    I found myself in Atlanta on Labor Day when apparently a lot of places are closed. Needed something that was open after 9pm for dinner, I stumbled on Apres Diem. This place is a gem! They have ample outdoor and indoor sitting and a bar and bakery. We sat inside at a cute little booth. The menu is a French theme with Latin and Mediterranean options. Our servers name was Julie and she was a delight. We ordered calamari and the fruit and frontage appetizers that came out very quickly. It set the tone for what turned out to be a very amazing meal. The calamari was typical calamari but the marinara sauce which had a subtle kick to it was really delicious. The fruit and frontage had Brie wrapped in philo dough with honey and slivered almonds over it. It was amazing. I also had a cup of the tomato bisque which had bacon pieces over the top and happen to add excellent flavor to the soup. Our entrees were very quick to follow and just as delicious. Apparently this place has been around for 30 years and I can see why. If I find myself in Atlanta, I will definitely have to stop by again.

    Stopped in just for coffee and ended up getting dessert as well. Service was excellent as was the very delicious cheesecake and cappuccino.

    Needs serious updating, and more importantly, some serious cleaning. The food is very mediocre and overpriced($85 for 2 at lunch no drinks). The gyro wrap ($16) with lukewarm fries was on a plain pita and looked like they had just unthawed the gyro from the freezer. The fish sandwich($16) bread smelled like everything in the kitchen; not fresh. The fish sandwich (Grouper she said?) was lost in between the 2 huge slices of yesterday's ciabatta bread. Crab cakes were good but not amazing at $17, and brie with baguette was $15. The server was great and friendly, however. The restrooms are also completely filthy which makes you wonder how the kitchen is kept 🤔

    This is a very cool place. My friends & I visited while waiting for entry into the Miracle Bar but decided to stay. We found seats @ the bar, of course. We ordered deinks & food. I had no idea this place was here. The ambiance was very cool ams the size is misleading. The place is much bigger than it seems. I ordered the Blackened Chicken Wrap w/Fries - it was very tasty & filling. My drink of choice was Sierra Nevada's Hazy Little Thing IPA, one of my favorites! We spent about 3hrs @ the bar chatting up some nice people around us. I would definitely visit again!

    Ended up there right before close. Was going to Highlander but was too noisy with music that was not pleasant, and I am so glad that I ended up here instead. Crab cakes appetizer and the ravioli of the day was chicken. Entree was delicious and well presented. Make sure you have a look at the desert display. The lady who works the desert section was very friendly and gladly named all the flavors. Nice atmosphere at the location. Server was attentive.

    This was my first time here took my luv to brunch for his birthday. The food, service and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. The brunch food and drinks were delicious from the appetizers, entrée and drinks (crab cakes, fried calamari,waffles, french toast, pecan Sandi, Bombay with lemonade and Shirley temple).They are kid friendly (13 year old) he enjoyed every bite. We will be returning.

    We found this place by accident a year ago. There is a pop up bar next door with a Christmas theme. We went into Apres Diem and ordered the mussels back then. My wife has talked about their mussels for a year. She compares every restaurant we go to, to this place. I asked my wife tonight to go on a date night and I said would you like to go to the place that you love the mussels, and she said yes! It was just like we remembered, amazing! We sat at the bar tonight. Marco and Remy were so attentive. Drinks were on point. The espresso Martini by Marco was the best I've had. Food and atmosphere was out of this world. I asked for the manager to give our feedback. Shannon was apprective to hear such good things, but I can't help belive that she's heard it all before. I can't wait to go back!

    Best experience! The food was super tasty, the ambiance is quaint and quiet and it provides a nice environment for having a nice conversation. Our server Arabella was on top of it. I explained we were in a rush and my food magically appeared within minutes!!!! Not only that, when I was ready to pay, she appeared out of nowhere with my check, as if she was reading my mind. I don't remember going to a restaurant and being waited on like that in a long time. Prices and location are great too!

    I love this place! It has a chill, low-key vibe, great food, various food options, good drinks, and an extensive wine selection in addition to the bar. An obvious go to spot for a full dining experience :)

    The food and the service at Apres Diem is consistently excellent. While many restaurants are suffering trying to get servers, this restaurant consistently has top notch professional servers who make dining a joy! You can't go wrong no matter what you order from the menu.

    We were here 8 years ago…the place only got better with time ! The food was succulent and the service was top notch. The Parisian theme sets the mood for a very romantic evening with so many memories to be made here. Please take time out to visit this wonderful restaurant!

    Went here during my last trip to atlanta and it did not disappoint. I honestly only ended up here because it was one of the few restaurants open past 10pm and we really needed somewhere to eat and thought ‘hey why not give it a try?’ We sat outside and the ambiance was pretty nice! As an appetizer, we ordered the Lobster Crostini and it was sooo good and full of flavor. It came with toasted bread that we dipped in the lemon-butter sauce which made it taste that much better. For my drink, I got the Ube Coloda since it sounded like it’d taste good, but boy was I in for a surprise. In my opinion it was a pretty drink, but very bitter and yuck, im sure some people would like it tho depending on their taste palate. My partner got the Welcome Back Coffee and he said it was good! For my entree, I got the Roasted Chicken (which i typically don’t go for in a restaurant) but my gosh was it divine. It was served with some mashed potatoes in a tasty sauce which brought the whole meal together and was bursting in flavor. I would definitely order that again! My partner got the Salmon Farfalle and said it was some of the best pasta he’s ever had. The only kick was that since we went the so late, they ran out of Salmon so he got the meal with veggies and still very much enjoyed it, so I can only imagine how it’d taste with salmon! Overall this was a great place to eat with amazing food! The service was good and timely too. I wish the drinks tasted better but I would definitely still return here for another meal!

