The waiter was really personable and welcoming. Thank you Michael! The food was incredible. Portion sizes were just right. Presentation was creative and elegant. The Sea Bass was world class. The rotating view of the city would be enough. But the quality of food and service stands alone. read more

Polaris - Reflection of the rotating restaurant in a neighboring downtown building. - American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Talk about aesthetically beautiful! Cannot express how cool it was slowly rotating throughout dinner to see all the views of Atlanta. Our waitress was probably the best waitress I've ever had. Such a great personality, very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and overall a joy to interact with. The drinks were a whole experience... depending on what you order, certain things come in a box that you open with smoke coming out, others need to be torched before drinking, it was quite fascinating (and delicious). And the food was outstanding! My whole party raved about how delicious everything was. I will say, everything is a bit on the pricy side but all things considered it's well worth it! Highly recommend Polaris for your next outing. read more

I love coming here for a date night. The view is great. The service is excellent. I do think that the food could be better overall (do not get the trout). read more

A hidden gem! This place was recommended to me and my fiancé and I decided to give it a try and the Polaris did not disappoint. The ambiance was perfect on a Friday evening. There is a separate elevator to the restaurant which is nice. Our server, Jay was so sweet and knowledgeable. The GM even stopped at our table and introduced himself. My favorite part of the restaurant was the rotating dining area. You didn't even feel it moving! It was so cool seeing the different parts of Atlanta. The food was delicious!!!! I highly recommend the steak and rabbit 3 ways! The restaurant had such a quiet and romantic vibe I am sure to be back soon. read more

Romantic date night location!!! My Hubby took me took Polaris, and I loved it there. It's a revolving restaurant at the top of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The service was impeccable. We never had to look for our waiters. They were extremely helpful. And, our food was amazing!! We had the Fried Oyster Rockefeller and Escargot Poutine to start. They were both delicious, but, I loved that poutine more. It was smooth and creamy. Similar to a soup with escargot in it. For our meals, I had the duck with kimchi pancake. The duck was succulent, and the skin had a nice crisp. But, that kimchi pancake left me wanting another one! I don't even generally prefer kimchi. But, that pancake was the perfect accompaniment to the duck. And, the sauce served with it was perfectly sweet, salty. I'd order it again and again. My Hubby ordered the Polaris Steak Oscar. He loved it and ate every bit. I tasted it and it was really good. Overall, amazing experience!! My Hubby can surprise me with the place again anytime, and I'd be extremely excited to go! Tip: There's a separate line to get up to Polaris, with an attendant, at the elevators in the center of the hotel. And, don't forget to get your parking validated! That attendant will validate your parking when you depart. read more

I love cheesecake and never met a cheesecake I didn't enjoy. Until now. This was the worst cheesecake I ever had. The crust was so dry (how can cheesecake be dry??), and the basil oil & olive oil powder not only made it even more dehyrated but looked an unappetizing shade of green and almost tasted bitter. The cheesecake itself barely had its iconic cream cheese flavor. And where was the peach in all this? Scooping up the peach droplets scattered around the plate was a pitiful experience for me. "Interesting" to look at but regretful to eat. read more

Polaris - Georgia peach cheesecake - American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A really unique spot that I'm glad I got to experience! I made a dinner reservation for a Saturday a couple months in advance (which was even a bit hard to get, so definitely book EARLY in advance) for a party of 2 in lounge seating. We arrived on time and were taken up the Hyatt elevator to the restaurant. It's a really cool experience! It's sort of like a donut spinning around, while the center remains still. So we did a full circle in the 90 minute reservation period. I highly recommend booking a reservation around the sunset, the view of the skyline is really great! For food, we got the charcuterie board and spanish octopus - both were 10/10 amazing! Full of flavor. We got the daiquiri and solomons' revenge in our first round of drinks, and then got the pina colada and peanut butter cup martini (which came with a whole presentation) which were all great! It was a very cool experience that I recommend all ATL people to try at least once. The service was phenomenal as well, our waitress was so so kind, bubbly, and attentive. Made a late-Valentine's day celebration so very special! read more

