Magnolia’s Kitchen & Cocktails

I would recommend this place — the ribeye was one of the best I’ve had, cooked Pittsburgh medium-well. The reason for the 3 star rating is the calamari; both times I ordered it, it was burned. Also, I believe they serve bread to all tables except mine (though I could be wrong). Overall, excellent atmosphere and very clean.

We were glad we reserved a table well in advance, because they were full. It’s a lovely place, and we got a great corner table for the six of us. Maria was extremely attentive, and checked in on us constantly. Brunch fare, though not unusual, was good. Even though we stayed on a while, and the restaurant started emptying out, they didn’t seem to mind. Parking by the restaurant was the only challenge, but there’s a deck a little distance away.

Amazing service thanks to Dre! Gave us brunch recommendations and definitely didn’t disappoint. Got the apple spiced doughnuts, shrimp & grits, and the chicken biscuit.

This place is beyond exceptional! My husband (first timer) was surprised by the variety and flavors of the dishes! We enjoyed the variety of food options (artichokes pictured) as well as the fabulous desert (not pictured- cheesecake with beet was amazing!) This quaint little place has quite the service, management (Charleton is amazing), and atmosphere! If you’re looking for something high quality, priced fairly, and lots of options, and great aesthetic, this is the place!

Party of 10 came here for my daughter’s birthday on Sunday for brunch. It was a memorable experience. Foods were awesome as usual. They set us up in a private room, over the top. Service was great. Just look at the photos. We’ve been here a few times to celebrate, it doesn’t disappoint.

This is my second time coming here and they truly do not disappoint. The small plates, and entrees have all been phenomenal!!! The homemade bread is amazing, and the stone oven chicken and lamb were amazing! I also really enjoyed the pomegranate sangria, and the mussles were a hgihlight of the whole meal for me. The service at this location is also excellent, for example, when I said my sangria tasted different than my girlfriend's, the waiter brought me a new glass from a fresher batch of sangria!

Amazing experience we made reservations for 6.15 pm but arrived early was seated imediatly.but not before been asked if was special occasion I told them it was my birthday celebrating early. Our server was Alex he was fantastic we order small small plate including roasted artichoke that was so good also calamari and lamb husband ordered the chicken I ordered the salmon. Our food came out quickly and all of it was so good. They even brought me a birthday cheesecake. Will definitely be going back

Celebrated a son’s birthday at Under the Cork Tree and was very impressed with our experience. They had an incredible list of small plates to choose from as well as a nice selection of entree size meals. We went the small plate route and all of our plates were happily shared winners. The portion size of each of the small plates was generous which made sharing among our party of 4 easy. The boys had the smoked old fashioned while I had a vodka gimlet. The gimlet left a lot to be desired as it was made with a mix rather than fresh lime juice but there was a second round of the Old Fashioned ordered. The environment was comfortable; offering indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations can be made through Open Table.

My aunt, cousin and myself went to brunch at Under The Cork Tree on Sunday afternoon. Originally we had our hearts set on Tupelo Honey but realized that the Atlanta location had permanently closed and we didn't feel like driving to Chattanooga which led us to this hidden gem. It was our first time at this restaurant and when we walked in we were greeted with friendly staff members with smiling faces. The ambiance was very relaxed for a Sunday afternoon. It was Probably one of the only resturant's where you didn't need to make a reservation for brunch ahead of time. Despite the fact that It was raining outside the entire staff made the experience feel cozy, warm and like you were going to a families house for a meal. We had La'Shawn or as he calls himself Chef LA as our waiter and his knowledge of the menu was remarkable.I could see how passionate he was when It came to food and we got to experience that passion from some of his favorite dishes he suggested on the menu. Our water cups and wine glasses were never left empty and we never had to ask for a refill. That is a sign of how you know a good waiter. Even though there were a few other tables in the restaurant La'Shawn and the staff made the entire experience feel like we were VIP's. The staff was very attentive making sure everything tasted well from the appetizers we sampled (salted cod croquettes) highly recommend!! I got the steak and eggs and It was hands down the most delicious meal I have had. The steak was cooked right and the flavor in what you think is a simple meal was off the charts. Even though one meal was ordered wrong they were apologetic explained what happened and were quick to fix It. The transparency is something I applaud them for. Let's face It shit happens, people make mistakes, we're human It happens. They got the meal out quickly and that minor blimp never took away from our experience. We were having such a nice time eating the food that we never even thought to look at the dessert menu until La'Shawn brought It up. Again telling us his favorites and letting us pick for ourselves. La'Shawn was both personable and professional. Even though we just met him that day It felt like I had known him a lot longer. He made the experience what It was. We will be back for another Sunday brunch and will even make It in to see the dinner menu. I encourage you to try this hidden gem you will not be disappointed. :)

