    Weekend scramble (most recent visit)
    Judy H.

    Amazing staff and food is delicious, although their portion size was inconsistent. I went twice, with the dish I ate being the reason I came back, but was quite underwhelmed by the amount of food provided (photos below for comparison).

    Second time at Kitty Dare, and I don't think I would prioritize going back again. I had the shrimp pasta dish which was ok but not super exciting. The hugo cocktail drink was great, that was my favorite part of my meal. I forgot the name of the other dish, but I remember it wasn't cooked very well. The service was kind of slow despite us going on a weekday night. The interior of the restaurant was cool though, and the ambiance was nice--not too bright and not too dark. Overall, the experience was ok.

    Love everything about this place! We dined for NYE and everything was exceptional. We had a 5 pm reservation but were running a few minutes late so I called the restaurant to let them know. When we got there, we were checked in and seated right away. Our server brought us water and gave us a few minutes to look through the menu. I got the Hugo and my husband the Paige. We also started with the tunisi eggplant. The eggplant was served with warm ciabatta bread and was so flavorful. For entrees, I ordered the lamb burger and Caesar salad. My husband got their steak special for the night. We both enjoyed our meals. Loved that the salad had fried capers. The lamb burger was a little too salty for me but was very flavorful. Best part was side of fries it was served with! I highly recommend this place. Would be a good place for date night - it's casual but since it's NYE, some people were dressed up. Definitely make a reservation since it's a smaller restaurant. Street parking is available.

    Love the place. Took my daughter and her boyfriend on a whim. Excellent luck, because it was amazing. Not one dish missed. I love that it covers multiple dishes across the Mediterranean. The ambiance is great as well. Can be a great date night and get all classy or go casual. We had the labneh, which was creamy and delicious. The hummus was different as it had peas but it was excellent. I'd recommend getting both. We had three other dishes, the chicken, the melanzane, an bucatini and shrimp. All were great. The chicken was juicy and seasoned really well and the saffron rice cakes were amazing. The Melanzane had no protein but was very filling and was a traditional Italian dish with a giant burrata ball to make it creamy. The bucatini noodles were al dente and shrimp was juicy. Overall a great meal. I definitely would recommend if you are looking for a great ambiance and great food.

    This restaurant has been on my radar since it opened because The Last Resort was my favorite restaurant in Athens while I was in school at UGA. I was in Atlanta for work this week so I was finally able to try it out. We arrived 15 minutes early for our 7pm reservation and our table wasn't ready so we went to get a drink at the bar. At 7:10 we went and checked on the table again and they asked for our name again and then said it was ready. Before moving to our table we asked if we needed to close out our tab or if it could be transferred to the table and they told us that it could be transferred. Halfway through our meal our waiter brought us the bill and told us that we left the bar without closing it out as if we may have been drinking and dashing. The only reason this rubbed me the wrong way is because we specifically asked about this before leaving the bar. For dinner we ordered a bunch of items to share since we knew we wouldn't be able to come back any time soon. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with suggestions though I feel he could have been more forthcoming about the portion sizes. The portions were absolutely enormous! The half size caesar salad was certainly as large as a full size elsewhere and my Berbere chicken came on top of a veritable mountain of hummus. It felt so wasteful because we couldn't take anything to go as we were staying in a hotel. I think we would have been less flabbergasted by portion size if we have been able to take our leftovers with us. Our favorite dish of the night was hands down the Tunisi eggplant. It was warm and decadent and I would have been happy eating my chicken with just a side of this eggplant. At the end of the meal we didn't have any space for dessert so I cannot speak to that but overall we mostly enjoyed our dinner. We felt meh about the Caesar and felt the fried olives could have used a dipping sauce (possibly tzatziki) but the off menu lamb stew special, the feta fries and the chicken were all very good if a little daunting in size.

    I went here with my friend to celebrate my birthday and we really love it! Ambiance is perfect for an intimate celebration. Music is good and not too loud. Service crews are friendly. Food is perfect! Love their ceasar salad. I would go back again. P.S. This place is perfect for dates as well!

    Tunisi Eggplant

    I absolutely loved my visit to Kitty Dare. We came here on a Friday night on a reservation and it was quite packed. I absolutely loved the ambiance here as it was dimly lit and intentionally decorated to give the Mediterranean vibe with the whites and blues. We ordered a lot of small items to share as we weren't that hungry, but still wanted to sample wheat Kitty Dare had to offer. We had the charcuterie board with duck prosciutto, lamb sujuk, Spanish saichichon, Humboldt Fog, and mahon. Our server helped us with these choices, and I don't regret any of them. The star of the show had to be the honey. I'm not usually a big fan of honey, but this one was heavenly. It was so sweet and syrupy that I had to ask for the name of it to get it for myself. Ziyad Pure Bee Honeycomb - by the way. We also ordred Oregano & Feta Fries, Tunisi Eggplant, and Bucatini & Shrimp pasta. Between these, the pasta was my favorite. Kitty Dare was one of my favorite spots during my visit, and I would highly recommend it.

    Lamb burger
    Ludmila S.

    This restaurant has great ambiance and service. Their food is excellent and they have a great wine list. The lamb burger was delicious and so was the lasagna. Highly recommended this restaurant.

