Nice Little Place

by BNSupra

We went for dinner during Downtown Restaurant Week. They offered a three course meal for $25 p/person. Some standouts were the crab cake appetizer, the Sauteed shrimp and mussels, linguini with tomato basil, and Churrasco steak with creamy potatoes and fresh vegetables. The jumbo crab cake was rich and succulent with a fresh mango salsa topping. Although the seafood pasta was large it was lacking flavor. However, the seafood itself was seasoned and cooked well. The pasta sauce could have faired well with some cream and spices. The steak was cooked perfectly. Some items were mediocre such as the side of veggies, potatoes, and desserts such as chocolate mousse. Service was wonderful and it's a great little spot with good live music.

• Pros: Portions, price, variety of food
• Cons: After live band leaves mediocre music takes over

Excellent!

The freshest food for the best price! Had my cards read several times after a long day at work and a martini or glass of wine. The employees are like family to all that come in and give the best of service. They know your name if you are a regular and always provide good conversation at the bar. My favorite picks are : mussels, catch of the day, fish tacos (best seller and only about 8 bucks!) and the mojito. Parking is free and the Belly is a great place to unwind after a long day. They have specials almost every day, like: Monday (ladies night, free small meal), Tuesday (Ladies free drinks from 10:30-?), Wednesday (all you can eat tapas for $10) and more! Take a night and discover the Gypsie kitchen family at Django- you'll be a regular after one taste!

• Pros: Free parking, great fresh food, atmosphere
• Cons: The rolls!

Decent food but horrible service

by life311

I was embaressed when I brought out of town guests to this restaurant as I tried Django for the first time. Our waiter did seem friendly, but it was obvious this was either his first experience as a waiter or just really should not be a waiter. After waiting close to 30 minutes after placing our appeitizers, I questioned our waiter on when they might arrive. He responded telling me he didn't enter the appetizers until after our orders, so they are going to come out at the same time. He didn't apologize or try to rectify the situation. He just said it matter of fact like I should be fine with it. Then our orders all came out and then he brought out the appetizers. He also took about another 30 minutes when we asked for our check.

We got there at around 8:45pm and the restaurant was empty. People didn't start coming in this place until around 10pm. The crowd as all seemed like an after hours for the service clientel.

I really wanted to like this place - and the food was decent - right above chain food, but definetly below exceptional.

Django leaves alot to be desired

• Pros: Its brave enough to be in downtown Atlanta.
• Cons: Service
