Crescent City Kitchen Reviews

We wanted to take in the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit at the High Museum and decided to go into Midtown early for brunch before proceeding to the museum. We had heard about the Crescent City Kitchen and its famous Croffle, a merger of a crispy waffle and buttery croissant. Once there, we decided to venture into the world of sweet biscuits. Much to our delight, we were treated to a pleasureful dining treasure. These biscuits were somewhat like New Orleans beignet married to a cinnamon bun. Three different flavors were arranged on a serving board surrounded by mounds of whipped sweet cream. They included one with apple-pie filling on top, one with sliced strawberries, and one with a dollop of maple butter. WOW! What a taste sensation. We all ordered coffee to start, coupled with the biscuits. It came in four-ounce cups. This was weird as one would definitely desire an eight-ounce cup to wake up with in the morning. To make matters even more strange, the restaurant did not offer any artificial sweetener when asked and only had cream for the coffee when we asked for milk. This did not endear me to this restaurant as I have diabetes. Arlee and Annette ordered omelets that came with home-fries that were well seasoned and tasty. Dan and I ordered the skillet eggs. This was a nice presentation in an iron skillet coupled with a choice of sausage or bacon, home-fries and a somewhat dry biscuit. We were not asked by the waitstaff how we wanted our eggs and were only offered scrambled. In addition, we had to request three times for a refill on the miniscule coffee cup. When the bill came, it came with an 18% tip already buried in the bill with a line below the total for a tip (additional amount if one did not notice the original inclusion that's normally charged for groups of six or more. We were somewhat miffed at this point, paid our bill, and left. This restaurant's theme was inviting; however, the execution was less than desired. What should have been a very pleasant experience turned out to be non-satisfactory.

To preface this, noisy bar restaurants are not my jam. If you're looking for a hip, busy (noisy) and expensive place to eat, the atmosphere might appeal to you. We both had the breakfast platter. The eggs were tasty, but one was not hot. The potatoes were hot and cooked perfectly with a nice crispy outside. Unfortunately, the bacon and potatoes were, imo, overpowered by too much seasoning. Neither of us finished the potatoes or bacon, which we love. The platter includes one of their signature croffles, a croissant cooked like a waffle and topped with different toppings, like apples or strawberry. The fruit topping was better than something out of a can, but not by much. It would have been better with butter, maple syrup and some fresh fruit. For me, it was a lot of money for food that couldn't hit the mark. I'd have been happier grabbing a Dunkin breakfast croissant.

The food was literally delicious! The croffles don’t even need syrup that’s how good they are! The eggrolls and the sauce was 🔥 The pasta was okay but everything else slapped!

Best brunch spot ever food came out hot quick and on time and the taste omgggggg the best !! My server Queen was the best attentive and made some great choices, anytime I’m back in Atl crescent city Is where I will be ..

I went to this brunch spot with a group of friends, and every dish was delicious, from the breakfast tacos to the French toast—everyone loved what they ordered. The atmosphere was super chill with great vibes, and the decor was so cute and Instagram-worthy. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!
