First time checking this lovely diner out for a lunch date with a friend. We made reservations "just in case," but we didn't end up needing it on a Monday afternoon. Love that they take reservations though! The whole restaurant was bright and sharp, with wide windows and clean lines. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated immediately. With quite a few groups and pairs there, the noise level wasn't bad at all. The menu was small but had a multitude of delicious sounding, light & fresh items! We both ordered the Special Daily Trio-a salted fish & corn chowder, fish sandwich, & mixed green salad. Price was right on, very nicely presented, & even had enough to take the sandwich home. Service was really great. Timing was good. Will have to point out the overall saltiness of the chowder and sandwich. I look forward to coming back, though, to try more of their menu. Note: there is apparently a nice wine bar connected to the eatery. Will be back on date &/or girls night. read more

Classy farm to table with welcoming atmosphere. My fav thing on the menu is the butternut squash soup. The cocktails are delicious as well. The food comes quickly and the servers know to handle large groups. Lots of appetizers to share. Good selection of desserts as well. read more

East Cobb - can we all agree that Seed is sliding quickly downhill from its prime?! So many people love this place - or rather love the idea of what this place used to be. I've dined here over a dozen times since its inception and admittedly, I've never left overwhelmingly impressed, but things have gotten worse. In my most recent visit, the cod, claimed to be flavored by some kind of Thai herb vinaigrette was so flavorless that the only thing I could taste was the awkward red onions hastily plated underneath the fish. Nothing special. Nothing memorable for $34. Daughter ordered a kid's cheeseburger. And I know kids menus are kids menus, but it was the DRIEST bun and patty I've ever tasted. Is this how they treat their $23 Merchant Burger? If yes, that's a disappointing burger. If no, why not take pride in ALL of your dishes? Cocktails were all way too sweet. Old fashioned was overpowered by some kind of syrupy mess. Worst of all, the bathroom. You can tell a lot about how a restaurant is cared for by the way they treat (or don't treat) a bathroom. Doors were broken and many rusted. Dirty. Clearly once decorated about 15 years ago and left forgotten. I hate to leave such a negative review of Seed, but it is clear they've been hanging in some wilted laurels as of late. read more

Another lovely meal at Seed. It's our anniversary and we already had dinner plans so we decide to do an early lunch at Seed. Seed is always a good choice and today was no exception. I ordered the fish sandwich with a cup of the best clam chowder I've ever had! The cod was perfectly cooked and the sandwich was delicious. (Be sure to have them leave off the cilantro if you don't like it.) My husband ordered the chicken salad sandwich on grilled bread and he loved it. He's quite picky about his chicken salad but this really made him happy. The service was as amazing as ever, and the manager made sure to check on every table. Seed is such a pretty restaurant and a lovely choice for an anniversary. The manager surprised us with a piece of their tres leches cake with fresh whipped cream and berries. So good! Parking is ample and the food is always on point! read more

E X P E R I E N C E We came as a group of four on a Sunday night around 6:00 p.m. we did have a reservation but it wasn't necessary as the restaurant was probably 25% full F O O D merchant burger: 1/2 lb, carmelized onion, white cheddar, oven dried, French fries, add bacon Pan seared bay of fundy salmon: melted leeks, truffles vinaigrette, sub parmesan garlic fries Roasted beet salad: Pistachios, pomegranate, arugula, orange goat cheese, fennel, add salmon Chicken schnitzel: miso mustard , over dried tomato, arugula Brussel sprouts I was a little taken aback that my salmon was smaller than my friends salmon that she added onto her salad, but nonetheless the food was incredible. The chicken schnitzel sauce was A+ and I don't even like chicken like that. The brussel sprouts were delectable. It's a must order. There's a little sour sweet twist to the near perfectly burnt Brussels. Wow. S E R V I C E Alex was fantastic. Friendly. Courteous. Food came out quickly. Personable.

