Reverence

A few years ago I stayed at the Epicurean hotel and dined at this restaurant. It was awful. They seem to have rebranded it since. Last week I came with a group. The food is marginally better but still below average. For the price point. My shoestring fries came out cold. The New York strip was not a great piece of meat. On the positive, they have free ballet and the service is kind and responsive. They do have a large selection of drinks.

Epicurean Midtown experience was Outstanding!!! Beginning with the Valet parking Adrian was personable and knowledgeable about the area including local eateries. I had the pleasure to be checked in by FAYE!!! She made my stay extra special with her world class service. She answered all my questions and anticipated others with attention to detail.. If only I could receive this type of World Class service at every hotel stay!!! They have an outdoor pool “Aerial” with lounge chairs in the water! The breakfast was worth ordering at the Reverence and good price everything was delicious and fresh…purple potatoes!!! The hotel is very clean and the staff is friendly definitely worth the price to stay at an Marriott Autograph Collection venue.

This will always be my family and I go to hotel while visiting my son at Morehouse college! From Faye at check in to yara, Cheryl and Nicki in restaurant! Diah was the absolute best! We had to extend our stay and they did the best in accommodating us! We really appreciate this great staff! And they also surprised my husband for his 40th birthday with a bottle of Prosecco!

Always great food and service here. I just wish the menu would stay consistent. It's understandable to have the menu change seasonally. However, it seems as if they are having problems keeping things consistent. I will continue to dine and drink. I just hate to order something I absolutely love a few times and then return and it's no longer available.

Modest but delicious menu selections. I was able to substitute one side for another. Nice staff. Not over priced. I recommend.

Overall the experience was really nice. Tammy was our server and she made our experience enjoyable. The food was really good, but the portions were relatively small for the price. You can tell the quality of the food was top notch. I would give the restaurant a 4.5 but Google doesn’t allow that with the ratings. Overall you must try the restaurant and even stay in the hotel if you are a wine connoisseur and a foodie. I would price this restaurant as $$$$$.

Planned a Birthday Dinner at this restaurant on a weekday. Not busy at all. We got some corn bread and zucchini fritters to start with our drinks. The bar tender made me an interesting drink, no alcohol. Was very refreshing with mint, cucumber, lime. We ordered roasted Brussel sprouts, pesto pasta, polenta baked sticks, Korean plate. My favorite was the polenta sticks and Brussel sprouts, it was little spicy but it was good. I wish they had options for Vegans. We had to customize all our dishes since they don't have vegan options. They surprised us with Chocolate lava cake with fresh fruits. It was delightful, delicious end to our meal.

My beloved friend and I celebrated my birthday dinner back in February. Reverence is one of the best dining experiences in Atlanta. We started off with freshly baked bread and Karaage Fried Chicken as appetizers. For our main course, we had their Epic Short Rib Burger with Foie Gras and House Steak Fries. For dessert, we shared the “Nutter Butter” Choux. And lastly, for our cocktails we had Curious No. 1 and Epic O.F. I proudly and strongly recommend dining at the Reverence for any special occasions.

What happened?? I've dined at reverence in the past and had a great experience. A foodie friend and I met last night to catch up over drinks and apps and left with great conversation but disappointing dining experience. Before I dive in, and to be fair, they did have a private event so maybe this took away from the menu and service. Here we go...The octopus was very tough, scallops had a strong fishy/clammy taste (sent it back), the bang bang shrimp was over breaded/cold and the olives were just ok. The total bill was over the top expensive for C- food and light pours. Our waitress was very inexperienced and knew nothing about the wine or food. Reverence....you can do better!!

Reverence was so incredible!! We loved this as a fun winter date night spot in Midtown. The food was so good!! We were able to try lots of different dishes. I think the Lobster Squid Ink Tagliatelle and Chai Espresso martini were my favorite!! This restaurant is located on the bottom floor of the Epicurean hotel. The restaurant does validate valet but not the parking deck - so definitely do valet. I would love to sit outside during the day here. They have a cute outdoor seating area!

