    Short Rib Pasta
    Noelle L.

    Came for a birthday dinner but was late due to an Atlanta full traffic stop on I-75. We missed our 15-minute reservation window by three minutes and were told our reservation was cancelled. However, we were still able to be seated at the high top tables. The food was good. The inside is very beautiful though, full of flowers and has a fairy garden ambiance. I would return for drinks and ambiance.

    This restaurant is pretty , but that's it. The food was way over priced and not good. The portions are extremely small , but the price is extremely high. The decoration was beautiful, good service. Parking is $20.

    Lovely dining space

    Well, I wasn't quite sure what the Garden Room hour entailed and frankly we were disappointed that it meant no food being offered until 5pm. We also learned that the GR and Atlas are third party kitchens despite being located in the St. Regis area. Easy access from the 4th floor or via the outdoor green space. Nothing on the menu persuaded us to remain there until 5pm so that prompted our visit to Rosetta bakery. Things happen for a reason, right? Overall, a pretty room with lots of fake flowers make it ideal for a girl's day out. Our cocktails were artfully made and service was top notch. Recommendation would be to at least offer bar snacks to avoid such a dead zone for patrons.

    Wagyu & Grits
    Juliana S.

    Officially one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Finding a space that's as gorgeous as the food is delicious? That's uniquely impressive. Greenery and delicate flowers line every inch of the place. It's pretty much like dining in a lush, plush greenhouse. Our server was amazing and the food was EVERYTHING! We had the lobster omelette and the wagyu and grits. Before that, the cheese service with their cart holding the entire cheese selection. I fell in love with the Capriole goat cheese that has tea rose petals on the outside, but there are plenty of great options, for sure. Can you tell I can't wait to return? I'm looking forward to coming for dinner and trying the caviar service next! It's located in the St. Regis, and it's a great spot for date night!

    Hi, I'm Elle, I'm 8 months old. The second we walked into the Garden Room I started kicking my feet the sheer beauty and flowers everywhere had me absolutely stunned, 10/10 first impression. Mama had the oysters, and naturally I needed a taste of the experience myself -- so I gnawed on a shell like it was my personal teether. 10/10 texture, would chew again. Very refined for someone with zero teeth. Overall, gorgeous spot, excellent shells (for eating and for chewing), already lobbying to come back.

    The Garden Room inside The St. Regis Atlanta in Buckhead is pure garden wonderland luxury. The space feels lush, feminine, and effortlessly classy, perfectly matching the beauty of the St. Regis. The cucumber salad was so fresh and crisp and the lobster roll so rich and flavorful with that subtle red seasoning, I completely forgot to take a picture. That's how good it was. The FM Rocher chocolate decadence closed the night with smooth chocolate and edible gold foil for a truly luxe, regal finish. An elevated, polished Buckhead experience.

    Went to The Garden Room on a Saturday night for cocktails before heading out, and we got lucky snagging seats at the bar. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and clearly knew what they were doing, our drinks were well prepared and tasted great. The space itself is definitely a cool spot to chill, vibe, and people-watch while enjoying cocktails. It felt like the perfect pregame location, lively but not overwhelming, stylish without being stuffy. Overall, a great place to start the night with good drinks and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come back for cocktails before going out again.

    Okay so this restaurant is exactly what I expected. It is very instragrammable and their price point does match the area they are located. I used valet for parking and that is my easy go to. The food was actually alot tastier than I remember it being and the service was very pleasant. I think it's a staple place to try atleast once or make it a regular spot for girl's night or a date!

    I like to start off with the positive, I was offered a few ducks to take with me and the music was good! Outside of that everything was flat from the service, the drinks were not strong, the food was very petite, hard to justify calling it a chicken biscuit with 2 scoops of biscuit and a chicken thigh cut in half for $36. Valet is normally $36 but with the voucher it is $20. 20% gratuity added to all bills. The decor just seemed faded and lack luster....I could seem the vision but just missing the mark on a lot of things. I didn't get the picture of the shrimp cocktail but for $25, you get 4 shrimp. I wouldn't go back but try it for yourself.

    Lobster Roll
    Lisa Z.

    One of those places you go for the ambience not really for the food. The interior is stunning, straight out of a storybook. It's located in the St. Regis so its upscale fine dining. My mom and I weren't that hungry so we ordered two appetizers, the lobster roll and baby back ribs and an entree the truffle pillows. The portions are smaller, but it was the right amount of food for the two of us. I feel like the waitress was judging us because we didn't order much and that put me off - we deserve the same amount of attention regardless of how much we spent. The food was good but not amazing where it justifies the price. Definitely can get better food that costs a lot less.

