"I really like this restaurant before the remodel. The food was and still is good but the ambiance was better. Now it is like a hotel bar restaurant whereas before it was a restaurant that happened to be in a hotel. The patio view was so neat over Peachtree and I just like it a lot better. Breakfast is now a buffet instead on off a menu which was also disappointing (but still good). I would go here if I was staying at the hotel but for the price if I was looking for a good restaurant I would go else where."

"My wife and I went here for our first anniversary dinner, expecting to find a nice, quiet restaurant, and we certainly did! The host was very kind and checked on us multiple times, asked how the food was, the mixer asked how my wife's drink was, and the waitress was very helpful. Our food was straight from the kitchen hot, just like we liked it, and we even received complimentary glasses of wine because it was our first anniversary. We will definitely be back! What a great experience!"

"I met someone here for a business meeting. There were so many disappointments: I had to pay to valet, the food was less than mediocre, and the waitress forgot us... Our drinks were not refilled, we were not asked how the meal was (which was dismal and overpriced), and I had to ask for an itemized receipt, which took 15 minutes."

"I usually love Terrace Bistro and recommended it to my boss as a place to take our co-worker who is about to have a baby. on previous occasions I have sat in the upstairs dinng room on on the terrace and has a lovely experience, however not this time. Despite making a reservation, they sat us in the lower level, which felt like an cramped, over flow room, next to two very loud tables and then brought all of us the wrong food and the wrong bill.
It was not the special lunch, I was expecting and had recommended and instead we felt like a left over thought. I'm not sure if I would recommend this again, it was not up to par with what I expected.
However, food was delicious, despite being incorrect and the server was nice and friendly."

"The food was excellent. Our waitress was very nice. Problem was that it was the Finjal Four weekend and they were very understaffed. We had to wait 90 minutes for our order and ended up getting our own drinks at the bar..
In spite of that, the manager was very nice. He came over several times apologizing and even helped with the service many times. Our waitress, LaToya, could not have been nicer.
So, I think on a normal day this place is probably outstanding. However, they need to plan better for large events."

"We were there on the day of the national ncaa finals.
They were out of about five different kinds of beer and some food
Didnt seem prepared to handle the crowds. We didnt have to wait for our table which was great
Took a long time to get our food but the shrimp & grits were great."

"We enjoyed our experience. The plates were attractive, and the food was well prepared. The servings were a bit large, and we hated to see such good food wasted (going to theatre and could not keep)."

"The Terrace Bistro has always been one of my favorites. Unfortunately, they have closed the upstairs and now call the bar area the restaurant. The kitchen is still upstairs so they now have to bring the food down (uncovered) on the elevator. YUCK! The service was terrible-- 30 minutes to get a dessert that we had to send back due to theater tickets. They couldn't have cared less. With so many great restaurants in Atlanta, I am marking this one off my list."

"The food was great. I ordered crab cakes with sauté' mustard greens (delicious).
The soup was butternut squash (correct spices and consistency). I would recommend as a dining source for a hotel patron.
The waitress and bar tender were attentive to my needs."

"The food and service were outstanding! However, the atmosphere left much to be desired. The restaurant had a feel of a hotel bar. We decided to eat on the patio, but the loud sound of the hotel dryers next to us made it difficult for conversation."