We liked Reverence OK, but the experience was a little underwhelming. You never know what you're going to get with hotel restaurants. In my experience, they've been a mixed bag: https://bit.ly/3j7lC0b. Generally, the restaurants are nice and service is fine. It's the food that's hit or miss. The food at Reverence wasn't bad. However, it's not one of the first restaurants I'd recommend. That's a shame because this is one of those places that "I really wanted to like" after reading and seeing social media posts about it. The restaurant is certainly suitable if you're staying at the hotel, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to dine here. Reverence opened in September 2021 in the relatively-new Epicurean Hotel on West Peachtree Street in Midtown. During our visit, complimentary valet parking was available in front of the hotel for restaurant guests. If you valet, remember to bring cash to tip. When we visited, there was only one valet guy and, as a result, valet service was slow. You can also park in the pay deck next door at 1105 West Peachtree -- same driveway. The cost was $3 per 30 minutes. Reverence did not validate parking in this deck. Reverence piqued my curiosity because it's the signature restaurant of the Epicurean. The Epicurean is a first-of-its-kind hotel for Atlanta, I believe. A quick Google search revealed only one other Epicurean location: Tampa. These are "food-focused" and "culinary-inspired" hotels that are part of Marriott's independent and upscale Autograph Collection. As someone who loves to dine out, I like the concept. The restaurant, kitchen, bar, lounge, and patio are integrated into the hotel lobby. It's so seamless that we thought the hotel check-in counter, which is at the end of the bar and in front of the kitchen, was where we were supposed to check in for the restaurant. When the hotel employee realized we were trying to check in for the restaurant and not the hotel, he said, "Story of my life." I booked our reservations on OpenTable. The space is absolutely beautiful. Five stars for interior design and aesthetics. It's definitely got a modern, swanky, and sophisticated vibe. Big, tall windows that look out onto West Peachtree, glossy floors, pendant lighting, an open display kitchen and sleek wraparound bar, see-through wine coolers with a library ladder (neat), and classy button sofas in the lounge. This place looks straight out of a magazine. The restaurant serves New American cuisine. At the time of writing this review, they're open for breakfast daily, dinner Monday-Saturday, and Sunday for brunch. They used to serve lunch, but announced an end to that in December 2022: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClzQkT7Swo9/?hl=en. Here's what we had: Appetizers * Bacon-Wrapped Ricotta Dates ($15) - maple chili glaze, rosemary, black garlic aioli * Loaded City Fries ($11) - poached egg, truffle, aioli, chorizo, chimichurri Salads * Seasonal Caprese Salad ($15) - tomato, burrata, seasonal fruit, basil, aged balsamico * Epic Umami House Caesar Salad ($15) - butter biscuit croutons, bonito, romaine, radicchio, egg, green goddess dressing * Chinese Chicken Salad ($17) - napa cabbage, radicchio, cashew, sesame, wontons Entrees * Avocado Ricotta Tartine ($21) - smoked salmon, pancetta, poached egg, yellow frisee * House Ground Wagyu Burger ($26) - refried 'nduja, tomato chutney, remoulade, local Gouda cheese, fries, plus a fried egg (+$4) Drink * Latte ($6) The food ranged from OK to good. I like what they offered on the menu. The dishes were fun and creative and there was lots to like. Generally, the food was fresh and presented beautifully. The only exception was the House Ground Wagyu Burger. The burger patty looked and tasted overcooked, like too well done. The patty wasn't as juicy, rich, and flavorful as I had hoped. Instead, it was a bit on the tough and chewy side, as far as hamburger patties go. Disappointing. Other than that, I didn't have a problem with anything else. I did like the refried 'nduja (spicy Italian pork sausage) which was spread on the top bun and the tomato chutney. Nice, unique touches. The apps - Bacon-Wrapped Ricotta Dates and Loaded City Fries - were the best dishes. The fries were decadent and gratifying. The salads were perfectly fine. I preferred the Caprese. The burrata was yummy and the tomatoes were fresh and ripe. I wouldn't describe the Caesar as "Epic," but it was decent. I looked forward to trying the Tartine, but it sort of fell flat for me. It was good, but I was expecting more. The pancetta was a little too tough, and something seemed to be missing from the flavors overall. Service was good. Our server was Mimi. She was polite and attentive, as was everyone else we interacted with including the manager, an assistant, a chef/food runner, and the hotel check-in staff. There was a lot of staff for not many customers, which felt somewhat awkward until more customers arrived. Again, that's hotel restaurants for you. They can be different.

Outside of the bartender stating they didn't have happy hour on Fridays, when they did until 7pm for small bites. It was nice to enjoy a glass of rose and enjoy their decor and quiet ambiance.

