Update: My fave ATL late night dinner spot is BACK!! They closed during COVID and I was afraid they were gone indefinitely. However, I looked them up recently “just cuz” and they are open AGAIN! Looking for a quiet date night spot, from 10pm - 2am, here is your spot! Fresh new menu everyday and the vibe is just right. Love The Eclectic atmosphere here, I hear that it's another restaurant during the daytime. I tried the Spanish octopus and was highly satisfied. This place is a bit pricey, but a great late night dinner spot especially if you have a hot date

Chilled laid back spot. Tatiana the bartender was really cool and made strong drinks. It’s a plus you get free hookah at the bar with drinks or food.

Great service! Warm ambience (slightly too dark to see your food, but not enough to be truly bothered by it), good food! Tried one of everything on tonight’s menu

I wish I had more photos of food but the courses they have taste too good to wait. This dish pictured is smoked trout topped with salmon roe and green goddess dressing on the plate. Each dish is greatly complex yet so simple, it's a treat to eat here. There aren't too many tables but it doesn't feel crowded. The bar is nice and has equally whimsical drink specials.

It’s a neighborhood bar inside of a restaurant. It opens after the restaurant closes. A little confusing. Food is adventurous. Atmosphere is hip and cool. The service is great. It is a hidden jewel. The prices are not bad at all. Opens at 10:00pm to 2:00am. Perfect place to stop in after going out.

Came with a few friends after a game to hang out. Got seated immediately. Vibe was chill and music list was a vibe too. From Afro beats to r&b it set the vibe for real. Service was great from Asmaa and she was so attentive and made sure we were good at all times. I'll definitely be back. They have valet parking at entrance.
