Local Motives - Atlanta

Eating was really good. we had an hour lunch break, so we went to us. the door was closed, but they must go through the hotel entrance.

We chose to dine here due to the limited options in the area, as well as the fact we were attending an event at the hotel. I wish I had read the reviews for this restaurant before we ate here, as I usually do. Those that provide poor ratings share a very similar experience to that which we had. We were advised the menu was only 24 hours old and unfortunately the server had not been fully trained on each of the items. That was a tad frustrating, as he made no effort to find answers to our questions about certain items. Though service was friendly enough, the food took a very long time to come out. This seemed odd, as we were the only people in the entire restaurant. I was also disappointed with the cost for the size of the meals (ie pricey), but worst of all was when my food [a chicken burger] came out fairly lukewarm. When I commented on this to the waiter, he simply walked past and said, as he shrugged, “Oh, I’m sorry.” There was no attempt to rectify the situation or anything. A work colleague also had breakfast here in the morning and experienced very poor service then too — as well as overpriced items. We would not return.

Here on 01-19 at 2:25-2:45. Not only did i never get greeted/seated. I sat at the bar the whole time and didn’t see one employee? In my short 25 years I’ve never seen anything like it.

Delicious food! I had the gnocchi with shrimp and a special derick the bar tender Tenise created for me that was out of this world delicious! My husband had the burger with a special cheese (can’t recall the name) with fries…also amazing.

My buddy and I were in the area and wanted to go somewhere close by after we finished scuba diving at the GA Acquarium and we're actually walking towards Catch 21 when it started to rain. As we were trying to find an alternate place that was high quality we accidently came across this and only went in to avoid walking in the rain. Best accident ever!!!! High quality food, decent prices for what you get and the bartenders we're amazing. We went to ALOT of places during the week we were in Atlanta to try local favorites and each were unique in their own way. Of all places though this place tops them all. Decor of the bar is very contemporary and it's located at the W Hotel across from the Acquarium. The bartenders are true mixoligists! Food was eldente! If I go back there I'll definately go there again and again....it's that good.