I came to have dinner with a friend and this place was great. The hostess greeted me and was very nice and pleasant. The waitress was very efficient and she gave us the space to have a conversation without interrupting us every other second. I was seated promptly and the waitress came over right away. We ordered a charcuterie board, patatas bravas, octopus and something else that I can't think of (I forgot to take pictures). I know, I am sorry! The charcuterie board was phenomenal and it had a little of everything. In all honesty, if you are not that hungry, that will suffice your hunger. The octopus was great and very tasty with a kick. If you want to explore your wild side, I suggest that you order this tapas. The other thing that we ordered was the patatas bravas and they were very spicy for our taste so we did not eat many of them. The restaurant over all is very clean, up top date, sophisticated and very nice. I am giving a 4 **** because they let a dog (NO SERVICE/NOT EMOTIONAL SUPPORT) in the restaurant to make it to the patio and I found it gross as dogs are animals even when we treat them like humans. I have a dog too, I love dogs and I don't like to bring her to restaurants to respect the entity, the cleanliness and the personal space of other people.

We went for brunch on Mother's Day. They were serving their regular menu and we had the brunch items. My kids shared the French toast which was perfect for them. We almost offered 2 separate plates but luckily the server said that it's big enough for them to share. They each had a piece of French toast. The Shakshuka was amazing and the bread that came on the side for dipping was delicious. My husband was jealous of my order because it was the best! The place is not as big as I thought but it's still really pretty inside. It wasn't too loud either. They do have street lot but if there's no room there's a parking deck. Overall it was great!

My husband and I went to brunch at Under the Cork Tree as part of a press trip to Sandy Springs. [gifted experience, but thoughts are my own] Staff was super friendly when we arrived, and seated us on their cute patio. Located in a strip mall location, you might be surprised by the charm. It feels like a quiet escape from the nearby highway. They offer brunch cocktails and a large menu of everything from charcuterie to greek donuts to the Basque breakfast. Look, you might be thinking: Fish for breakfast?! Just order it. It's savory and delicious. Of course, to satisfy your sweet tooth, get the Greek donuts. They bake their breads in house and these are perfectly crispy and puffy. Honestly, just incredible. Definitely a great brunch experience in Sandy Springs!

A wonderful evening! Great atmosphere, top-notch service (thank you Niles!) and very tasty tapas. This was our first time dining here, and they exceeded our expectations. The Sangria Roja was so much better than what I had expected!

Unfortunately, the food was salty and lacked flavor. The warm olives were anything but warm. The steak was salty. The seafood paella was the awful. It was mushy and the seafood was fishy. We ate a quarter of the dish... None of the dishes came with utensils; had to ask for a spoon for the paella; of course had to wait 5 minutes to flag down our waitress. And another 5 minutes to bring the spoon... Service was awful; our waitress was very flaky and disheveled. And to top it all off... she adjusted our tip; almost tripled the amount we had given her. She was lucky we gave her tip. Very disappointed by this place.

We've been here for dinner and brunch and it has been incredible both times! Delicious tapas, wine & dessert. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has great lighting. Great for a date night or celebration! Sarah was wonderful.

Work related dinner experience was amazing! Host & servers were equally welcoming. We started with charcuterie boards (pic not provided) great options! Appetizing food display. Scallops were really good! Mediterranean style salad (pic not provided) was delicious. The dessert had different textures but overall filled my sweet tooth.

