Nice atmosphere. Limited Selection

by NicFeliccia

The menu is short, one page. I really didn't find anything I liked on the main course list. However, I found 2 appetizers, and my wife found one and they were large enough for the 3 of us to make a meal out of.

• Pros: Good food, service and atmosphere
• Cons: Limited Selection

AWFUL!

by katya78

Went there on a Thursday night with girlfriends. There was a speed dating event there and the place was understaffed. We ordered some pinot grigio- they didn't have any. I ordered Ketel One and tonic-they didn't have that. We ordered calamari and hummus off the appetizer menu...sure enough they didn't have calamari. We got something else instead and 2 portions were brought when we only ordered one. Hummus was absolutely atrocious! Like chick peas mashed straight out of the can, no seasoning. And on top of that Ranch dressing that they dared calling "cucumber sauce"- Gross!! We were asked if we wanted additional pita bread. We agreed, but it didn't come for a long time. We got it with our check. The bartender girl was new but she did the best she could with the situation and was actually pleasant. She was bartending and waiting tables and no one else helped her. All 3 of us were given $10 certificates off our next visit, which we'll never use. This is absolutely the worst restaurant I've ever been to. It was so bad, i went to Crystal's and got a couple of chicks just to get that Hummus taste out of my mouth. If you want Mediterranean in that neighborhood, go to Basil's, it's just around the corner.

• Pros: Cute place, has potential.
• Cons: Grossly mismanaged. Food is bad, bar is not stocked.

Sunday mamosa in a great atmosphere, that's here!!

by bigbertha73

SO CUTE!! I was actually looking for another place on the same street and it wasn't there and I found this place. All though it wasn't very busy it made for a very plesant Sunday brunch for my friends and I! We sat outside where the owner and it looked to be his wife were taking care of the landscape. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing you decide but, it did not bother us at all. Actually you could tell they put alot of time and take alot of pride in this place! The owner was actually the one who sereved us our food and checked on us as well. Our server was good too! The french toast and shrimp and grits were great! I liked the shrimp and grits here better than Bricktops! Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it for sure especially for Sunday mamosas. I can't wait to go back when the leaves start to change colors!!

• Pros: Parking, outdoor patio, location, FOOD

Great atmosphere and attentive customer service

by GeeGi

What a find off the beaten path! My husband and I were staying at a 4 star hotel downtown and mentioned to our driver we had read a nice review on Mosaics. The driver commented he had met the new owner and also recommended the restaurant. Quite a cozy candlelit atmosphere! The entire staff was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine pairing. We met chef Darryl because we so enjoyed the night's appetizer - spicy tuna sushi and the main courses of lobster ravioli and his trout dish. It was so nice to have a personal touch and service with a smile! Definitely returning for the Sunday Brunch everyone is talking about.

• Pros: atmosphere, parking, attentive service
• Cons: not open for lunch on Saturday

excellent service, good food

by normancat

I've had two special occasion, one dinner and one brunch here and both turned out very nicely. The meal and wine were really good, and our servers were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Mosaic is a nice spot for a low key date or family dinner.

• Pros: Great service good food parking

Great Hidden Buckhead Restaurant

by axa34

Just went to Mosaic for the first time last night with my wife and we had a fantastic evening. First of all the place is very charming as it very much is like walking into someone's house for a meal. We were seated very promptly and were treated great. We started with the lobster bisque and the kobe beef sliders with brie cheese. The soup was pretty tasty but the sliders were amazing! I highly recommend them. My wife had the salmon with brussel sprouts and I had the Shrimp Scampi with linguine. While the salmon was very good I have never had better tasting sprouts. It actually made the meal. My shrimp scampi was a bit vinegary for me but still quite good. I was impressed with the number of shrimp in my meal. The service was outstanding and very personable. We will definitely be back.

• Pros: Service, food, patio

Worst Ding Experience EVER

by mrmessy

The food was decent but overshadowed by the extremely horrible service. A large birthday brunch group was told that there was no salad for brunch. So, we ordered and one of the items was the Mosaic "Omelette". The food took a long time to come out and it ended up being cold. The last person served was given the "Mosaic "salad", thought they didn't have salads. When told that the order was wrong, the waiter looked at a few others in our group that had the Mosaic Omelette and said that someone must have taken the wrong dish. And he said this out loud. We asked for the manager and about 10 minutes later, the sous chef came out, heard the complaint, and then he asked " What do you want me to do about it?" How about an apology for starters. Obviously, there was no manager. The Kitchen doesn't manage the back AND the front in any restaurant, EVER. It was a pity, because the omelette was pretty good when it's hot. It may be a decent place to go with a small group. But what could have been a great birthday brunch turned out to be the worst dining experience anyone has ever had. My advice is to avoid it and spend your hard earned money somewhere they appreciate their customers. Good food and good SERVICE is not a hard thing to find in Atlanta, but extremely hard to find in Mosaic.

If I could give it no stars I would.

• Pros: Intimate dining place
• Cons: Poor Service

Our favorite date spot!

by taga

My husband and I love Mosaic! This is the restaurant we go to when we're in the mood for an intimate, relaxing date night. We have always had wonderful service! The waiters always give excellent suggestions on food. The drinks are always great...I love the pear martini they have! They also have a great espresso martini - the perfect after dinner drink! I would highly recommend this restaurant whether you are a couple, going out as a family, or going out with coworkers. Also - Thursday's are great - they have live music playing outside!

• Pros: Food, atmosphere, service, drinks
