What People Are Saying About Food Studio

The Scene
Dark and sexy, the restaurant is a big draw with well-dressed in-towners on their way to the theater or a gallery opening. Ancient machinery from the building's days as a manufacturing plant hangs from the ceiling; exposed brick, a romantic little fireplace, a copper-plated staircase and dozens of flickering candles give the large main dining room a subdued, calming vibe. Though big groups are common, noise is rarely a problem. Servers have polish and panache.
The Food
The playful menu focuses on seasonal ingredients. For starters, try a light composition of crab and avocado in cucumber vichyssoise or a dazzling arugula salad with house-smoked salmon and ripe cantaloupe. Entrees can be less successful, but change on a regular basis. Smoked Niman Ranch pork, for example, is a bit dry and poorly matched with succotash drowned in barbecue sauce. The wine list is full of offbeat, enticing choices.

Not to big on the menu bust this spot is a cool little hide out in King;s Plow. Maybe cool for a first date by it being so quite. The decor is different and refreshing. Too pricey for the food.

Trendy atmosphere, creative menu selection, good quality food, large wine list.... BUT it took 25 minutes to get water and wine served, nearly drank the whole bottle of wine before entree arrived ("mishap" in the kitchen), had to flag down server--who performed dual duty as bartender that night--several times since he was unavailable to check in with us. Staff was courteous but appeared to be overworked. We expected a better experience for $150+ meal, not to mention there were only 7 other tables occupied the night we dined. Suggestion--perhaps, try lunch before committing to dinner!

A group of us visited Food Studio on a recent Saturday night. We started our evening at the bar but the bar staff seemed a bit over whelmed where we had difficulty getting service. The wine selection at the bar was decent with a number of selections at different price points. We were surprised to see Food Studio was offering a fixed course special that evening offering three courses for $25. This ended up being a tremendous deal. The quality of the food was excellent and the portions seem to be "normal" in size. This was a very pleasant surprise considering some of the lackluster meals we have of late during the Atlanta restaurant week at similar establishments. Give some kudos to Food Studio here. I had a hanger steak appetizer and Monk fish entree that were both very good. Dessert was so-so (fig pastry) but the table though the apple turnover was good. Our server was friendly but had a few challenges. Hopefully this isn't the norm for such an establishment. The space is amazing and is probably worth a meal on its own. Great place for a data or small gathering. Overall, I would recommend visiting Food studio again especially if they offer another promotion.
