Gocha's Tapas Bar

Me and my wife enjoyed our evening out. Z our waitress was super sweet and helpful. She gave us really good suggestions and we were happy to go with her suggestions. The music wasn’t too loud so you can still hold a conversation. We live 5 minutes away and only ever done take out. We are happy we actually sat down to enjoy the atmosphere. We will be back frequently from now on!

A1 aka Anthony was exceptional. He was also the bartender. The drinks were amazing. I asked for a Kentucy Mule with Basil Hayden and he delivered. It was one of the best I've had. He was very personable and kept checking on us to make sure we didn't need anything. The atmosphere and the music made the restaurant very inviting. The food was good. We tried the lobster and salmon bites. The salmon bites were a 10. We will be back to send A1.

Love this place. Great music, great staff, great vibes.The menu is extensive, the prices are more than fair and portions are perfect and the food is fantastic.Shout out to our servers Eric and Mimi for really making our day. I ordered the Salman Breakfast Croissant with a side of sweet potato fries and it was an amazing choice.There truly was nothing left on my plate. My partner ordered the fish and grits and what a show stopper! The grits were truly the star and the fish paired perfectly! Also, Love the fact they had a live DJ keeping the crowd swaying to some great tunes. This is definitely the go-to Sunday brunch spot. We will be back.

We had a great experience today! We went at lunch time and we able to be sat immediately. Our server, Tabitha. Did a phenomenal job and knew the menu very well. She also made great suggestions for food with some enhancements, so make sure to ask for her when you come in to dine. I will definitely be back again.

Came for a late lunch on my way to an event. The pictures of the food on the website peaked my interest. After the I ordered and the food arrived at the table, I was not disappointed. I started with the honey chili oil salmon bites. They were tender bites, perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and delicious. The next thing I got was the lobster grilled cheese. Their lobster took is Maine style (mayo based) instead of the CT style (hot butter). I don't do mayo due to raw egg, so opted for the grilled cheese version. It had a Cajun spice to it and the bread was perfectly toasted and crisp and the cheese evenly melted. I got the side salad instead of fries. The ranch was a little thin, but still good. As it was then after 5, I got the shrimply Devine bruchetta from the Happy Hour menu. 3 large plump shrimp on a toasted house made crostini with a drizzle of basalmic and a side of marinated tomatoes. It was exquisite. I also got a glass of the red blend wine, after they were out of Moscato. Staff was friendly, water refilled often. Only issue was I sat on the patio and the table tip was dirty and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a couple turn overs. You could see the glass rings from previous patrons that hadn't been wiped up and some food stains. Other than that, would definitely go again when in the area. The patio was quiet. From time to time you could hear a large group inside watching football get really loud.

Let me tell you!! Tab was so dope. I absolutely love her energy, she was knowledgeable of the food, drink recommendations was on on point (bartender did her thing), and her personality was out of this world! I'll definitely come back , I need Tabs schedule😊

What an experience! I was invited to a birthday brunch and had an amazing time! The restaurant is new, clean, and stylish. Our waitress Tabitha was amazing. Friendly, and just a great vibe all around. She was so right about the crab cakes. Small but super delicious. I will surely be back!

It was a pleasure dining at Gocha’s Tapas Bar. Great food, great music great crowd great staff. It has been on my list of celebrity places to visit once I saw her and her establishment on “Bold and Bougie” . I couldn’t wait to go here and it was everything I could’ve asked for and more.

Anyssa was great! Drinks & food 10 out of 10! I love coming here! Beautiful atmosphere & great music

Outstanding Service and Food and Vibe ! It's always like this for me that is why I KEEP coming back. Anyssa was my server and she was awesome and took great care of me. I tried the Lemon Ricotta pancakes they were delicious! Please don't sleep on this spot. Try it and you can thank me later!

