Endenu

The Scene – Despite its decidedly urban location, the restaurant's decor chiefly invokes natural themes, from the autumnal red and brown color scheme to the stream of water that cascades beneath a glass counter through the hollowed-out bar. The main dining room features an array of intimate tables for four--beware the unyielding wrought iron chairs--and a simple stage. A cozy lounge sits off to the side, along with a patio. The crowd, dominated by artsy urban pioneers and neighborhood loft dwellers, is well served by a warm, gracious, efficient staff. – – The Food –…

A wishful thinking restaurant

by Leila Gravano

Congratulations on this outstanding place. I´m Brazilian and live in the city of Rio de janeiro. Thanks to G. Garvin´s TV show I could know there is a place in Atlanta exactly the way I would like to have in my city. Art, fashion, sophisticated food and drinks and very well decorated. In addition to all these awesome things ...live R&B music! I wish I had Endenu in Rio!

Big Disappointment

by Minstrel

I would love to write a thorough review, if there was something to review. We drove almost an hour to get there....and it was closed! It was a Saturday afternoon and I had heard that it had some pretty good reviews on the drinks and some of the entrees. I had seen a review on TV-1 just the week before. Disappointingly, I can not give you any first-hand info on this restaurant

Endenu is fantastic!

by xman1234

I'm not sure why this restaurant seems to go back and forth from closed to open, but I randomly found out it was open again last night.

The venue is fantastic, the live band amazing. I don't understand why this venue is not completely packed with clientele every weekend, but I highly recommend it. Don't be fooled by the outside, which is very unimpressive, the inside is fantastic and the bartender/servers are great.

Definitively give this place a try. I'll definitively be making it one of my new hangouts.

Pros: venue, decoration, "water bar", outdoor patio, loft feel, service
Cons: They need to market the location more, so that the place gets filled nightly

Endenu is Back!

by AtlantaLocal

It warmed my heart when I was told that Endenu had reopened. I was a frequent visitor back in the day and was looking forward to the great service and even better food when I walked through the door. To my surprise, they appeared to have changed the menu (tapas concept). Never the less, I was hungry and ready to eat. The server recommended I try either the spicy lamb or the pan fried chicken. I decided to go for broke given the low cost (less than 16 bucks for both) and tried both. Simply put.... they were fantastic. After polishing off my meal, I asked the server why the change and he indicated that they were simply trying to freshen up the experience. He also suggested that I stick around for another thirty minutes for the entertainment. Apparently Endenu is offering live music five nights a week now...

Couldn't stay for the music, but will definitely be back soon...

A huge dissapointment on my birthday

by danielleb32

I went with a group of friends for my birthday, after being told that my restaurant of choice was booked all night. We showed up and there was no wait, but the hostess had us choose our own seats. Then, the table wasn't set up, and we had to gather and exchange chairs to find some with cushions and not just uncomfortable metal bars. The decor was beautiful, and I held on to the hope that the restaurant would be good despite the overwhelmingly loud music. We placed our order from the "Soul Fiesta" menu. Our party ordered talapia tacos, a chicken dish, the crab cake(s), and some other Mexican/soul dish. The food was ok, but took over an hour to arrive. The portions were pretty small, and though we aren't big eaters, we all left a bit hungry. My friend was disappointed that he ordered the crab cakes and received only one. When we left, we were almost deaf from the loud music that was unavoidable (whether you sat inside or outside). Perhaps this restaurant wasn't a good fit for my birthday, but I can't imagine it being a good place to eat at any time.