Ambiance was on point. Located inside the Epicurean hotel, this low-key restaurant sets the stage for an evening of romance. I was pleasantly surprised when the hostess was able to pronounce my name correctly, which is an amazing feat. It wasn't busy for a Saturday night but I was good with that because I dislike dining in loud places. Our server was very delightful and answered all our questions about drink suggestions and items on the menu. We had the karaage fried chicken which was bougie chicken nuggets. It came with pickled kimchee, an aioli, and a citrus chermoula. They were good and flavorful. The main entree was the ricotta truffle agnolotti with shrimp. It was similar to ravioli and it was topped with corn and pea sauce. It was very light and my drink was a fancy margarita made with tequila, pineapple, and jalapeño. All in all, it was a good experience but very pricey. The fancy nuggets were $18! They were made from chicken thighs! Our server was wonderful and made the dining experience very pleasant. Not sure if I would go back but I would say that it's something you should try.

My family and I decided to do something different this year and eat out instead of home. I was skeptical about Reverence because the menu seemed a bit skimpy in terms of selection, especially for the price but we decided to give them a try. We had 430 reservations but arrived at 4. The setting and ambiance was beautiful. The hostess greeted us with a smile and sat us right away. Our server was Bethany and she was great. She asked if wanted still or sparkling waters, and we let her know we were okay with tap. We were not aware until later that soda coffee or tea were part of the buffet. She did let us know we could partake of the buffet when we were ready. Our evening sort of went downhill from there. The buffet options really left something to be desired. They had a carving station, which was the turkey. The side options were cauliflower stuffing, a roasted mixed vegetable, cornbread dressing, mashed sage sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, turkey pot pie, pumpkin coconut soup, various rolls, kale salad, string bean salad and for dessert, mini macaroons, mini pecan tarts, and what might have been a key lime tart. The presentation of everything was beautiful, however the flavor was not there for anything and the pot pies were cold. This experience was so disappointing and extremely overpriced. I wish I could say I would recommend Reverence to family and friends but it's a no for me.

Gotta start the day with a solid breakfast. If you're in the neighbourhood, make sure to drop by here! Their omelettes were light and made to your liking. I had the spicy sausage, mushrooms and jalapeño. A touch salty for the sausage but their smashed potatoes made up for it! (That's why I had to take a pic of that by itself). The absolute must order breakfast dish is their waffled cheddar grits. Highly recommended by their staff and it doesn't disappoint. The waffled cheddar grits are nice and crunchy with chopped jalapeños buried within. The combination of thick cut bacon, feta and honeycomb make this one of a kind! I'm getting a bit hungry just thinking about it!

This restaurant is located in the Epicurean hotel in Midtown. It's so convenient to be able to roll out of bed and grab breakfast so that's exactly what we did. They have a typical breakfast fare for the most part but no pancakes! I ordered a vanilla latte. I noticed that it tasted like it didn't have any vanilla in it so when I asked for more, the waitress admitted, they had just run out. So that was disappointing. I also ordered one of their healthy smoothies, which tasted pretty good, but was very small for the price. My daughter got a chocolate croissant that was really good and their scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. I also really liked the chicken sausage. Her açai bowl was a little on the warm side., but the fruit was fresh. Overall, the food was pretty solid, but not cheap. It's also awkwardly right near the check in. It was weird, like you're checking in and can be seeing people eating right in front of you. Strange layout. I would not seek out this place but if you're staying at the hotel, it's convenient and pretty good food.

Tuesdays evenings from 6:30 pm - 9:30PM come and enjoy a live music performance by Rich Gunderlock. Valet parking is available and the restaurant will validate your parking.

I'm recommending you visit Reverence for your next dining experience.

Probably will become out brunch "go to", We had a glorious meal! We came for Sunday brunch, having been to the amphitheater a few times. It did not disappoint. Staff was excellent, super friendly and professional, food was out of this world! And our wine was half price, as it seems to happen on Sundays for wines under $100. Recommend a visit and trying: - WOODLAND MUSHROOM TART foie gras, duck confit. grilled rapini. ricotta, egg. truffle. pecorino - TUNA CONFIT 'NICOISE" TARTINE sourdough, egg, olive, tomato, arugula, red onion, avocado - Blue cheese broccolini - Banana pudding - Chocolate and strawberry croissant

Had a wonderful dinner at Reverence located at the Epicurean Hotel. Food and Service: The food was amazing!! Must tries are the steak frites and the foie gras. We also enjoyed the duck dumplings. The wine list is extensive. I love the wine wall they have. Blake, our server was so knowledgeable, polite and knows the menu well. He also suggested the perfect bottle for our meal. If you love a good Syrah and French wine, definitely select the Chateauneuf Du Pape Clos Du Roi. This resto is fit for foodies. The menu can be seasonal so be ready for that. A note to the chef: the steak is delicious! The sauces you served to accompany it are not needed. Trust me. It was that good. Parking: self parking is available. If you valet, resto can validate your ticket. Make sure to visit soon and check out the rooftop. It's a beautiful view. They also have a brunch menu. I can't wait to dine here again.

