The Brasserie at Bazati Reviews

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Sat at the bar and Christian, who was busy as can be, immediately took our drink order and made us fantastic cocktails. Despite running around like crazy, he was always on point anticipating our needs and with a smile on his face! We are going to open a restaurant and poach him just because we know he will be responsible for its success! Great burger too!

The restaurant opened in October and has outgrown the initial service pains many described on this site. With a great location overlooking the Beltline, this will fast become a destination restaurant, once a few of the dishes improve. The room is wonderful, with 30’ ceilings, plenty of room between tables a small nook-bar in one corner and both high and low tables to choose from. French Onion Soup with cave-aged gruyere cheese, sherry and crouton - The broth was deep and rich with flavors, but it was a little salty. It was joined in the crock slice of bread and the gruyere cheese. Neither overwhelmed the soup and onions. I really liked this soup. I give it an 8. Mussels Moules Frites – herbs, shallots, white wine, butter, garlic. Probably the perfect bowl of mussels. The broth was rich and the chef is not shy to add a lot of garlic, which was great. The mussels were cooked to perfection, plump and moist and not a single “closer” was in the bowl. It was served with a great piece of bread to sop up the extra, plus frites which were also excellent. I give this a 10. Trout Meuniere with sun choke purée, Brussels sprouts, brown butter, lemon, capers, micro-greens - This is not a brook trout dish but a steelhead trout dish, more aligned with a wild salmon. I always wonder where the fat ends of the filets go, since I was served the tail end. The best part of the dish was the sun choke purée, full of flavor. Unfortunately, the fish was a little overcooked, just to the point of beginning to dry. The was little, if any, lemon on my dish and a scant amount of capers. The Brussels sprouts were very good. I give this dish a 5-6. Crème Brulée – Served in a traditional low dish, the crème was ultra-creamy and the topping was just the right thickness, not too thick and gave a little crunch and sweetness. I would definitely recommend this as a nice ending to the meal. I give this a 9. Service was excellent. Our server knew the menu cold, gave recommendations and was present throughout the meal.

Charmant charmant!!!l Like a little Paris...here in Atlanta....excellent duck dinne (Canard) fine service...and a roof top garden....a great great addition for us in Atlanta and when you visit from out of town....Make this a stop Adrdienne Leeds

We come here about once a week for their happy hour. Great place for a change of pace from surrounding restaurants and brewery. Love the cocktails, oyster special, and wine list. The steak frites is our favorite but we try something different every time we go! 👏

One of many places to stop drink and eat along the beltway. Stopped here for drinks but was disappointed they were out of servers beers Service was also off. We did it eat here but the upscale Brasserie down stairs looks like a nice place for French food.

After drinks upstairs at Estrella rooftop bar we went downstairs to the Brasserie for dinner and all six of us were blown away with the new Fall Menu...Most had lamb and steak frites and they were superb plates. The vegetable soup on a cold evening was just perfect. Very nice wine pairings too!

I am need to this thing of writing reviews, But I must say that I get the concept. With this said, I have been here on a couple of occasions 5 to be exact...I guess with the change it seems in staff and management, nothing is consistent. I remember a nice African American manager who was knowledgeable and attentive not only to guest but staff as well, the food was done by an actual french chef and everything was good back then. Again what happen? We came in on last Saturday and had the worst food and service imaginable. All I can say is do better please.

The patio area is very nice on nice days overlooking the Beltline for people watching. There was live music next door that was loud but they couldn't do much about that. My wife if French and she was more critical than I about her lunch, my ham sandwich was fine, a touch pricey perhaps. She thought the mustard in her steak tartar was inferior and had asked for it sans capers, but it had them anyway. They got busy while we were there and the server was doing what he could but was slammed so things got a bit slow. We will probably try it again for dinner, I thought the concept was good.

Beautiful restaurant with awesome view of the city! The food and drinks are all very good. Our server was knowledgeable and very sweet. The manager stopped by the table and offered us blankets! We will be back!