    My husband and I love coming here. It’s a hidden gem in midtown area. Right off the beltline. There is a great ambiance! Food is always delicious! I love the SLOW BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS- I cant do milk so instead of the mashed potatoes I get fries, which do pair well. The fries were a bit like warm /- would be even better if they were served hotter. My husband has tried many dishes over the years - this visit he had the rigatoni which didn’t disappoint. Great outdoor seating! Can bring dogs on patio if you sit along outside edges

    Stopped in after a movie at Landmark Cinemas. The atmosphere and decor is cozy and welcoming. I could see this little place filled with local residence as the menu is varied and reasonably priced. I ordered the salmon pasta with chorizo. Initially, I thought the dish needed salt, but once I had piece of the shaved (not ground) chorizo, I found it perfect. My buddy ordered mussels and was served a ridiculous portion. It literally could have served three people. After sampling a few I agreed that they were very good. Overall, we enjoyed or meal, the setting and service. We'll be back.

    I did uber eats and I was amazed by the quality of the food! Everything came quickly, warm and the flavors were super good. Very generous plate as well. I ordered the short ribs and they have a very nice and tasty sauce.

    I used to regular this place but due to the recent changes, I won't be returning. The last time I visited, I noticed that the parking is now metered and paid. To top that off, I accidentally arrived a few minutes before opening due to their hours changing one day. Only to be aggressively screamed at by one of their staff. It was strange since this was usually a very relaxed and welcoming restaurant prior. Hopefully everyone there is okay. That was a bit scary.

  • 5/5 Mark W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Later night hidden gem. Ample outdoor patio seating with shade and fans start things off right. The wait staff is very friendly and made great recommendations. The pasta dishes were excellent! Large portions, savory flavors, fresh and hot. Definitely will be back.

    Haven’t been here in a very long time but most present visit really reminded me how tasty the food is here. The simple but superb pate and the fried calamari were wonderful starters. We dined from the brunch menu, up to 3 PM. Elly had the sauté shrimp scallops on grits which made her live this style of dish more and has been ordering these at other places to compare. I had the huevos espanola with brunch potatoes, a touch of spicy and salty from the chorizo but went very well with the potatoes. Also shared the waffles that had the best syrup we’ve had in awhile. Our friend came later and ordered from the dinner menu, rigatoni dish that had superb white wine sauce that had a hint of some sort of rich cheese like Camembert. Elly and I definitely will return to experience the dinner menu for ourselves. Wished I remembered to take pictures of our main dishes.

    DO NOT COME TO THIS RACIST AWFUL PLACE!! Food is terrible. How do you mess up Salmon??? Tasted fishy and poorly seasoned. Then when we asked for desert they said they were ready to go and can’t. After my friend begged they finally gave us desert to share that we paid for and because they didn’t like our tip THE MANAGER FOLLOWED US OUT THE RESTAURANT AND YELLED AT US FOR NOT GIVING A BETTER TIP! Well the service sucked that’s why!!! Then the whole staff was cussing us out, talking trash to us for leaving a small tip and telling my friend to get out when he was trying to tell them why and then the manager called the cops. DON’T EVER GO THERE. They are beyond rude and the food is not worth it! Definitely not the service!

    I’ve been coming to this spot for years, It truly does have a special place in my heart. Try the mussels that make your tongue dance and salmon on ciabatta. You must get the hot chocolate when fall times rolls around on the heated patio, it’s lovely.

  • 5/5 Wes H. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place! Their Niçoise Salad is especially good. Tomato Montrachet and Mussels too. Service is always great. Good atmosphere.

    Place is a must when you are visiting Atlanta. Customer service is excellent and food is delicious. Keylime 🥧 is exquisite, environment makes you feel it worth every penny. Not pricey at all compared to the high quality of the food. Highly recommend it 👌

  • 4/5 Anora W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to grab brunch on weekends. They have indoor seating & a lovely outdoor seating space. Lots of parking available right by the building. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because service was very slow, but it was a busy time & I understand that most places are understaffed right now.

  • 5/5 dorothy g. 2 years ago on Google
    We were among the first customers that day in mid-December 2021 and had a very good time with super service and delicious food in very pleasant if not a bit chilly surroundings which rapidly warmed up as the early afternoon arrived. Highest recommendation and within walking distance to the Georgia institute of technology!

  • 4/5 Isaac C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good spot for brunch. Their salad with tuna, eggs and white balsamic vinaigrette was delicious. Wife ordered the cubano which she enjoyed as well. Outdoor seating is nicely ventilated with their outdoor fans and they for comfy couch seating for bigger groups. Overall good spot and would def. Be back to visit.

  • 3/5 Gabriel V. 2 years ago on Google
    It was good. I do enjoying coming here whenever I'm in Atlanta. Staff was friendly and masked. Place was clean. Atmosphere is nice. Patio large. One complaint I do have, though, hence the missing two stars. SIX DOLLARS for a café au lait? That's ridiculous. I don't even know know a $6 café au lait would taste like? Ambrosia? Sweet nectar of the gods? An elixir? My drink wasn't bad in anyway, but I was definitely caught off guard by the price. Especially since their coffee drinks are not listed on their menu from the qr code on the table. Kinda flying blind. I definitely would have stuck with a drip coffee had I known. I'm not saying don't come here. I AM saying ask for a price if you don't see it, just to be sure you're not going to be surprised and can make an informed decision.

    First date. Food was awesome! Company, I'll try someone else next time! The Cham-pain-less drink was really good. Jerry never could have afforded to take me here!

  • 4/5 Caroline H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for brunch on the patio with friends to celebrate a birthday. It was lovely. Tried the veggie sandwich, salmon with hollandaise, and the omlette. For appetizers we had the pate and brie. We all enjoyed our food. The server was pleasant.
