    Calamari, snapper & barbecued chicken
    Ryan B.

    My dinner club chose The Consulate as our locale for May & I was pleasantly surprised. Not only had I not heard of this restaurant, but it's smack in the heart of Midtown! Absolutely perfect location for a great dinner. We ordered everything on the new Singapore menu & everything was delicious. Red snapper, calamari.. barbecued chicken that had an amazing char.. coffee ribs.. everything we ate was wonderful. Our server Jay was phenomenal as well!! He was handling a few large parties and we never lacked for anything. I'll definitely be back again.

    A very nice restaurant that happens to be a few blocks from where I live. Good service and ice cold beer, plus the food there is not bad. We enjoyed all the appetizers, drinks, cocktails, and recommended dishes.

    Inside

    I really really enjoyed my experience at The Consulate. When I arrived, I parked in the garage and needed to walk down the stairs and around the stairwell to find the entrance. (That part was a bit confusing as there weren't any signs for guidance.) The place was decked out with momentos from around the world with a cute lounge for waiting. We made a reservation and was seated immediately. Our waiter gave us a great run down explaining the menu highlights food from a country for 90 days before changing to another country. We were ere exploring the Galapagos Island. I ordered the empanadas, jollof rice. And my friend had the snapper with broccolini and seasoned yellow rice. Everything was really yummy!! I definitely wanna go back and leave room to eat dessert.

    Lamb Tibs - Ethiopia
    Leyang Z.

    A restaurant that has on my list for almost a year and finally I gave it a try recently. Unlike most restaurant I have been to, this one specializes in "not specializing dishes": every 90 days they pick a lucky customer to turn the globe and wherever it stops they make the food there for the next 90 days. When I went there the restaurant was serving Galapagos cuisine. They also have a usual menu. Unfortunately because I am allergic to many seafood I ended up having the Ethiopian lamb tibs, and my friend got the Hawaiian short ribs. Both dishes were good. My lamb had a distinct spiciness and wax tender. The side of rice was similar to what you find in China, instead of those in India or Middle East. However, the short rib was too small in serving size considering its cost ($53). It was almost the same size as my lamb which cost. Inside of this restaurant was fantastic, featuring lots of decorative showcasing different parts of the world. Would be great for dating. Besides, there was not much service, even though they charge a mandatory 18% service fee...

    My bf and I try to come at once a quarter to try the new menus. Right now they have Jamaican through 4/1 (1 month longer than usual) which our waitress said is partially due to how popular the menu is. I know she's supposed to hype but the place was PACKED on a WEDNESDAY and this was perhaps the best experience I've had in all my years eating here. The coconut milk marinated rice and peas, jerk chicken, gift of the moons pork belly, escovitch, and island Shepard skillet were all wonderfully seasoned and packed full of flavor. The service was fast and attentive, the decor is always a hoot to observe, and I'll be back before 4/1 to try the curry goat and oxtail soup.

    Came here for the second time for girls night. The last time we went for the Galapagos menu, the food and the drinks were amazing!! We were so excited to come back! We were told about spin the globe night but we were given the wrong date and no real details so we missed it. Next step has been Jamaica. I'm Jamaican so I was a little weary but I was interested to see how they would create these dishes. Starting with the appetizers, we ordered wontons, the shrimp and bell pepper dish, and mushroom noodles with jerk chicken. We also ordered a round of drinks. The wontons were extremely dry on the inside, the only thing saving them was the sauce. I tasted no shrimp or pork it actually had no taste whatsoever. The noodles were udon noodles were super thick and it was a heavy dish because they gave you a great portion of it. I didn't taste any chicken and neither did my friend , but my other friend said she did. Everyone's drinks were OK nothing that I would rave about and actually one of my friends asked for a drink that was part of the last menu that they couldn't make in house because they have the ingredients they have on hand are for the menu theme I guess. For dinner I ordered the Bulgogi and we all ordered another round of drinks. This time two of my friends got the espresso martini which later ended up coming to about $24. A regular espresso martini, no additions! One friend liked hers, the other didn't but there were no refunds on drinks. I had wine that I paid standard price for at a nicer restaurant (which is honestly too much) at $18 a glass. The Bulgogi was not good. Both my friend and I got it and we said the meat was soft and crumbly almost like mystery meat and it tasted like nothing else but the goalie you couldn't even taste any flavor in the noodles. We lowkey were mad we spent $40 on that dish. Last was dessert. I ordered the cheesecake and my other friend got the sherbet. She loves a sherbet because she is vegan and I love cheesecake. It's an interesting cheesecake because it has an Oreo crust, pistachio filling, and I believe passionfruit jelly drizzle. The jelly made it quite tart and very interesting tasting. I was on the fence about it, one friend hated it and one friend loved it. Overall we said that we probably would not be back unless there was something on the menu that really made us excited. One friend has been three times and she said twice it disappointed her so she will no longer be going back.

