I went to Brassica atl, for my birthday brunch. Everything was absolutely awesome. Our host Margaret was phenomenal, very friendly, and professional. She went above and beyond what was expected. Our server, Mohamed, was knowledgeable and patient. He even got us the corn bisque even though it wasn't on the menu. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful even though there was a large party close to us. Exceptional service, just what you would expect from the Waldorf Astoria brand. I highly recommend it, and I definitely will be back.

Our first time dining at R & C Kitchen and won't be the last. Once the staff worked out that we were in the main dining room and not the Rose & Crown upstairs, everything was great. Service and food were excellent as well as the craft cocktails. We will definitely be back.

This is an interesting restaurant that is worthwhile for special occasions. My food choices were very good: roasted cauliflower with a Miso sauce, freshly grilled Branzino with a simple but deliciously fresh salad garnered with agave, and a wonderful panna cotta. You need to like it dark and enjoy an industrial setting (former warehouse?).
