I love the outdoor seating but the food was mediocre for the price. The food was served in a box with plastic ware. I think if you are going to charge$ 22.00 for a chicken sandwich it should be served on a plate, not to mention the bread was soggy because it sat in a closed box. Also not an ideal place to grab drinks seeing that you have to wait in the long line of people who are ordering food for a refill, a separate line for beverages would be very beneficial Also I have tried calling for two weeks to make a reservation and no one picks up the phone or calls back when you leave a message. I went here for lunch to make the reservation in person. After my experience I will not be going back. read more

Was looking for a nice cafe to get coffee and sit down to work. Came across this gem! There's a restaurant side which I didn't go into. When you walk thru the doors there's a few cafe sized tables in front and then the counter where you order. There's also seating outside but it was a rainy day when I went. The coffee was decent. Nothing too special to write home about. I will be back. read more

Great place for brunch. Chicken schnitzel was perfectly done, crispy outside and very tender & juicy inside. Great food and nice service, I really enjoyed it! read more

Their dinner reservation list is still pretty much booked during peak time, but I was able to find a spot and I loved my dining experience. The menu seemed beautifully and thoughtfully curated and every dish was delicious. We had the shrimp and grits, new york strip, and lobster agnolotti. Every single dish is highly recommended! Apple cobbler dessert was also very good to the last bite. Overall, wonderful service and an excellent dining experience! read more

Atmosphere: main dining area--very loud, some people like that--but to the point where it becomes hard to hear people beside you at the table and the waiter. Main dining area was cold for me. Apparently the tent is warm. Food--we liked the appetizers: steak tartar, Brussels sprouts; also enjoyed the leek risotto, and the lamb entrees. Pecan pie for desert was pretty good except the crust was overly thick. The food looked good all around. Parking: pretty much valet only it seemed, unless you can find street parking around The park. What stands out? The bathrooms. Single, luxuriously thick hand towels, and those little vacant/occupied doorknob things like an airplane!!! read more

I dined at this restaurant on 2/24/2024. What's not to love. From the moment I pulled into valet parking everything exceeded my expectations. I ordered the pan seared grouper with coconut rice and it was amazing. I had the sourdough bread and it was delectable and not tart like your average sourdough. My friend had the gluten free cheddar biscuits and they were definitely the best I've ever had, tender with an amazing taste. They did not taste like anything I've ever had gluten free. The mushrooms I believe they were mataki were so flavorful. For dessert we had the chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. Hers was gluten free. How can I give this cookie its props. First warm, tender and oozing with chocolatey goodness. The servers and wait staff were amazing as was the ambiance. And last but not least. On my way to the water closet I peeped the kitchen. I've never seen a more immaculate kitchen where meals are being prepared. If you haven't been you are definitely missing out on this gem tucked into the Chastain park neighborhood. Five stars doesn't do it for this restaurant. Just go! read more

The brunch on the terrace was great. Our server was very attentive and what a darling personality. The food was very good and they have some amazing dishes. Looking forward to returning. read more

Wonderful food and ambiance. Everyone liked their dish. Service was good too. A fun, quaint neighborhood restaurant!

This is my first visit since the renovations... and let's just say, it was worth it! Dinner was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

Ah-amazingly delicious!! Had lunch on the tented, heated patio. Enjoy a bottle of wine along with the chicken schnitzel. Couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate me! read more

Excellent in every way. Love the new look, the food was amazing, service was just very slow- but overall great experience!

Outstanding food and service. Creative entrees with fresh ingredients. There is a garden onsite which provides fresh produce for the restaurant. They are open for brunch on the weekends and a grab and go breakfast during the week. Wide variety of entrees heavy on seafood. Inside and outside seating. Great service. read more

Rustic elegance. Great food and top notch service. Had brunch here on a very busy Saturday with a reservation. Everything was excellent. Best eggs benedict ever. Biscuits are fantastic. Highly recommend. read more

Poor timing on food. Loud on terrace. Uncomfortable seats. Drinks came well into the first course. Server never came back. Main course misfires. Cold pot pie side. Food meh. Could not wait to get out of there. Oh and it was my birthday. And they knew it. And the service could not have been worse. read more

Ambience was fine. Service was attentive, maybe a little too attentive. Prices were high and higher. Menu and Food were tooo complicated.

