Cook Hall - Atlanta

Cook Hall is a unique and modern take on an American gastropub, serving as the primary public food and beverage space and center of activity of the hotel. A bar-centric food hall where handcrafted cocktails are stirred, brews are drawn and small plates are passed, encouraging guests to share and engage. Cook Hall features regional American fare comprised of familiar comfort foods, updated and refined for the modern diner’s palate.
The menu focuses on shareable small-plates, which encourage groups to socialize in a convivial atmosphere. Cook Hall cocktail kits are available for guests to swizzle, stir and shake things up at their table.

"I have been here for dinner and brunch. I took my brother who is a big foodie. He loved it! I took my mom here for brunch on Mother's Day and she loved it. They even gave her a cute chocolate basil plant for Mother's Day, which was just a sweet touch. I can't wait to take my mom back for dinner.
Dinner - try the chicken with a little of their homemade hot sauce...yum yum
Brunch - the french toast is amazing, but I would skip the grits

"Perfect place to catch up with friends - the food is great for sharing and everything is delicious! Love the crab deviled eggs and the desserts are great too! The bar puts out great drinks as well! Definitely worth the drive to Buckhead"

"My first visit to Cook Hall was with an old friend, who once worked with their executive chef. I thought that we had received preferential treatment, until I came back for my anniversary last week. We received complementary champagne on arrival, our server was fantastic & had a great personality & sense of humor. Our food was great & the best part? Watching my girlfriend create her own cocktails via Cook Hall's fantastic bar option to be your own bartender at the table. Our server brought our spirit of choice, along with fruit, soda, tictures, home made fruit syrups & fresh herbs from their garden along with all of the necessities needed to mix a drink. they even provide a notebook with some recipes from other patrons. Perfect night!!"

"Cook hall has an amazing menu. This is a date spot for us and we enjoy the portion size and ability to sample multiple dishes in one meal. We ordered the cheese, fruit, and nut plate as a starter, which was fantastic! Then for our meal we had the red snapper and crispy chicken. The snapper was paired with an amazing beet relish complimenting the fish perfectly! The crispy chicken, though a little drier than I preferred had a fantastic peppery crust that made you want to keep going back for more! We also sampled the broccoli rabe, which was sautéed with garlic, grapes, almond slivers, and topped with a little cheese. It was amazing! Our server recommended. Great white wine to go with our meal and it was fantastic! Definitely a must try!"

"I wish there will be more stars because these guys deserve all the praise for what they do. My husband and I love this place and go there all the time. The customer service is one of the best I have ever experienced-- and I am a tough judge. Jackie, Abby, Zack are amazing and they make everything look effortless. They seem happy working there and want you to have the best experience ever. The chef deserves a separate chapter, not only he apologizes if your food is a bit late, sending a nice treat his creations are fun, incredibly tasty and reasonably priced. The music is nice and not over the top loud. What else can I say -- it is just our favorite spot for a casual, delicious dinner surrounded by excellent service. Go Cook Hall!"

"All of the food that my party ate at the restaurant was delicious. I highly recommend the flatbread with the homemade ricotta and honey. The concept here is to be shared plates but it didn't really seem that way from the "plates" menu that were slightly larger dishes. Overall, I would recommend Cook Hall but more for drinks and snacks than dinner. Do try the Nutella Torte!"