Horrible experience. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. What a waste of money. We were actually excited to try this place based on the pictures of the food. All I can say is they hired an AMAZING photographer because they made these really sad plates seem gorgeous. The fried green tomatos were mushy inside and out. The texture was like paste. The pathetically small portion of salmon bites - literally a half cup of mostly edible fish - was barely heated. It's like they thawed the fish and tossed it in sauce but just left it under a heat lamp to warm. Tepid at best. And THE WORST offender - the lobster rolls. The filling tasted more like tuna salad from a grocery store. There was maybe 3 tiny pieces of what could have been lobster, but I'm more convinced it was previously frozen shrimp. The bread was soggy and the whole thing managed to just taste like vinegar. SO GROSS. This place uses fancy words for subpar food. And it really is a shame. We were so hopeful.

From the moment we sat down, Eli made our entire dining experience exceptional. He was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu offering great recommendations that did not disappoint. Every dish came out perfectly timed, and Eli checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. His positive energy truly elevated our meal and made us feel like valued guests. If you're visiting Gocha's, ask for Eli he's the kind of server who turns a good meal into a memorable experience.

ZERO STARS. My friends wanted to meet here while I was in Atlanta for work so I decided to go. I was sadly disappointed. Not one thing looked good on this menu. Fancy words do not make the food fancy, NONE of the photos that come from the owner match the photos that we received and what other people are posting. I decided to take the easiest route and choose breakfast, so I received the lemon ricotta pancakes, I don't even like pancakes but i'm like hmmmm ricotta and lemon, lemme try that. What a sad disappointment for $15.99 now let me remind you this is just for the two pancakes, they were not some big ass pancakes they were a little bit bigger than maybe what you and I would make at home but my gawd for $15.99. I had to add on a side of home fries, scram egg and bacon and that was an extra $15 too. Thats not even all. That ricotta was not melted into the batter as you could see massive globs in the pancake and that lemon....well let's just say they added the artificial lemon flavor and added some zest for garnish. But wait there's MORE! Y'all see that little 2oz soufflé cup with syrup??? That was the best thing on the menu and it's probably the most easiest thing they made but I needed another one for my pancake and they told me they would charge me another .25 for syrup. The owner should stop focusing on making it look flashy in this place and worry about quality and financials of how to operate a restaurant but BAY BAY....... That ain't cutting it. It's a no for me dawg.

This is an absolute joke. They delivered little to nothing! I paid over $20 for some items in containers that weren't even half way full. Smh. My first and LAST time ordering from here. Do better. Spent my hard earned money for this establishment to give me a portion of each item. Sick.

Me and my guest had a lovely meal at Gocha's. The server was professional, friendly and gave us some good advice regarding the food. I would come back. One thing I can't recommend is their happy hour taco for $4. It was so small and not good deal but tasty.

Love this place. Great music, great staff, great vibes. The menu is extensive, the prices are more than fair and portions are perfect and the food is fantastic. Shout out to our servers Eric and Mimi for really making our day. I ordered the Salman Breakfast Croissant with a side of sweet potato fries and it was an amazing choice. There truly was nothing left on my plate. My partner ordered the fish and grits and what a show stopper! The grits were truly the star and the fish paired perfectly! Also, Love the fact they had a live DJ keeping the crowd swaying to some great tunes. This is definitely the go-to Sunday brunch spot. We will be back.

My service was great. My founder was crispy cooked just right and fries. My fried green tomatoes were too salty. The ambiance is beautiful!!! First impression is everything this is why Gocha's Tapas Bar gets a four out of five stars. Lori could've apologized for the inconvenience and told me she was going to replace the salty fried green tomatoes instead of being rude!! ‍ Not proper business communication etiquette ‍ ‍ Pre Lori the manager said the batter was the same for the entire day, it must be my personal preference cause they haven't had any complaints all day. Lori took the salty ones. I communicated to her please tell your cook to make sure to change out that batter if not they'll always be Too Salty. After I told my server (Mimi) I was going to do a review of the bar. Lori came to check on my table over three times. I assuming she realize how rude she was being with me or maybe she was trying to recover from getting a bad review. Then as I was getting ready to leave Lori brung a new batch of fried green tomatoes. Now... that batch was a major success!