My wife, Kathy, and I are always on the lookout for a good French lunch. Last week found a new one, Brasserie at Bazati, which faces the Beltline not far south of Ponce City Market. Unlike the little jewel box restaurants we have come to love in Bordeaux, this restaurant is huge. It is, we were told, an attempt to remind patrons of the grand Parisian brasseries of the 1920s like La Coupole on the Boulevard Montparnasse. Indeed, it turned out to be a little touch of Paris on the Beltline. The dining room is a large re-purposed industrial space with two bars, crystal chandeliers, event spaces, and a panoramic view of the Beltline, and the skyline of Midtown beyond. Our server, Gabby, who we learned spends her non-serving time working as the accountant for a small non-profit, seated us and soon we were sipping aperitifs; for Kathy a Lillet rouge and for me a red Vermouth. The menu is larded through with French brasserie classics. I began with a half dozen Malpeque oysters, which are farm raised in Atlantic Canada. Medium sized oysters, they are briny, a bit sweet, with a clean, crisp finish. The mignonette sauce for the oysters was very interesting, featuring shallots and whole pink peppercorns which burst on the tongue with flavor. For her starter, Kathy had chosen French onion soup. The generous bowl was draped with cave-aged Gruyere cheese. Underneath was an intense broth loaded with soft slices of onion and laced with sherry. We had arrived around 1 o’clock and because it was the end of lunch service, the chef, Remi Gregory, roamed out from his kitchen to see how we were enjoying our repas. We both remarked on the intensity of the broth in the soup. I guessed he had made it with beef shanks, but no, said the chef. Instead of the more common beef stock, he makes a deeply flavorful veal stock. The day was also special, said the chef, because he had just gotten in two kinds of truffles, the first of the season. One was a milder truffle found in Burgundy. While the second was the more famous, and more pungent, truffle from the Perigourdine region of France. Would I like to have a few shavings added to my main course of duck confit? Well, the answer was oui certainement, yes certainly. For her main course, Kathy chose the steak tartare, a disk of bright red hand-cut beef served with Dijon mustard, shallots, and capers, featuring a bright yellow egg yolk on the top. Alongside came crispy house-made potato chips. The egg yolk gives a creamy richness to the beef. The mustard, capers, and little cornichon pickles cut the heavy, intense flavor of the beef and egg. Kathy smiled as she lifted a fork full tartare, dripping with egg toward her mouth. Chef Remi appeared again, bearing with him my duck confit in one hand and a sliced truffle in the other, which he offered for me to sniff. It was, of course, pungent and earthy. With a truffle plane he cut thin slices over the warm, crispy skin of the duck, setting off a new wave of pungent aromas. The duck leg sat on a bed of soft fingerling potatoes sitting in a pool of inky rich duck jus. The skin of the duck was crisp, the meat was moist and tender, and the sauce was intensely flavorful. “You got the Bordeaux?” asked the chef, remarking on out choice of wine. Yes, we spotted it right away, a Cru Monplaisir Bordeaux Superior 2016. It was dark with cherry fruit flavors. It was a blend led by merlot and backed up with cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. After mopping up all the sauce and sipping the last of our Bordeaux rouge, it was on to dessert. We went with the Creme Brulee, which was another classic. The custard was creamy with the top burnished brown and crunchy. Next came digestifs. Kathy chose one of her favorites, a Grahams 10 year old tawny port. Velvety on the tongue with old fruit flavors. I chose a Blandy’s Madeira Verdhelo, also 10 years old. It had nutty, almost caramel flavor. We finished with coffees. Kathy had an Americano. I had a “cafe noisette,” an espresso with enough cream infused in it to turn it the color of a hazelnut. If had been a gray, dreary morning, but there were hints of sunshine breaking through the clouds. Nourished by our lunch of French classics, off we went, arm and arm down the Beltline toward home.

This new restaurant has a unique modern vibe. You can eat on the rooftop and watch everyone on the Beltway getting their exercise, We ate at the Brasserie downstairs. It is a very open floor plan, with a little bookstore, a section for Champaign (they plan to put in a champaign vending machine!) and wine area. Lots to walk around and look at. The food was very good and the service was SUPER! Prices are more reasonable than Buckhead too.

Fun, beautiful and good. Food is delicious. Service is outstanding. Don't forget to visit the terrace for the Estrella restaurant and go shopping on the 7 small stores featuring great items such a Leather goods and Mayan goods made by hand. Also a great florist at the entrance. You wont miss it.

Recently we went to Brasserie at Bazati for Mother’s Day brunch. We started with the chocolate croissant which was phenomenal. My son and I had the Salmon eggs Benedict. My wife had the Salad Nicoise. We finished off with chocolate mousse. We were very impressed with this new restaurant which opened just last September. We will be back for dinner.

