    Located within the Omni Hotel in downtown Atlanta. We made a reservation since it was a busy week at the hotel, but it didn’t seem necessary. The restaurant is surrounded by windows with views of the city and Centennial Olympic Park. Dinner prices were reasonable and portions were satisfactory. Our meals choices were both flavorful and filling. Our waiter was friendly and attentive.

    2 caveats. One is that it’s a hotel restaurant. Two is that today was a large crowd due to SEC championship game and American epilepsy society convention.

    That being said, awful experience. No indication was given that the restaurant would not be offering the regular menu and instead would be buffet style. The buffet was low effort and business convention lunch style. Flavorless and overcooked salmon pieces, boiled rubbery chicken, cold corn on the cob, “Korean” style ribs that had 0 Korean characteristics. I saw people making burgers and chicken sandwiches at the grill and asked if I could order one and was told that “only people in the hallway can order those”.

    Also attached is a photo of the $20 old fashioned I ordered, which looks like something that someone half drank at a cash bar at a small wedding. It should not have cost any money, and lucky this was a business dinner but it was embarrassing nonetheless. It took me 30 minutes into dinner just to get this ordered because of how busy the waitress was.

    Overall, it was very clear from today and from previous reviews that this restaurant does not have confidence in staffing and executing a full service dinner program when there is any hint of a crowd, and their business solution is to offer a low effort buffet that did not have any southern comfort food elements to it at all. The Omni hotel should be embarrassed that this is happening in their premises. Best part is that they automatically add tip to the bill even though you essentially receive no service aside from clearing used plates and getting a drink ordered and delivered every 20-30 minutes.

    The restaurant seems to be connected to a hotel and coming from certain entrances it's a bit hard to find as it's tucked in all the way to the right side of the building. We ordered Fried Green Tomatoes, Grits & Shrimp, Lobster Mac N Cheese, and a Samlmon dish. I was disappointed by the mac n cheese as the lobster was awesome yet the mac n cheese was quite dry as if before the waiter brought the food to the table it had stayed out for a couple minutes.

    We came to have dinner before the Beyonce concert on July 11, 2025 and had a great time. We ended up meeting someone else going to the concert sitting at another table so we had a nice chat with a nice environment. Staff was super friendly and made the night better.

    I was excited about this place based on the reviews but we had a very different experience. The Brussels sprouts and fried green tomatoes were excellent but that’s the only positive thing I have to say. We ordered the “special” cowboy ribeye medium rare and it came out medium well, not that our server stopped by to see how our food was. It took us forever to stop somebody else to get a knife to even eat it. At $85, huge disappointment. The other meals were ok. After dinner we stopped by the bar and the bartenders hardly acknowledged us when they did, weren’t friendly. We definitely do not recommend and will not be back.

    Great atmosphere and my waiter was friendly.

    I ordered the fried chicken thigh, it was mostly batter and was not fully cooked. The macaroni and cheese was moreso macaroni in milk. However the greens were tasty, savory and sweet.

    A picture is with a thousand words so dropping one here for your reference.
