Came here for a work function and the food and drinks were amazing. We ordered appetizers, fish and lamb chops along with drinks and cocktails. There were no complaints. The venue itself is very elegant and there is valet parking for $3. Definitely a nice date spot.

Our group stopped by on a weeknight and we were thoroughly satisfied with your food and drinks. They had 7$ martinis on Tuesday night and we tried 3 different one, with Aphrodite and cucumber ones being the best! We ordered the five course meal with spreads, three appetizers and one entree to be shared among two people. For appetizers we tried the scallops, (best among all)tuna tartare, salmon with caviar, spinakopita, beet salad(comes with a beet sorbet that is truly unique and fantastic if you like beets). We tried the beef and lamb shanks for entrees, both were pretty good but portions are on the smallish side. It's a great place to visit on a special occasion and the service and ambience will not disappoint.

This restaurant used to be one of our favorites over the years - as expensive as it is, it should be a top-notch, special experience- the last few times have been inconsistent, and I don't think we'll be back again after last weekend - we waited such a long time for our first two courses and then our server abandoned us - I had to grab someone else to get our check so we could make it home to relieve the babysitter, no time for dessert - this restaurant needs to do better.

We have been going to Kyma for more than 10 years, and it used to be one of our favorite restaurant. Sadly, our last meal there left a lot to be desired. They have expanded the outdoor seating and we were seated practically in the parking lot with the sounds of passing traffic and a view of a giant billboard. Service was incredibly slow and appetizers arrived out of sequence. The recipe for the stuffed grape leaves (one of our previous favorites) seems to have changed and the current version is bland with an off putting texture. The whole Lavraki (also always a standout dish in the past) was bland and not particularly light and flaky. A truly disappointing experience-we won't be going back.

I was invited here for a group birthday dinner and although our party was split up the actual food taste good! Try the octopus, it does not disappoint. Our table had the Mykonos platter family style. My only reservation about this restaurant is they can't accommodate for more than one large group on busy evenings.

The well-established upscale chic Greek restaurant attempts to deliver the core of the cuisine but leaves some areas for concern. [Our Experience]Came in on a Wednesday night for a 7:45 reservation for two.Valet parking was available on site and the young guy working was professional and friendly. Checked in with the hostesses upon arrival and expectations were set high when I noticed the space and the freshness of the seafood in the front display. Luckily my beautiful date was running late and I knew she favors good cocktails so I went to sample some at the bar. The Bar:Full bar that is said to craft beverages to compliment the food.Upon first impression, for an upscale restaurant, the bar seemed a bit cluttered. Most of the bar area had used napkins laying around and chairs were scattered. Didn't see any effort to clear the space. Took a moment to find a section that wasn't quite messy and sat down. The bartender came about shortly after I sat and was somewhat friendly but seemed distracted with floor staff. I looked over the bar offerings and went with the thirsty philosopher, the Morpheus, and a glass of water. * Thirsty philosopher (5 starts +)Flavors profile resembled that of a refreshing cucumber dill salad from my summer days in Athens but in a chilled martini glass with a touch of gin.I still wonder about this cocktail. * The Morpheus ( 4.8 stars) As the name suggests the drink was indeed a flavor shifter. At first elderflower and gin notes come in followed by lavender and dried flora flavors but not for long. The lemon cuts it right after and a sweet hibiscus finish is revealed. Overall we liked this cocktail for its uniqueness.The Atmosphere:Once my date arrived we were welcomed into the main dining area and given a table facing the kitchen and most of the restaurant. We could see the soft touches of warm light on the Greek-style columns, the walls with the candles, and the mysterious gray glass wine cellar behind us. The table was well set for us with glasses for wine and cutlery for our meals. The overall setting of the dining room and the atmosphere was pretty nice and neat. The only thing we both didn't like was the upbeat euro music that was echoing in the restaurant. For some reason, it removed the calm out of the space and didn't resonate with all the effort they had in place. The Waitstaff : Our server was subtle and kept conversation to a minimal which I've noticed is common in such restaurants but most definitely could have been a bit more engaging. The same could be said with the assistant waitstaff, waterer, and runners. Greek hospitality is supposed to be vibrant.For Starter we had:1) Traditional Greek Spread with Kalamata olives and Wood-grilled pita bread & Chef Panos olive oil. * (4.00/5.00 stars) * The Kalamata olives did most of the work. Always room to cut some of the saltiness of the olives. 2) Watermelon salad & feta with garden herbs and watermelon sorbet. * (2.00/5.00 stars)* This dish was where the question marks and concerns kicked in. The simplicity of the dish leaves no room for imperfection. Sadly for a $13 plate of salad, it missed the mark. The watermelon wasn't cold enough and the sugary sweetness of the sorbet took over the entire dish. The feta just like the olives had done its part but together as a dish it wasn't convincing. Watermelon and a creamy, rich crumbly feta are a summertime childhood favorite of mine and this particular dish just didn't pull those memories in. 3) The Greek (Greek salad) * (2.00/5.00 stars ) * Another disappointing dish. "Xoriatiki" or Greek salad is as simple as it gets yet trying to elevate the dish to meet the dining room's expectations has cost Kyma some points in my perspective. The Greek came in at a $14 plate with tomatoes, olives, red onions, a little seasoning, a wedge of feta, and some rough Julienne cut Holland peppers topped with olive oil. Not enough bang for the buck here! 4) Octopus - oak wood-grilled octopus served with red onions, olives, and capers.* (4.8/5.00 stars) This dish was a hit at our table. The octopus was tender and Smokey and had a slight zesty finish. It was her first time having octopus and she was quickly convinced of how good it can be. -0.2 for presentation. Main: 5) Grilled whole fish for two. We had ( Lavraki) Mediterranean sea bass with capers lemon and olive oil. * (5.00 /5.00 stars) * The Lavraki was an absolute delight. We picked the fish from the display and they had it cleaned, butterflied, and grilled to perfection for us. It came table side toped off with olive-oil vinaigrette, cappers, and lemon halves. * at $38 a plate this was worth the buck! 6) Greek Fries - with grated kefalotiri cheese * (4.00/5.00 stars) The potatoes were nice and rich. Perfect golden brown color. An only miss... could have used more of the cheese on there. Thoughts... awesome cocktails and great main dishes.