The menu has completely changed. No longer French...now something they think is Pan-Latin. The menu only has a handful of things on the menu, NO SIDES! It was like pulling teeth to get a side of French Fries without ordering a Burger. Downstairs was super-slow for a Friday night! It looked like their upstairs was busy, or at least busier then the maybe 4-5 other tables that were seated. I can say that the bartenders were nice, and I did like the margarita, though I was very disappointed that even with an espresso machine I couldn't order a proper espresso martini. Apparently the owner, or head manager doesn't know what type of espresso pods they are supposed to be buying for the machine. When I saw what looked like weak coffee come out instead of espresso, I flatly cancelled my drink and switched to said margarita. And that is another thing, they have an espresso machine, but not longer offer coffee service like previous guests mentioned. One look at the prices, and I am not surprised by why people there are so few people in the restaurant. Even the menus outside are misleading. Apparently they serve tacos, but only upstairs; and on the weekends it is 21+ for tacos...21 or older to order tacos. As for the service, it was okay...barely okay. Apparently the server was more interested cutting up with someone I think was security or a manager. I am not sure why they were drinking in front of guests, but it was definitely a bad display of professionalism. For what they are asking for in menu price, I thought I was going to be served a James Beard quality restaurant, not dive-bar on a Monday. Will not be returned back for business.

Had breakfast - weekend after Thanksgiving. Interior was beautiful! Extremely tasteful holiday decor and music - loved that alone!! Service was excellent, if a bit formal. All enjoyed our food (though not a place to get traditional southern egg breakfast with all the fixins). Bistro food, menu - probably not for all. Foodies - yes. Got the sense they may take themselves a bit too seriously (but maybe that’s why everything was so good). Food was excellent, and we were very comfortable, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Great ambiance for a cocktail at the bar...

Some of the recent new dishes are just superb! The French Toast served during weekend brunches, steaks for dinner, and the double wagu cheeseburger and chicken sandwiches are mouth watering! Service is always on the spot whether in the dining area or bars! It’s just a wonderful value!

I had read about this place in The Week magazine so i thought it would be packed. It was a week-day night, so it wasn't. We had great food, and was surprised to have a personal visit by the owner/chef that evening and he then comped our desserts!

Went here last night....we were four of us in our group. The restaurant is very pretty but very loud.....lots of great energy. The server was a little odd but very thorough with explaining the menu. The red wine we ordered was not up to par. We ordered a few appetizers….the cold lentil salad and the mushrooms were delicious. We also ordered an omelet which was as good as the one you get a IHOP. We cannot review the salads we ordered because they were never brought to our table....oh well!.... The chef was very accommodating about cooking the trout to our specifications....no butter...use olive oil, sauce on the side, etc. etc. The steak was just ok. We ordered 2 desserts and not only were they ugly....they tasted ugly. We all took one bite and left the rest behind..... Note to server:....if you forgot to bring us our salads and you see that we hardly touched our dessert, don't charge us for it! Valet parking available.

Overall, the food was delicious and the service was average. I went with a group of friends and we all had a great time! Every time I go to a French restaurant I order the duck and this time was not different. The duck was a little salty but it paired really well with potatoes. I ordered one leg instead of two and it was plenty for one meal. I heard good reviews about the chicken and even the fish plate. One of my friends is pregnant and she stated that the mocktail was amazing! The atmosphere was pleasant, definitely not as fancy or romantic as I thought it would feel inside. It you are into decor, parts of it were really beautiful like the bathroom tiles. The valet is free which is always incredible, just make sure to take cash to tip!

Ever wanted to see what a Soho House is like inside but don't know a member to get you in? Go to Bazati. Laid back atmosphere, beautiful interior design, and authentic French food. PLUS amazing little shops selling the latest in fashion, books, luggage, etc. So happy this concept is finally in Atlanta! Dont know why it took so long!

No need for a reservation because the place was empty, which should have been our first clue. Service was terrible but friendly. I asked for another glass of wine, it never came, had to stand up and flag down the waitress, same with trying get the check. Never checked on us, and basically no one was there. Four people and two liked their dinners, the lamb was gray and when I asked why it wasn't medium rare or not gray, it was the new chef and he doesnt believe in temperatures. YIKES. Manager happened to come by when we were leaving, I pulled him aside to give feedback and he kept saying when I was back in town....told him twice I lived in ATL, go out often, and he had the blank stare. Spent $250 and for that price, so many great restaurants in the same area or around.

It’s very difficult to find The Brasserie at Bazati. Once there we got served and were out in time for our event. The waitress was pretentious. The food was good but the trout with BUTTER had too many flavors. The steak n frites had too like maitre’d butter. I requested more and got regular butter. On the second request I got the maitre’d butter straight from the fridge. The oysters, French onion soup, olives and bread were great.

Stopped in Sunday to enjoy a few champagne cocktails on the deck upstairs. Beautiful view and great drinks! Want to go back now to enjoy a great meal.