A friend of mine was celebrating his birthday and chose to have brunch at Gocha's. As a dedicated Yelper, I naturally started browsing photos and reviews ahead of time--it's just what I do. I'm a big foodie and a fan of anything with a touch of sophistication, and this place definitely delivered. I was genuinely impressed by the variety on the menu, the beautiful decor, and most importantly, the flavor of the food. Everything felt like it was done with care and intention. Easily an A+ experience. As someone raised in Atlanta, I've been to plenty of brunch spots around the city, but I often find that many miss the mark when it comes to atmosphere and presentation. Gocha's really stood out. It had a polished, elevated vibe, and our server, Tabitha, was incredibly kind and attentive. I snapped a few photos of the dishes at our table. Everyone ordered something different, and not only was the food delicious, but it was also plated beautifully. You can tell the owner has a great eye for detail--and that makes all the difference.

Z did an amazing job today! The service was superb, very knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly accommodating with my food allergies. I'll definitely be coming back again.

One day I decided to try this place out. I love the outside patio area that they have. The inside was pretty cute as well. I ordered online for a pick up. Next time I'll do a dine in as well. I ordered a lobster roll and some wings. I love spicy foods so you know I had to test the hot wings out. They were both a hit!! Now, the lobster roll was a pretty small serving. Flavorful but a small portion. The wings are great, I do wish they were fried a little longer. Other than that I loved my options. The young lady at the door was very sweet and welcoming.

Nice indoor/outdoor eating space. Came to grab a drink and watch half on MNF. Staff is friendly and funny! Everyone is kind. I have to come back to grab eats before the kitchen closes next time. Beautiful ambiance. Local romance. Seating for 1-4 best options

Cons: The music is way too loud here!!! It's so disturbing, I couldn't hear my thoughts. I had such a headache dining here. It's like going to a club. I wasn't trying to go to the club at 7pm Friday night, I literally just wanted some good food in a nice atmosphere. The mocktails are overpriced at $10, imho not worth it. Pros: the food was delicious! Yes, they are definitely doing a good job with offering a nice variety of great tasting entrees, which I find it very hard to find really good tasting food in Atlanta. I tried several items: -Crispy Chicken Wings with lemon pepper honey hot sauce (10 out of 10) -Shrimply Divine Bruschetta (10 out of 10) -Shrimpin' Ain't Easy (10 out of 10) -Truffle Fries (10 out of 10) -Spinach & Crab Dip Hooray! (7 out of 10) to difficult to scoop Heads-up: the food's good but it ain't cheap. A 20% tip is automatically included on your bill if you spend $75 or more.

So let me tell you, this place was such a vibe! It's located in the Publix plaza close to West Lake High School. This was my first time at this location. Anyway, the moment I stepped out of my car I started dancing in the parking lot because they had a dj on the patio playing some major tunes! I believe they were hosting a political event. Small world- I actually taught her son in middle school! Anyway, we entered the restaurant and we were warmly greeted by Cornelius. He took us to our seats and showed us where to scan for the menus. I will say the music in the restaurant was very different from the music on the patio and Cornelius noticed that we were no longer dancing, so he made it his mission to have the same music on the inside. Which automatically gave him extra cool points in my book! We came here to celebrate my sister's birthday so my sister and I started off with martinis. My mom stuck to water. For the appetizer we started off with the Smokin' Salmon Sensation which was sensational! After that we were ready to order! Our waitress for the night was also working the bar, which is pretty difficult to do. Thankfully, they have a great system and Cornelius jumped in to support. Entrees: Steak Skewer Sensation , Lobster Mac Attack , Mushroom Mavens , and the Whole Snapper Fish. From start to finish, Gocha's Tapas Bar was a 10/10. Vibe. Decor. Food. Service. I always tell waiters/waitresses that my mom is a tough cookie. So if she gives you a stamp of approval, it was top tier. I will definitely be returning!

I love stopping by Gocha's Tapas Bar! I had some time before an event, and I was hungry. It was the tail end of brunch, but it was PACKED in there! They have the best playlist, I was loving the vibes and it was great and quick service. I had the lobster grilled cheese and although it was a super large portion (and I didn't think I would be able to eat it) I DEMOLISHED it because it was that good! I absolutely loved my server and the food was great per usual.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Gocha's Tapas Bar & our server, Mimi, was exceptional! Definitely plan on returning.