Everything I have to say about this restaurant is super positive. I went last night with some friends because we were out celebrating a promotion that I got it work. Yay me! So I chose this restaurant because I have been wanting to go check out the epicurean hotel because I have heard such great things about the restaurants. So I will say that our waitress was a delight. She got her started with a bottle of champagne. And she was very knowledgeable about the menu. She was also very honest about the items that were really good and things that she would not recommend. And I really appreciated that good night. So the girls and I all got a small plate to share. So here's the lowdown on the food: Small plates Shrimp and grits Croquetas $17.00. You get 3. They were just ok. Nothing special. But the benton's aged country ham underneath is to die for. Chichironnes Surf & Turf $18.00. You get 3. The pork belly was very chewy. Another just ok dish. Moroccan Duck Meatballs $19.00. You get 4. These are delicious! You must get these. You will not get disappointed. Main dishes: We all chose the pork Wood fired Double Heritage Pork $44.00. Let me tell you how amazing this dish was! Th pork chop was cooked to perfection and the sides were equally as amazing. There was this cooked pear with an arugula salad on top, potatoes and broccolini OMG. So good. I would definitely go back. The service was A+.

I had a fantastic experience at Reverence restaurant located at the Epicurean hotel in Atlanta. The short rib hash with over medium sunny side up eggs, sweet potato succotash, cherry tomato, avocado, and harissa piquillo was an absolute delight. The combination of flavors was amazing and left a lasting impression. The service was quick, and the staff were incredibly friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The sunny and bright setting, along with the nice decor, added to the overall ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal in a welcoming environment.

Enjoyed the Thanksgiving pre-fixe menu - three course meal with a cold Classic City lager. Went to their website to make a reservation and the link took me back to Yelp. Received a text message to confirm. Our server was attentive and apologized that he didn't know the entire menu - found out the menu 30 minutes before they opened, no biggie. The lamb was very tender. The turkey was well cooked and moist. From start to finish, was about one hour. Tom showed us the terrace on the 9th floor. Gave us a quick tour. Hand sanitizer station on the left as you enter. All the staff wore mask and none of them wore gloves.

We recently visited Reverence as a large group on a Saturday evening and were shocked just how empty the restaurant was during prime time. The menu really just isn't compatible with Atlanta's pallet - everything is very chefs tasting style. Almost every person in our group ordered the beef filet as it was the only "normal" item on the menu. To be successful in this location, they're going to have to revamp the concept to offer more steak or seafood options or nightly specials that aren't so creative.

What a great dinner location that happens to be in a Bonvoy Property. Staying in Atlanta for a conference and had a wonderful dinner in the hotel. Great dinner options but an even better wine and cocktail menu. If you come here most definitely ask for Kim as her selection and guidance most definitely helped identify the best choices for dinner and provided great feedback and info on my wine selection. And even better on Tuesdays they have live music! So for a single traveler on their own a wonderful restaurant with great options and A great staff including Kim!! I will be back!

Restaurant only accepts reservations through open table which was convenient as we got same day availability. The floor manager was very pleasant and personable. Made great recommendation to our wine. Food was excellent as seen in pictures. 4 star only cause: 1. The service was way to slow. We had grab our servers attention to place orders. 2. Our wine preference not available, though we were substituted with a great recommendation 3. They should have a sign outside showing valet is free for restaurant customers. 4. Restaurant was freezing cold. FYI: use the valet parking instead of self parking . Valet is validated by the restaurant and self is not

My only experience was the complimentary breakfast courtesy of my Elite membership. My wife had the Full Epicurean Breakfast which was wonderfully prepared and beautifully presented. I had the Steel Cut Oatmeal and also ordered a Chocolate Croissant. The oatmeal was fine, however, the croissant was perfect - so light, flaky, and buttery with just the right amount of chocolate. Likely the best croissant I have ever eaten. Looking forward to a return visit to try them for dinner.