We stumbled across this place walking on the Beltline. The interior is gorgeous and the front is sectioned off with a bookstore, leather goods, and a few other things. We loved the service. Scott the owner is such a friendly and interesting guy to talk to. PJ is a great server who really understands his trade and makes the dining experience just that - an experience. The food is really good. We had the olive bread with sauteed mushrooms; gruyere cheese omlet; and croque moneiur. Our 2nd visit we had dinner and had the trout and duck dishes. It makes for a very nice brunch. It also a very relaxing place to come enjoy a coffee or drink. Give this place a try for quaint and unique dining experience.

We were enjoying an afternoon on the Beltline and decided to stop here because a friend had heard about it and wanted to try it. First of all, their menu is rather limited. I ordered the quiche, which came with a small handful of greens/salad accompanying it. The quiche was honestly the worst I ever had. Quiche is supposed to be somewhat airy and this thing was a flat piece, unlike a nice wedge of pie. It tasted mediocre at best. My friend had a cheese omelet which was also fairly minuscule in portion but she enjoyed it. The server was nice but not that attentive. I would not return again.

The ambiance was great and Julian our waiter was very pleasant and delightful. The food was great and prepared with care. These times are tough and a lot of locations are understaffed. Although with that being said they definitely took care of us. Food came out quick and drinks are very well created.

Just fabulous food, drink, service, vibe and beautiful people watching in the Old Fourth Ward smack on the Beltline!

We have visited frequently and will continue to do so. It has a laid back yet energetic vibe. Estrella rooftop has Yucatan-inspired dishes and wonderful variety of cocktails. The Brasserie at Bazati is French and one must try their spectacular Lentil Salad and Steak Frites-best ever. Also wonderful desserts, wine selection and cocktails!

Restaurant was a great disappointment. We consider all entres overpriced. Even more so, as all four (4) meals ordered were so highly salted they were nearly inedible. Waiter seemed unfamiliar with the menu and was uninformed on the wine list. Wine served was surprisingly poor. This restraurant caters to less discerning diners. OpenTable reviews must have been to a different Brasserie.

My wife and I were very anxious to try the newly opened Brasserie. Parking was easy. First impression was excellent with the open space from floor to rooftop. Of course that also adds to the noise, but not terribly. There is an eclectic feel with the various kiosks selling books, dried flowers, umbrellas, etc. Mu wife and I shared the duck rillette to start. She then had the trout and I had the steak frites. Each element of our dining was very good, but did not know our socks off. We ordered a bottle of Chateau le Nerthe. It was a little pricey for a Cote du Rhone, but we like their wines. We were informed that the restaurant was out of that wine. We hastily selected another Rhone Valley wine. Sadly it was served so cold in temperature that I cannot tell you how it tasted. We tried warming it up with our hands, but that was not enough. When we pointed this out to our server, she said that was not the first time a diner has made that comment. The restaurant has only been open a short time. I sincerely hope they make the necessary tweaks. As mentioned in my title, this place definitely has potential.

I have continued to dine at Bazati, both at the French Brasserie on the ground floor and Estrella rooftop bar. The dishes I most enjoy at the French Brasserie and the Duck Confit snd Steak Frites. You also need to order the bread service as you await your food. Some of the best bread ever. The service is always complete yet not overpowering. Estrella Rooftop cooks Yucatán inspired dishes with a large array of cocktails. Best Margaritas in town! They’re located on the East Side Beltline! Must visit!

I went here with three friends on a Monday evening. My friends had made reservations for 6:30 pm. The restaurant is located in a newly built area right beside Two Urban Licks and right on the beltline. It was very hard to find with no signage anywhere aside from the front door. We had to stop and ask the valet where it was. When we arrived, we were promptly seated. The place is very spacious and nice. We started with some red wine, which was fine, and the cheese plate. The cheese place was barely enough for 1 person and it was $19. Totally not worth it. For dinner, I had the quiche special with the sauteed mushrooms. Both were really good. A couple of my friends had the steak frites and it was cooked very rare, which they were not crazy about. One sent his dinner back to be cooked more while the other suffered through it. We did not do dessert. The service was fine, but the prices were much too expensive, particularly for the portion sizes.

My sister and I were walking the trail and decided to take a break for lunch. We were very glad we did. We both had tasty cocktails. I can't remember what my sister had but she liked it. I had the smoked salmon croque monsieur, a salmon sandwich with lots of gruyere cheese. It was so good! We split some truffle fries, which were also very good. There were fresh flowers in the restroom which is a nice touch. Service was attentive as when the sun started to hit me they adjusted the blinds without us asking. When the weather is warmer it would be nice to eat upstairs on the deck overlooking the trail but the food upstairs is different so I can't comment on it.

Good place right in front of the belt line of Atlanta. Food is good but nothing crazy. Drinks are good!