Sooooo me and my book girlies had an opportunity to come to GTB for a fun night of discussion, great food, drinks, and lots of laughter! We had a reservation and was seated right away. Our waiter, Anthony was the truth! I go to GBB alot and the concept is the same just more dinner options and more sexier! Lol. I ordered off the HH menu to start: drink Mama's Drink-Bacardi Mango Rum, with spicy mango syrup, tajin rim $7, Fried Green Tomatoes- Crispy fried green tomatoes drizzled with a spicy remoulade sauce. $7 OVERPRICED (only 2); Shrimply Divine Bruschetta*Bruschetta topped with marinated shrimp and fresh herbs on baguette bread, finished with fresh basil leaves and drizzled with balsamic reduction.$10 WE SHARED ALL THIS! For my entree, I ordered Fish & Fries (sweet potato fries) *Crispy fish accompanied by golden french fries. A classic duo that satisfies with every bite.$17.95. The food was great as far as flavor and the vibes was EVERYTHING! On Friday nights, the play R&B bingo. So whatever song they play, if its on your bingo card mark it off and if you get bingo, you get a drink! GTB is great! Try it out yall. SYOY!

Anthony was amazing! The food and ambiance were great! We came in for a work lunch and everything was perfect! My boss is from out of town and he was impressed. We will be back!

Food Ambience Our server Eli was awesome. It's great to have good food and great service just a few miles from home.

This is a super cute spot. The decor is lovely, has a wonderful aesthetic. The young lady who sat and served me was super cute and very sweet. She recommended the honey hot wings with lemon pepper and they did not disappoint. I had those with a side salad and the shrimp and crab dip as an appetizer. You get 6 wings and the dip was really good. I also tried the Been a Long Day drink, a play on a Long Island. It wasn't that strong but tasted good. They have happy hour all day as well.

I have a love hate relationship with some restaurants these days. LOVE: The food at Gocha's is good, I haven't had a dish that was terrible. This time I had the lobster Mac and Cheese, the lobster was over cooked just a tinge but the dish was still really good. Ni was our server and she was on point (as always, we've visited previously and she has been our most of the time) I love the look and feel of Gocha's. It's spacious and kinda private if you sit along the wall. They have outdoor seating as well. HATE Why does the music have to be so dang loud.. sheesh. We gotta figure out that happy medium. But.. I'll be back lol.

My friend and I came in Saturday and had an 11:00 reservation. There were maybe 2-3 others there, as we left ~1:20, it started to fill up some. The food, service, & music were great! We ordered the Crunchtastic French toast, delicious! And the seafood omelette, which was chef's kiss. The omelette was seasoned well and had plenty of seafood. I'd recommend they spread the seafood throughout the omelette. On my end, I had the crab meat crumbles on top. On the other end, my friend had shrimp in her bites. The lobster must've been in the middle. We didn't get that far. lol. I look forward to finishing it later for sure. The veggies inside were good also. The potatoes could've cooked a little longer; they were still a tad hard. This may sound odd, but the wheat toast was good, even without the peach jam, which taste like peach cobbler filling. The toast quality and the salted butter they put on there is quite tasty. ‍ I didn't have drinks, but will next time! They have happy hour every day, all day. Sooo, yeah, I'll be back for a drink lol. Eric was a fabulous server! He was attentive and gave great recommendations. Ask for him! The restaurant is beautiful and they have a nice covered patio. The manager came by to check on us. All the staff were friendly. I can't wait to return for lunch & dinner!

Had a fabulous time at the PVAMU vs Alabama State SWAc Football game watch party! The patio was the perfect space to gather...two TVs, lots of seating. The vibe was lit! Mel was our server and even though there was a big crowd and the kitchen was backed up, she took great care of us. The food was delicious! We had the shrimp ceviche, salmon flat bread and wings...loved the mango mama cocktail too! Can't wait to go back!

Appreciate the hospitality to help my daughter ring in her birthday today for lunch. Amazing server, Zee, I believe. Salmon salad was delicious and my friend enjoyed her veggie omelette. DJ played all the music to set the vibes. Not our first time to dine and certainly won't be our last. Thanks for being the spot to be in Sofu!

