Diner Reviews

"Our anniversary dinner at Seed was fabulous. Wonderful food, terrific wine and incredible service. What else can you ask for? A customized menu wishing us a happy anniversary! Best of the best in East Cobb. Worth the trip from just about anywhere."

"Loved everything about my meal at Seed. I haven't stopped talking about it and cannot wait to go back. Thank you!"

"We enjoyed our meal at Seed very much. The service was excellent and the hospitality inviting. This is the second time we have been with you and will probably come again sometime."

"Fresh, seasonal/local ingredients, well prepared. Brought friends from out of town and they really enjoyed it. Highly recommended."

"Bypass all the chain restaurants that dot East Cobb and head to Seed for service and food that is unrivaled in the county. Great seasonal tastes combined with friendly and attentive staff make any meal here a memorable occasion."

"How can a diner go wrong: great food, fantastic service, contemporary ambience--all add up to a delightful dinner at Seed!!"

"My family went here for my birthday dinner, as I had heard it was a really good restaurant. The food was really good, and the wine/beer selection was great as well. My favorite thing was the chocolate chunk cookie skillet for dessert... to die for!"

"This was our fourth trip to Seed and we brought a couple that had not been there before. We had 7:15 reservations and when we arrived the hostess said it would be a moment while they arranged a table. There were at least 5 tables that were ready at the time. When I walked back up a few minutes later the same hostess said "Do you have a reservation?", not even recognizing me from 5 minutes earlier. One of our party ordered a drink that was forgotten by the waiter and two salads that were described as including peaches, pecans, and blueberries that arrived as a tomato salad. He said he was mistaken when he originally described the salad. The food at Seed continues to be wonderful. The service just needs some minor adjusting."
Dined on 7/5/2014
"We have been to Seed several times and it does not disappoint. The menu always has something to offer and the service is great. The waiters really make good suggestions and there is usually something different on the menu each time."

"Found this gem doing a neighborhood lunch prior to a business meeting... and glad I did! While clearly dominated by ladies during the lunch hour (and women are catered to, with purse hooks brought to the table if appropriate and built into the bar), businessmen definitely not out-of-place. Just be aware that the service pacing at lunch is more leisurely and not focused on a 60-minute time frame. However, every minute spent here is worth it! Menu is varied, fresh, innovative and changing. The soup, sandwich and salad special trio at $12 is an outstanding value. Artisanal drinks (alcoholic or non) are lovely! Definitely a restaurant which will become a favorite. Can't wait to try the Sunday brunch and dinners!"

"Everything was spot on! Oysters, pork pappardelle, Switchback Ridge Petite Sirah and killer service! Great gem for East Cobb and well worth the drive for foodies OTP!"
Dined on 7/3/2014
"An oasis of crafted food in East Cobb. Happy days when this place opened, the truly first of its kind for foodies- wherever that means- in the neighborhood. Prime draft beer, elegant and well thought out wine list, beautiful décor, cool, professional staff and carefully prepared dishes with the good old south as the backbone of all variations. Crispy Calamari and the White Corn Grit Fritters are the house specials for appetizers, and although not a "steak" restaurant the 7oz Center Cut Filet is unbelievably tender. The best appetizer by far (and possibly my favorite in all of Atlanta) was the white corn grit fritters. This is a nice, modern, farm-to-table restaurant with Thai and American Southern influences."

"We completely enjoyed food and services. Will eat at Seed for next special occasion."

"We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a special dinner. Couldn't have asked for better than at Seed! The fish was delicious and prepared with just the right accoutrements. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, quick with recommendations, and came around just often enough to quietly fill our water glasses. The complimentary dessert was really special, too. The tables were a little close together, so we could definitely overhear neighbor's conversations, but hanging curtains certainly helped contain the noise and define the space. Enjoyed sitting close to the kitchen to watch what was coming out. We will definitely be back!"
Dined on 6/30/2014
"I would recommend to everybody! Love this place! Pauk is wonderful, as is the entire staff. The food is to die for."
Dined on 6/29/2014
"Seed is always consistent.....delicious food prepared in unique ways with layers of flavors and textures. Great sides and desserts too. So glad to have this Gem in our area! You don't have to go to "midtown" to find this quality!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
"Once you walk in and get seated in this East Cobb spot you quickly forget you are in a strip mall in the 'burbs. Clean, modern dining and bar with top notch menu, where is seems you could not order a so-so item from it. Everything was superb!"
Dined on 6/28/2014
"perfect food, wine and staff. A completely enjoyable evening, as always."
Dined on 6/29/2014
"From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with exceptional service, friendlines, and made to feel like a valued guest. Setting is casual - perfect for a mid-week meal, but the experience feels like this special find of a restaurant should include a lovely piece of soft white fabric with a high thread count and silky sheen along with heavy, quality cutlery. While the setting and atmosphere say "Diner", the extraordinarily good food derived from local markets and 5 star service screams "Top Restaurant In Atlanta". Don't miss this special spot, very reasonably priced and totally worth going back to."
Dined on 6/29/2014
"Seed can certainly hold its own against its larger competitors in Atlanta. The executive chef certainly has the experience and talent to make Seed work, and it does. Every time. We had the pimiento crostinos (excellent!), chicken schnitzel (always great), and the special white sangria (very good). Service is always very good; they seem to hire good staff."
Dined on 6/28/2014
"This restaurant has now made my top 5 favorite in the city (all of Atlanta!). The menu had so many inspired, yummy sounding dishes that I'd like to try so it was very hard to choose! Their wine list was excellent - I especially loved that they gave notes on each wine which really helped to ensure I tried all the right ones. We chose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner so I made sure to put that in the Opentable res notes and I am glad I did. Every staff member along the way wished us a happy anniversary, they had customized our menus to say happy anniversary, and they even brought out a special complimentary dessert that had a candle & said happy anniversary, top notch! We had a wonderful experience & will be back!"