Enjoyed a great dinner on a girls night out. Our waitress was fabulous, she described all of the entrees, and it was hard to make a decision as they all sounded fabulous. We had the calamari as an appetizer and I can truly say it was one of the best I've ever had! That sauce, whats in that sauce?? I had never had a sauce like that, it was so delicious. For dinner my friends had the cod. They liked it. I had the hanger steak - also very good (big portion). We all loved the parmesan fries. Give this place a try! You wont regret it! read more

Just sat down to give Seed a second chance after a bad experience a few years ago--when my party left upset, our server in tears, and the manager made everything worse with a defensive, confrontational attitude. But this afternoon ? Totally different. The vibe is 100% better. Staff is warm, welcoming, and present. Whatever changed (hopefully the management), it shows. Hoping the food matches the energy this time. read more

If you're in East Cobb, Seed Kitchen & Bar is our go-to spot for lunch and dinner. I come here often because... The menu is consistently delicious. You must try the white corn grit fritters as an appetizer. I didn't order this time because there's four to a serving and I was alone. Reservations for lunch and dinner are always available. Walk-ins are also welcomed, but there's always a crowd here. The staff are incredibly efficient and friendly. Always. I have never had a bad service experience or anything close to it. The ambiance is the only thing I don't love, but it's okay. Seed is intimate, but very loud. I took a picture of my latest lunch. I picked the daily special, which includes small portions of a sandwich (pulled pork pictured), salad (this one with bacon Parmesan) and soup (butternut squash with toasted pumpkin seeds). It changes daily as the name implies. Parking is tighter with the new Marshall's, but really never a problem. read more

Wife and visited Seed recently, and we both had outstanding meals. I had the North Carolina fluke fish and my wife had the sweet potato ravioli. The fish was cooked with a great crispy edge. The ravioli is a classic fall meal at Seed. Both were amazing. We really enjoyed it. Service was, as always great. Highly recommend! read more

We had a wonderful visit to Seed this evening to celebrate a couple of birthdays. At the beginning of the evening there was a mix-up that led to a delay in getting our order taken, but once they realized it, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make it right. The service after that was excellent. The food was wonderful. Some of the stand-outs: WHITE CORN GRIT FRITTERS - creamy balls of delight HANGER STEAK FRITES - my son loved these. Our waitress recommended trying a jalapeño cream sauce for dipping the fries & the combo was a wonder. MISO MAPLE GLAZED SCALLOPS - perfectly cooked. A well constructed plate where the flavors complimented each other beautifully. BUTTERNUT SQUASH AGNOLOTTI - an excellent chose for the flavors of early fall CHARRED SPICE BABY CARROTS - my 13yo liked them so much he asked for a list of the spices so he could try to replicate the blend CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TORTE -wonderfully rich. If you like peanut butter pie, this will not disappoint. CARAMEL APPLE BREAD PUDDING - another great fall flavor. Not too sweet & the cinnamon ice cream was a treat LEMON MASCARPONE CHEESECAKE - about as light as a cheesecake could be. The lemon was present without overpowering. The blueberry compote complimented it well. POMEGRANATE GINGER ALE- my 13yo would have ordered this by the pitcher if we had let him. My thanks to everyone involved in preparing and serving our meal. We will definitely be back. read more

It's tough anymore to find a restaurant that solidly fires on all cylinders. Seed exceeded all of my expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Everything we ordered was great. Definitely plan to return! read more

I had a 12 noon reservation for 4 ladies on Tuesday 4/14. Food and service were fine. The girl at the reception desk not fine. I was totally ignored for 5+ minutes because she was on the phone. Very rude. I probably will not go back. Not really sure the food was as good as it used to be. I think it is going downhill. Many empty tables. read more

Such a special dining experience! The personalized menu with my name and birthday was an amazing touch, and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend! read more

What a delicious meal! I stopped by for lunch, and everything I had was absolutely amazing. The service was attentive and spot-on. I chose to sit outside, and the covered patio was perfectly cozy--not too hot or too chilly. I ordered the Haywood Turkey Sandwich, and I'm still thinking about it as I write this review. The bread was perfect, the sandwich was toasted to perfection, and the flavors were incredible with avocado and cheddar. I also had the parmesan garlic fries and wow --no artificial tangy truffle taste here, just fresh garlic and parmesan goodness. For dessert, I tried the tres leches cake, which was so moist but not too heavy and rich. It was a refreshing and comforting meal. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area and spreading the word about this hidden gem. Highly recommend if you're looking for a casual yet thoughtfully crafted dining experience! read more

Seed has a nice atmosphere but they don't quite have their act together. We finally were waited on after 15 minutes only because I asked the hostess if they were too busy to feed us. The server apparently didn't know we were her table. She was lovely (Taylor) and rescued the goof with a complimentary appetizer. The food was good. The fish sandwich needed more taste and the French fries perfect but really ketchup on the side? The bathroom toilet holders are both broken. That always makes me wonder about attention to detail. The manager was carrying out food but she seemed a bit clueless as the restaurant was full but she was chatting up the hostess. The hostess when not busy could have been walking around and checking on tables. read more

Overall really good restaurant and very consistent. The chocolate peanut butter torte is amazing. Soups and sandwiches are good as well.