    Randomly stumbled into this place while I waited for my table at Chops & Lobster Bar. Its intimate, low key, sexy and good vibes. The drinks were creative but most importantly good and strong. While I didnt eat, the apps I saw folks ordering at the bar looked tasty especially the chicken nuggets with caviar. Ill definitely return.

    Jordan S.

    Great staff, fun and creative drinks, amazing vibe. Garden room was such a great late night vibe that wasn't too loud or crowded and also perfect amount upscale. Perfect for a girls night out, date or dinner with friends!

    We unexpectedly had a long layover in Atlanta and were staying with a friend. I looked on my Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card benefits and saw that this was a restaurant where you got a $150 credit so we were able to get last minute reservations for brunch here at 11am. The inside is gorgeous and very floral and girly with a touch of whimsy. I adored the interior! There's a bar area along with tables with chairs. The food and drinks we got were pretty good. The duck with the waffle was excellent and my I Love Lychee cocktail was delightful! It was my friend's birthday so they gave her a small birthday treat with a lit candle.

    Ask the Community - The Garden Room

    I would like to plan a birthday dinner the first week in November, is the Garden still appealing in the fall?

    Yes! All year long

    Is there a DJ on Thursdays?

    Can you reserve a seat at the bar or is it only first come first serve seating there?

    The bar seating does not require reservations, it is first come first serve.

    What's the difference between the standard and high top seat?

    Standard is more like your traditional dining room or restaurant seating. High top is more like a bar seating with with longer legs on the chair so you're sitting higher.

    Can you self-park in the St. Regis parking deck? And how much does it cost?

    Valet was $12 for us,

    Ate the plants and flowers real or fake?

    Some are real. Some are fake.

    Do they offer mock tails?

    Yes

    My friend and I are visiting from out of town and we'd love to celebrate her birthday but rsvps are unavailable? How can I get a table here? It would mean the world to her!

    Get there as soon as they open!

    Are there vegan options?

    The menu is available online for preview.

    I tried making a reservation, nothing available from now and until 7/17? Why?

    Hi! At the moment we are fully committed through the month of June/July and for standard dining reservations, but our bar is first come first serve + full service during… 

    If I don't have a reservation, can I still walk up and put my name down?

    Waiter told me call through the week as they have several cancellations and it's easier to get a reservation that way vs OpenTable.

    What's the dress code?

    You should def look nice but I don't think there's a formal dress code. It's so pretty, you'll want to take pics.

    Do I need reservations?

    To guarantee seating. You may be able to be able to find a spot at the bar.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    I don't think so. It's mostly like a lounge/cocktail bar. The plates are small/sharable and the food is not very kid friendly.

    Is there a way to see what dates and times are available? Every time slot and date I choose is not available even two months from now.

    I would call

    Is this actually an outdoor lounge? Or is it in an enclosed space?

    It's an enclosed space.

    Is this a three dollar sign restaurant?

    Yes

    Are there any non-alcoholic drink options (i.e coke products, juice, etc.)?

    Coke

    Are there any vegan options here?

    Yes

    How much was your meal here? Website doesn't say.

    my two friends and I got 2 drinks each and shared 1 appetizers and 2 entrees and our bill was $70 ish each

    My mother wanted seafood for her birthday, and after hearing so many great things about this…read morerestaurant, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally give it a try. Making reservations was incredibly easy through OpenTable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient valet service for only $3. It was an effortless start to what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the host and promptly escorted to our table without any wait. Our waiter, Kevin, was phenomenal. He did an excellent job explaining the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations, and making sure everyone's needs were attended to throughout the afternoon. The service was attentive without being overbearing--truly excellent and unforgettable hospitality. We started with the Chargrilled Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and Calamari. Everything was satisfying, but the calamari was the standout for me. It had the perfect crunch and was quite literally fried to perfection. I would absolutely order it again. These appetizers are true staples and a great way to start the meal. We also enjoyed several rounds of cocktails. The bartender was able to execute a few off-menu, custom cocktails perfectly, and there were absolutely no complaints from our table. Everything was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the Blackened Branzino with lemon-herb beurre blanc, paired with whipped potatoes and Vichy carrots. By far, this is one of the best seafood entrées I've had in Atlanta. I've had branzino at plenty of other restaurants, but this one? It clears the competition and has officially claimed the #1 spot on my list. The fish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sauce and sides. The rest of our party had equally impressive meals. I had the opportunity to sample the 12 oz. Prime NY Strip, Blackened Salmon, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Brussels Sprouts, Green Beans, and Clam Chowder, and everything was amazing. There wasn't a single dish that disappointed. Overall, this was truly an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Great food, phenomenal hospitality, attentive service, and an atmosphere that made celebrating my mother's birthday feel special. I'm already looking forward to returning--and next time, I definitely want to check out the patio! A true standout for seafood in Atlanta. Highly recommend.

