This is probably my favorite restaurant in the entire city. The interior is gorgeous, the service is phenomenal, and the food is amazing every single time. Bravo, BN, bravo.Upvoted Mar 30
Do not order your whole meal with the waiter. Do it step by step. If you order it all at the same time, it will all come to you at once. Take my advice. Order one app then tour dinner and all is well
Josh WeissJanuary 29, 2019The salad frisee aux lardons is perfection...and the slow cooked lamb shank is not to be missed! Ask for a table in the front/main room (where the bar is) for better people watching.
Alexandre MunhozDecember 4, 2022Classic Brasserie style, well decorated and with a good service. Appetizers like Clams, (real) foie gras and beef tartar were very good. Cocktails so so. Steaks were cooked well. Deserts not so good
Atlanta Eats TVJuly 19, 2013Whether the charcuterie Grand Platter is your thing, or Herb Goat Cheese Ravioli, Shrimp En Brique or Steak Au Poivre, there is a classic French dish to match your palate. Read more
Vera WilsonApril 28, 2017Great for a date night. Lovely and very knowledgeable staff of the menu. The food outstanding.
Robin HollowayFebruary 24, 2013The mussels for starters were superior. Save some bread to dip in this sauce. The skate wing cod was fantastic. Great atmosphere, excellent food, fun company.
Jenny LynnFebruary 14, 2013Great food. Great service. A little pricey. Don't know how but it smells like my cats litter ( fresh scoop). Other than that love it! ;)
Kendall SmithSeptember 8, 2011The skate wing is an unusual order, but it tastes delicious--a must-try. The Pommes Frites are very good as well--double crisped like all great French ones are!
Bistro NikoNovember 20, 2014Have you taken advantage of our special 3-course anniversary menu? It's available until 11/30! Check it out on our website:
Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 20, 2012Niko hits all the right notes when it comes to Paris-meets-Atlanta allure, and delivers on some of its promises when it comes to classic French brasserie fare. Read more
Fausto TorresOctober 22, 2017Food is delicious and very good service! The one thing I didn't like was the noise, too loud in the main room.
Nikhita BahrunaniJune 18, 2011Amazing escargots(de-shelled) and salmon pizza was exquisite. The bette noir dessert is out of this world!! However bread comes cold and stale at times...
TimSeptember 12, 2013Everything was great at the Bistro Niko. Food, service, location, ambiance, pricing, variety.....
Order the croque madame and a dozen oysters, with a glass of champagne!
- Yvonne TsuiNovember 15, 2013Try the Scallops St. Jacques - With asparagus and diced tomatoes. So rich and flavorful!
Rafael H. CalderónMarch 21, 2014Great French cuisine in Atlanta and great ambiance, must stop by if you are here!
Bonny DragoDecember 2, 2016The ambience, service the food everything wAs great . Loved the cheese puffs!
Chris PolloneJune 30, 2016Good place for drinks. Somewhat scene-y. Try the mushroom flatbread. Gets muggy with the windows open.
Taylor JacksonMarch 22, 2013Blue point oysters, Kobe beef entree, and Creme brûlée for dessert. Just do it.
Kristina JustSeptember 30, 2011Don't be put off by "Les Toilettes" - having your individual bathroom is nice. Auto hand dryer - a little freaky at first.
Daniel ValdesJuly 21, 2017The restaurant is great but the Bouillabaisse is not prepared in the authentic Marseille recipe and was a disappointment. I'd suggest the Coq Au Vin instead
Luis EscobarSeptember 28, 2013The onion soup and the coqauvine are delicious, I'll definitely recommend this place
Dahlys HamiltonApril 9, 2012They bring a complimentary large bottle of cold filtered water to your table. You can get either still or sparkling water.
Ray RayAugust 27, 2011Food is Fantastic! Wine is reasonably priced, actually for a restaurant good prices. Service is super average and the valet-service is like a blind walrus trying to hump a screen door, pretty bad
- Dahlys HamiltonApril 9, 2012The best white bean soup I have ever had. Has truffle oil in it--so good!
Gorgeous bar and Patz & Hall pinot noir by the glass. Eaten here 3 days in a week and have 2 weeks to go!- Order fries with bearnaise sauce. It's not on the menu but so good as a starter.
Jacques BrierreSeptember 25, 2011The Croque madame is awesome. Good Sunday brunch. Add espresso shot to coffee if you want it strong.- The Truite Menuniere is to die for. Tastes exactly how I had it when I was in Alsace.
- If you sit on the patio , Get ready to wait. It takes long to get your first appitizer that it feels uncomfortable.
- Make sure you if you sit outside you ask the server not to "fire" any other courses until you r done with your first.
Great, reasonably priced restaurant in Buckhead! Must haves:white bean soup, the salmon flatbread and the skate wing
- Michael PerhaesJuly 21, 2013The loudest restaurant I have ever experienced. Ever. But the food is good.
40 minute wait on a sat nite at 10 pm not too bad. Packed bar but in a very good way:)