I love a restaurant that actually reads the reservations comments and goes out of their way to make your experience an outstanding one. That's exactly what the team at Under The Cork Tree did for my friend's birthday making it that much more special. Upon her arrival, the manager came over and personally greeted her, wished her a happy birthday and thanked her for choosing to celebrate at their establishment. That was pretty much how the rest of the dining experience went...Attentive service which we appreciated. Special shout out to Marco who took great care of us that evening! Must haves: Mini Grilled Cheese & Apple Salad, Brussel Sprouts, Tagliatelle Bolognese (they ordered as an appetizer and entrée because they thought it was that good), Frutti de Mare Tagliatelle Arrabbiata, Bone in Ribeye (for the red meat lovers and it can easily feed 3-4).

Wow, they've made quite a few changes to the menu! Unfortunately, my absolute favorite dish has been taken off. Looks like I'll have to discover a new go-to dish from this place.

Oh my! We drove 45 minutes to check this place out, and it did not disappoint. The host was extremely nice and greeted us as we walked into the front door. Our server was very cool, laid back, and knowledgeable about the menu. The seating was a little tight for 9 people, but we made it work. The food was out of this world. So good! I started with the oysters, and they did not disappoint. We got a lot of tapas and everything was so good we ordered it twice. The building probably had one of the cleanest bathrooms I have ever been into. If you're every in the Sandy Springs area, I recommend trying this place. Good Job! $$$$

The food and cocktail I had was superb but it was the fantastic service I really want to applaud them for. From the first greeting when you walk in, to the manager making pleasant conversation, to a rockstar server great with recommendations. This is the kind of service that used to be standard but is now a dying art. Kudos to them for that. Will be back again and again. My highlights were the octopus and the crispy artichokes. But just try everything.

This is a Sandy Springs neighborhood restaurant. Nice ambiance, with comfortable seating, patio option available and a special occasion room for up to 20 people. Great wine options. Some of the better dishes include the wood fired half chicken, trout , hanger steak, broccolini , crispy artichokes are delicious. Paella is popular amongst my friends for sharing ( I have a shellfish allergy). Had some really great meals here. With more consistency I would give it a 4,5

We had a dinner reservation for a party of 8 at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, 8/30/22. There is a free parking lot, but I would get there a bit early to give yourself enough time to find a spot during busy times. Overall, we liked what we got. We stuck with vegetarian dishes. We got Walnut Salad, Caprese Salad, Fig & Farmer's Cheese, Fire Roasted Ratatouille, Spicy Broccolini, Truffle Cacio e Pepe, Crispy Artichokes, and Patatas Bravas. The Walnut Salad was the star of the show. Soooo good. The Truffle Cacio e Pepe was disappointing with not that much flavor. The Fire Roasted Ratatouille was just not that good. Oily, could've used bread. The Patatas Bravas weren't the best I've had. We also got dessert and we were really impressed! The Warm Date Cake was a delight! We were very pleasantly surprised. It looks like it's chocolate, but it wasn't! The Spanish Almond Cake was also really good. The Basque Cheesecake was fine, but the other two were better. Good food, but not the best tapas I've had in Atlanta. Cool atmosphere. Good for a date or for a group of friends.

I arrived for an early dinner to catch up with a friend, and we ended up closing the place down. The staff was attentive, but not pushy (especially as we lingered). Our server was new, but his recommended dishes were on point. We enjoyed everything we ate (and drank). If I was closer, this would certainly be in the regular rotation.

There was plenty of parking, nice ambiance, great service and the food plus cheese board was great! They have a nice setup and there's also a place to have a little party (chef table?)

Delish tapas with a diverse selection. Unfortunately they got our order wrong and we found out it would be another 45 min wait for our seafood paella but the manager and server were very accommodating. The service was top notch and we really enjoyed the environment, drinks, and dessert. Definitely plan on returning in the future!

I don't normally go out for tapas, so I'm not too familiar with this style of restaurant, however I throughly enjoyed my experience! Our server was very friendly and explained the dishes to us very well! I ordered the Burrata and Grapefruit ($14), Truffle Cacio e Pepe ($15), and for dessert, the Dark Chocolate Tart that came with Pistachio Ice Cream ($13). I have actually never tried burrata so this was my very first experience. It came with toast, greens and grapefruit jam. I loved this. The tartness of the grapefruit paired so well with the creaminess of their burrata. The truffle Cacio e Pepe was also good, I cleared all of it. It stuck together some and the truffle flavor was not too prominent, but I think it was still tasty. Now....this dessert...... this was like nothing I have ever had before. Not the tart, but the pistachio ice cream that comes with it is life-changing. I have had my fair share of pistachio ice cream however there was something in this one that made it taste like pure luxury. Please get this if you go please. Also, a round of applause for this decor. I felt so cool sitting in there with the warm lighting, classy vibe, and comfy couch seating. My only complaint was that a couple next to us was violently making out for a very long time...but hey who am I to judge.