    Good ambiance for an intimate catch up with friends/family. Delicious food and great service!

    Mussels
    Anwar O.

    So great! My only regret is that I didn't take the Marta to get there. The mussels were top notch and the server picked a great wine to pair with my risotto. Also, the restaurant is divided up such that a lot of tables feel very cozy. Would recommend!

    Half Caesar Salad
    James B.

    Kitty Dare was a great restaurant with a variety of Mediterranean based dishes. While it may be branded as Mediterranean there are a lot of options outside of just Mediterranean cuisine. The service here was top notch with a great waitress and host, and the ambiance is very cool. Unfortunately we couldn't sit outside where it looks amazing, but even inside had excellent decor and helped with the Mediterranean vibe. We started off with the Medjool Dates which were absolutely delicious and the ciabatta bread. The dates are wrapped in bacon and stuffed with chorizo and might've been the best food of the night. Then we each had a salad which we also thought were very tasty. I had the Caesar and thought it was one of the best Caesar's I had eaten in a while. Then we had the entrees where I had a lamb burger with feta fries which fell a little flat. I was excited about it because of the great food I had eaten before it but if/when I return I'm looking forward to trying a new dish instead. Overall Kitty Dare is a cool experience and an excellent spot for a date or to hangout with friends over a delicious meal.

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!

As you drive through the shared lot (with several businesses), look to the left near the valet for Two Urban Licks. The sign is only visible as you exit the lot, so it's easy to miss. Also, parking isn't free--you'll need to scan a QR code or text to pay. We made online reservations to celebrate my husband's birthday and were glad we did. Our server, Robert, was fantastic--attentive without being overbearing. He made great recommendations and was happy to move us from a small table to a more comfortable booth when we asked. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, but we opted for "Mocktail #2," which was pink, fruity, and refreshing with watermelon, mint, and lime soda. We started with the Chargrilled Louisiana Oysters, which were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious--honestly, the best I've ever had. The Volcano Roll was also great--generous in size and perfect for sharing. It's listed as having "spicy crab," but I didn't find it spicy at all (a plus for me!). If you want more heat, wasabi is served on the side. For entrees, I had the Salmon Teriyaki and my husband had the Braised Beef. My salmon was perfectly cooked and came with fluffy white rice and mixed vegetables. But he definitely won the entree round--his beef was tender, flavorful, and served with what tasted like sweet mashed potatoes (the menu said red potatoes). The glazed carrots were slightly firm but still tasty. To top it all off, we were served a mini chocolate cake with whipped vanilla icing--soft, rich, and perfect for sharing. The inside isn't the largest resource been to, but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and we saw people dressed up and down. Overall, we had a great experience. Bully Boy is a gem, and I hope you're lucky enough to have Robert as your server!

The reason for 3 stars is that the food was mid (I would love to give 3.5 stars if I could).

Everything else was either not great or very mid - the platter, calamari, salmon was not crispy skin and was overcooked, fries, sardine bruschetta. We spent $400 with tip and I only liked or remembered about 20% of what we ordered. Drinks are beautiful and creative. It would be great for a drink and sexy vibes, but I would go somewhere else to eat. I forgot to take pictures (OOPS)

First, I tried to see the menu online but quickly found there are a lot of menus and they change, so you can't really know what they're serving. They had just five entrees to pick from, and none were very appetizing. Each was over-engineered, too. They were good about asking about allergies, but if you're traveling and careful about introducing new things to your diet, maybe this place isn't for you. They do have a steak. At $200, it's made for the entire table. You can't just get a steak, even though they clearly have steak. Frankly, a lot of the menu was just gross. Sweetbreads, steak tartare, veal. We picked a chicken plate with potatoes. The potatoes were fine. The chicken was very dry. I asked for iced tea. "We don't serve tea products" was the response. WTF? And while the cocktail and wine choices seemed numerous, the beer was extremely limited. We just stuck with water. Then there was the service. The staff were polite and prompt, but some of the habits were just deeply weird. They kept coming by and folding our napkins. Like, you get up, use the bathroom (an unmarked door adjacent to the kitchen), come back, and somebody has picked up your napkin, the one you've been touching your face with, folded it with their bare hands, and left it there. Look, servers roll silverware and I'm no germophobe, but we really don't need more people touching my napkin throughout the meal, do we? This carried over to other staff who would randomly stop by to clear plates and wipe the table down while we all had to stop talking, watch them replace perfectly clean silverware with new perfectly clean silverware, and then leave. Always with new people. None of this makes it a bad restaurant. It's probably exactly what some people are looking for. It just isn't for me.

I know the word gets overused, but it truly was a whole vibe. What I loved most is that it's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. There's no pressure, no strict dress code--just a come-as-you-are energy, and people genuinely receive you that way. Within five minutes of being there, I already felt comfortable. Everyone was so friendly--the bartenders, the people around us, even the random interactions felt warm and easy. The space itself is really cool too. They have artwork featuring icons like Prince, Tupac, and Biggie, which added to the overall atmosphere.

They're open until 2 AM, so it's a great spot whether you're grabbing a drink with friends, on a date, or even just stopping by solo to soak in the energy. It's one of those places where you can just be. I'd love to make this a regular spot--definitely somewhere I can see myself coming back to at least once a month.