3/5 Food3/5 Options4/5 Service 5/5 VibesWe got the Lobster pasta, grilled octopus, lobster appetizer, and lamb pie. Lobster pasta was extremely salty - I remember seeing a comment where multiple people said that, I should've listened. If the chef sees this ITS TOO SALTY. Grilled octopus tasted like a steak but was a bit fishy, was not really fresh. Lobster appetizer was fantastic and the lamb pie was absolutely delicious. Would probably not come back because we didn't see much that seemed appealing on the menu.

When we arrived they had valet parking on site which was nice. The host told us they were running a little behind so it would be a 10-20 min wait until we could be sat. Once seated our server Garrett greated us and gave us a very thorough walk through of the menu. He was wonderful, and even gave us complimentary champagne for waiting extra. Everything we ordered was delicious and the The food and service was excellent. Our favorite appetizer was the Papou Pano's Lobster Morsels. It's very pricey but was an unforgettable experience.

First off, Kyma is Expensive, and I had better food at much more reasonable places in Atlanta. Food was fine. There were a couple standouts- the grilled octopus was amazing, the ceviche and tuna tartar were both very good, and the spanakopita was good but honestly of the same caliber of most Greek places. The salt fish looked impressive but tasted very plain, similar to steamed fish you could have anywhere, served on greens that were too acidic. Desserts were quite bad; baklava was good but no better than anywhere else. The day we went they had a panna cotta and doughnuts special that was a standout in how bad it was. The doughnuts were fine, but the panna cotta was really dull. They don't offer wines they sell by the glass by the bottle, which is bizarre. The worst part of the experience was when a server mistook my glass out outrageously priced vodka for water, poured water in it, said "oh, was that your vodka?" I said "yes" and he didn't replace my drink!! At a restaurant charging this much for atmosphere the service should be exceptional.

If I could give them zero stars I would this place is extremely rude and disrespectful and extremely unprofessional. I had my birthday reservation but over a month in advance and they just called barely a week before my reservation saying that they have to cancel it for a private event. So you mean to tell me that everyone that was booked that night had to cancel the reservation for an event that just got booked ? Disgusting. Save your time & money !