Food. It was a mixed review. We ordered 4 dishes and half were disappointing. It's why I only gave 2 stars. When I look back at other ppl's patatas they look so crispy and yummy. Look at mine. Kitchen needs to be more consistent. Shame. Second thing is the foie gras. The menu description is misleading. There's *shavings* of foie gras instead a a medallion or a lobe. So for ppl who love foie this will be a major disappointment. Really need to change the menu description to avoid a 2 star review. Again shame. Now for the other 2 menu items they were superb. Both my friend and I agreed we would order the burrata and the croque madame again. Those items would get 5 stars. Service. It was excellent. Server and manager were stumped when I got my foie and they got my reaction. Manager brought out the torchon of foie to *shave* some more foie on my DESSERT. But it was not what I was looking for when I ordered foie and they were unable to appease me. I commend his attempt. But no cigar. Ambiance. We both enjoyed the patio. I think I can speak for my friend that we will both want to visit Cork Tree again. We just won't order foie or the patatas. We will both be back to try other menu items. But I'll be sure to check what my friends would recommend before a second visit though.

I wish I took a picture but I got the mussels, a salad and bread!!! It was soooo good and I just picked a place to decompress from home and it's really chill and the drink prices are not bad. The food was soooooo good! I will definitely be back for a girls outing. Great customer service and the bread with olive oil was so good! Hands down had won me over thank you so much! I sat at the bar the bartender I had was really sweet I just drank too much to remember his name so I apologize lol

The new menu is quite the adjustment to take in. A lot more options, but I miss the previous offerings. Fish of the Day and the crispy lamb lollies/ribs tapas are gone and they're missed!!! I'd have to say the prices and options match more of an entree style dinner and less fun bites to explore with traditional tapas. The one addition that I really enjoyed was the grilled cheese and the salad. It was some type of walnut apple salad, the salad was average the grilled cheese was scrumptious. Certain price hikes like $11 for a small plate of potatoes is a no go for me. It's worth a return, but Eclipse di Luna has them beat on ambiance and tapas options. They never made the bar more inviting after all these years, but can't miss what was never there.

I had dinner this week at this restaurant with a work group. The service, food, and wine selection was amazing! So many choices and variety of dishes. Highly recommended this place for drinks and dinner if your in the area.

My fiancé and I stumbled upon this restaurant and were blown away by the hospitality and service we received here. We just moved here from Chicago and are still learning the different restaurants around our home. Our server, Ashley, provided us with the best recommendations and was so attentive and kind throughout our entire meal. Charlton, the general manager, stopped by our table and made sure we were enjoying our meal. He also gave us tons of recommendations for different places around our new home. We appreciated the genuine kindness we received here and the food was INCREDIBLE! We will definitely be back!!!!

Cute little restaurant with an interesting menu. My cocktail was light and refreshing. The oysters were good although I didn't care for the cream sauce. Would definitely recommend the octopus. The scallops were perfectly cooked but the squid ink risotto was awful and not something I'd recommend at all. I'm not a fan of dates but since the waiter recommended the date cake I thought I would give it a try and I was not disappointed.

What an awesome spot! It had great ambience, an incredible menu with a range of tapas to paella for the table and everything in between. We got a large seafood paella which was incredible and some tapas to split amongst us. We were celebrating a birthday so we also got some desert and let me just say, do not skip the date cake - the server swore by it and he was not wrong, it was INCREDIBLE and had a sauce that was to die for. The only con was it is a bit pricier but for a special night out with friends or a date night or celebration then I highly recommend!! Will be back for sure.

I love the ambiance, I also liked the space when it was the French Japanese restaurant. I've always had good service here, and the food is good too. They have a nice selection of drinks. I would recommend this place for a date or nicer dinner.

