is a good spot if you just want to stop in somewhere to try a few Asian dishes.

    Moonlight has been one of Atlanta's tougher to get rooftop bars since its opening. Booked up nearly…read moreall the time and for some good reasons. There probably isn't a bar in the city that offers as breathtaking of a view as does Moonlight. The panorama of all three of Atlanta's skyscraper centers is clearly visible, along with the historical architecture of Ponce City Market. The crowd is mix of tourists and locals in their 20s and 30s. The cocktails are solid. Food is decent, nothing to rave about, but again, hopefully nobody is here for the food. The lobster roll was very bread heavy and the useless dab of caviar was just a wasteful decoration. Yet, the atmosphere of the place, situated in the beautiful Forth hotel makes Moonlight an incredible spot for drinks.

    First thing I will say is that this place is BEAUTIFUL. Staff is helpful and prices are reasonable…read morefor specialized cocktails. Please do not expect a full dinner but there are great options to keep the night going. I was kinda sad that both myself and my friend were celebrating our birthday but because we were the same table, we could only get one glass of champagne. It does get crowded and I really suggest making a reservation. I made one and even still it took ages to get a table. A reservation doesn't promise a table right away but keeps you in an active queue. I can't wait to go back again.

    I read they had live music and I loved the idea of having a drink and relaxing to music…read more Unfortunately this is a lobby bar and is extremely noisy. We found a nice table and ordered a glass of wine. We had every intent of staying and eating, but this atmosphere is not what we had in mind. I felt bad for the musician because nobody was paying attention. Our server disappeared so even if we wanted to stay for more drinks it was a hassle. The bartender finally tracked down our bill and we decided to go elsewhere.

    A few colleagues and I decided to stop at the bar in the lobby before heading up to our rooms…read more Although it wasn't in the menu, someone asked if they could make a decaf espresso martini and the server said he'd find out. Rather than just finding out, he went ahead and made it and brought it out with the group's drinks. When I saw how good it looked, I decided to order one too. The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

    I've been wanting to try this bar out, and I finally had a chance to do so on Tuesday for jazz…read morenight! They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

The indoor seating is hit or miss as they have one couch that is really low to the ground and uncomfortable to sit on but the other couches are comfy. The cocktails here are delicious. I got the white witch and wow, what a great drink! The bartenders are all super kind too and make the drinks quickly. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other cocktails!
