Where to Eat in Atlanta

"Local favorite chef Kevin Gillespie heads up this homage to his two grandmothers set in a porch-fronted house in downtown Decatur. The cuisine is Southern home cooking — think mac ‘n cheese, sweet potato soufflé with pecans, collard greens with Benton’s bacon, fried chicken, and cheddar grit cakes. The vibe is casual Sunday supper.Location: 129 Church St, Decatur, GA 30030" - MATADOR_NETWORK

Thank you Dustin! Recommended and can see why! Delicious cocktails and decor. Upon entering, you feel the vibes from the pool and the sun and that can be a nice feeling on a Taco Tuesday. Cheers and Enjoy!

Revival at The Sawyer gave me one of the best nights I’ve had in Sacramento. The rooftop location makes it instantly special - you get a beautiful view of downtown, and the vibe is trendy without trying too hard. I ordered a small plate and a cocktail, and both were fantastic. The food was flavorful and well thought out, and the drink had that perfect balance you’d expect from a high-end bar. The service was smooth and friendly, and it felt like the staff genuinely wanted us to enjoy our night. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger and soak up the atmosphere.

Place is pretty nice and it was pretty crowded on a Saturday night which I was expecting. I do like the cheesecake though very delicious, although I devoured most of it lol.

We had an amazing experience at this bar! Despite the busy crowd, the drinks were absolutely fabulous. We visited during the Kings and Warriors championship game, so the rush was expected. The pool area offers a wonderful view of DOCO, with plenty of covered seating to relax in. The full bar offers a wide range of drinks and the food is delicious. Even better, you don't have to be a hotel guest to enjoy it. The ambiance is enjoyable and the clean restrooms were a nice touch. We plan on returning to this gem again and again! Just note that there isn't ideal parking nearby, however, you can validate parking in the parking garage.

First time here was a good experience, don't have to be a quest for visit this roof top bar. Love the cute chair settings. Nice pool in the middle (pool closed at 7pm however the roof top balcony is open at 7pm) there is gas fire pits on the outside. Rest rooms are pretty clean. The drink so great so delicious, I recommend the midnight dream drink. Food and drinks are $$. But a night we'll spent for our 11 year anniversary dinner.

I had a frustrating experience here. After being told to be patient while they made my drink, I was later told that I had canceled it, which was not true. Then, shockingly, they asked security to remove me. The interaction was rude, unprofessional, and extremely disrespectful. I have never had such a problem anywhere.Even my friends already paid for their drinks

Revival at the Kimpton Sawyer is hands down one of the best cocktail spots in Sacramento. The bartenders here truly know their craft—every drink is made with precision, creativity, and top-quality ingredients. You can tell they take pride in what they do because each cocktail not only tastes incredible but is presented beautifully. The vibe is stylish yet welcoming, making it the perfect place for a night out or to unwind after a long day. If you appreciate well-made drinks and expert bartenders, Revival is a must!

My experience here was nothing short of unremarkable!! Our server and manager on shift was very attentive and was practically waiting on me and my girlfriend hand and foot. The ambiance was superb as well as the food. Special thanks to the manager Tony, I can't recommend this establishment highly enough! 12 out of 10

Good: Drinks and ambience were really good. We were able to get in and seated without an issue. Bad: When we ordered, they took and held onto a credit card to start a tab (no issue there, it common). BUT, before they even delivered the drinks, they already charged my credit card for our drinks. I've never had that happen at a bar before. Second BAD thing, when we were given the bill, they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. I usually tip 20% anyway but we were never advised of the automatic 20% and the bill never listed "Gratuity" as a line item. The bill just had a line item for "subtotal" and "table total". The way the present the bill and credit card receipt, I'm sure a lot of people tip another 18-20% not knowing, especially if they have been drinking. Super shady business practice. Like I said, I have no issue tipping 20% or a 20% being automatically added to a bill, but a business and employees need to make that very clear. I've been here a bunch of times and probably duped by them before. I probably won't be coming back,