Reverence is located in the Epicurean hotel in Atlanta...a hotel centered around fine dining. There flagship restaurant at this location is Reverence, a local/farm-to-table concept. The space is impressive and modern/chic. The full bar occupies one side of the. main dining room, and is a great place to have a drink. They have a full bar and mocktail options. The menu leans toward local options, though they have a fairly well-balanced selection of specialties, such as fresh oysters. The menu looked very promising, however when we arrived our server told us they were out of...a lot. I would say about 30% of the menu was unavailable, and it was most of what I was interested in. While deliveries can be delayed, which is what they said the issue was, it would have been great to have a restaurant that is trying so hard to be fine dining notify customers of such a drastic limitation in their menu. Our server was pleasant, but wasn't what I'd expect at a restaurant striving for fine dining status. He didn't have answers to a few questions about the menu, was gone for long periods of time, and generally seemed to be bumbling around a bit. I ordered some oysters, which were described as "uni : white soy : ponzu : caviar (R.S.), which I can only assume is (Royal Sturgeon). Sounded good, however when the oysters arrived, they appeared to have trout roe, not royal sturgeon, and there was no uni anywhere to be found. I asked the server, and he seemed to fumble around and apologize, and started to walk away. I actually had to directly as if he'd bring the uni they forgot, at which point he seemed surprised. He brought me "uni" which appeared to be a thick aoli that did not resemble uni in any way. A lovely sounding oyster presentation that feel flat, and rolled off the cliff. The rest of the dinner was just OK; not great, not bad, but not "epicurean" by any standards. The manager came over to see how we were doing, and I explained the issues we had. She did apologize, and at the end of the meal brought us two deserts. This was a nice thank you/apologies, however we thought it a bit odd that we didn't' at least get to pick what we wanted for desert. They were very good, but not what we'd have chosen. Overall, a disappointment, not worth the price, and certainly many better options in Atlanta.

We went for the brunch punch and were blown away by all of the delicious plates we tried! The chefs are truly talented and we can't wait to go back again!!

Would not come again. I suggest you do not either. We were one of maybe 4 tables in the entire restaurant at 8 pm on Sunday night. That said, there was NO excuse for most of the food to come out lukewarm. The server was nice, though! Peking duck dumplings - tasted NOTHING like duck... more like raw pork, and I generally do like raw meat... there were few scant pieces of duck breast with fat that was completely un-rendered and no crispy skin like you would find on normal Peking Duck... sickening. Mushroom appetizer... ok? Nothing really notable. Chicharrones Surf and Turf: Pricey for 3 small pieces. I would have been annoyed if I was actually hungry. What IS annoying is if you are familiar with crispy pork belly or chicharrones... the skin should be crispy. Instead, it was cold and rubbery. I'm also fairly certain the menu said there was uni, and there wasn't. They just put some ikura on top... that's... just false advertising. Would have never ordered it had I known. Server should have mentioned that and did not. Roasted Vegetables: salty. The massive amount of seeds in the eggplant was slightly off-putting but at this point, no surprise there. Surf and Turf with Halibut: The ONLY dish that came out hot. The fries were huge and came with 4 homemade dipping sauces. Beware that there are bones scattered thought the halibut steak. Not a fault of the restaurant, in my opinion, but something to be mindful about. Sorry your birthday dinner was ruined, L!

Our experience is based solely on our drinks and dessert. The moment we walked in we were greeted very warmly by Arthur. When we told him It was our first time there, he patiently explained what all three of their restaurants/bars were like and what they offered. He encouraged us to walk to all three so we could explore and figure out which would be best for us this night. Excellent customer service. Once we sat at the bar, the bartenders were FANTASTIC. One of them asked my friend what it was she normally drinks, what she was in the mood for and took it upon himself to make an excellent customized drink for her. He made a Corpse reviver #2 for her, which is now officially her favorite drink. I had the Coffee drink, which is their take on an Espresso Martini, which was also really good! We had a bit of a sweet tooth so we ordered the millionaires shortbread cheesecake. It was not what we're expecting at all, but it was also really good. The ambiance is Trendy and fun. There was music playing in the background, but it was the perfect volume so you could still hear each other speak. It is a great place for groups or even a first date. We can't wait to come back!

Way overpriced. Food was ok. Mini biscuits and butter were good (the best thing tonight). One of the beef duos was way too salty, potatoes too salty, didn't like the steak sauce even though it was house made. There is a lobster beet salad that was light on the beets but great on lobster portion. BUT I had a stomach ache when I got home and I suspect it may have been the lobster. (I took a Pepcid and felt better.) The tomahawk was the daily special and while it was good, it was way too expensive. This is not NYC but it was priced like it. Also, they did not prep the green beans so the stringy end stem parts were still on them. They had some interesting flavor combinations (shows creativity) but not enough vegetables on the menu. Like when you eat steak, you want something lighter to go with it. There aren't sides, you have to get something from the small or medium plate menu. The small plates are not shareable like true small plates or tapas. The medium plates are not like a light meal. They are literally sides priced like entrees. Oh yeah, they have these very high high-top tables but the chairs are plushy. Not negative, just different. I added a star because (I think the exec chef?) went around all the tables asking how things were, and he came around as we were leaving to thank us for coming. And the place was very clean and I did not fear about getting COVID. I can't say the same for many places in Atlanta. Plus, the location in Midtown is great. Anyway, thank you for that. I think as it is, this place is a solid 3. It will get better once they work the kinks out. Excellent ambiance. Staff is nice and still trying to get good. I would come again but maybe just for drinks..?Currently, the food does not warrant the prices.