We no longer live in Atlanta but back for a graduation celebration. We had a planned group of 12 in the wine room, set up and organization was easy, informative and great to work with. We have been to this restaurant many times in the past and it was a "go to" when we lived in Sandy Springs. Parking is pkentiful and easy, very nice and relaxed build out, full bar space but the focus is on wine. We started with a toast which was nicely set up, went right into a couple of big charcuterie trays, really tasty and well done, wonderful combinations of cheese, sausage, nuts and a delicious pork pate. Mixed in a few other apps like chicken skewers and bacon wrapped figs all plentiful, perfectly prepared and great starters. Everyone ordered an entre, salad or small plae and I got the mixed meat platter for the table, the food is Mediterranean in style and really satisfying. We finished with a delicious and perfect chocolate cake that was a piece of Art. Service was incredible and the entire experience was perfect and at a very reasonable cost. Can not say enough about the staff and the entire experience. Highly recommend and will repeat whenever back in ATL.

I thought the food was great, service was another story. I would bring people here all the time but I didn't for the last few months because the staff changed. I miss our usual waitress Dominique she always took amazing care of us and made us feel special. Since she left everyone we had hasn't measured up. But the food is still wonderful I'm glad that didn't change much. Might come back, hopefully she will be there again.

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday this year. The ambiance is very romantic. The octopus salad, Brussel sprouts, and chicken was really good. The mussels were okay though. Service was good. Location was good as well

Under the Cork Tree's patio created an excellent environment for our gathering. There were ten of us, and since they did not have tables for large groups or have a table that could be moved together, we separated, so ladies were at one table and men at the other. The heaters kept us warm on the chilly fall night. Each table ordered family style so we could enjoy more food. When eating tapas, I prefer to stay with two plates per person and then add if needed. We ordered the perfect amount of food as we barely had a bite of anything left. There were four of us who shared the beet salad, broccolini, meatballs, calamari, potatoes, fish croquettes and chicken skewers. One of the ladies in our group ordered the cheese sandwich and green salad for herself. My favorite dish was the fish croquettes. It doesn't hurt that I recently had been in the DR and those were my fav food of the trip. They were crispy and lightly breaded with lots of fish and cheese inside. The beets were another favorite dish of the group. I did not have the meatballs, but was told they were good. The Pinot Noir from Oregon was a perfect accompaniment for all the dishes.

Food and drinks were good but service and the way we were rushed out took away from a great girls night. When we asked our waitress for recommendations she just told us "the food is the easiest part of her job and everything is good." Okay, but at least tell us a popular dish or something. We also had to wait a while for drinks to be refilled or for the waitress to come check on us. You do need to order the paella in plenty of time for it to be prepared, and we ordered it first thing when we got our drinks. One paella dish came a good ten minutes before the other so it was awkward waiting on all of our food. What really made us decide to never eat here again though was the way that the manager? treated us and rushed us out. While we were putting away our cards after signing receipts and getting our stuff together he came up to us and asked us how everything was. We told him it was great, thinking that was it. He then said "we'll we've let you stay here and finish your desserts but unfortunately we need to use this table now." Thank you for letting us finish the desserts that we paid for. We were ordering food and drinks the entire time and if they needed the table so urgently then that should've been communicated with our server who could've sped up service. But that comment from the manager was unprofessional and made us regret spending the $$$ we did.

To start ..... This has One of the nicest Staff teams and Managment in the business... Our server Alex was superb and he doubled as our Bartender .. The Chef is a very talented individual and he and his team do an outstanding job !!! The General Manager, Charlton , took the time to come speak to us and he is equally passionate about the food and services he brings to the customers.... I was 100% blown away... a must go.... yes it's worth the trip!!! #yesitsworththetrip

Recommended place to try by a friend. Highly suggested to get the crispy artichokes. And it was a great suggestion. So delicious. Make sure you squeeze the lemon for a little extra flavor. Now my friend also told me to try the cassoulet and that was truly disappointing. A bowl full of beans. Very bland. I tried to spruce it up with some salt and pepper and that didn't help. I'm glad the manager comped it. Still a great vibe and great customer service. I can give them another shot next time I'm in town.