I'm writing to share my recent experience with Seed Kitchen & Bar in Marietta, GA, regarding their New Year's Eve event today, December 31, 2025. I have a reservation for six at 6:30 pm and called on December 28th to book and confirm details, as I am a vegetarian. During my initial call, the hostess sounded audibly frustrated and condescending when I asked general questions about reserving for the event. I paused to let her know how her tone was coming across, and she did adjust, but it was an unprofessional first impression. I then asked about vegetarian options and pricing. She directed me to the New Year's Eve menu online, priced at $115 per person. While reviewing it on the phone, I noticed there was only one vegetarian entrée, while omnivores had multiple options. I asked: 1. Whether my rate could be adjusted given the significantly limited options. 2. Whether the chef and management might consider adding at least one additional vegetarian entrée. The hostess said she would pass my concerns to the manager and that I'd receive a call back within 24 hours. Instead, I received a call on New Year's Eve at 2:45 pm, just a few hours before my 6:30 pm reservation. The manager informed me that: * The price would remain the same. * No additional vegetarian entrée would be added. When I asked why, I was told it was not the restaurant's responsibility to encourage me to choose a vegetarian lifestyle--that this was my choice. I found this response dismissive and lacking empathy. Omnivores have multiple entrées that reflect their dietary preferences, while vegetarians have only one, yet everyone pays the same premium price. If dietary choices are considered purely personal and not something the restaurant aims to accommodate equitably, it's unclear why one group is offered several options while another receives only one. When I pointed out that I was promised a call days earlier, there was no real apology--only the explanation that the manager had been off work and then busy. For a $ 115-per-person New Year's Eve event, I expected more professionalism, better communication, and a more inclusive approach to dietary needs. Overall, the experience felt dismissive and disappointing. Seed, there is significant room for improvement. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! A must try in my opinion We came on my birthday and everything was perfect. The staff were so friendly and told me happy birthday! They even gave me a card they all signed & a menu with a happy birthday, Annie, just for the occasion. Literally top notch We tried the corn grit fritters upon our servers recommendation and they were positively tasty. Very impressive. We also got calamari which tasted fresh & crispy! For entrees, we got the braised short rib & the salmon. My husband just about licked his plate clean of the salmon with the truffled potatoes. I loved the short rib! It was so tender and the sauce was tangy and flavorful. They gave me a tres leches cake for my birthday and I was so full but honestly it was the best tres leches I've ever tried so I found some room for it... Super moist & creamy & sweet. I'm drooling just remembering it. They have plenty of parking in the strip mall parking lot Well definitely be back to try more items! read more

Excellent food at Seed! We had the grit fritters, lamb loin and pork chop!! So incredible. Carmen really took care of us! I had a nice gin drink with ginger and bitters - so refreshing. The lamb was cooked to med rare perfections and I loved the za'atar is like an herby delish thang! The israeli couscous, ellijay mushrooms, fava beans, baby carrots, chermoula, herb yogurt were a match made in heaven. It came highly recommended by our server as well as the hickory-smoked pork chop. The polenta, greens and red wine reduction were so smooth! read more

Our party of four had a great experience at Seed. The appetizer and dinner selections were delicious. Our server, Paul, provided exceptional customer care, from his wine recommendations to assistance with our meal selections and his overall attentiveness and proactive ways of anticipating our needs during our time dining in. Thanks for being so awesome, Paul! We will definitely be back. read more

The appetizer was a complete waste of money. $16 for four little balls of "grit fritters", but other than that, the meal was excellent, and the service was good. I recommend the place other than the overpriced appetizers. Ambiance was a bit loud and uncomfortable, a bit cramped. Overall, though, a great experience. The Happy Anniversary menus and card were delightful and appreciated. read more

Make a reservation or you will be sitting out side which is fine if the weather is good. The place is really nice and the food is Good but the prices are off the chart. 12 bucks for kids burger (tiny). Our meal was 100 bucks and we did not order drinks or alcohol. It really is just unreasonable. Maybe it is inflation but I think we will find a cheaper place next time, 30 bucks for 8 Ravioli blows my mind. read more

Amazing food! If I lived near here I would be here weekly if not a couple of times a week. Stop looking and just go! Thank me later!

