- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015Their brilliant riff on steak tartare replaces raw beef with chunky cured tomato, made possible by molecular gastronomy. A stunning carrot juice orb poses as egg yolk. You'll never miss the beef. Read more
Have not been in almost 4 years. Glad I decided to revisit. Service is excellent. Lots of great options but the Tostada de Conejo aka roasted rabbit is a must try!
- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015The hulking chuletón (a bone-in rib-eye for two) does the traditional Spanish steak dish proud. Weighing in at 2.2 pounds, it’s slowly cooked on the restaurant’s impressive wood-fire grill. Read more
- Must get the veal cheek! The octopus is also very good. All the dishes were prepared and presented very well, but those two stood out.
Sophia LiuSeptember 29, 2015Had a great time. A variety of tapas, lovely atmosphere. My favorites: the trout and the paella (pictured)!
Melinda HegyiAugust 5, 2017We had a very good time! I thought it was awfully loud at first but then I just kept drinking 🤷🏻♀️overall a lovely experience and will be back!
Chris HintonFebruary 22, 2015It's usually busy, so get a reservation. There's definitely a Basque influence, but not a huge amount of traditional Basque choice. Still, the food and atmosphere is great.- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 14, 2015The menu consists of smaller, tapas-style dishes and larger racciones, created by Landon Thompson, from the restaurant group's other outpost, the Iberian Pig.
Tasting TableMarch 17, 2016In the mood for something meaty? Then Cooks & Soldiers has got you covered! Order up one-kilo of bone-in rib eye to share or a plate of pork tenderloins for one. Read more
Caroline YanceyJuly 21, 2016Get the bikini and their version of pigs in a blanket. You will not regret it. I still dream about it every day!
Alexandre MunhozNovember 8, 2020Good cocktails and wine. Small plates are heavy on garlic. Fideua with cardamom...!?! Wrf
AmyMay 16, 2017Tapas were okay but not out-of-this-world worth the money. The restaurant has a great vibe and beautiful interior.
Waterless MediPedi SpaJuly 11, 2016Nice Vibe and atmosphere. All staff were very friendly from the time walked in until the time you walked out. Food is filling.
Lynn Marie FrancoJune 18, 2015Great atmosphere for a special occasion.... And the food will not disappoint! Can't wait to come back :)
Bonny DragoApril 30, 2017The cucumber gin drink was refreshing, hongos y setas the croquet jambon the meatballs were all great
Ryan De MeloAugust 27, 2015Descent food. My wife and I have been to Spain and the food experience is close enough to the real thing. Extremely friendly staff. On the expensive side.
Michael MegeheeAugust 8, 2015Drinks are craft level with a great take on Spanish Vasque style tapas!
- Alexandre MunhozMarch 15, 2024Such a disappointment. 2nd chance I gave to this place and absolutely nothing was good. Moldy jamon, chewy octopus, salty risotto, garlicky tomato paste. A S* show.
- G JJanuary 2, 2015Do NOT get the chistorra, not real chistorra, more like an Americanized hot dog version...