Overall a great experience will definitely return, suitable for special celebrations/dates. Pros: The restaurant/rooftop is very nice, loved the rotation and city view from above, everyone was very welcoming and service was good, we ordered the steak $45 which was delicious and it comes with mashed potatoes and side of asparagus with crab meat, variety of seating's available tables, lounging chairs, couches, etc., there's also mocktials available for non drinkers Cons: pricey, limited options on the menu especially for appetizers, can be hard to find reservations. Parking: valet parking covered by the Polaris , easily stopped in front of the Hyatt hotel entrance and they took our car and gave us a ticket and the restaurant validated it before we leave. Dress code: dress your best, classic/smart casual outfits read more

My daughter and I stayed in the Hyatt Regency for a night and, of course, wanted to enjoy a drink or two at the Polaris. It was great. The service and the cocktails were top notch and the atmosphere as relaxing and pleasant as any I can remember. I first visited the Polaris as a child for lunch and later, in the 1970s, for a beer with a friend. It was great then but is even better now. Perfected really. Our only complaint was that it was difficult to get in. Our status as guests of the hotel meant nothing. Reservations were expected even for cocktails but nobody bothered to inform us of this when we reserved a room nor did they bring it up at check-in (and one of the main reasons we stayed at the Regency was to experience Polaris). The website does not address this although there is a place to make a reservation. There was no waiting list but we were informed to "check back in 30 minutes". We waited around and eventually they found a place for us late in the evening and, again, it was worth the wait. A better system is needed for hotel guests. A better system is needed period. read more

Polaris is an experience that's worth the money every time. The views are unmatched. This restaurant is one that still rotates! The service is impeccable. Very attentive and quick.

Ok so this is my second review of this restaurant. 1st time was perfect. This time was not. Chelsea gave us a nice table, our waitress was lovely but... the octopus was tough and our entrees were not hot. Drinks were okay although the waitress gave me grey goose after I asked for bombay gin which of course is more expensive but I drank it. Overall I would recommend. The charcuterie board was a winner! The views are amazing. Go and try it! Next time I will ask that my entree is hot read more

We had the best time here on our date night. Food, drinks, ambiance and changing views already made a fantastic evening and our server, Antoinette took the best care of us. Probably the best server we have ever had. She went out of her way to get great photos of us together which will help us remember this spot forever. Will definitely come back next time in Atlanta. read more

They lie to the customer. I was told the first ten walk in's would go in first. I was the tenth and had to wait one hour after they took the first nine to the restaurant. When I finally got up there , I was the tenth at the bar and one other seat was empty. The view is nice and the food is mediocre and overpriced. The steak Oscar was ok. Probably get better quality at Ruth Chris ! The blue dome dessert is tiny and not worth 17.00 . You are stealing from your customers !!! Overpriced and not worth it! read more

We did not have a reservation as this was an impromptu choice for dinner, however we were able to sit at the bar. This restaurant is located in a beautiful hotel. Getting to the restaurant is an experience in itself as you zoom to the top of the building for a unique dining experience. Our bartender was top notch and gave us great recommendations for food and beverages. The restaurant slowly spins to give you a 360 view of Atlanta! The white asparagus was delicious. My dinner companion had the mushroom with soba noodles and it was the best comfort food. We ended with an amazing chocolate mouse! The mouse was filled with honey from the hive on the roof of the restaurant. This is an experience we will never forget. read more

Really great date night spot. My date gets a little motion sickness so I would consider that when choosing this location. I have never had that issue and while I didn't feel sick I definitely felt the movement in my peripheral vision. I would do it again. My significant other probably wouldn't. That said...the portions were small-ish, like most of my fine dining experiences (and I'm a big guy) but they were adequate. The flavor in the foccacia bread ($11) the sea bass and the lamb was outstanding. They valet park you as a courtesy. Our server, Su, was very sweet and attentive. The coconut cake that we shared was smallish. So if you're really hungry mayne sneak a candy bar in just in case. :) Drinks were good too. Bill was not crazy. My tire went flat when we got there. Hyatt staff was outstanding in helping with that. Very good night and experience! read more

