Piedmont Park enthusiasts and an established business set make relatively short work of innovative entrees, pastas, salads and sandwiches. Metrotainment Cafes’ flagship opened in 1991 and has been winnings hearts and accolades ever since. Inside each bungalow, luxe décor creates a casual, modish atmosphere, highlighted by stylish lighting and rich wood trim. Outside, a large tree-shaded patio beckons, earning Einstein’s the most votes as “Best Outdoor Dining Experience” year after year. Our award-winning brunch is a local favorite!
"I had been to Einstein's a few times previously, but only for lunch and both times I had sat on the patio. The food is wonderful and the menu is right up my alley. The list of sides is to die for. So when I had two guests in town to Atlanta I thought, I know! I'll impress them with dinner at Einstein's. Unfortunately.... that did not go as planned.
I'll go ahead and say, the food was good. Unfortunately, everything else wasn't. I had never seen the inside of the restaurant. It is a horrible mix of banquet fabrics and booths that look better fit to be at Applebee's. There was a "private party" going on. That space was simply divided by some weird shower curtain looking fabric that didn't hide them at all. And our service was horrible!"

"Food was great as always, and I love the location around Einsteins... tons of bars and other attractions, plus Piedmont Park, right around this area within walking distance. It was pretty crowded on this Saturday night when my group went, so the service was a little slower than usual, but the food and drinks were delicious as always."

"One of my favorite things about Einstein's is its diverse menu. From burgers to small plates to large plates, you can satisfy just about any dining interests. Our server was fun but professional and paid attention to us without overdoing it. Our group of 3 went to Einstein's because they were participating in a benefit for Open Hand Atlanta called Dining Out For Life. So the fact that they also give back to the community was just another bonus. I've been to Einsteins several times, and this time was yet another positive and pleasurable dining experience."

"We love this spot in our midtown neighborhood. Our only complaint on this visit was our booth right behind the bar, so we spent the brunch watch the wait staff work. It was a lot of traffic during our relaxing meal. But otherwise we'll definitely be back. Food was top notch, as usual."

"This is one of the best brunch spots in all of Atlanta. Even for lunch, the food is amazing - service is stellar - and overall, the place is a can't miss. Great outdoor dining, if you want to sit outside, and amazing burgers too!"

"we love sitting outside and people watching - the menu is great and things are either awesome (like the scallops and pimento cheese puppies) or sometimes very wrong (buffalo sprouts) - $5 martinis and great desserts (when they dont run out) - will keep us coming often!"

"Einstein's is one of our favorites for Sunday Brunch. Service was VERY slow this particular time. Waited a while for everyting: bread, meals, check, you name it. HOWEVER, the food was excellent as always and we will be back!"

"We thought this would be a great spot to take out of town guests who were staying at Loews. We had a 6:45 reservation on Friday night (early by Buckhead and Midtown standards). We asked for a quiet table. We were originally seated by the door and it was a cold night and the cold air hit us each time the door opened so we asked to be moved. We were then seated in an interior room. Within 15 minutes, a private party began arriving. We were separated by a curtain. It was so loud that we could not hear our table mates (there were only 4 of us). Our waiter was apologetic. We had a drink, entrees and were out the door. The food was good. The noise was so bad, that we could not enjoy our meal and didn't want to hang around for desert."

"We first dined at Einstein's in 1996...have also loved it. We'd not eaten there, however, in several years. Still love the place, though the waiter was not especially attentive. Had to wave him down to take our order and then was slow on getting the bill to us, etc. Other than that, a great experience!"

"Service mis-steps of forgetting the salads, Makes mediocre food a worse experience. The pollen is bad about two weeks in the spring which makes eating outside. challenge. This place used to be great but something has changed at Einsteins over the years and I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Made a reservation about five days in advance with the request to be away from the bar in a corner for privacy. When we arrived there were two large parties taking up the whole restaurant that I wasn't told about. I would have liked a notice about this since seating became very difficult. We were seated in a tiny table right next to the very loud bar scene. Wasn't happy about it because the table was too small for food.
We were eventually moved to a booth which was much nicer. The dinner was great but my girlfriend's steak was very raw for medium rare. The sides were delicious as always, especially the mashed sweet potatoes. Our server did not know the drink menu very well and had to check the bar more than once to ask questions."

"My husband and I went before a show at the Fox. We had a great meal in efficient time. We ordered several small plates and sides to share. It was our first time and we wanted to try everything! We were also surprised at how inexpensive the bill was."

"I recently had my birthday dinner at Einstein's and had a great experience! This was actually my first time dining at Einstein's, but hearing so many great things about the restaurant I decided to make a reservation. I arrived and the greeter informed me that they had my table ready, and as soon as myself and my party were ready to be seated they would seat us. I had a party of 10, the server was attentive to everyone and made everyone feel comfortable. The everyday $5 drinks were great for my celebration as well! Will definitely be dining here again!"

"The food could have been more flavorful. Their drinks are on point, perhaps they can get their food flavoring to that level again. The service was mediocre at best. This was once, one of my favorite restaurants but not so much anymore."

"My 3-yr old grandson loves the TV show, Little Einsteins.We took him to a concert on Sunday and looked for a nearby restaurant to take him to dinner afterwards. Einstein's sounded perfect and it was. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They have a nice children's menu but any of the small plates would have been good as well. Initially, service was slow even though the restaurant wasn't that busy early evening on a Sunday. But once we were finally waited on, service picked up and was very attentive. The food was nicely presented and ample portions, especially the children's cheeseburger for $5. McDonald's happy meal is not even a close match in substance or value. The shrimp and grits was perfectly seasoned & yummy."

"Service was exceptional. Good was decent. Not overly impressed with our meals (very well may have been our choices). I had the E Street sandwich (similar to monte cristo) and wife had veg plate. Both were ok. Definitely get the pepper jack grits. Those were outstanding."

"We were able to get seated pretty quickly. My group and I had been to two different restaurants prior to coming to Einsteins. My only complaint was it was too noisy. The waiting could hardly hear us to take our order. We also had to talk very loud when having conversations at our table."