Revival is one of few rooftop bars in Sacramento, and it's a fun spot to enjoy a casual happy hour! I recently stopped by for Sunset Sips and had a reservation, although I don't think it's needed during the slower summer season. Our server was very pleasant, and when I asked about the Sunset Sips series, she was able to give me the run down. I wish that Revival carried a print menu since that would've helped with the promotion. I ended up ordering the "Penthouse and Prosper", which is Revival's take on a "Millionaire Margarita." It was so good, well balanced, and only $9! Besides the Sunset Sips series, Revival also has a "Golden Hour" menu, which we ordered a couple more drinks and food off of. I'd recommend passing on the food, but think the drink deals are a steal considering standard prices. Overall, fun spot to enjoy a well crafted cocktail and unbeatable views of DOCO!

I've been to the Revival for lunch and dinner (happy hours, birthdays, etc) and have always had an amazing time. This time we stopped in for happy hour before going to dinner and it was perfect. We ordered a few appetizers and cocktails. What a perfect evening and pleasant atmosphere always.

We were excited to head to Revival to celebrate a birthday tonight. We made a reservation online for 4pm for an outdoor spot. We arrived right as they opened at 4pm and were the first guests in. They informed us there was no outdoor seating until 7pm, which was one of my main reasons we chose this spot. We were seated inside which was still beautiful and comfortable. We ordered within the first five minutes, still the only people to have ordered and our drinks took 32 minutes to come out. The manager noticed, and told us they were on their way. But a little too late. We ordered three cocktails and a glass of wine, they were out of the first two wines I requested. After the long delay they did give a generous wine pour. Two of the three cocktails were really good, the third was very bad and was almost untouched. We saw our server twice - to take our order and give us the bill. Someone else delivered our drinks. All in all bad service. The manager tried, but didn't make enough of an effort to make up for the experience. We visit the Kimpton where we live often and were excited to try this but it was a huge miss. Very disappointing.

This is my second time coming to Revival, but first time trying their food and drinks. Revival is located inside the Sawyer Hotel which is across from Golden 1. The views are so nice, being a rooftop bar, but also having an indoor area. I ordered the flourless chocolate cake as well as the White Velvet drink. The White Velet had coding blanco, coconut, lime juice, pomegranate, and cointreau. I was not the biggest fan of the taste of the drink, although I always appreciate drinks with pebble ice. The chocolate cake was okay, however, the service was very slow, and for the price, I expected the slice to be a little bigger. I would recommend Revival just for the great views.

We got here right at 4 pm when they open and they were immediately getting busy. It's a great chill place to grab drinks and have a snack or two. It's within Kimpton hotel so you can park in the DOCO parking garage which is very convenient. It did take some time for our drinks to come out but the staff were nice. I do love the ambience inside, modern but laid back. Would come back for happy hour!

The girls and I came here for the roof top bar and had a blast. I had the wedge salad with chicken, lobster roll and a glass of prosecco. We also had a plate of fries that were not a full plate. The manager addressed the fries which made it better. Great atmosphere and nice staff we'll come back soon.

I stopped in during a work trip and enjoyed lovely solo dinner. The vibe is darling, cute and pink and super girly. It faces the pool so until feel like you're on a vacation. I enjoyed a few apps including their meatballs and mezza dip. Don't miss out on this hidden gem located at the Kimpton Sawyer.

The Kimpton Sawyer Hotel January Monday 2/3/2025 Happy Hour 5:00 pm. We had the oysters, they were okay. Not the best I've had but hey it's happy hour. $2.00 for each. Service was Peter and another guy, both were attentive. It wasn't busy at all. Their Casa Dragones tequila was $130 a shot. That's a bit pricy when you can buy the whole bottle for that. But, hey- they have it! The ambiance was peaceful. There's many places to sit and explore. Looking out the window was lovely. Better service than food. I'm a truth teller as I see it. Would love to hear your thoughts. Good Day to all!