The server is a thief! On January 13, 2026, My line sister and I met here for dinner to celebrate Founders Day. Aside from the food service being slow, we had no other issues until a few days later when the charge was processed in my bank account. Our tab in total was $147.52 which included an automatic 20% gratuity of $23.03. I did not feel the service was worth an additional tip so I zeroed out the tip line, signed and left. When the transaction cleared my account, it was in the amount of $170.57. On Friday I went to the restaurant and spoke to the kitchen manager Deja who was very polite and shared concern about the fraudulent transaction. She pulled a copy of my receipt which was signed with a signature that resembled mine BUT on the tip line was not the 0 I wrote on the day of service but an extra $23.05 written in with the total of $170.57 written in on the total line. I immediately recognized that that was not my handwriting and let her know. She had me write a written statement and said she had spoke to the owner, Gocha, and someone would reach out to me that day or the next. By today, January 20, 2026, I had not heard anything so I went back to the restaurant. I spoke to another manager who made a call to Gocha to update him on the situation. When he came back he brought a picture of the statement I made and communicated to me that my writing had been compared to what was fasley wrote and it was concluded that it was "similar" to my hand writing. GET REAL!!! He then said they tried to reach out to me but couldn't reach me. As a place of business handling business it is my expectation that if you cannot reach someone you leave a voicemail or email. I received neither. The manager then tries to work the situation out by offering me HALF of the $23.05 out of his pocket, which I did not accept, because this is not about $23 BUT accountability of FRAUD! Needless to say I will not be supporting this business ever again and advise anyone who does to pay close attention to you account after visiting this establishment. Also from the reviews this is not the first time this has happened. PS: I only gave 1 star because I had to, in order to post. ZERO stars.

Zee was wonderful. She took care of us. Always attentive. Checked on us every few minutes. The food was wonderful. If you are in the Atlanta area i highly recommend this restaurant. The owner was onsite and working along her staff. Good Luck and much success.

Kezzi customer service was awesome! I highly recommend her for your bartending and serving needs.

Food and hospitality were very good. The food was delicious and we had large servings. I was not able to finish my meal so I am taking it to go. Must try!

Shinita was amazing !! Her customer service and attentiveness goes beyond standards to say the least. The food was great, tasty and cooked almost to perfection. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and soft/ tender on the inside with a lemon aoli sauce that made it an even more tasteful and enjoying appetizer! The grits, baby the grits were soft, fluffy, moist and tasteful. I will say one of the best grits I've had. 10/10!!! The drinks were drinkinggggg! The ambiance was enjoyable. The DJ was doing his thing with a great music mix!

My fav spot...I love Gocha's. The Food, service and atmosphere is 10/10. My friends and I enjoyed it!

First time here. Food is great, our server Anyssa is great, nice and friendly' definitely will be back.

This is located to the left of Publix. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center. Thursday night they host karaoke on the patio. The host and DJ had us rocking. The menu is pricey. The drinks and appetizers were good.

Me and my boyfriend had a cute little date night at Gocha's! We've been wanting to go and it's so close to home. The ambiance is a 10/10 especially with the Christmas decor. We had a Hennessy margarita and a prickly pear margarita. The Hennessy margarita was pretty good but I'd rate the prickly pear a 7/10. 1800 is used, you can taste the 1800 and for the price - I think a more pricey tequila should be used. The tapas are smaller than we've had at other tapa bars. The wings were spicyyyy. The salmon bites were okay and we had 2 orders of the crab & shrimp dip which was pretty good. We would defined come back. Our waitress was very attentive and I think we came before the late night rush. So nice to have a nice dinner with no hookah smoke.

Excellent service at the bar from Melinda. The food was delicious without being heavy and the ambiance is very cozy and welcoming. It's good for a group or intimate dining experience.