    I came to the Consulate with a work group which was the perfect occasion! A reservation is a must here and its definitely not the easiest to get but let me tell you its worth it! We had a Wednesday reservation for 7PM and the Consulate was extremely accommodating with our changing party size which we greatly appreciated. Once seated, the restaurant has a great vibe. Super intimate and easy to talk to the people you are seated with. When ordering, we opted to order a lot from the "visa" menu since these dishes aren't around forever! I got a great date based whiskey cocktail and we got a bunch of great appetizers. A mezze board of sorts with olives, chicken skewers and duck confit and it was all delcious! For my main entree, I opted for the lamb shank from the visa menu and wow the portion was hefty! The lamb was super tender and the mashed potatoes that came with it was a great combo. No meal is complete without dessert so of course we got one of each. The baklava was delicious, the cake was super moist and the sorbet was great. The flan was also good but not our favorite of our choices. Overall, this was a stunning meal and the Consulate would be a great backdrop for any event!

    Love, love, love Consulate! The vibe there is eclectic and international. They have a great seating area as an alternative to the bar. The food is always delicious. Whether you choose from their quarterly menu or their standard menu. My experience with service has been mixed. There are times when it's good, my most recent time I waitress gave certain people more attention and service than me, like pack their to-go food and constant check-ins. Even though, I definitely spent more (4 drinks, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, desert, cordials and coffee). Despite my most recent experience, I will come back, that was 1:4 times.

    Everything went well! It was my nephews graduation dinner from Morehouse. Our table was ready on time for our large party. Our server was FABULOUS. I love the changing menu so there's always something new from a different region to try. I can't wait to return!

    The Consulate is such a cool spot, perfect for a date night! The whole concept of a rotating Visa menu featuring different countries is super fun, and this time, it was inspired by Indonesia. We tried the Beef Rendang, which was tender, flavorful, and just really well done. The Chicken Satay was surprisingly light and airy, and the peanut sauce was the perfect complement. Everything we had was delicious! Our server, Deja, was awesome--super friendly and attentive, making sure we had a great experience. Since we were celebrating a few milestones, they even brought out a complimentary champagne toast, which was such a nice touch. Overall, we had an amazing night. Great vibes, great food, and great service--definitely a spot worth checking out! TIPS: * It's right outside the Midtown MARTA Station * They validate parking if you park in the 10 10 parking deck

    Vibes: perfect for girls' night. Strong drinks and chic interior, with prob the best servers and bartenders in midtown (thx for the free shots). Food wasn't our absolute fav, but I think we just didn't realize what we were ordering lol. Adding this to my list of ATL recs.

    Dumplings

    Came here for my birthday dinner a couple weeks ago and am obsessed! We came in a on Thursday and made a reservation. It wasn't too crowded when we got there, but it filled up! They validate parking in the parking deck next to the restaurant. Our waitress was great and gave great suggestions. I love that they switch their menu every 3 months for a new country. It was Egypt when we went. Everything was amazing! We ordered 3 things from the rotating menu, and 2 things from the year round menu. From the Egypt menu, we got the hummus, falafel and a lamb hand pie. From the year round menu, we got the egg rolls and the dumplings. You must get the egg rolls! Everything was delicious and I'd for sure come back to try their next menu! Such a good spot.

    Beautiful historic interior with elegant furniture, Lounge area, and private president's room. Room. We sat in a beautiful Booth for a birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and service. The menu is special, honoring a different cuisine and country every 90 days, very impressive. It was the Galapagos Islands while I was there. The seafood paella was delicious. The ceviche was okay, lacking flavor. The server was entertaining and gave us a free dessert for birthday, which was really special!

    Ask the Community - The Consulate

    Is it true there is not a manager on-site? I wanted to discuss an issue we were having with the hostess and was told there were owners but no managers. The hostess almost ruined a great evening.

    False. The owners are in the building each and every night.

    Do they allow children?

    Yes, but we have no hi-chairs or kids menu.

    What is the dress code?

    Some dine before the Fox Theatre in tuxes and gowns, others live nearby and are smart casual.

    I want to get my friend a gift card for The Consulate. Do you all have those?

    YES, stop in any day during business hours to get a gift card!

    Hello, does this restaurant have gift card options?

    Yes. The Consulates website under Visit button. Click GOLD card icon.

    Can I set up a reservation please?

    Yes, through open table or by calling

    Hello, looking to have my husband's birthday celebration here- can they accommodate a party of 14?

    yes. However....if you want the private room, the max is 12. There is no fee for the private room.

    Do I need to make a reservation? Do they accept walk ins?

    Walk ins are fine, but during busy night a reservation is suggested.

    Are they currently open? Haven't been able to reach anyone on the phone for the past week

    Yes they are

    Anyone know when they're changing their menu next?

    We just changed from Australia to The Philippines last week. It will continue through the summer....

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

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!