If The Chastain were a song, it would be Led Zeppelins' Kashmir; ponderous and loud. We were told that they spent five figures on acoustical panels. They were robbed. Built of glass and wood, and apart the aforementioned panels, there is nothing to create the refined yet relaxed ambiance that one might expect; our server could barely hear us, and I could barely hear my wife seated next to me, Just happy that the server brought the right wine, as their list gets pricey quickly. As to the food; onion soup was reduced to the consistency of a sauce (yes, for food it's possible to be too rich.) The crouton, overwhelmed by cheese, did it no favors. A vegetable tempura appetizer was described thus: "the chef barely allows the batter to touch the vegetables." The pretentiousness of that line might be forgiven if the result were not so ordinary. Salmon was served with a beurre blanc, however the only discernable flavor was butter, it lacked any of the sparkle that was needed (vinegar, lemon, shallots?) to counteract the fattiness of the fish. Neither the gratineed potatoes nor a soggy squash cake added to the dish, same with the caviar atop the squash. A side of Brussels sprouts were drenched in a teriyaki sauce, obliterating the flavors of these mini cabbages. We passed on desert; exiting into the fresh air and quiet of Chastain Park was as as rewarding as any amount of chocolate could have been. Truth is, I'm a bit puzzled; the chef has a solid pedigree, we had many great meals at Atlas, and when the chef left that restaurant suffered. Perhaps colleagues at Atlas encouraged some restraint? I hope he gets his mojo back (and hires a new sound engineer.) It's a restaurant that we really want to be able to like. read more

Wonderful experience, a cut above--the service, ambiance, the flavors. Can't wait to return

Excellent food and great service. Drinks are also delicious!!!!!! Chicken pot pie is scrumptious. I order it every time.

Quiet and serene location paired with tasty, new American dishes. Definitely would return.

I enjoying stopping here during my weekend bike ride. The coffee and baked goods are excellent, but the one thing I need to mention is the order taking process is very slow. It's not uncommon to stand in queue for 40 minutes or more. The attendant at the cash is taking orders and dealing with payment while filling coffee and drink cups. It's not very efficient and frustrating. read more

Just finished a girls brunch and it was not good in all areas. Food was bad. Service was bad. They got our order wrong and didn't seem to care. We gave them feedback and they didn't seem to care. Also extremely loud restaurant. We will not be going back. read more

Good food but incredibly poor service. My girlfriend has gone several times as well as myself and we had enjoyed our experiences up until yesterday. We usually have a good breakfast together and then go for a walk in the park. Yesterday upon returning we were greeted by an employee in the parking lot that told us we needed to move our car. We explained that we were patrons at the Chastain and were out for a short walk. This angered the employee and he started berating us for leaving our car and that it had certainly cost them business. I assured him that we had given the restaurant a lot of business and my girlfriend frequently recommends the location to her friends! He continued to berate us and and always tried to get the last word. I eventually said that next time we just won't come to the restaurant, we'll go elsewhere. He replied that they would like that! I don't know of any restaurant that tells people they would rather have them go somewhere else. Incredible that a service organization could be so against good customer service. We will most certainly not be returning and will make sure to tell everyone we know about this incredibly rude experience. I've never been berated and treated so poorly at a restaurant in my life. read more

Lovely coffee patio. Yummy toast and muffin. I love them. However, blueberry toast is too small for the price . Anyway, I still love the place. read more

Love sitting outside, service was wonderful and the avocado toast was notable. Black coffee was not my fave.

We went for dinner on Friday night and it was perfect. I love the outdoor space. Food was delicious, great service and prices were reasonable for the value of the food. I totally recommend this place! read more

I HEARD ONE OF THE MANAGERS HERE ABSOLUTELY TRASH TALKING THE CUSTOMERS. I'm not sure if they do this regularly but this is so disrespectful. Good food here terrible attitudes. Servers are rude as well. Tread carefully at this place because chances are they're talking behind your back as soon as they walk away. Trashy. read more

We simple went for breakfast and a pastry, and were promptly told we couldn't utilize any seating at the restaurant because they were preparing for dinner service at 9am... when asked where we could sit they simply replied with "anywhere but here". read more

Definitely overpriced and overhyped. An outdoor patio with like a plastic cover and can't believe is in so much demand. Drinks were good but food was okay - nothing out of this world. Staff asks us to not only order drinks and apps but main course too in one go, which is disappointing ( as who knows I may not be really hungry ), well may be after their appetizer. This is one thing I truly did t appreciate. read more

The food was decent, service was ok but the price for the value was waaay off. Friends had the salmon which was undercooked and other fish dish was undercooked. Not a big show stopper but the part that is annoying was the $500 tab for 6 people. No apps, just dinner and drinks. If it wasn't for the concerts this place would be struggling as we're never going back. Ridiculous price for what we received. read more

My daughter lives in walking distance. My previous bill for family dinner was around $ 800. Today my wife went for breakfast . There was no seating with cover though multiple tables reserved . We walked to the covered area . A young women was speaking to employees who occupied perhaps 30 % of the space . We sat at the edge of the covered area and were told we must move to the rear garden which has tables without umbrellas . I used to be ceo of 2 of the top ten rated malls in the country and 5 luxury hotels with in excess of 3000 rooms . If I had heard an employee speak to a a customer in such a manner I would have told her vice president that you look for a way to accommodate your customers comfortably , not yourself . One warning , next similar behavior you list your job . In this instance the only result is the loss of the reservation for dinner in a week which would have resulted in an $800 tab . Your food is good but there are other options. Don Mccrory read more

We really want to like this place- it's so convenient to the park! We will come back for a cocktail, but I'm skipping the food. I have always struggled to find something on the menu that I want - it veers overpriced and overly formal and not good enough to be either. Last night though, I'm 98% sure that the Poulet Rouge (36$) was served with canned white asparagus. Canned. White. Asparagus. For 36$. We were also told that they did not have tomatoes to put on a hamburger, because "tomatoes are not in season". It's June 1st. Nope!!!!! read more

Always, always great food and excellent service! Love the atmosphere of this neighborhood restaurant that's always clean and inviting.