This place is a joke. Upon arrival to the Kimpton no one greeted us or even bothered to open the door. So much for a luxury hotel. Came to Revival after work on a Wednesday to meet some friends. Instead of being greeted I was asked for Identification. ( my Girlfriends I was meeting did not have to show ID). Upon opening my purse I realized I didn't have my Drivers License. I told the Bartender I have a digital copy and asked if she would accept this. She said she was ok with it but would need to ask her manager. The Manager couldn't even give me the decency of a conversation, she just said no and looked down I told the bartender I didn't know I needed Identification to Dine here on a Wednesday afternoon. So I left. I totally understand it's on me for not having my ID, however, the rudeness from the waitress was unreal. The place down the street happily took the digital copy of my identification - so I don't get the issue to eat at a restaurant. I won't be back here or ever to stay at the Kimpton. Downtown Sacramento is dying and this is exactly why. Lack of customer service.

Revival is the kind of place that I'd say be cautious about, in the sense of be very clear on what you expect. We had reservations here plus paying extra for an outdoor cabana. We arrived on time and were led....outside to a dark cabana with no activity. No good lighting (some dim ambient was kinda present), no music whether live or DJ'd or pumped in, not much space for a pre-reserved group of 6, or anything except someone wanting to take our order. Pay extra for this?!? Nope. Thankfully when we calmly and respectfully made it known this wouldn't work especially for additional cost, we were relocated inside. Dim ambiance but a nice enough decor. The drinks were a little better than OK, nothing memorable. Our server seemed a bit nervous but overall she was very nice and I wish I remembered her name. It wasn't more than a few minutes after the bar closed though that some tired looking man came over to moderately enforce to us (who still had a couple sips or so left) that they were closed and we needed to go. Strangely he walked right past another table of 4, about 20' away, who were showing no signs of leaving. Hmmm... OK experience completed. I strongly doubt we'll come back here.

What a fun spot! I came here to grab a drink with a friend and it was both our our first times. It's pretty easy to get to. There is an elevator in the Sawyer lobby right at the entrance, and you take it to the thirst floor to get to Revival. Upon arrival we were greeted by a hostess. We had a reservation so we had no waiting period. We were seated at a booth, and helped within five minutes. The cocktails are pretty pricey ($18 each for the Pink Panthers). although, they are super tasty! We loved the Pink Panthers. It does have egg in it which I thought was interesting. The ambience is truly unmatched. There is a beautiful view of DOCO, and huge pool, vibey lighting, good music, and beautiful decor. It's an indoor-outdoor set-up, so the patio was partially covered and partially not. I love it. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Not much to say about the place. There was a dozen of us. Gave us a hard time to get in. And when we get in, we're we're brought to the outdoor table/cabana. We're chose three different alcohols we were planning to order. But then we get told there is no bottle service. NO BOTTLE SERVICE!! The place is nicely decorated and the rooftop was somewhat aesthetically pleasing. That's bout it.

So I got here about 20 min ago and me and my husband ordered something. I'm not even done half way with my drink and a bartender is already having me pay. I guess they don't want my business if they want me to go so bad keep in mind this want out bartender someone else who came to bring the tab which was a girl with blond highlight in her hair. It was my husband and I date night and I felt rush to get out .

Revival is hands-down one of the best spots in Sacramento for a stylish night out or a laid-back afternoon with friends. Located on the rooftop of the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, it offers stunning views of downtown and the Golden 1 Center. The seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is elevated with soft lighting, good music, and an overall modern aesthetic. Their craft cocktails are on point--creative, balanced, and beautifully presented.

Hip bar upstairs at the Sawyer Hotel across from Golden One Arena is a perfect spot to grab a drink before the game. You take the elevator up to the third floor from the hotel lobby. There is an expansive pool deck with lounge chairs and fire pits overlooking DoCo Plaza and the Arena. They serve plastic cups so you can take your drinks outside. Bar and outdoor seating is open, table seating inside is hosted. We ate half dozen oysters and drank a few adult beverages. Sonya assisted us at the bar and was very helpful. On game nights they have a few specialty purple cocktails made with lavender syrup - go Kings!

FYI* If you are traveling from another country make sure you have a US identification. I have never experienced a manager telling someone they could not enter a bar or facility because they don't have a US identification. We had a friend coming from overseas to travel and they were not let into this place because his identification was not from the United States. This is the capital of California one of the most diverse places in the world, how could they not accept international identifications.

