Behind the bar, Cooks & Soldiers offers guests an extensive collection of Basque and Spanish wines, txakoli and ciders, in addition to craft beer and signature cocktails. The cocktail list places a heavy emphasis on gin, offering a seasonal selection of house-infused tonics blended into gin tonics and other popular libations.

    Our time at cooks & soldiers was amazing. It was worth every dollar. We enjoyed their Gin happy hour and tried multiple dishes that were absolutely amazing. Our server Anna guided us through the menu and helped us make some tough decisions on menu selection. Anna finished the night off with a glass of Cava as we were celebrating a job promotion! I would 100% come back again.

    Food was good, but slightly inconsistent. Some great dishes but several that were unimpressive. With mostly tapas dishes, value was a bit out of balance with the amount of food received. Not the type of restaurant we’ll likely make it a point to revisit

    great service, food with unusal flavors, we love paprika in Spanish dishes but they should take it easy on the amount added, french toast and pan de setas delicious, potato tortilla was killed by the spices, brisket was hard and veggies again too much paprika. But we are curious to try some of the other appetizers

    This is an Atlanta staple. Great restaurant for tapas style dining. Small but filling. The cocktails were all well crafted and balanced. They keep changing up their cocktail offerings so snap a pic of the drink menu if you absolutely love your drink and try to recreate it at home

    Food, as always, was excellent. What really made the experience for us was the excellent service from Haki - not only was he very sociable, he knew about the food and the wine and for me that knowledge was quite impressive as I love wine. Keep up the great job and massive props to Haki.

    A friend suggested this spot for me to check out and I am so glad I did. 10/10 experience here with my friends. The food and service was amazing. Each item was delicious some not pictured. My favorite was their chicken. A lot of their food items on the menu are enough to serve two ppl which I loved.Our waiter was very knowledgeable of each food item and placed our order in a timely manner where everything came out just perfectly in time. I plan on coming back to try their fresh and steak which apparently is their most popular food item off the menu.

    My husband and I visited this restaurant years ago, and it was amazing. We're getting to know some new friends who live on the Westside, so we thought this would be a great dinner option Unfortunately, the food has not survived the test of time. I ordered some tapas, and here's my take. Pork cheek fritters seemed overcooked on the outside, and the inside had a strange mushy texture. Taste was okay. The mussels were decent, just not very flavorful. The patatas bravas were the best thing I had. The dish I was excited about that kinda freaked me out was the bone marrow. I love me some marrow, but never have I ever had creamy pink marrow. I was a trooper and spread some on toast, but it just was not right. My appetite was kinda gone after that. My husband had the filet. It was cooked to medium rare, but it was room temp and had no flavor. It needed at least some salt. The puree it sat on was...odd. It just didn't taste good. The best entree was the branzino that our friend (the other husband) ordered. Our server didn't speak loudly enough for us to hear her clearly. After saying "I'm sorry, what did you say?" a few times, we kinda gave up. Also, she never asked us about sides for the entrees - we didn't immediately realize everything was a la carte. If there was a special, we didn't hear about it. We opted out of dessert because at that point... We didn't raise issues with the manager, mostly because we realized maybe this just wasn't our taste anymore. We did tip generously anyway on the $350+ bill. So overall, we enjoyed spending time with our friends. But unfortunately, we won't be back.

    Service was great. The music was a bit loud so it made holding a conversation difficult. The small plates were good sharing size for 2 people, however were a little cooled off when delivered. This has been our second time and I do like how the menu changes.

    My date and I really enjoyed ourselves at Cooks and Soldiers! Hostess staff welcomed me with smiling faces and informed me that my table would be ready shortly. I decided to have a glass of champagne while I waited for my date to arrive,the bartender was very welcoming. After closing out my bar tab, the hostess escorted us to our table. Our waitress, Jo, was very attentive and made sure to answer all of our questions. Literally everything was delicious! GAMBAS, CHISTORRA IN A BLANKET for starters. Main course I enjoyed the whole Bronzino and my date had the half chicken and shared the PATATAS BRAVAS. In addition to champagne, I REALLY loved the Costa Verde. Super cute and yummy! All the food came out in a timely manner. I’ll definitely be returning! Five stars!

    Beautiful environment. Upscale without the haught. Good spacing between tables. good lighting. Noise and music level gave the environment the right energy while still allowing you to speak and hear comfortably with your waiter and companion. Bar and wait staff friendly and fun. They truly loved being at work. Food was excellent - taste, texture, and presentation - 4 small plates, one main dish - whole turbot (from the Asador), and shared desert were perfect for the two of us. Busy intersection of that part of town, but parking was easy via valet. We are actually coming back next week.

    It was not first time there, but this time was birthday celebration dinner. We all are drinkers and suggested wine selections along with food by our server was right. Food was great as always. We had a waiting time for drinks but understandable for restaurant being full customers. We chose for meat for last dish, dry-aged ribeye. It was great, definitely recommend. We all had a great food and drinks and had great time for birthday dinner for my co work!