"This was our 2nd visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and our waitress (Kristin). When we are attending the Atlanta Lyric Theatre performances, we have enjoyed finding this jewel in the Whole Foods Merchants Walk shopping plaza."
Dined on 6/28/2014
"This was our first experience and we were VERY impressed with the bar staff and our waitress. We had a drink while we were waiting for the rest of our party and the bartender was happy to make great suggestions based upon what we liked. After being seated, our waitress explained the specials in thorough detail as if she had prepared them before. I was impressed with the scallops and asparagus risotto. We all tried different dishes and the only complaint would be that a couple of them could have been a bit less salty. Still delicious though! We tried three desserts, all excellent. I will recommend the cheesecake and the hot chocolate chip cookie whatever-they-call-it. It's worth the calories."

"I dine here regularly so am running out of superlatives to share. A great foodie and wine restaurant in the suburbs. Sister wine bar next door is a good spot also. Give it a try if you are in the mood.."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"We made a last minute dinner reservation and may have been the last ones in for a late dinner. Javier waited on us, providing an educated and well informed run down of the dishes. I had the special : Halibut on a bed of seasonal vegetables - the best Halibut ever. Done to perfection. The produce used is so fresh and I had a wine pairing that was perfect with the meal. The desserts were subtle and sophisticated - a perfect end to the evening. Try and snag a seat next to the candles. Never though of pairing candle aroma with food but a great experience. Noise level depends on other diners and varied but layout and ambience was welcoming."
Dined on 6/24/2014
"I continue to have wonderful dinners here. Myself and a number of friends have been delighted with the whole restaurant. The regular menu and the specials have all been very pleasing. We have yet to try a dish we did not like. Very friendly service during multiple visits. The prices are reasonable compared to a number of other Atlanta area restaurants. Their Tres Leches dessert is a favorite of mine."
Dined on 6/24/2014
"Thank you for making our anniversary a special one! I booked the reservation through Open Table and noted that it was my anniversary. Without prompting, Seed printed a personalized menu and congratulated us several times. The food was delicious - great menu and a great list of specials - and they were happy to accommodate modifications."
Dined on 6/23/2014
"Service at lunch was very disappointing. Multiple excuses - first the kitchen and then the waiter. Lunch service is always slow - I've been multiple times, but this was the worst."
Dined on 6/23/2014
"We went for Brunch - everything was great! Creme Brulee French Toast - dessert for breakfast- no complaints here! Cheesy grits, Biscuits everything was delicious!! My kids did not love the sausage ( i think it had sage in it) But the blueberry chicken sausage was awesome. Service was Top Notch as well."
Dined on 6/22/2014
"Another great meal at Seed! First time at brunch there, and it didn't disappoint. My omelet was excellent and my husband's schnitzel and arugula were so tasty. We'll be back!"
Dined on 6/22/2014
"Arrived at the restaurant to the hostess wishing us a happy anniversary. Sat down and even the menu had been personalized with a Happy Anniversary message. Excellent food and the wine bar next door Stem was also good. A little noisy so hard to be romantic but the food, service and the special attention more that make up for the noise level."

"We've been to all Seed's "competitors" that have moved into East Cobb and they don't hold a candle to Seed. Seed delivers the highest quality food, best value, best pricing, best service, best everything you could ask for. It's our favorite restaurant in all of Atlanta for a reason and that's why we don't travel in anymore. I hope they open another concept soon! Great job guys!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
"Fantastic food, great presentment, and affordable, quality wine selection. The smoked chicken tacos and the corn fritter appetizers were outstanding with the scallop main entree fantastic! Server was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I will be back!!"

"We came here for Father's Day. Everything was very nice. The food was very good, and the sevice was excellant. Not too noisy either."
Dined on 6/15/2014
"Possibly North Atlanta's best meal and certainly a welcomed addition to East Cobb. Found this to be one of the freshest tasting meals at a great price along with great service in a very comfortable, energetic setting. Make a reservation well ahead of time as Seed is a hot spot to dine. The place is chic with a minimalist design. The bar scene is happening and the restaurant has a Buckhead or Big City feel to it in suburbia. The service is spot on and everything leading up to our entrée’s was great. We finished on a high note with desert. The place has a cool vibe and a happening place to go in the burbs."
Dined on 6/11/2014
"We ended up sitting at the bar and enjoying the bartender's entertaining demeanor! He was fabulous, but of course I can't remember his name! The food was fabulous! My husband enjoyed the bourbon selections. Similar to Local Three, but closer to us. Will definitely be back!!!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
"Our server, Javier, was excellent. He was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this wonderful East Cobb restaurant; the best addition to our area in the past few years!!"