It's a vibe! Love the decor and the ambiance. Feels super upscale. It's very intimate to me. It's the bar/lounge of the hotel Sawyer, but feels like a place of its own. It's open to the public you don't have to be staying at the hotel to visit. Go during sunset golden hour, the views are spectacular. The pool outside just makes it feel so calm. They do serve food not just bar drinks. Bartenders are work fast but usually attentive. The drinks are okay. Presentations always a 5/5 and it's tasty, but not much alcohol. I'd recommend this spot if you're looking for low key atmosphere for a small talk or relaxed night. Not so much for a bar night out. Maybe you can start here but won't be the vibe you're looking for for an actual night out. There is music but it's more of a lounge.

Don't bother making reservations or coming in at all. I made a reservation over the phone and when I came in I was told I didn't have a reservation even though I had called the day before to add another person. You would think it would run better considering the area and the hotel it's in.

No reservation required. Great rooftop location -- overlooks Golden 1 Center exterior. Small bites in menu is great! GAMBAS AL AJILLO is herb & butter shrimp with baguette slices. Light and filling. Very yummy. For their PICA, they had prosciutto wrapped-honeydew melon slices. I should have stopped here, but I ordered while I was hungry so I also had SALPICON which were octopus slices on a bed of veggies. My server was super friendly, fast and accurate. Space is beautiful.

Cool rooftop bar in downtown Sacramento right near Golden 1 Center. Relaxed vibe with low tables and couches. Had some drinks and light apps. Big plus is they have crushed ice-- always a win. Cheddar cheese plate and bread was legit a half slice of American cheese and dried bread-- could pass on that one. Caesar salad was good and spicy!

I was looking for a rooftop bar near DOCO and wanted to try this place out. The hotel was very nice looking and luxurious on our way up to the bar. When we arrived we were greeted and sat at one of the sofa couches. We ordered two cocktails which were delicious. We were checked on frequently and the servers were knowledgeable and accommodating. It was raining so we couldn't fully enjoy the rooftop bar but we walked out to look at the view quickly before we finished our drinks. The ambiance was very classy and upscale just like the hotel that it is in. Would recommend for an elegant evening of craft cocktails.

I really enjoyed our last minute visit to Revival! I stopped in for drinks and dessert with my partner around 7:30pm on a Thursday. It was not crowded at all and we had no reservations but we didn't even have to wait!! Each week night has different featured deals...our visit was showcasing "Tiki Thursday"! It was a vibe. Great music (mainly Spanish raggaeton but I ain't even mad!) great drinks, and great cheesecake! Our server was super friendly and nice. She was consistently checking in to make sure that we were satisfied. I wish I remembered her name! I loved walking around the pool deck! Keep in mind, the pool is strictly reserved for guests 7:00am-7:00pm. There's hotel valet parking and revival does do validation for a $15 deal. The valet staff was a group of sweet young workers. Overall, it's a great date night spot and a cool summertime vibe. I'm definitely going to be returning.

*Such* a great time every time I find myself at Revival. The staff is always really attentive & the vibe/aesthetic is really unique. I didn't have my physical card, but they still opened a tab for me & let me pay with ApplePay -- love that! I would even say this is a hidden gym of Sacramento; which doesn't have too many. This time around, I was accompanied & we ended up having a nice glass of white wine (a chard I think) while he had a beer. I usually have a cute little cocktail, but since we made it to happy hour (we went Labor Day so it was pretty empty, and caught their happy hour which is 3-6 I believe) I opted for a glass of wine. Also, and to my surprise, we made it in time to try their $2 oysters (while supplies last)! The happy hour is super clutch: wine for $7, beer for $5? (I think), & $2 oysters for 6! Still, going to be honest, oysters are not my favorite at all, but who I was with really enjoyed them. They were also pretty hefty/thick which is great for the price. And they came with cute travel hot sauces! Which made eating them worth it, lol. Overall, I had a great time & even got some cute piks in. I can't wait to circle back & get revived again!

