Astonishingly Good!

by datlaw214

I had a reservation for 12, and it couldn't have gone better. The food was out in a reasonable amount of time, and our drinks were plentiful. The sushi was excellent, and the atmosphere was classy. I'll be going back soon.

• Pros: Great sushi and the best service in town!
• Cons: Can get busy, but it's understandable.

I go for the drinks!

by travelbugg1980

I go to Steel for the drinks. Yes they have a great selection of sushi (or so I am told by my friends who dine there.) And yes you can get other Pan-Asian cusine if sushi is not your thing. But-- I never go to Steel to eat... the drinks are fabulous and creative, so I go to drink!! Cucumber Martini's and Blackberry Mijitos...lots of fresh, unusual cocktails in a very cool atmosphere. And the Happy-Hour specials are fair. That's what I like!

• Pros: Bartenders know their stuff!
• Cons: Not cheap--but most people know that already.

Inventive sushi and great atmosophere

by jenajoli

There are certainly quite a few great sushi joints in Atlanta, but what sets Steel apart is that it is also a great restaurant. The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, the sushi is delicious and unique, and the bar is a great place to hang out with $5 Ketel One and soda and a sushi roll. The entire restaurant has a great vibe (check out the water wall!) and it's also a good place to take non-sushi eaters because they have rice bowls and other Asian-inspired entrees in addition to the extensive sushi menu. The chocolate volcano cake is deserving of the name: it's a dense, hot, and dangerous way to complete a meal!

• Pros: $5 Ketel One Cocktails

Delicious!

by Lalune180

I went to Steel recently with a large group of friends. When I go to a restaurant with a large group, I'm always nervous that the service won't be able to keep up... but that wasn't the case with Steel. The server was friendly, professional and all of our food came out in a timely manner. The chef even came to say hello to our table at one point.

Our appetizers were delicious- I almost ate too much before my dinner arrived. For my main meal, I had the sea bass. I love sea bass and this one didn't disappoint. It was very good! I only had sushi as an appetizer, but that small sampling was delicious enough that I'll be back for a sushi dinner soon.

• Pros: Very fresh!
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

FIVE STARS FOR STEEL

by BROUSSELLE

I've been here two times now. Each time, we had the best experience for dinner. Started off with some great appetizers (highly recommend the Calamari); followed by even better entrees. The wait staff is extremely professional and accomodating. Dessert was delicious!! Great place for a girl's night or a date. The second time I brought my 4 year old and they specialized her meal for her.

Will be back again!

• Pros: Food and atmoshere was excellent; loved all of it!!!!
• Cons: Non to speak of!

Gorgeous Ambiance! Perfect Hot Spot for Lunch, Happy Hour and a Dinner Date!

by SugarB75

I have tried a lot of Pan Asian/Sushi restaurants in the area, and STEEL IS THE BEST!

The food is fresh and different, always a pleasing surprise to the palette. The cascading waterfall that ends in a pool, surrounded by comfortable seating is the focal point in this fine dining establishment. The bar is a great place to go on for Wednseday night happy hour specials featuring $5 drinks and complimentary sushi. The service is professional and helpful. Parking is free and literally around the corner.

I really enjoy the Bento boxes for lunch. You get a really nice assortment of food with enough left over to save for an early evening snack! For $2 you can get Miso or Hot & Sour soup added on, which is great for when the weather gets a little chilly or rainy. They also have great noodle dishes for only $9. The portions are huge, so there are always leftovers...mmm mmm GOOD!

After work I stop by and enjoy a drink at the bar. It's usually filled with young professionals all looking to unwind. If I wasn't married, it's probably a good place to meet other singles...there was definately some flirting going on..haha. I know that a single/mingle group meets there on Thursdays and/or Saturdays for drinks.

This place is very romantic and offers specialty menus around various holidays. Valentines day is $70/per couple which is a great value considering I think my husband and I spent close to $150 last year someplace else.

The sushi bar is very cool and a great option if you are dining solo. As you sip on a cocktail, you can watch your sushi be freshly prepared.

STEEL is my new favorite restaurant for 2009!

• Pros: Ambience, FREE PARKING, Great Food and Service!
• Cons: Not open on Sunday

We really enjoyed our lunch at Steel. The food was unique and perfectly prepared. Not a single complaint and the sushi was perfect. Nice, nice addition to midtown.

• Pros: excellent food, great service
• Cons: parking - no access from the garage which means hitting the streets!

Truly chic new restaurant and bar in Midtown...Finally!

by tinker1616

My husband and I went on Saturday night with 2 other couples and they sat us in this comfortable and spacious banquette. My husband is a wine enthusiast and was impressed by Steel's extensive wine list and how knowledgeable our server was regarding the wines. Our group started with the edamame wontons, something I could never dream up and they were amazing. We ordered the Volcano Roll which we were able to share. It was a California roll covered with scallops and crawfish and had the most unusual and delicious spicy sauce. I had the sea bass which is my favorite fish and It was one of the best I have ever had. My husband had the mandarin chicken which he enjoyed. One friend had a filet that he loved and we all shared the fried rice. I can't remember what everyone else order, but we all tasted each others plates and were so pleased with our selections. The food's presentation was outstanding and the food was perfectly prepared and seasoned. We were so full but after watching the servers bring out desserts we couldn't resist. We shared the chocolate maki roll and banana egg rolls. They were so unusual and fantastic. We were completely satiated as they served outstanding french press coffee table side. We had a great dining experience without the kids and can't wait for a another triple date night out.

• Pros: The Sea Bass and the beautiful atmosphere Amazing! Also self park or valet in the building's garage.
• Cons: Not for kids and we could have ordered less since the dishes were plentiful
