The Cafe & Bar

This high-end restaurant is located inside of the Waldorf Astoria and is stunningly well-apportioned from the moment you walk in. The entirety of your surroundings in this opulent building are designed and arranged to be visually appealing, classy and unique. The staff is very professional, formal yet friendly, efficient and attentive. Our server was absolutely excellent and made us feel right at home by describing the menu items, providing interesting bits of conversation and really being present with us, positively contributing to our experience. The prices are about what you would expect from any Atlanta high-end restaurant, however, the food is anything but. There was a fantastic selection of top shelf cocktails and quality wines. I recommend an old-fashioned made with Angel's Envy (or two). First they bring out the bread, the focaccia was delicious, but what really stole the show were the bite-sized, pimento cheese filled rolls. For starters, we had the corn bisque which was perfectly seasoned and had sauteed shrimp with excellent flavor. For the main course, we ordered the shareable rack of venison cooked medium rare. It came out cooked perfectly with crispy, roasted brussel sprouts, all of which was so good, I may have forgotten to chew. We also split a plate of beef poutine, which was probably fantastic, But trying to follow that venison is a tall task. They have excellent premium coffee drinks as well, my two lattes were very high quality. I am not a fan of tarts, but this one seemed to be high quality, and my dinner companion ate it right up. So overall, everything was very high quality and extremely satisfying. The menu options were unique and creative and prepared expertly. I highly recommend this restaurant. Visited 12/8/2023 8pm.

Caution: Make sure you don't book a reservation to close to 3 pm, the kitchen closes down at that time. I'm not sure why Open Table table has dining reservation times available at that time. Thankfully, they allow me to place my order anyway and just sent me at the bar which was not as nice as the main dining room, but comfortable enough. You're looking for a delicious Atlanta brunch, but you're not wanting to deal with the grass walls, hookah, or music so loud you can't hear yourself think (or anybody else for that matter)? Tired of being charged double for less than stellar service and mediocre food? Then Brassica is here to rescue you and whisk you away to culinary relief! Drinks are $20, but they're actually expertly crafted cocktails presented beautifully and not just sugar water mixed with Hennessy.

We had a great seat with a view while the sun set! Our server Sabah was friendly, gracious and knowledgeable. Started with the watermelon salad. Topped with sea salt, it was excellent and refreshing. The entrees were the grouper and the fowl dish and they were delicious! Paired mine with a red wine selection recommended by my server. Will definitely be back. Only critique is more salt and a spicy dish on the menu.

I came in to celebrate my birthday with Afternoon Tea and we were incredibly pleased with the whole experience. There was great variety and every bite was delicious with its own fun complexities. The service was phenomenal. Jenna went above and beyond, providing impeccable friendly, warm service throughout our stay.

My husband & I love this place from the valet guy from New York.can’t remember his name to Trevor& the others the bartender to the Jessy the hostess we are always so happy to spend time here. We love the vibe and food & it’s now our favorite spot! Valet recommended the corn chowder it’s incredible btw. Extremely laid back but classy and low key! Definitely see celebs here as well but we come for the vibe food & cocktails. We had brunch here too and that was also great!

This was exactly the type of overall excellence that you’d expect from a restaurant at a Waldorf Astoria. The food was fabulous. The corn bisque was amongst the best soup I’ve ever had. The service, provided by Cooper, was magnificent. He treated us as long-term standing customers even though he knew we were in town just for a day. I highly recommend this for a high-end, relaxing dining option.

We had reservations for brunch at 11 a.m. We sat at the bar. I ordered a Sidecar cocktail and a Roman Punch cocktail. They were both good and on the sweeter side. The orange colored cocktail in the photo is a Boulevardier. It was an 8/10. We ate the Citrus Ricotta Pancakes. I give them a 9/10 because they reminded me of a freshly baked lemon pound cake when you eat them with the lemon curd that they come with. We also ordered Rockefeller oysters that I rate a 7/10. They were good but not the best that I have had. I love the details on the glassware and silverware. The bartender was attentive and engaging. Everyone sitting at the bar was also friendly and engaging. We visited on Dec. 18th, so the lobby area was decorated with beautiful Christmas decorations. There are several different areas to take beautiful photos.