Make sure you have a reservation - especially on the weekend. The tables fills up quickly after 5PM! This is a unique restaurant that offers an array of "common" dishes with an uncommon flair. (Such as - Empanadas made with rabbit ) Take a look at the menu, I am sure there's something for everyone. Pay attention to the details- that's where this place is different than the rest. Is it the greatest ever? Probably not. But it is unique and good! Make a reservation- enjoy the food.

Under the Cork Tree in Atlanta is a hidden gem that exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was transported to a cozy and intimate bistro in the heart of France. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a rustic charm that made me feel right at home. The menu was impressive, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. I started off with the escargot, which was cooked to perfection and served with a delicious garlic butter sauce. For my main course, I had the steak frites and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had! It was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. The fries were also crispy and delicious. The service was top-notch, with the waitstaff being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They were able to make great recommendations and provided excellent service throughout the meal. I highly recommend Under the Cork Tree to anyone looking for a delicious and intimate dining experience. Don't miss out on this hidden gem in Atlanta!

This review is based on only one visit, but everything we had was excellent. I'll start with one of the best cocktails I've had in Atlanta, a perfectly crafted colada with homemade allspice dram and clarified coconut milk. For food we snacked on small plates of Boquerones Toast, Keftedes, Octopus ala Plancha, and Grilled Hanger Steak. All were amazingly flavorful and well balanced. It was great to come back to one of our favorite spots (we loved and miss Joli Kobe) for a wonderful evening.

This restaurant is THE. BOMB.!!!!!!!! dot freaking com. Everything was served in a very intricate, well-oriented and sophisticated way. The filet mignon is to die for, the drinks were amazing and not watered down, and each and every tapa was beyond AMAZING. We came for a very casual night but would be back for many different occasions. Last but not least, our server Gabriel was nothing but attentive, sweet and hilarious! Love it here, would come on a regular day!

Came here for my bday & it was fabulous. The drinks, the food & the atmosphere were awesome. Also reasonably priced for the location, the quality of what you're getting & the overall service/vibe. We did a bunch of the small plates kind of like a tapas deal & it was amazing. They also did a complementary dessert for my bday ! It gets really busy so definitely make a reservation especially on busy days or with large groups. The berrylicious drink was my favorite. This place is a must try!

The food is delicious and service impeccable! This is our go to place for a tapas style meal that has something for everyone! The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. We also enjoy their wine list!

Been here 3 times, loved it the first two but the last time we went, we were in the wine room for a large party and it was just wayyyy too hot. They have stand up fans but they were extremely loud and not efficient. The food was okay but portion sizes were definitely smaller for the large party than we we went the first time. I would come back for a date night but not a large party again.