Only sat at the bar and the waiter did a good job to keep us entertained. Had some expensive but amazing Van Winkle 10 yr and also the Foie Gras and Coq Au Vin both which were amazing. Wouldn't mind trying to place for real lunch or dinner.

Great restaaurant that opened seven weeks agi. Great French food, try the steak frites, and an even better ambiance.

Was in town for work. A friend was having a get-together and since I don't get to see her as often as I'd like so I joined. We get there on a Thursday night and things were pretty quiet. Which was odd since it seemed like a pretty nice spot. I had heard about Estrella upstairs so I was anxious to check it out too. We had some drinks (Rum Old Fashioned For The Win!!) then came back downstairs. Drinks were great here too. I recommend the Smoker on The Beltline for a kick. The food was good if not a little underwhelming, but the salmon I had was nice. Jeremiah recommended a chablis that paired especially well. Overall, it was a good night with friends in a pretty badass space. As long as you're not looking to be wowed you'll enjoy your time here.

We had brunch a couple of weeks ago here and overall it was very good. The server was knowledgeable and the food was good. However, they should hire a few more servers as we had to wait on a table even though there were plenty available, they just didn't have the man power to use all of the tables. The steak frites plate was good and the bread/olives were excellent. I didn't have any beer or wine but my friend enjoyed his wine. I'll check out the rooftop bar next time I go.

I only review places if I love them and I LOVE THIS PLACE! Food, service, and decor are all A+. Great addition to O4W. We had the French onion soup, steak tartare, steak and frittes, green beans, and goat cheese salad. The green beans were my favorite. Can’t wait to go back and try a dessert

What's not to like? Good French food (not trendy restaurants version of French food) presented well and reminding one of France. Good cocktail assortment with a pre-war feeling; good assortment of wines with some quite nice by-the-glass choices. A table of 12 were all happy members of the clean-plate club. Service was professional and amiable.

Terrible experience with the Manager and a Server. This place will never get a dime of my money. Our foursome wanted to sit outside as we had a dog and wanted to be under a heater. We were planning on buying a bottle of wine or 2 and getting some food as well. I had 1/3 of a beer remaining in a cup from next door at New Realm. As I walked up, the Manager, squares up to me and holds his hand out (palm up) gives me a disgusted look and doesn't say a word for 3-4 seconds. Then says, "Your beer please." I said, "Hi... how are you doing, I'm Brett!" He then proceeds to demand my beer from me before I sit. But my buddy (already sitting) says, "I'll take it!" and drinks the rest. Then the manager says, with attitude... "I see you giving me a nasty look but if I get busted by the police or the Atlanta liquor board with someone else's alcohol in my restaurant, I'm the one who goes to jail." Then proceeds to tell us about a new law that just passed regarding that. Ok..i get it..but really? You're the manager of a restaurant and you're giving a customer attitude like this? Next comes an even better part when no waiter comes out for about 5 mins. The amazing manager comes back out and we ask if a server is coming. He sends one out. A younger guy shows up and says, "What can I get you?" We say, "Some Wine". He says, "What do you want?" We say, "maybe a menu would help?" Then he says, "Well.. I'll get you one, but we're not even supposed to be serving out here right now." Then he leaves to go get menus.. I guess? At that point we were just dumbfounded by the whole experience and how poorly we were being treated. So we just got up and left. I've since told probably 15-20 other people at this point to never go to this place thanks to the crap service and the way we were treated by the manager. Now it's on Trip Advisor for all to see. Best of Luck to you Bazati!

I really want The Brasserie to do well. Really. I’ve had two experiences there - one that was excellent (food and service) and one that was embarrassingly bad (food and service). Just not consistent - yet. The interior is outstanding and the setting couldn’t be better on a nice afternoon or evening. Management needs to up its game - delivery consistently great food AND outstanding service. This location really demands both and if Brasserie can deliver then the sky is the limit for this beltline gem.

This restaurant is on The Beltline and is a beautiful space. Great for casual dinners but we had 70 for a buffet dinner and it was Fabulous! Great taste with lots of choices and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. They have a great outdoor space over looking the Beltline. Also a roof top smaller casual restaurant upstairs. Make sure you try this restaurant soon. You want be sorry.

Tried this restaurant twice in April 2019 and both were disappointing. First time waited nearly 40 minutes with no one coming to our table. After complaining to the manager they had a server who was not assigned to us take care of us. She was very apologetic and wonderful. Food was average but priced like it was much better. Tried it again last week. This time we left after about 20 minutes when we still had not seen our server. In summary poor service, mediocre food, and prices out of line with the food and service. It is a great location with nice outdoor seating. I hope they get their service and food resolved.