The Tapas Bar has a wonderful covered outdoor patio where we enjoyed a nice lunch. The fried green tomatoes continue to be superb. The Salmon chips on oversized potato chips were tasty as always, but the chips seemed a bit stale or, at least, not crunchy at all. The highlight of the lunch was the delightful server. Anisa is a very smart, very charismatic young lady who exhibited first class professionalism, kindness, and knowledge of the menu and its ingredients. She is a star and will go far in whatever vocation she chooses. Gocha's is fortunate to have her, and I will always look for her when I return. In fact, because of her, we will probably return more regularly.

Anyssa awesome server, excellent food... Very inviting atmosphere, clean are and staff accommodating.

We left Publix and got hungry so we stopped by to grab a bite. One of our favorite servers is A1. His personality, attention to detail and customer service is second to none. It's always a pleasure when he's at the restaurant. Please let him train others! He sets the standard!

Simple food with an elevated spin. Easy to find (located in the shopping plaza near Publix). Ample free parking in the lot. I dined with a friend on a Saturday at 4. The food was great and plentiful. I got the flounder and upgraded to truffle fries. I received 3 large pieces of fish. Unfortunately the truffle fries were just ok. Note: I have high expectations for truffle fries. The music was too loud for a Saturday afternoon. There were many guests in the restaurant yet the music's volume was so loud that my friend and I were literally yelling to hear each other. Maybe I'll visit again to taste the brunch menu.

I'm so glad I finally had the opportunity to try out one of Gocha's locations! Location: This location is in a big plaza with a grocery store and other business. They are located at the end so they may be hard to miss if you're not paying attention. Parking: They have a free parking in the front of the restaurant as it's a pretty big plaza. Food: I love a good brunch and Gochas did not disappoint. I opted for the Creole shrimp and grits and chefs kisses! Portions was plentiful and it was very flavorful. I also had the tequila lemon drop and the bartender did her thang with that as well. Ambiance: Darrius (one of our waiters) went above and beyond to accommodate our large party. Everyone was pleased with his knowledge of the menu and quickly brung out drinks, appetizer and food. They did have a live DJ on Saturday afternoon so that was welcome. They have a cute patio as well with a garden wall for the girlies who like photo ops. I would definitely come back!

Gocha's Tapas Bar I found a hidden Gem for BRUNCH. If you're a Seafood lovers make sure to add this to your list . My top 3: Fried Lobster Tail, that MF Seafood Omlette and the Lobster Grilled Cheese. The drinks were strong! Mine came out smoking and my bf loved his drink thanks to the bartender my girl Molly. The service was on point as well...my server Nita was so sweet and she held us down . Good drinks, great food, DJ was vibing out and the atmosphere was very welcoming! I enjoyed myself and I surely will be back. Shoutout to Lauri the owner thanks for having me FOOD - Lobtster & Waffle - Chicken & Waffles - Lamb Chops and Grits - Seafood Omelette - Lobster Grill Cheese .... Bomb 10/10 DRINKS - Hennessy Margarita (Hennessy, Fresh Strawberries, Lime Juice and Sparkling Soda) - Darkest Hour (Casamigos Repasado, Sour mix, Blue Curacao, Cranberry)

Soooooo good and great service! I had a great time and will definitely be back. Sha'e was amazing!

Great atmosphere fantastic Customer service Zee was off the chain. Everything was absolutely perfect. I probably would not get the calamari again but everything else I definitely want to try. Salad was great. The tempura vegetables are OK. This is my first time here.

Eli was awesome! Definitely will be back. My aunt said it was the best wheat toast she has ever had!

The service was great. We had a trainee and a waitress...they both were great. Sat outside during happy hour and enjoyed the quietness. Food was so good. Lamb chops cooked perfectly.

Love this place! The Karaoke and R&B Bingo nights are the best! The food, drinks, and service are amazing! I've have almost everything on the menu and it never disappoints! It's always hot, fresh, and expedient! The Happy Hour specials are great! Half price drinks ! Just an overall great vibe!!

Good food. Great service from Anyssa. Grits are really good. Nice vibe with music in the background as well

Great neighborhood spot! The food and service were both solid, making it a must-try. I had the pancakes, bacon, and grits--all were delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Great food, location and service. I wish cocktails could be served before noon for brunch.