Under the Cork Tree rates somewhere between three and four stars for me. I thought the food was fine, the atmosphere was nice, and service was good (friendly staff). It's not bad for a nice night out in Sandy Springs. They serve Mediterranean and New American cuisine, tapas, and wine. There's nothing wrong with this place; it's just in a market with lots of great dining options and I may not return for that reason. If you haven't been here, I do think it's worth checking out. My friends have said good things about Under the Cork Tree for a few years now. The restaurant opened in January 2016 in the old Joli Kobe space (RIP: http://bit.ly/2QVZ2qG) at the Prado on busy Roswell Road near I-285. It's just inside the perimeter. Limited parking is available directly outside the restaurant, but plenty of parking is available in the Prado garage (free). Under the Cork Tree is by the same people who own another Sandy Springs Roswell Road restaurant: Hammocks Trading Company (http://bit.ly/2DlGxUI). The two restaurants are completely different. Under the Cork Tree is more in the "fine" dining category. We visited at night. The restaurant was dimly lit and had an intimate, romantic feel to it. Seating in the main dining room is snug and cozy. Servers kept bumping into our chairs as they worked the room. There's a small bar, a private dining/wine room, and an enclosed patio decorated with string lights (heat lamps available in the wintertime). Seating for a few of the tables consists of tufted button leather couches. The kitchen is open and the main interior light fixtures - candle-style circle chandeliers - are cool-looking. At dinnertime, the menu consisted of soups and salads (starting at $7-12 each), wood oven pizzas ($15-19), entrees ($28-40), paella ($28-34; 30-minute prep time), pastas ($19-25), dips ($8-13), tapas ($7-13), cured meats ($15) and cheeses ($11) (combo boards $21 or $26), and Iberian ham ($24). Each category was decently sized with tapas being, by far, the biggest at 21 items. However, the tapas selection didn't really wow us. When dining here, it's recommended to order a bunch of stuff and share. Additionally, a brunch buffet is offered Sundays, 11am-3pm, and costs $24.95 per adult and $12.95 for kids 12 and under. Three of us shared the following: Wine * Bodega Piedra Negra Malbec Reserve 2017 (bottle, $44) Tapas * Patatas Bravas ($7) - crispy fried potatoes with Romesco * Albondigas ($9) - veal and pork meatballs simmered in spicy tomato sauce * Ciccioli ($9) - spicy pulled pork pate, crostini, whole grain mustard, pickled red onion * Octopus a la Plancha ($15) - fingerling potatoes, chorizo, salsa verde * Grilled Prime Hanger Steak ($14) - crispy mushrooms, arugula, spicy chermoula sauce * Wood Oven Roasted Bone Marrow ($8) - charred persimmon jam parsley salad Entree * 10-hour Braised Lamb Shank ($34) - creamy feta cheese, ras el hanout spice, pomegranate-walnut tabbouleh Dip * Hummus bi Tahini ($13) - traditional-style with warm pita and spiced lamb The Piedra Negra was delicious, though it needed to breathe a bit. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I enjoyed it. Like some other restaurants, Under the Cork Tree's wine lists are presented on tablets. In general, the tapas were OK. I can't say I had favorites. They were all equally good. The Patatas Bravas were served in sizable portions. The Romesco was smooth and had an appetizing, nutty flavor to it. The Albondigas were yummy. Jumbo meatballs that were soft, tender, and nicely seasoned. The tomato sauce was full of umami. The Ciccioli didn't look appetizing, nor was its texture great. It was relatively dry and clumpy. However, the flavor was there. Rich and savory. All of the ingredients went well together. The Octopus was par for the course. Not bad. I especially liked the chewy, flavorful bites of chorizo that accompanied it. The Hanger Steak was also fine. Cooked to a mouthwatering medium rare, the slices of steak were tender, juicy, and tasty. The Bone Marrow was disappointing. Inherently, the portions on bone marrow are already small, but these were truly minuscule. We sent it back and got a new bone with portions no better. One serving at $8 yielded what seemed like trace amounts of marrow. If you order the marrow, order one per person. The Lamb Shank was mediocre. Not bad, nothing exceptional about it, just unmemorable. The Hummus bi Tahini with lamb fared better. In fact, it may have been the best thing we had. The pita was fresh, warm, and pillowy. The hummus was relatively rich, smooth, and creamy with distinct, succulent bits of charred lamb. Our server, Craig, and the rest of the staff were great. When we ate here, Under the Cork Tree was available on both OpenTable and Seated. I was able to book our reservation for free using OpenTable and got 100 points *and* I was able to get 21% back using Seated after uploading a picture of our receipt. I immediately redeemed the latter for $40 worth of Amazon discount codes.

Love it here. Food. Atmosphere and service!!! You have to try it! The drinks are great as well.

wow this food was amazing. i went with a group of 5 and i think we tried almost every item and drink off the menu. the highlight of our night was our amazing server Gabriel. as soon as we put an order in, i swear he basically pulled it out of his pocket. he was also funny, and it's nice to have some laughs with the server. i enjoyed every unique dish and the house red was smooth and silky, even though it was $9. i will be coming back as soon as possible and hosting a dinner here.

I hosted an event in their beautifully renovated front space and I can't say enough great things about it! They raise the bar and curated a memorable, classy and top tier atmosphere! Incredible ambiance, the team is classy and the food is SO SO good! It is clear that the Under The Cork Tree restaurant staff cares greatly for the customer experience, thinks about pairings of food and wine plus they want you to have a good time. I would rate them a 20 if I could!!