A lot of better places to go with in walking distance. This is a hotel restaurant, know that before you going. I had a reservation for Friday night @ 8:30. They only had 1 valet attendant. The attendant did not know how to drive my car. Make sure you get a validation from the restaurant. They will not offer it. Our party of 4 ordered bottled water, and a mix of appetizers. The water was just sat on the table. They did not pour it for us. It was not an issue. We opened the bottle and poured it ourselves. The food came shortly. It started with a small bite size something. I don't know what it was. We did not order it. Not sure if this was special for us or standard for everyone. It was a small ball of meat with a breading. It was served on a white spoon. I'm just going to get straight to the point. No one in our party liked the food. We should have known there would be an issue when the waitress responded to our questions about if something was good as hit or miss. Most of the food was not to serving temperature. The salmon we ordered was sent back. The duck was left uneaten, the steak was eaten , and the Mac and cheese was eaten but it is really just pasta not Mac and cheese. We left disappointed and will never come back. 4 people $385, I expected better.

One day later, and I'm still trying to comprehend our dinner at Reverance. My husband and I were the first to arrive out of our party of six. We sat at the bar, and I really enjoyed the bartenders and the glass of wine one bartender recommended. Once we were all seated, things went downhill quick. Our server clearly had a distaste for the restaurant and was sure to let us know all of the shortcomings both in the kitchen and with management. I found the comments to be a bit bizarre but thought maybe he's trying his hand at stand-up. But then, things got mean. I really didn't speak much to our server, but at one point during dinner, he told me I had an Adam's apple the size of a Rubik's Cube. I'm female. There is nothing protruding from my neck. It was highly uncalled for. Aside from the crude comments of our waiter, the food was mediocre at best. The small plates were tiny and hard to share even though we ordered double of each one. I had a chicken dish that was extremely dry and bland. I'd honestly eat a Hello Fresh at home any given day over the food that was served last night.

Trying too hard to be fine dining. Service was nice but the food, in my opinion, was trying to be more than it was. Everything was good but not great or worth the cost. I don't mind paying top dollar for excellent food, this simply missed my mark. Most expensive scoop of tuna salad I've ever witnessed for an appetizer. The rest of dinner was fine but not outstanding.

Truly exceptional food but the atmosphere tends to distract from what should be one of the best new restaurants in Atlanta. Would we come back? Probably. Let's start with the basics. It's a hotel restaurant with a chef WAY more talented than the palette he's been given. The Epicurean is meant to celebrate food and Reverence is supposed to be one of its showcases. What he gets is a glammed up bar/lounge whose environmental A.D.D. distracts from some of the most amazing, nuanced, and well-executed food you will find in Atlanta today. We went for the whole nine yards including each having dishes from the small, medium, and large plates respectively plus desert. Every single course was not only exceptionally well executed - including the best Swordfish Steak I have ever had - but dishes like the Moroccan Duck Meatballs and Lamb Tataki with Mustard-Infused Granola are mind blowing in the best way possible. The servers are a part of the experience by explaining not just what you're about to eat and how to best experience it (i.e. the deconstructed shortbread cheesecake). At first it sounds hokey and a little annoying but the more you engage with them, the better your experience is. Our server - Justin - was an encyclopedia of the chef's thinking and helped with some amazing suggestions. They also double as bartenders so do ask for THEIR choice of a mocktail or cocktail because you will surprised and delighted. Now let's talk about the only reason I hold back on a better rating - the atmosphere. And look, It's not a bad place to hang out. In fact, the space is rather exceptional on its own. Beautifully done and with windows that showcase the energy and brilliance of a revitalized West Peachtree, The multitude of TVs and literal mash up as a hotel common area trends to majorly distract. We got seated at the table nearest the kitchen door so we probably should have spoken up but even if we were at the best table it would have been distracting. My hope is that the team behind the restaurant sees this and takes the feedback to heart because I'd really love to love this restaurant. It's even pretty decently priced. Think we got out of there with a three course meal under $100 a piece. Just delete the TVs and see if you can't create some sort of delineation in the space between the casual diners and the ones that are there for the experience,

