    Salmon.
    Quyen W.

    Out of towner, so take my review as is. Seating in a Thursday at 5:45 was no effort. I made a reservation for 5 which was not needed. The staff are awesome. Service was excellent but the place stayed about 50% full the time we were there. I like the ambiance. It's open, modern, seats can be a bit tight. I opened for a happy hour bourbon based drink which was a tall, iced and light on the bourbon (4/5). I then ordered the bourbon salmon on rice for the main course. It was decent (4/5). The dish was swimming in a sweet teriyaki. It seems kinda strange to scoop up rice and salmon, then drain out extra sauce. Dinner mates had the burger and I was a bit envious. They seemed to really like it. Would I return? Well... they are lots of places to try in Atlanta, but I'll keep it in my list of possibilities.

    Yakitori - tofu, sweet potato, mushroom, chicken
    Archeta R.

    I had been hearing about this place for so long and was so excited to try it. The ambiance inside is very cute - honestly would be a great date spot as it's not too loud and the tables are spread nicely. The food itself was superb. We started with yakitori skewers - I'm vegetarian so I had the sweet potato, tofu, and mushroom. Oh my god the mushroom ones are something I dream about! So delicious. I absolutely loved the other two as well, but the mushroom was really the standout here (which is saying a lot coming from me because I rarely prefer mushrooms). For my main I had the coconut lime tofu. This was tasty and well made. I do wish this tofu had a little more marinade/seasoning to it as it was just a fried tofu atop the curry, but the tofu was really well made, and the curry itself was flavorful and surprisingly light. I didn't try any cocktails this time, but I'm itching to come back to do so! Love this spot and would absolutely recommend :)

    Whiskey bird is always delicious!! The food is so unique- you can't get food like this anywhere else in the city! It's in such a great part of Morningside/Virginia Highland making it the perfect addition to your visit to the area. They have a great brunch, dinner and even just a great spot for drinks. The patio outside is also super cute once the weather is nice! Theres multiple free parking lots around and street parking.

    Avocado Toast
    Lou E.

    Amazing. Had our first dining experience on a Sunday Brunch and it was fantastic. There were seven of us in our party and it was a hit with all. Most ordered something different. We had the Avocado Toast and the Hong Kong Fried Chicken and Waffle. A couple of our friends hand the Bao Benedict. The Bubble Waffle was a first for us. It was beautiful and the best waffle we ever tasted. The fried chicken was very good also (wish it didn't have a garlic taste). Although we would get it again. The Avocado Toast was the best looking dish on the table. The grilled toast was topped with smashed avocados and then topped with radishes and an everything bagel seasoning. Tasty. The Bao Benedict looked amazing. And got great compliments. Service was outstanding. Prices were reasonable. Whiskey Bird took our reservation for eleven...thank goodness. Highly recommend and will definitely return

    Came here for happy hour with coworkers and I thoroughly enjoyed! All prices were reasonable and the drinks were very tasty. All of the food was delicious. Great service and we sat on the outdoor patio in the back. It was perfect on the day we went because the weather was nice.

    Happy Hour
    Marian D.

    There happy hour is nice. Everything was super yummy, drinks included. This was a good stop for the happy hour but it wasn't as lively as I've heard it to be. We wanted to stop by to be social but it was a fairly mild crowd. Puppies are allowed on the patio and the staff really make your doggie feel welcomed.

    Decided to catch happy hour with friends after work and I'm so glad my friend selected this place! The quality of service was good and the quality of food and drink drinks were even better! This is the perfect spot for anything: a date night, girls night, or happy hour with some friends or coworkers after work. Though it gives more of a mature vibe, I did see families there, and I do believe that there are items on the menu in which kids will also enjoy. The happy hour does end at 6 PM so be sure you catch it before then, honestly the prices are well worth it! I believe they have a great selection of good quality food and drinks on the menu. I would even go back to this place outside of happy hour because I definitely want to try more items on the menu. As far as parking, there is a lot across the street that provides free parking. I was able to park there at ease and it was in such close proximity of the restaurant. Looking forward to going back to this place with more friends!

    Came here when we stayed downtown for a night. The inside was way more casual than I expected. We kind of came towards the end of the night, but we still had enough time to order from the kitchen. The mixed drinks I had were so so. I wasn't overly impressed with them, but let me tell you how much I loved their yakitori skewers. They were AMAZING AMAZING.! Full of flavor and cooked just right. We tried chicken meatballs, sweet potato, chicken, tofu... They were all good. I wish more places had this type of menu option. They are so healthy, and it's nice to be able to try a bunch of variety without feeling crazy stuffed. Overall, I really like their menu, they have a nice variety with some interesting dishes like Japanese street fries. Tuna goyza tacos, spiced cauliflower, sweet potato burger. I got there tuna Poké bowl, which was decent, but definitely did not match up to the skewers. Service was OK, maybe because we were there towards the end of the night and they are trying to get ready to close up shop. I heard they have a really great branch and I'd love to try it sometime. Again, if you come here, please get the skewers. They reminded me of a place we went to in LA. Really on point. This in itself was enough to bring me back!

