The Ponce Room Bar & Kitchen

"It is impressive how bad this is. I went there before a show and since it is connected to a major and respected hotel chain I figured it would be ok. I was not expecting great but certainly they know better. We had 2 different cocktails and they were made with the lowest quality ingredients and watery. The food was middle school cafeteria level. The bar seats are worn out and mine torn. Like some sad poor bar in some sad poor suburb. This is on the corner of Ponce and Peachtree, should not they do better?"

"Service was great! Not 5 stars because our side was forgotten and took forever to get the fries out. The pimento cheese app feels like it would better server hot. I can tell it’s quality potential, our server was great! I’m mostly reviewing because our experience could’ve been much more elevated if it wasn’t for the fruit fly issue they seem to have. They were landing on our appetizer and even inside my beer. Chose not to replace it since we were on a time crunch and wouldn’t have time to enjoy another one. However, I just wanted to express my concern there."

"Perfect location and ambiance. My only complaint is I wish there were more menu options. It is definitely bar food: burgers, wings, and tacos, but it's all delicious. The pimento cheese with the bacon jam was perfect! Great spot to grab a bite before a show at the Fox."

"Dined on the patio after a Fox show. Seated quickly and service was pretty prompt. The menu is very limited tho, our understanding Fox shows being in session drives this. Nacho dish was way too peppery, hard to enjoy."

"Thank God for our beautiful server who knew how to make a DRINK!!! They were the perfect brunch vibe drinks. She even allowed us to try the blood orange mixer (no idea what it was). This place was a nice way to end my ATL trip. Food: Good! My friend raved about the grits she got with her breakfast. She thoroughly enjoyed the beignet and that's a lot from her as she went to culinary school. The sauce that they placed on the salmon burger was delicious, just wish they would have added more so I could truly get the flavor. You can honestly skip the side of fruit, really wasn't worth it. The sweet potato pancakes were perfect, nice flavorful, and fluffy! The ambiance: I guess if we sat outside it would have given a different feel, but for the most part it was nice. Nothing spectacular but also well above subpar. I would recommend brunch here but definitely get a reservation if you do not want to wait or get stuck sitting at the bar.
