Poolside Mediterranean eatery with mezze, kebabs, and seafood
"With vibrant green walls behind the bar and a poolside patio, Elektra in O4W’s Forth hotel looks like it could be the setting of a White Lotus episode. And with a few big round tables that’ll seat your own cast and crew, the Mediterranean restaurant is also great for a long dinner. One where time is measured by complimentary rounds of warm pita and next-day priorities fade away after a taste of your friend’s cinnamon-infused cocktail turns into three orders of your own. Share delicious family-style bowls of pilaf, spicy falafel, and a few perfectly charred kebabs with your group. If the conversation spills over past dessert, take the party to the Moonlight rooftop bar." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Nothing says romance like bonding over who gets the last swipe of hummus. So if you're aiming for that lovey-dovey, share-your-food meal, the mezze platter with bottomless pita and herby kebabs are must-orders at Elektra in O4W’s Forth Hotel. And the cinnamon-infused Brighten Garden is a smooth, sweet cocktail that warrants a few encores. In the summer, the poolside patio feels like a chic Mediterranean escape, while on chilly evenings, heat lamps keep things warm and inviting. Plus, you can extend your night on the rooftop bar, Moonlight." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Elektra at the Forth Hotel serves breakfast every day, beginning at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on the weekends. The olive oil pancakes topped with orange labneh, saffron whipped butter, and apples in burnt honey are a must-order. Turkish eggs in garlic yogurt, classic shakshuka with poached eggs, and a spinach and feta omelet are also available. Don’t skip the pastries with coffee — the croissants are well done here." - Lia Picard
"Dining poolside is something we don’t get to do very often in Atlanta, especially in the winter. But Elektra, inside the Forth Hotel in O4W, changes that—sort of. The Mediterranean restaurant has a patio that overlooks the hotel pool. And when temperatures dip under 60 and it’s too cold to rock a bathing suit, heaters overhead make it easy to pretend the sunrays are beaming. All thoughts of winter blues vanish while you nibble on small plates like buttery mussels and the hard-to-put-down fried arnabeet. And then shareable entrees like a flaky whole branzino with tahini may fully plop you into a waterfront retreat daydream." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
"Between the poolside dining and the patio full of beige sun umbrellas, it’s easy to lose yourself in Elektra’s resort vibes. Before you know it, you’ve got a taste for a colada with one of those pineapple wedges. The O4W Mediterranean spot in the Forth Hotel does breakfast every morning, starting at 7am and the full bar is open. We fully support sipping a mimosa, especially when paired with their amazingly fluffy labneh and olive oil pancakes or the shakshuka with a mound of feta cheese." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
