Best Thanksgiving experience our family has ever had. The ambience in the room was warm, friendly and comfortable. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. The only wrong choice you can make on the menu is a pistachio dessert that is served in a puff pastry that looks like a bagel. I can honestly say I don’t think I have ever ordered a dessert and not eaten it because it just wasn’t good. Had no flavor and didn’t present well either. Everyone else’s desserts were amazing and we all shared. Hoping to make Atlas a new Thanksgiving tradition l.

The Garden Room is a once in a lifetime experience! It was well worth going to see the atmosphere and taste the food. Make sure to try the Le Vie Rose for dessert. The presentation is not to be missed. The waitress and staff went way above expectations to make sure everything was perfect. The only drawback is the prices. Definitely worth it for a special occasion. Just realize the portions will be small and expensive.

We have been to Saints + Council twice and both times were excellent. Our first visit was before going across the street to the Atlanta Symphony. The second was with our out of town guests. The ambiance was great. The food was excellent. Yousef, our waiter, did a very good job explaining the menu and making recommendations. We will go again.

First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .
