   Nikolai used to serve a little more portions for the money. New York strip only 2 cube cut pieces of meat and for my lady one piece of duck meat. Almost $300. Let’s not talk about the small portions for appetizers and dessert. Pay more and get less.

   The bar drinks and service were excellent. The dinner service was attentive and the recognition of my guest's birthday was good. I have been to the restaurant before covid. The prices now are higher.

   Amazing experience for first timers or people new to atlanta. Great for anniversaries or birthdays. Portions were a tad bit small but I suppose that’s what higher end fine dining consists of. The waitress we had was very kind and professional. I really loved how she went above & beyond for us on my birthday. The only issue was actually getting on the 28th floor because you need a key to get up there & the only elevator that would take us up there was being serviced. We had to go through the kitchen after asking the front desk staff for help.

    The former Nikolai's Roof was one of a kind. The current iteration is lacking. My hunch is the pandemic caused a full rebrand, but clearly they have yet to find their stride. My wife and I were there to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and left more than disappointed... The signage to get up to the 28th floor was poor, meaning we walked around (with others who were trying to find it as well) and took several elevators before we arrived. There was no host/ess greeting us when we came in, so we had to look around and wave down a server who eventually greeted and seated us. The server was nice, but Applebees average, the food selection (prix fixe) was good, but execution was average (overcooked vegetables and steak), the wine list is decent but it looks like a 6th grader typed it out in Times New Roman in MS word, and the only Cab served by the glass is Columbia Crest (REALLY?!), the decor feels 1980s. To boot, it was the most expensive meal my wife and I have ever paid for. My former experience with NR was one of the most memorable meals in my entire life. The food, experience, wait staff, etc... were all world class. And while the price tag matched the experience, we didn't feel like it was unjustified. This experience, however, was the exact opposite. I would've rather dined at Houstons, had a better experience, and saved several hundred dollars. The sad part is, there is sooo much potential to this space. The legacy is legendary, the views are unmatched, and the potential audience (Hilton guests) is enormous. With a sharp owner and management, this could be revived. But it needs help fast.

    Arrive early as you have to navigate the elevators to the restaurant. Ask the hotel personnel which elevator to use from the bottom floor. We parked our vehicle, got into the hotel and waited for an elevator, but only some go to the restaurant. Don't get on the wrong one. We thought the express elevator would take us up, but you need a hotel key to work the elevator. Went up to the 28th floor, then had to take another elevator to the restaurant. The rest of the experience was great! Scott, our waiter explained the courses to us, the food was excellent and the wine great! Small portions, but that is expected from a French restaurant. I'd go back again!!

    Very good portions compared to other comparable roof top and fine dining restaurants we have been to. We were very full by the end of the night. Service was very good and it made for a great anniversary date night. We will go back again and the bar area seemed like a nice place to have a couple drinks and enjoy the view.

    Rainy night, so the roof view wasn’t great. But the food and service were phenomenal! Our server, a Bulgarian gentleman, was very helpful, never hovering but always available (and funny). The food was delicious and presented beautifully. I highly recommend the duck breast. It’s a pricey restaurant but worth it!

    The food was good, but not great. Of course it’s a super nice restaurant, but the price of the meal is far too high for the food. The portions are tiny (a “New York Strip” is actually just two slices of the actual steak for an entrée). We requested a window table and they put us in the corner by the dirtiest window with the worst view. Overall it was just no where near the experience we felt it should have been for the set $100 per person meal. Would not go back.

    While a shadow of its former self, Nikolai's still shines bright with excellent food in a quiet lovely atmosphere. Hopefully, as the pandemic recedes further, and supply chain issues resolve the restaurant can fulfill its potential and live up to its previous glory. Still, if you are looking for a nice evening with individuals whose company you enjoy, this restaurant provides the perfect atmosphere along with food and drink to enhance the evening.

    I had the pleasure of eating at Nicolais in the 80s and the 90s. It was always a treat. This was when the servers still wore the Russian outfits! Fast forward to now. It seems that the restaurant is more into the idea than the food. While everything was palatable the entree for both me and my date were stand out and not for the right reasons. The duck breast was overcooked. The ribeye was mostly fat. All the other coureses were fine. Deliscious oysters, delightfule cheese selections. Dessert was great. Still maintain an excellent wine list. And specialty cocktail Garden Mule was spot on.

    Long standing fan of the restaurant and was so happy when I got the alert that they were reopening. Equipment with a new chef and new servers was apparent upon arrival. I hope that my most recent experience is not the new standard. The exceptional ambiance of one of the best dining experiences in ATL (food, service, ambiance and setting) has been replaced with what I can only describe as a standard Hilton restaurant. Inclusive with the dining experience we’re kids running, flip flop, bathing suits and the clear presence of families enjoying their vacation while entertaining children with iPads and and coloring books. Don’t get me wrong, as a family person myself I do the same thing when vacationing, I just don’t do it at a what was a 5 star restaurant 30 floors above the ATL skyline. The food quality has also slid. Long delays, lacking originality and inconsistent cook quality and temps. Very disappointing. All of this review may sound a bit negative, but let’s level set the expectation. I was so looking forward to a romantic evening with a very important question I had for my date at a restaurant that held many memories for both of us. Unfortunately, I was met the reality that this is not the place for the next lifetime memory.

    We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our delicious, beautifully and creatively presented four course dinner. This was our first time after re-opening and we got to meet chef Daniel Palaima, a super-nice guy! Our server Cindy was fun and very attentive. Validated parking is a plus too. We will be back to try other creations of this talented chef. Thank you for making our visit special!

    Very glad to see Nickolai’s Roof is open again. We haven’t been in Atlanta for 13 years and looked forward to dining there again. Vassil took extremely wonderful care of us explaining the ingredients for every course. The food, wine, and coffee were excellent as was the panoramic view from the restaurant. My wife and I are very pleased with the experience at Nickolai’s Roof and will definitely dine there again.

    Wedding Anniversary! Our waiter Vassil has always been the best! He is professional and knows the menu and make great suggestions. Although the menu has changed since the reopening and not the best choices (I was looking forward to some lamb chops), the ambience and customer service was the same and we loved it!

    I brought my fiance for a birthday dinner. That is a very nice place with a great view. Our waitress was very nice and kind. One thing which annoyed me was waiting for a table at the bar for 20 min after when we arrived on time. Plus, the hostess, after dinner, came to us with a demanding attitude to charge us for the bar tab, which we closed right after we were spotted in the dining room.