I think the best part of this restaurant is the fact that it's revolving.. as far as drinks, staff (at the restaurant) and the ambiance that alone is a 10/10. Aside from that, don't waste your money. The food was extremely bland and mediocre for the price we paid. I think my favorite was the dessert, I loved the different techniques and textures that were used. This is the only item on the menu that everyone needs to try. They change their menu often as well so we MIGHT give this a try again but I'm not too keen of this place at the moment. Better quality and taste at other restaurants in Atlanta for a cheaper price and makes you wanting more. Nothing about this place made me want more. The valet staff is incredibly rude and made us wait over 20 minutes before we even got our car. The people in front of us said they were waiting for over 20 minutes as well (they were staying at the hotel and ended up ubering). I have a big threshold when it comes to patience but they were there smoking and talking. Very unprofessional for such a high end place. I asked to speak to the manager and he was EXTREMELY disrespectful from the start nor did he care to "fix" my concerns and complaint. Do yourself a favor and Uber/lyft. read more

Was notable to call in to make reservations because all I got was an automated message saying they were busy. I may or may not try to make reservations in the future. read more

Came to Polaris for dinner with my wife and the view was amazing. The restaurant slowly rotates and the view changes over time which is pretty cool. We only ordered appetizers: charcuterie board, pork belly ramen, swordfish, and the sourdough bread. Charcuterie board was really good with a lot of flavors going together. The swordfish (with caviar) really stole the show though, I would have ordered 2 of those if I knew how good it was going to be. Sourdough bread was soft and went well with the butter and olive oil as well. Pork Belly Ramen underwhelmed me a bit. Our server was engaging attentive to our needs and was really helpful with recommendations. Prices are a bit expensive but I guess that's something you live with for the view. I would go back to try the dinner items. read more

A rotating bar/restaurant atop of the Hyatt Regency, this place feels like an old school lounge where pilots and flight attendants would indeed hang out. The bar rotates just enough for you to actually feel it if you're paying attention. I ordered a Pineapple on Peachtree as well as the lamb ribs--each were amazing with a hint of sweetness but also some kick. Although pricey--to be expected for such a place--I would def. recommend going there once especially if you are staying at the actual hotel. read more

Me and my girlfriend went here for our special day. Fortunately got a reservation during sunset hours and the service was great. We ordered three dishes Lamb chops, half duck roast and a pistachio orange desert. The lamb chops and desert were delicious. The bird roast was not our kind but we ordered it because there were very few options as we don't eat beef or pork and no chicken at all. The waitress explained every little detail about each dish and the chef special sauce was one of the best we ever had. Prices are on the higher end but the ambience was good. Overall the lamp chops with the chef made sauce are a must-try. Would visit again on a special occasion. read more

I came here in celebration of my boyfriend's birthday, and it is fair to say that this is one of Atlanta's most stunning restaurants. From the moment you drive up to valet and step foot into the Hyatt Regency hotel the level of service was upscale and top of the line & noticeably consistent amongst all of the staff. They all made my boyfriend feel so special and acknowledged for his birthday. I LOVED the hospitality from our server we were lucky enough to have Antoinet she was very vibrant, attentive, and even offered to take our photos without us even having to ask which was a major plus! Loved her and understand why everyone raves about her in their reviews. The food was very flavorful. I ordered the Polaris Steak Oscar the portion size was fairly small but everything was delicious and complimented everything on the plate very well. Due to the portion size I ranked my meal a 8/10. My boyfriend ordered the Steelhead Trout which was also very delicious but he only liked the trout everything else on the plate he wasn't too impressed with he ranked it a 7/10. As a complimentary birthday freebie they offered my bf 3 options either a free dessert of his choice, a free shot of alcohol or a free glass of champagne. He went with the free glass of champagne! Something extremely unique about this restaurant is that it rotates while you're eating and offers breathtaking 360 degrees views of the city. Such an exciting fun touch to dining here unlike any restaurant I've eaten at in Atlanta. I also liked how the seating was very intimate and romantic it was our table and one other table next to ours which was perfect for the romantic birthday dinner I was going for. Pricing here was inexpensive, and overall I would rate this restaurant with 5 stars read more

If you're in the Atlanta area, i recommend Polaris for the experience. We got into Atlanta and were able to get a 9pm reservation. It seems that it's difficult because they only have 12 tables.

