Really great atmosphere, views of downtown Atlanta are amazing, service was exemplary and food was exquisite. I do wish the portions were a little bigger as some entrees seemed small given the price. But overall, we enjoyed spending our time here for our anniversary.

Love coming here. Great service and great food. Only thing different about this time was they sat us at a small table and it felt like we were eating with the table next to us. So it wasn’t so intimate as our last experiences were.

Celebrated my anniversary there. If you're looking for ambiance and scenery, sure, go eat there. Just know there are limited menu options with small overpriced portions! Also, they don't offer personalized anniversary desserts.

It’s exciting to be dinning up at the top and rotating to see the city. However, you don’t see the whole city as the views are partially blocked by other tall buildings. The place is nice atmosphere. Food menus are limited. If you get the steak please note that it not grilled. The sea bass and brussel sprouts are over salted. The pistachio/sobet dessert was good. Once it good enough for me as there are better place for fine dining.

The waitress gets 5 stars she was very nice and respectful.The view is awesome the ambience is awesome it's a nice relaxed environment.The food is not worth it ,the beef and potatoes were so small they could fit into the palm of my hand without my fingers and my palm is very small.It cost $54 for a piece of beef that fits into the palm of a hand .The guy who brought the food to the table has no manners , he was rude we greeted him and he ignored us ,he did not say excuse me when he reached to remove plates from the table .The food was cold in temperature as well.The view is great ,the ambience is great too it's just the food service size for the cost is not worth it at all. ,it's flavor wasn't even out of this world it just tasted like regular plain beef.Sun dial does a much better job with portion sizes and customer service.It is too bad because this restaurant has so much historical value.