Date night was epic! We stayed at the Epicurian and couldn't help to stop at this gorgeous restaurant/ bar. We had so much fun here we came back after our original plans. We sat at the bar. Our bartender was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food is expertly prepared and plated. We enjoyed watching the staff prepare food items as the the view from the bar to the kitchen is AMAZING. They have a semi open chicken with glass partitions which allow us to see all the little things they do to make our meals special. This was certainly a night to remember and will return once back in atlanta.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. I took my mother here for brunch on Mother's Day and we both enjoyed the food and the ambiance. We both ordered the epicurean breakfast with a side of cheesy grits. The grits were well seasoned, great texture and the perfect amount of cheese. The epicurean itself comes with eggs, bacon, 2 different sausages (one is a blood sausage), biscuit, potatoes and garnished on the plate were tomatoes and mushrooms. Our server was Kelly and he was great. He also talked with us about their dinner menu and made some suggestions. We will definitely be back for another brunch and to try dinner. The only negative review I would leave is that they are not great at answering the phones. I probably called 3 times leading up to my reservation and they only answered the phone once. If you're looking to make a reservation I'd say it's best to do online via yelp. They will send you messages leading up to your reservation to confirm.

Impeccable service in an elevated setting. Food was stellar and presented beautifully. Highly recommend when staying @ Epicurean or in the Midtown area.

We had a really nice meal here. The hotel is really nice and this restaurant is no exception. We had a hard time deciding between the menu with several great sounding options. Food was all cooked well and delicious. They have a terrific wine list and a sommelier on staff. Definitely save room for the desserts!

First, The Epicurean is a fabulous hotel but the wait and bar staff at Reverence made my stay beyond amazing. The food is incredible. Try the homemade bread, the fried tuna roll or go for breakfast. I sat with several others traveling and they were raving about their meals as well!! Go and enjoy!!!

Small proportions, big price! We went on a Friday night to try it out since it's new and close by- not too busy for a Friday night at all. Food itself wasn't bad-nothing to justify the price and nothing that left us craving it for the future- just very overpriced in my opinion. Literally the smallest bits of burrata in the caprese salad. The king mushroom small plate had a very interesting deep flavor. If you don't eat meat, the butter they serve with the biscuits had bacon in it we weren't aware of. Getting plain butter was no problem, and the service was good.

Nothing short of amazing! Great food an the staff is impeccable! I highly recommend visiting chef Rick!

This restaurant has a great design and that is how it has earned the 2 stars I've listed. The food is shockingly bad one of the only meals that I literally couldn't eat. At $40+ per plate the temperature should be correct (didn't happen) but it should certainly be edible.

Absolutely phenomenal. This property hit the jackpot with this Chef. We ordered as a group and tried a significant portion of both the dinner and breakfast menus, and everything was top notch. Dinner favorites: lamb tataki, trilogy of salmon, lobster beetroot salad, duo of beef, halibut steak, and the tomahawk steak frites. Dessert: millionaires shortbread cheesecake. Breakfast favorites: tartine, waffle, omelette. I will be coming back... repeatedly. I would not be surprised to see a James Beard Award nomination coming for this place.

Great new spot in midtown. Dishes are a little pricey, but definitely worth it. We had a few different small/medium plates + dessert and it was plenty of food. The pork belly surf and turf was incredible. Cocktails were tasty and reasonably priced. We had the hibiscus and citrus- both were delicious and smooth. Good vibes for a nice date night.

I took my family to this restaurant a few days ago for a celebration regarding some of my recent accomplishments. Some of those family members came from out of the country. The ambiance was lovely, warm tone. The service was impeccable. The host was so inviting and pleasant. Our servers, Mike & Jennifer, were absolutely spectacular and helped us with a few items on the menu. The pace of dinner was perfect. There were no hovering servers or rush to order throughout the night so the atmosphere was relaxing giving enough time for ongoing conversation. Cocktails were done amazingly. The reason my rating is low is due to the food, starting with cold biscuits that we had to ask to be redone. My appetizer was also cold and my octopus entree although cooked to perfection was also cold. I mentioned to the server that most of the food came out cold or room temperature (the plates were hotter than the food) but no one came over to apologize or offer new dishes. Given that the bill was pretty high and the vibe of the place, I was expecting more attention to detail to the food temperature. The steak frites was really good. I was very disappointed as I know that the head chef for this restaurant is well known and the food was very sub par. I was also at the opening of the Epicurean where the food was impeccable. I often eat and drink at The Office Bar which is phenomenal so I am invested in my contributions to this place. Hopefully my review helps spotlight some things that need to be revised. Still, thank you for a great time!