Me and some coworkers came into revival yesterday and got a round of drinks through Adam. His service was great, good banter and has a unique approach to bartending. He claims to enjoy to turn something that people stay away from into something that anyone would enjoy. He had his own whiskey cocktail on the menu and it was delicious. Hope he gets his props.

I love the vibe of this place. It's upscale and it's great viewed/scenery are perfect for girl's nights or to catch up with friends. I think the drinks and food are overpriced. Maybe if the cocktails and food were superb, it would of be an issue but that's not the case. Service is a hit and miss depending on how busy they are. Drinks are sometimes really good and sometimes you wonder. I ended up sticking to wine because of the inconsistency of the cocktails. We ordered two samplers which looked delicious but they didn't provide wonton chips or chips to scoop up the mango salad or poke. It looked so good too. We asked the server for some sort of option and she said they only had bread they could offer. What a shame. I probably won't be back.

Overall my visits have been ok, we mainly order drinks and appetizers before heading out to other places, but this last time we had a concert to go to, so I was excited to find reservations available here. To my surprise there was no hostess, a lovely security guard took us to our table after we waited some time and we explained we had to leave by a certain time, and wanted to have dinner before then. The service continued to be awful, they may have been nice, but they took forever and it was not worth the wait. The drinks were ok, and the food was just not good! We ordered Gambas and their Skirt Steak, the steak was over cooked and not well seasoned at all. The Gambas tasted overcooked as well, and the papas bravas were not what we expected. What continued to be the theme of the night besides the overcooked and under seasoned food, was the lack of service. We would have ordered more drinks, regardless of the bad food and service, as we wanted to skip the lines at the concert, but the lack of service didn't allow for us to order more drinks. The place is nice. The view is beautiful if you can get out to the pool side, but I'm not sure the view is worth it. If you want a great time before a concert or game, I'm not sure if this place is worth the gamble. Like I said, been here a few times, and it's been hit or miss.

Where to begin? We had a table reserved for the Perfect Pair Valentines special, and were fairly excited, as neither of us had ever been to The Revival. Upon arrival, we were seated at a cocktail table. Not a dining table. A cocktail table. With a wicker-ass chair and low facing bench, where the banana leaves hung in my girlfriends face. Not a great start. Our server, Terrick (sp?), was the one bright spot in the whole evening. He was a doll and moved us to a more suitable spot. Once we were settled, we were finally able to take in the ambience; a combination of Sublime and Drake carried the airwaves, which suited the tacky, tiki-chic décor, complete with a young lady that had her friend/assistant taking duckface selfies with their Cannon. Charming. I ordered an Old Fashioned, which arrived in a plastic cup... just... come on... As for dinner? Well, someone lied on their resume in order to get the Chef de Cuisine position , because the 'fine dinning' experience that rolled out was a culinary abortion. To begin, they mis-categorized the Amuse, simply adding it to the course list. So in reality, we had a 3 course 'meal'. The amuse itself was billed as a 'vegan' ceviche, with no actual explanation of the fish substitute. When it came out, it was just sort of slid across the table by someone who wasn't our waiter. The plating was presentable enough, resting on an endive leaf. However, the flavor wasn't subtle; it was nothing but a burst of cilantro and lime, which just gushed around in our mouths, and was truly off putting. The next course was actually decent. A goat cheese and orange Frisee salad with toasted pecans and beets (the latter of which didn't actually make it onto her plate somehow). Anyway, it was fresh and well balanced, and we both enjoyed it, which only gave us false hope. The main is where things really went off the rails. Hers was an 'American style' Kobe fillet with mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was decently cooked at medium rare (though she asked for medium), but the asparagus was woody with the ends left on, and was garnished with whole peppercorn. Like seriously, big ol' peppercorn boulders. Who does that? My main was a Porcini mushroom ravioli with a beet Beurre Blanc, artichoke hearts, pomegranate seeds, and pepitos. Which sounds lovely! But what came out looked like lukewarm cat puke. Everything was just blobbed into a small bowl, drowned in the Beurre Blanc, and had the garnishes sloppily thrown atop. The flavor was bland, and I didn't finish it. Dessert wasn't better. To start, the rock hard Nutella garnish (and what we think was a single M&M?) was slopped down next to a lemon tart that was 90% crust and 10% lemon filling with dollops of untoasted merengue (which is made of raw egg and shouldn't be served as such). The other dessert was a crème brulee cheesecake, but the crème wasn't really bruleed; or perhaps it was the night before, but by the time it hit the table it was a soft, wet glaze covered with thin slices of mushy strawberry. The crust was so full of cinnamon, it made our mouths numb. They did bring out a what I can only describe as a vat of Dow's 10 year tawny port in a white wine glass for me to knock back while we spooned through the above sugar pile though, so I guess that was nice? We've had many delightful Michelin star experience here in Sacramento; this was simply a pedestrian shadow of a fine dinning experience, and we kept joking that it was really someone's 7 year old child in the back 'making mommy and daddy dinner'. At least that would have been cute. In the end the bill was ~$250, which was about ~$150 more than this meal was worth. And that, was not cute.