    Cute fusion restaurant (perfect for a chill date night)! We got seated right away on a Friday night and service was extremely quick. The food feels modern and American, while I honestly prefer a more authentic style. We ordered the thai steak and noodle salad and poke bowl. The steak (medium rare) was perfectly cooked, but wish there was more for a perfect steak to noodle salad ratio. Next time, I hope to try the sides

    The service was great from the time you walked in! Greeted at the door, sat promptly after arriving early, and Wisdom was a great waiter. She offered advice on the menu, made suggestions, and was extremely pleasant. The food was good for brunch as well with the smash burger and BLT. I would say the potatoes with the burger were on the saltier side and a little disappointed they didnt have yellow mustard. Outside of that go check them out and ask for Wisdom!

    I first went to this place after hearing about this through my social media. The ambiance inside is very modern and sleek. It was not too crowded and not too loud either. I first came here during happy hour and got to try a selection of different foods. I loved the Asian fusion concept and it was fun to see their spin on foods. I got the queso + wonton chips, peruvian chicken gyoza tacos, crispy rice, a drink (I forgot which one), and the Korean BBQ tofu. It is moderately priced. Service was good and food didn't take too long to come out. I came back recently for a friend's birthday and had such an excellent server! We got the okonomiyaki fries to share and I got the thai steak and noodle salad. We sat outside which was great since one of my friends could bring her dog. They also allowed us to bring a cake. We actually stayed a bit beyond closing hour but they were very gracious and didn't feel like they were trying to kick us out. Overall, would recommend this place to try if visiting Atlanta !

    Great food and even better service. Everything on the menu has been delicious and high quality.

    Came here for a birthday brunch and we were impressed! There was parking across the street and it's nestled in an almost small town feel part of Atlanta. I got the Bloody Mary it was perfect and my husband had the bloody Maria which was Jalapeño tequila and he said it was fantastic. Things to order are the burritos- HUGE! The side salad has this amazing vinaigrette to it. Would recommend splitting with someone or taking another half home for a different meal of the day. The tuna toast isn't very brunch style but divine. It has two sauces on top and the look of it is so pretty.

She had a solution ready before I even had to say a word which, to me, is the epitome of great customer service. We sampled a mix of old favorites and new bites: -Salmon Chips: A classic for a reason! It's been a staple here for years and is still just as good as I remembered. -Sweet Chili Shrimp & Chicken Empanadas: Both were delicious and highly recommended. -Mussels: These were just okay for me, but the focaccia bread served alongside them was incredibly tasty. -The Strawberry Letter Cocktail: A absolute must-try! It is delicious, but fair warning--you will definitely feel it after just one, lol! To top it all off, they brought out a birthday card signed by both of my servers and their coworkers, along with a birthday cupcake! It was such a thoughtful, personalized touch that made the dining experience feel even more special. Two Urban Licks remains a wonderful, staple on the Atlanta Beltline.

We then moved into the dining area where we had four tables next to each other. The lounge area has festive decor and our server did a great job taking care of my group before we arrived. The dining area has a more subdued decor. There were other groups celebrating and we still felt like we had a room to ourselves. Once seated, service was also excellent. They had several staff dedicated to us. Water, apps and wine service was quick and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious. I had many compliments on both the food and wine. For starters we had Tuna Tartare Chips and greens (salad). Both were excellent. For mains we had the salmon and roast chicken. Brussels sprouts and whipped potatoes for sides. Finally cheesecake bites for dessert. We served their Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir with the meal. Everything went perfectly. Just the right amount of food and wine. (7 bottles for our 20). Their contract is written in a way that makes you think you might be rushed. But that was not the case in practice. We had plenty of time to meet and greet at the lounge before being seated. And plenty of time at the tables. We felt we received an excellent value for our dollar. Highly recommended for a special event.

    I'd been seeing Staplehouse all over Instagram and hearing about their Michelin Guide recognition,…read moreso I was excited to finally give it a try. As somebody who genuinely loves food and especially Italian sandwiches, I ordered the Italian Grinder for pickup. Now, a little context. I'm a newer parent, and that day I was dressed casually sweats, hoodie, hat, just running around handling life. Nothing crazy. I only mention that because when I went in to pick up my order, the interaction left me uncomfortable. Two employees greeted me, and after I confirmed my name for the pickup, one of them held onto the bag tightly and asked me again if I was sure the order was mine, joking about making sure I wasn't stealing it. I laughed it off in the moment, but honestly, I couldn't fully tell if it was meant as a joke or not. And to be fair, I don't want to assume malicious intent or act like I know what was in that person's heart. But I also have to be honest about how it felt. I genuinely don't believe that same joke or comment would've been made to somebody who looked less "threatening," older, or dressed differently than me. Whether intentional or unconscious, moments like that stick with people. I'm a father, a dancer, a creative, and somebody who tries to greet people warmly and respectfully wherever I go. So walking out of there, I just felt a little judged instead of welcomed. The sandwich itself? Solid. Definitely good food. I'd give the grinder a 4 out of 5. But food is also tied to experience, and unfortunately the interaction took away from it for me. I don't think I'll be going back, but I do hope this feedback is received with understanding and not defensiveness, because perception and hospitality matter too.