Such cool atmosphere! Came here October 5th, 2019 for a 5pm reservation. There was a fee to hold the reservation. I took my friend out for their birthday. Parking was full that day, I think there was an event, so we ended up parking around the corner for $7 in a lot. The elevator ride up was pretty cool, and a lot easier to manage than the one at sky view. This restaurant still spins, but since it's lower lower than sky view, a large chunk of the view is blocked by other tall buildings. The service is really great, and my REALLY loved the charcuterie spread and the sour drink. The food was.. okay. Which tends to happen at these type of restaurants - I feel like I paid for the atmosphere more than anything. The pork chop: t-bone wasn't tasteful. Maybe the seasoning wasn't to my palate. But the presentation was great! The fish fish (can't remember the exact type of fish) was really good! I also noticed one of the chefs dropping a whole platter of meat from the oven, pick it up, and put it back in the oven. Hence, the two stars. Absolutely disgustin read more

Amazing & Romantic Experience for my wife and me! I made reservations however there were plenty of spacious seating available. Su was our waiter and she made the moment even more magical by being pleasant and so professional. The food servings are small portions but definitely top chef prepared. I had Gnocchi for starter which was tasty and the Grouper entree was fresh & delicious . The drinks are strong! We enjoyed the view of my city, watching Ga Tech beat VMI 59 to 7 . I am happy I chose this restaurant for my wife birthday. read more

If you've never been to this classic charmer at the top of the Hyatt downtown give yourself this treat. Polaris is a great night out. Elegant, yet cozy, with a backdrop of the revolving Atlanta skyline the food was meticulously prepared and very well thought out. I really liked the Parisian gnocchi and the classic steak oscar. Strong cocktail program. Service was great. I left relaxed in a way that few restaurants deliver on these days. Definitely, worth a return trip. read more

The service was fun and Antoinette was a perfect guide to our menu and the atmosphere. She made our anniversary dinner quite the experience on "top of the world". The food combination were so unique and delicious. We experienced their new summer menu and You MUST try the charred watermelon tartare and the unusual but delicious Georgia peach cheesecake infused with (wait for it) BASIL. The nonalcoholic drink menu was on point. We enjoyed the view and the food and the service equally. And in case you were curious, the rotation of the restaurant allows you to to see a 360 view of the city in the exact amount of time that you sit down until you pay the check. Amazing. We will definitely be recommending this place to everyone we know. read more

If you're staying at the Hyatt Regency, don't miss at least having a drink in the ionic rotating restaurant atop the hotel. The curved bar offers a bird's eye view of downtown Atlanta, although recently erected buildings block the views in some directions. Some excellent choices from the cocktail menu include the smoky Tobacco Manhattan, the lemony Bee's Knees, and the crisp Ginger 75. For noshing at the bar, the rosemary sourdough loaf - warmed, sliced and served with creamy butter - is a good value if you just want a light snack. The cheese and charcuterie board is perfect for sharing. After watching the chefs in the open kitchen prepare the pork belly appetizer, we couldn't resist ordering it. Not a cheap place to eat, but a nice choice for a special night out. read more

Perfect place to have my birthday dinner. We had luck and got a last minute reservation just in time for my birthday. It's my first time in Atlanta and Im not familiar with the restaurants. Our waitress was amazing. The wagyu steak is the best steak I've ever had. The views were amazing. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Atlanta . The honey drink has a nice presentation as well as the peanut butter drink. Sorry I cannot remember the young lady who was our waitress name but she was a dancer from New York. Her service , friendliness and attentiveness alone is a reason to come back. Also shout-out to the lady who sold us on the place. She was down in the lobby by the elevator. I also got a free strawberry dessert because is was my birthday read more

Located within the Hyatt hotel, the ambience was nice. As the restaurants rotates, the view on the outside changes from different buildings, and on the inside changes from the lounge area to the open kitchen. Food came out fairly quickly and the waitress was very friendly. The mocktail was just grapefruit juice. The GA Olive Oil Confit Spanish Octopus was good. It had unique ingredients, like the olive oil powder and olive dust. The main entrees were Sous vide wild boar & sweet potato gnocchi, and Polaris steak Oscar filet and NY strip (side was asparagus+lump crab and mashed potato placed under the steaks). The boar dish was a big no...the meat had no specific flavor and was too mushy, and the gnocchi tasted nothing like the chewy gnocchi that I know. But the steaks were amazing. Perfectly cooked, melted in your mouth, and the mashed potato was also good. I enjoyed it just for the experience itself of a revolving restaurant (which you can feel), but the fact of being seated at some long table with a lamp (like a college library desk) and some other factors was a bit of a downer. read more