Beautiful space in the Epicurean hotel. We went to the Reverance for brunch and had great service. The brunch items weren't exactly accurate to what was on the website - they didn't have a couple of things to make cocktails or the shellfish tower, wasn't a big deal though. Had a few glasses of champagne to start. We ordered the loaded fries which were definitely delicious. I had the tuna which was good but didn't blow me away. The French fries were so good. My fiancé had the chicken and grits which was really good. Would come back to try dinner!

Amazing experience in the heart of Midtown! Girls weekend trip to Atlanta and we stayed at Epicurean. Michael was fabulous, attentive service! Love the menu concept- thoughtful seasonal selections and a variety of portions for all appetites (and budgets). The scallop dish was one of the best things I've ever had! Wine selection & Arthur's knowledge blew us away. Dinner was so good we went back for breakfast. Atlanta has a world class dining option in Reverence!!

Posh place for breakfast, costly unless you have a breakfast coupon from the hotel. Delightful food though and wonderful service. Home made jellies new every day;delicious roasted ginger potatoes and grilled mushrooms; eggs were cloud fluffy and the bacon crisp. Added bonus, good people watching.

I decided to visit to celebrate a special occasion. I'd previously called and was told that they do have something special to accommodate special occasions. Nothing happened... Let's start at the arrival. The entrance/lobby is shared with the hotel lobby and it was very confusing. I was treated by a gentleman and I told him that I had reservations, and I'm waiting on the rest of my party. He instructed me to stand at the bar and wait. I asked what are my other options. He said have a seat in the seating area, and I asked if a server comes for drinks. He said that he couldn't recognize the staff due to masks, but he would send someone over. Long story short, nobody came for a while, the same guy guided members of my party to have a seat with me, a server then asked if she could help due to us sitting for a while, she instructed us to the host who said that they'd been waiting on us, and that's when we learned that the first guy was not a part of the restaurant and wasted a bunch of our time talking about nothing. The drinks are great for the spring or summer. They are well crafted. They could have better presentation. The wines are good. The food was not good. I really expected a unique culinary experience that would be tantalizing. The presentation was well. None of the food was hot that was supposed to be. The hot stuff taste like a stick of butter, especially the ravioli. The lobster salad was the best. The caprese was not memorable, and the salmon trio is two deconstructed sushi pieces that were also not memorable. Nothing on the menu was specifically unique to this restaurant to make me have to go back and get it. All of the garnish sauces taste like nothing. FYI, the biscuits and butter (we were told that they didn't have bread although there was a butter knife with the place setting and then they appeared) has lard in them. My friend who disclosed her dietary restrictions with meat ate the biscuit. The server didn't tell us about the lard until I asked. The food flavors were actually a little weird and didn't sit well on my tongue. I stopped eating. I was over it. Things just wasn't executed well and we tried a lot of items on the menu. The ambiance. After I got passed the lobby situation and entered the dining area, I was not too impressed. It is definitely not intimate. I didn't like the high top tables and the lower tables all seemed for parties of 6 or more. It was freezing in there. That's probably why my food tasted like cold butter. The butter was solidifying. All ladies had their coats on and zipped up. Overall, I don't want to go back. I wish that the restaurant was up on a different floor or something. Nothing went pass me that made me excited to try. We never celebrated. It is a hotel restaurant that might need to be simplified, because what was going on might be too complicated for the staff. I was really disappointed by the hype of it, the marketing, and then the experience.

Came here for brunch on Easter. We had a 1230 reservation and we didn't get our food until 90 mins later. NO LIE. The restaurant wasn't busy, the (male) manager was rude, the female manager was a hit better. When the food finally came, half the order was wrong. We are still waiting. This place is TERRIBLE and I will not be back! Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere or EAT before you come!

Went for couples night. Reverence has good food and a lovely atmosphere. That night the service was a bit slow. They also validate valet!

Way over priced. Tiny portions. Large plates were smaller than the medium plates. (Large plates ranged from $32 to $55 and were 1/3 the size of a normal portion.) Waiters had no knowledge of the food whatsoever. For the prices and the expected culinary experience the waiter should be able to explain the food on the menu. The restaurant was basically the lobby of the hotel. A hard pass.

Food was amazing! Was little disappointed with cocktails but end of the day it was great experience for a bday night!

Sunny, was our hostess and took special care to make sure we had the best view. Our drinks were amazing btw!

Amazing breakfast menu. I had a fresh pressed juice, the tartine, yogurt and granola... all amazing. Good vibe and friendly staff. The perfect breakfast spot!