The food is good and most of the staff is very friendly. But on more than one occasion I have had the same two bartenders flat out ignore me. It makes it worse when the other patrons have to call them out on it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. chef driven menu, great wait staff. I mean I literally can never decide what I wanna get when I eat here which is on a pretty regular basis. Great signature cocktails as well. highly recommend the smoked chicken tacos, the deviled eggs, the salads and the salmon. read more

Place has a great Sunday brunch. We go over after church some weeks. Food is fabulous, staff is great, great atmosphere and prices are sky high. If you don't want to drop some coin, go to Waffle House. The customers in the store didn't appear to mind dropping coin. Perfect for the Yuppies. read more

I'm looking forward to making my way through more of their menu. read more

Four stars based on my usual experience. The food is consistently good, but there's nothing I've had there that I'd classify as great. I like the schnitzel and the calamari. But I wanted to write this review because there aren't any discussing the brunch chicken and waffles. I love chicken and waffles and was encouraged by the description of "hot honey chicken." The beauty of chicken and waffles is that it has the savory chicken the sweet waffle and syrup. But I found this dish to be mostly inedible. The chicken was pretty good, but very rich and I tasted no hot and no honey. The cheddar and chives in the waffle was overwhelming. It was extremely rich, and I couldn't eat it even by itself. So rich on rich just wasn't a good combination. I gave my wife a bite of the waffle; she liked it enough that I asked them to box up my leftovers. They went away and never came back. I gave up and left. read more

Very high quality food and service. Easy to make a reservation online and we were promptly seated upon arriving. Not a chain, and the pride of independent ownership shows through in the quality of the food and service. Chicken schnitzel, scallops, and salmon were all amazing. You want a good quality meal? Try this place! read more

Everything was great. Service, ambiance, and food. Their hummus is extraordinary. We look forward to our next meal there.

Seed may actually be my favorite restaurant in the area. I love the ambiance and the menu. I'd give them five stars except that not all dishes are created equal. I've tried at least six entrees, and my husband and I end up playing a game of "You won!" And the other person sits sulking that he didn't order the best dish of the night. When in doubt, go with whatever ravioli is on the menu; it's always spectacular. We were excited by the anniversary tasting menu, and it was good but not great. Memorably delicious were the steak tartare, the ravioli per usual, and the blueberry cheesecake. Everything else was fine. The Maleficent cocktail tasted exactly like apple cider. I'll keep coming back, but I know what I'm ordering! read more

The best of high brow and quiet lunch. Met here for a girls meet up. They ask at the door for a reservation. We didn't have one. We were sat immediately. Hands down one of the best waiters I've ever encountered. Courteous, gracious, and sweet. If that's not enough to draw you in, the food was marvelous. I'll go into detail the next time I visit.

After searching for a farm to table restaurant we found Seed. Their menu options appeared to be what we were looking for and so we went there for lunch in celebration of our 10th wedding anniversary. The experience was wonderful: the service was impeccable. Our waiter was very attentive but not invasive. The food was wonderful: we had the crustini appetizer, the cod and pumpkin ravioli. The ambiance was open, calm and inviting. In addition, the staff presented us with a card and mentioned our special day on the menu. A very thoughtful gesture! We topped off our meal with a piece of Tres leche cake: yummy!!! We would highly recommend this restaurant for a celebration! read more

Great food, great drinks, great service! Had an awful experience at Marlows, so I decided to check this place out. Glad I did! This will be my new go-to when I'm in this part of town. The lovely Lady behind the bar Kristen made our day! We had a delicious Prosecco Elderberry with a lemon twist. So yummy! She also gave me a taste of their Moscow mule they have on tap. So good! They have an amazing cocktail list. We'd had a few bites of an appetizer at Marlows, so we were not hungry. All the food came out and looked amazing! Atmosphere was bright and airy. Everyone happy. The bar stools were so comfortable and made put of real high-grade leather. My friend and I decided this would be our go-to spot when I come to visit. Looking forward to one of their wine dinners or tastings! read more

Wonderful lunchtime or dinner in East Cobb. Have never had a bad meal. All the servers are great, especially Carmine. Make reservations and be sure to let them know if it's a special occasion. Clean.