Under the cork tree is definitely a go to for upscale tapas and a really nice date night in the Atlanta area! It's in a pretty popular shopping complex with a bunch of restaurants, which makes parking a bit challenging during meal times, but there is a deck that has plenty of space if you can't find something in the lot. There's something going on with their reservations system: we had a reservation to sit outdoors, but for some reason they didn't have any outdoor seating when we got there for another 2 hours, so we settled with sitting indoors - not a big deal since it wasn't very busy so we were probably 10 feet away from the nearest table. We started with drinks and I can't remember what the names were, but I would recommend the vodka and berry drink and the tequila drink. We then ordered a bunch of tapas (like almost everything on the menu) and everything was at least a 6/10 with some dishes being complete stars and 10/10. Stand outs: 1. The chicken skewers were seasoned so beautifully and flavor fully and the pickled onions on the top was the perfect texture addition 2. Albondigas were massive and I loved the sauce! 3. The hanger steak was a perfect medium rare and super tender with a great sauce Besides those, we thought the brussels sprouts, octopus, cacio e pepe, and patatas bravas were good. The only two dishes I wouldn't get again were the bone marrow (a little pricey for the small amount you got) and the ribs (they were a little over cooked). For the pricing, it's pretty standard to Barcelona, but a little more expensive than Eclipse di Luna, which are the two other big tapas restaurants in Atlanta. It is decorated more beautifully than both of them though, so if you like the Instagram aesthetic of restaurants, this place wins that!

This place is absolutely adorable! The small plates were perfect and the drinks were amazing. I definitely recommend the octopus!

Under the Cork Tree is a cute tapas restaurant in Sandy Springs! We were able to make a reservation for outdoor seating on Open Table. We did have to still wait a little bit once we got there, but it wasn't too long. This restaurant is definitely on the pricier end of tapas restaurants, but the food was good! My boyfriend was absolutely in love with the Lamb Mergeuz; he even got an order to go! My favorite part was the cheese plate, which we got with Manchego cheese. I loved the combination of cheese, crispy bread, dates, and almonds. I'm picky when it comes to meat and since they didn't have any chicken breast options, I did feel a little limited on menu items I could order. While I'm not usually a pasta person, I ordered the Truffle Cacio e Pepe, as I was hungry and didn't know what else to order besides the brussel sprouts. The pasta was very good, but $13 for a small plate of pasta without any meat or veggies is pretty steep. $10 for a bowl of brussel sprouts also seemed unreasonable to me. Overall, we enjoyed our experience with my boyfriend loving all the meat dishes he ordered, including the lamb, steak, and chicken. And while I also thought the food was good, I did think the tapas were overpriced and limited in non-meat options, which might deter me from wanting to return. If you're okay with the higher price and like trying different meats, I would recommend giving this restaurant a try!

Really, really good. The ambience is fantastic- love both the indoor and outdoor seating, and the service is always great. I think I've had just about everything on the menu here (drinks and food) and have never once been disappointed. Definitely recommend the lamb merguez, cacio e Pepe, and all the salads. The cheesecake is also awesome. They even serve a specialty smoked Manhattan that has a really cool presentation when they bring it out to you. Great spot for date night or just a nice evening out. Highly recommended.

I've been here like 3 times and have loved it every single time. Every single dish is so unique and executed perfectly. Our last visit included : chicken satay (moist and flavorful), the cacio e Pepe was incredibly fresh and I would bathe in it, fried artichokes- sooooo surprisingly delicious with tang and no sogginess, rounds of coffee drinks, and of course, dessert. I think I have a new dessert every time I come but love the artistic approach to it everyone. If the weather permits, the patio seating is a fantastic vibe. Hubs is already talking about when we'll visit again!

I am sorry to give this restaurant a low rating as past experiences have definitely been better. However, consistency is important!!! What went wrong? First the bouillabaisse smelled fishy. Fresh seafood does not smell that strong. The medjool dates were way too salty. The albondigas which we have had before and liked was just ok this time. The watermelon feta salad had overripe melon. The hanger steak, cacio e pepe, artichokes, and cheesecake were underwhelming. What went right? All agreed that the walnut salad and calamari was delicious. There could have been more sauce on the calamari or perhaps on the side. The service was good and the ambiance and setting nice. If this experience is to be the norm in the future, I would recommend finding another restaurant.