This batch was a little spicier than the Vinings location, but still delicious (just ask for light seasoning if you're sensitive to heat). We paired the oysters with calamari, truffle fries, and a couple of glasses of the HH Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Everything tasted good, and our server Dayvion gave us excellent service. They have valet and a parking deck right next door. Definitely recommend if you're in the neighborhood!

It's in a shopping center so there are plenty of parking, but you may not be able to park close to where you want to walk to the door to because there are so many other spots there. But the parking is free in Buckhead. So that's a plus! There's spaces inside and outside for you to go to, so that's good, but the inside is very nice and decorated very well. They have TV so you can watch sports but it's not a sports bar so don't get that confused. The bar is a nice size and set it pretty well. Not billions of bottles but just enough to what you need. Dean was my my server and bartender, super good customer service, very warm and communicative, and I would have come back just to sit at the bar with him again. The ball is very well kept and very clean, but the whole establishment was as well. They have a lot of space by the bar and to the other side of the restaurant as well. The menu is predominantly seafood related but they have other things as well. But they have a couple things that look like. They should be really really good so I am going to have to double back! Calamari - The calamari was pretty good. It came out really fast so it makes me think that they were already cooking by the time I ordered LOL. But it had a sweet chili sauce to it, but the calamari seem to be crispy and seasoned enough to where it wasn't a requirement. Brussel sprouts - brussel sprouts for good, kind of wish they had more of them but they were still pretty tasty. Overall. They had the vinaigrette flavor so I know that they were cooked well. They were more firmed and mushy so that was good. I would get them again and I was see. Can I get a full order instead of just a side order because they were just that good. Old bay fries - The Old Bay fries were okay. They had that sodium to where you needed ketchup to kind of bring the sweet. But they were still good though regardless. Shrimp tacos - these were good. Had 3 large shrimp. Got mine blackened and they were just the right amount of taste and flavor. The sauce on it was a little much but that was okay though, it balanced out all of the spice for the peppers and the shrimp seasoning. Gumbo - the gumbo was pretty good and it came in a large bowl, more than you would think a cup would be. Savory and tasty. Overall, with the quality of the food and the customer service, I feel like this place definitely deserves my attention again. The first time I went in I only had a couple of appetizers, and that really didn't do it justice.

We enjoyed the Fried Calamari app. My bride ordered Fish & Chips and I ordered the Lobster Roll. All the food was excellent. Great fries, really great Cole Slaw. Drinks and food arrived promptly and everything was at the proper temperature. Every staff person we met was cheerful and helpful with Deenie our server best in class. This was my second-ever Lobster Roll and it was the second-best after a Cousins Food Truck. The B's portion seem significantly smaller and, at $35, more expensive.

Monday through Friday from 3-5 p.m., they offer $1 raw oysters, $2 Oysters Rockefeller, and $1 peel-and-eat shrimp, which is such a good deal. While their regular menu is really good as well, this visit was all about happy hour, and it definitely did not disappoint. I'll absolutely be back for the oysters!

    It is exciting to find a restaurant serving great Cajun food (probably my favorite cuisine)…read more They have all the dishes you'd expect from a serious Cajun restaurant. Multiple stuffed and topped redfish options, lots of crawfish, and plenty of dishes that require a roux (all things that lesser restaurants are clearly afraid, or unable, to offer on their menus). For me, most importantly, they have crawfish etouffee. Any other dinner items will have to wait till a future visit. It was terrific, made from a hearty roux, with lots of crawfish flavor. It was a more tomato-y variety of etouffee than I make for myself, but it was excellent in a different way (the tomato presence was good -- neither sour nor bland). Service is great, attentive but not obtrusive. Plus, they have live jazz music -- even though I was there too early for the live music, it's important to support restaurants that make the effort to have real musicians. Nearly everywhere in Atlanta has very kind people and very good food, but I will still try to stop by the Louisiana Bistreaux next time I'm visiting the friendly sweltering inferno that is Atlanta.