Definitely not a fan of this place, but my experience is based on the bouncer and bartenders. Bouncer was very rude. Bartendee took forever to acknowledge us and when we placed our order, they took a while to bring our drinks. Overrated place with bad service.

I came here for the first time to grab a quick meal and drink before a concert nextdoor. I would say this place is intended for the party/lounge crowd - they check IDs at the door (all day?), all of their glasses are plastic (presumably bc they open this place up to the pool for people to spread out at some point), and they take a credit card from you before you order. But very instagrammable setting if that's what you're looking for. The food menu is fairly small but the drink selection was good from what I recall. 4 stars for the surprisingly good food. Service was pretty slow, we were waiting around a lot even though it wasn't full.

Came here on a Sunday night and enjoyed the bar. Sunday is happy hour all day so we enjoyed food and drinks. We had Alex as our bartender and he was awesome. The drinks were amazing. He made me a bomb lemon drop which most bartenders easily mess up. It was so perfect I had 3 of them =p Hubby enjoyed his drinks as well. We ordered whipped ricotta, chicken tacos, potato fries and the baguette pizza which was AMAZING. Shocked it was so good for bar food. The ambience was great. Cute decor and set up in the main room. It was too cold to be outside with drinks but the outside view looked nice. Great time here, will be back for sure!

I've had multiple great experiences here, it's become one of my go-to spots. I love the classy rooftop atmosphere which is great for pictures. I recently came here for a friend's birthday and we were seated by a bonfire outside which had a great view of the fireworks over the city. Our server was very sweet and acommoadating. I wouldn't necessarily come here for the food because I personally think you could get more for your money somewhere else. However, it's a great place to lounge, socialize, and have drinks. I also ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake which was amaaazing! Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to end your night in sac!

This was our very first time!We stopped to get a drink during happy hour before a concert at Golden one. They have a variety of drinks and the music that was playing was good! My husband and I sat at the bar. The happy hour ended at 7pm and that is when they open the pool area for anyone to enjoy the rooftop and sunset. We went out and really enjoyed the outdoor pool area as it is a great place to overlook the Golden one quad area and people watch! The bathrooms were also super clean. The bartender was very nice and very attentive and he made sure he kept our drinks full.

I was there last night and went to use the ladies room and couldn't get over how terrible the smell of urine was. It reminded me of a hamster cage that had not been cleaned for weeks. The ammonia smell was so strong it burned my nose. Please do something. Other than that everything else was fine.

Food was ok. Worst was the meatball bartender Jeremy. Unprofessional, rude, and thought he was gods gift to the bar patrons. Pompous and annoying. He couldn't make an old fashioned at all. Tasted horrible.

Great atmosphere. Cute inside and out. Deep fried deviled eggs. No thank you. They were very strange, chewy and a definite no. Do not order. Maybe do a pickled deviled egg? Sliders, no thank you. Pork too salty and dry. Chicken, dry. Dirty martini is not made with real espresso, just fyi, but it was decent. Great server staff.
