"My family and I have been coming to Nikolai's for special occasions almost since 1977 not long after it first opened. Sad to say the decline has been painful to see. While it continues to maintain some of the original atmosphere and ambiance, the quality of the food and service is no longer worth the price. When we visit Nikolai's we do the whole thing: flavored vodkas, caviar plate, wine pairings, etc. whic is about a $600 dinner for two. This visit, the caviar, vodkas, and souffle' were wonderful as usual (although the caviar presentation is somewhat less than it used to be) but sadly that's where the similiarity to the old Nikolia's ends. I hope they spend my money wisely because that was our last visit. Goodbye old friend."

"We have been coming to Nikolai's for more than 25 years. This was the first time we were given a menu. Choosing the Chef's Menu (beef tenderloin)for two of us, the other chose fish. Sharing Nikolai's for the first time with anyone, we brought our daughter and said she was truly impressed. The wait staff was wonderful, quiet and pleasant as the room. Ending our stay at our request he showed our daughter the books that we always enjoyed reading other peoples thoughts as we wrote about our meal. The only thing I would change would be to bring the books back for people to sign again. Thanks for the wonderful memories and continued perfection."

"Beautiful location/view. This is a Russian-influenced restaurant. The menu has hints of it, but it's not Russian cuisine. I had the lobster/curry soup. Outstanding. The lamb was perfectly cooked. The sea bass was great. All four entrees our group had were top notch. The only two slight misteps - the bar on the other side does not have a good wine list (by the glass not good) and our souffles were overcooked. Other than those two, it was a great experience."

I will go as far to say the meal we had was probably the best we have ever had despite dining at other 4 star restaurants across the Nation. We cannot wait to come back!"

"Was quite impressed.
Food was wonderful. And it as a charming experience. Not stuffy. Expanded menu so you are not stuck with a $100+pp fix prix menu. We were given a complimentary desert for our anniversary. And it was the most delicately decorated with edible pink flowers little cake ever!
Dated decor but overall experience was memorable."

"Wow! What a meal! To start, the view of Atlanta is awesome. Our server was amazing - explained dishes, bar offerings, the best way to "toss back" our flavor infused vodka, and was extra kind to our daughter on her big night out.
The food was insane - delicious! We had the five-course Chef's menu, and it exceeded our expectations. The piroshkies were perfect, and we fought over them. The diver scallop in butternut squash soup was heaven (I secretly longed for another bowl). The foie gras perfectly cooked, the cheeses were both of exotic and local offerings (the Rembrandt...mmm). The beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly and so juicy and flavorful. And to top it all off, a beautiful soufflé with grand marnier Creme fraiche."

"Had not been to Nikolai's Roof in over 10 years. Should never have waited that long! The food was fantastic and every bite was packed with flavor. Wonderful selection of flavored vodkas. Souffle' for dessert was light and fluffy and yummy! Great place to take your sweetheart for special occasion. Get a table by the window and enjoy the view."

"First of all. Food was great, I do not regret dining here. but I must admit dining here for anniversary was a big mistake. unlike sundial, Great city view of Atlanta was hard to find, and To be honest if anyones thinking of going here for the view, I recommend someplace else. We only looked at darkside of atlanta. other typical skyscrappers were only viewable from the separated bar which is a smoking zone. I wouldn't say the Host was rude but he was not nice. However, our waiter and waitress was amazing. I must admit they had best service. There was no complimentary drink or desserts or no sprinkles but I really felt comfortable with their service. Food was decent like I mentioned above. But I love how they are more of russian than french."

"I reserved a table at Nikolai's for my anniversary about 3 weeks in advance and really hoped that they would give us a window table, since the view is one of the best in the city and is one of the major reasons I picked this place. To my great disappointment, they put us right in the middle of the room and I did not like that. I've been there before year and a half ago. Compared to previous visit, the food has gotten better. Service still does not quite match the price."

"Nikolai's Roof remains an ATL icon for the most distinguishing foodies. It ranks as one of the top 1/2 dozen meals I've ever eaten along with such classics as French Laundry, Mansions on Turtle Creek, Le Titi de Paris, Chez Paul... Both my husband and I have now chosen to celebrate our 50th BDays here. Worth the wine pairing to get just exactly the right flavor combination with the delectable course selection."

"The food was pretty good. I realize it is traditional, but was dissapointed that the specialty vodkas were only in a shot glass opposed to a drink. Portions were small and expensive but we were not that hungry so that was ok. The food was good though. Our waiter was from a Russian decent and you could tell he liked the traditions in the restaurant so we enjoyed that."

"The food was very good. Everything was obviously made very freshly by a competent chef and team. However, the service was outstanding and that is what will bring me back. For those of you who are looking for excellent service, this is the place to be. We have been all over the city to the top restaurants that Atlanta has to offer. This by far and away had the best service from top to bottom.
Trust me, it makes a difference."

"It has to be tough being a "go to" date night spot for twenty years, but Nikolai's has managed. Old school romance...no nitrogen frozen avocado sprout on corn husk...but meticulously served Tsar themed courses with a flourish and a view of forever. Yes it is expensive and a special treat for this thirty year married couple, but not considering that your dinner includes being teleported to someplace special. We've traveled the world and eaten at some of the best, and I get that styles change. However, I couldn't help but read some of the nasty reviews and chuckle...if a frozen vodka, piroshki and fifty mile view doesn't light up the eyes of your dinner date, it isn't the fault of the restaurant"

"Nickolai's Roof was everything and more than I expected when selecting to dine here for Valentine's Day. The ambiance was great for a romantic dining experience. Food presentation and discrete yet attentive service were just as memorable as the view of the city. The tasting menu was plenty and worth the price."

"Went to Nikolai's for an early Valentine's Day. The atmosphere, the food and service was top notch. It's a bit pricey, but well worth the experience for a special occasion."

"We have been meaning, literally forever, to come here. There's always some "new opening" that thru flash, purported "news" has continually bumped this experience back. But on the occasion of my wife's B-day, we FINALLY got here. I have to say, "bring on the good old days." In an era where "farm to table" & gourmet burger trendiness gets all the headlines, with "chefs" w/ little to no formal training, it was great to be truly pampered by high class waitstaff, and enjoy the opulence (and deliciousness and craft) of a 4 course Continental meal. The quietness, class, formal wear, and gourmet food are such an amazing contrast to a converted wearhouse of 110 decibels w jean-clad wait staff that we have been "taught" is the standard. THANK YOU."

"Quiet, romantic atmosphere and sophisticated. Lovely staff and wonderful food. Delicious appetizers (caviar was fresh and elegant) entrees (trout and beef were moist and full of flavor), yet the bread pudding dessert was a bit dry (we didn't finish it), though the coffees and almond flavor cookies helped us forget."

"Felt like eating authentic French food. Escargot was a bit salty, but the steak was amazingly delicious. The place is very romantic with a scenic view and all the lightings. The only things I did not like were that there was only one other party besides us--which made the restaurant seem too quiet and boring, and that the food were overpriced in general. But I'd say the dishes were absolutely fantastic. Unforgettable taste..."