Our daughter spent the first few minutes waving at the staff, and they genuinely lit up every time -- such a warm, welcoming vibe right from the jump.

The crispy shrimp toast was another hit -- crunchy, savory, and a great pairing with the soup. We also ordered the Baker's Dozen oysters, chef's selection. All 13 were fresh, clean, and briny in the best way. Next up: the Spanish octopus, and honestly... top five octopus dish we've had. Cooked perfectly -- tender, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture. The salsa macha added just the right amount of heat, and the marcona almonds brought a great crunch with the cilantro, lime, and mint brightening everything up. What a beautifully composed dish. We finished with the Halibut and Lady peas. The Halibut was topped with lobster and served with a lobster butter sauce, chives, and capers. Rich, buttery, flaky, and perfectly cooked. The lady peas (fava beans, asparagus, and a generous mound of blue crab) were another standout. So much flavor, but everything complemented each other instead of competing.

This time in particular we ordered the whole lobster and was offered to have it taken out of the shell for us. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. When we got the lobster we got a full tail but one claw and no knuckles. When we addressed with the server, she argued with us that that's how a lobster is and that there could be more meat hidden on the plate. It felt like she thought we were there to just get more food by saying "so what do you want, more meat" but if we had it in the shell we would have received our full portion. The manager on duty tried to make it up to us by comping the lobster but it was more than that. After going back and forth with the server we just wanted the check to leave. The manager on duty insisted to give us the lobster and take it home. The server wasn't very polite and argued with us about the lobster. I wish I remembered the servers name With that said, the amount of money we have spent there over the years, it's unfortunate that that will be our last time going to the Optimist.

    We had a private event at Corbus this weekend and had the most incredible time. Working directly…read morewith Kelly was so easy, she was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful. The bad weather left us with a change of plans last minute from being fully outdoor to fully indoor and she went above and beyond for us. She closed off the dining room to other patrons for the couple of hours during our event, greeted everyone, was handing out pizza, etc. All of the staff working (thank you so much April, Liz, and Eliza!) were so fantastic. I haven't even gotten to the food and drinks yet. It was phenomenal. Absolutely incredible. My mouths watering just typing this. We chose 4 pizzas for our event and would order every single one again. Everyone who came to the event couldn't stop talking about how good it was, how nice the inside was, and how much fun they had. And the pre-made bar menu (we didn't know this would be a thing!) was laid out so cute for everyone to choose off of and they were BEYOND delicious. Thank you thank you thank you everyone at Corbus for making our night spectacular, we will absolutely be returning!

    As a lover of Seven Lamps. Visually it didnt change at all. I think this cute little pizza…read morerestaurant is going to be something great when they figure out their identity. My girlfriend came for pizza. I believe she had a Margarita pizza maybe "beam me up Scotty" I'm not sure. I came for what I remembered to be seven lamps's old burger. Or at least something similar. My burger came with a Caesar salad which I love. I also enjoyed an old-fashioned. Our server was lovely and informative. However, my old-fashioned was yummy, but on the sweeter side. Next time, and I think there will be a next time, I will ask if they can make it less sweet. Also, the cherry was completely wrong. At least it wasn't good. I take my cherries very seriously in my old-fashioned. My burger was good and the Caesar salad was delicious. However, it just didn't hit the way that I had hoped. The restaurant was also out of Tabasco. They gave me a buffalo sauce which in my opinion was gross. I hope this restaurant finds its bold audacious way of telling the neighborhood who they are and what they offer. I feel like they're trying to figure out what the neighborhood wants. I'll give it a few months and come back. I work in the area. I was Just disappointed by the lack of WOW.

    On a beautiful early summer day with warm sunshine and gentle breezes, it was a pleasure to sit at…read moreone of the outside patio tables, overlooking the colorful flower garden and the lazy river -with food and service that lived up to this restaurant's positive reputation and its 5 star reviews. Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

    Visited this place again after two years to celebrate my wife's birthday. As always, we received a…read morewarm welcome, and our waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive. He took the time to walk us through the entire menu and explain the different options. For starters, we tried the smoked salmon and watermelon salad. The watermelon salad was absolutely delicious and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For our entrées, we ordered the pork chop, lamb, and rabbit ravioli. Compared with our previous visit, however, I felt the overall quality of the entrées had gone down a little. The lamb, in particular, was not as good as we expected. That said, the portion sizes were generous, and we still enjoyed our meal and the overall experience. A lovely place with excellent service, but based on the food this time, I'm giving it 4 stars.