Tons of outdoor space on their expansive patio. We went for breakfast, so can only speak to that. Fresh pastries (even a few GF choices), some good breakfast sandwich options (I highly recommend the biscuit with bacon, egg and cheese), and great coffee and tea choices. This is a great stop for your morning coffee and a light breakfast. It can get crowded on the weekends, but the line moves relatively fast. read more

Amazing amazing amazing! This restaurant has 5 stars in all categories from excellent service, phenomenally delicious appetizers entrees AND desserts. Our family enjoyed dinner outdoors under trees and stars-need I say more about the ambiance? The restaurant offers a romantic under the stars effect perfect for causal or special occasion dinners. Service was as near perfect as I've ever had. The chefs creations were all delectable and even my children couldn't stop saying they would give it 1,000 stars if they could. We live in the neighborhood and will be regulars. read more

I would give The Chastain 5-stars except for one major flaw, the handling of their line, which in my view is poorly managed. I live around the corner and have been a "regular" since it re-opened. I've witnessed the line grow and grow to the point where from ~10am - 1pm on weekends the wait for a latte and pastry is frequently more than 40 minutes from arrival to receipt of food. When you have children this is completely unpalatable and even for those who don't its hard to justify. Occasionally the restaurants opens a side line which cuts the overall wait time down by 15-20 minutes, but I haven't seen that in a while. If management reads my posting I am sure they will say "we aren't hurting for business" but I can share that the four neighbors in my culdesac have all said that they have stopped going in the mornings due to the poorly managed line. Again, management still may not care, but they are definitely missing out on thousands of dollars per week based on people who will not endure the line. The solution... implement "at table" or even "at chair" ordering so that patrons can avoid the 20-25 minutes they currently spend in line. This will allow the The Chastain to also prioritize orders and capture business from people who simply want a coffee or latte and cannot justify standing in line. At table ordering will reduce costs associated with "front of house" and eliminates the 2-3 minutes it takes for each person to communicate their order and pay. When the line is ~10-15 parties deep, as it frequently is, this adds up to real friction (and frustration). The Chastain already has this functionality built into their POS and all they need to do is implement it. Until then, I have had to shift my business (~$50/wk) elsewhere. I hope to be a customer again, but until then... read more

This was our first time coming to The Chastain and we really enjoyed our! The overall look and vibe of the restaurant is great. We had a nice table outside that was perfect for our larger group. There are beautiful trees, strung lights, and a small little waiting nook that has an outdoor fire pit. Our waiter, Adam, was phenomenal. He was outgoing, attentive, and easily accommodated all of our needs. In terms of the food, this restaurant has a lot of delicious dishes. Since we had a big group it would take me forever to name everything we got but some of our favorites included the double fermented house sourdough, Vonnie's Sprouts salad, tomato agnolotti, Alaskan Halibut, side of French fries, sweet potatoes, and my personal favorite: the macaroni and cheese! One thing to be aware of when sitting outside is there were ants crawling on our table quite regularly. We loved our time at The Chastain and we will definitely be back! read more

A locals hangout for a good meal. Drinks are great and try to sit on the patio. It's fun to watch everyone walk by. Food is a hit or miss They change the menu often so spring menu should be great At chastain it's all about the ambience read more

We usually frequent this place for coffee and salads. Once in a while we do enjoy dinner here with family. I had a table reservation for 5.15 for a party of 4 on Friday Mar 3. This was a business dinner with two guests. We walked into the dining room to find only two other well placed tables occupied while we were led to be seated right at the entrance walkway. So we requested a better table and the manager came up and proceeded to give a long winded explanation on how if he assigned us a table the reservations coming up would be messed up. Is there a hierarchy that I am missing here? He instead offered to seat us in the patio and we reluctantly accepted as It had been raining heavily and it wasn't the experience we were looking for. I am still a little flabbergasted as to why our group was not as important as the upcoming groups. On the whole we came here with an expectation of ambience and hospitality that was definitely missing. Wasted dollars on an expensive dinner that did not deliver. read more

Great new spot. Fantastic service from Victoria who gave great recommendations. Rabbit gnocchi, lamb and NY strip were fabulous. Cookie dessert fantastic. Great cocktails and wine list. Decor and ambiance takes experience to next level. Look forward to my next visit. read more

The food is bland and the service is terrible. Tried it out on two sep occasions with the same disappointing experience. Definitely will not be back. Really miss horseradish grill as whoever the investors were for this new concept ruined a 30+ year staple. A big disappointment for Chastain and it's a shame they can't hire competent staff. read more
