The Guru Restaurant and Bar

"The restaurants atmosphere was inviting with elegant decor and had an overall welcoming ambiance. We had the lobster bites and they were 10/10! The chicken and waffles along with the shrimp and grits were so delicious. Great service and food. They even have a really cute section to take pictures. I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"My husband and I when last night for date night and it was so much more than we could’ve anticipated. I was greeted at the door and even given a moment to get some footage of the place. It’s is absolutely gorgeous and a “VIBE”. We enjoyed our cocktails, food, and just being in such a well kept and intentionally decorated place. Everything came out quickly and anything that we needed, was there before we knew that we needed it. We were even given warm, scented and unscented, towels to wash our hands after dinner. Scented for me and unscented for my husband (attention to detail amazing)."

"WOW! This place is a GEM!!! Feel so lucky to have experienced it before it blows up because I’m sure it will. I called the restaurant to make sure their menu was accurate, and didn’t get an answer the first time. The owner called me back within 5 minutes to make sure I got what I needed. We went for the vegan options as I am doing vegan January, and the eggplant tofu ricotta dish was seriously so good I’d eat it beyond just being vegan. Our waitress, T, was delightful. My husband had the salmon and said it was cooked to perfection. Cocktails are served with dry ice which make for quite a spectacle. The owner, Iready, greeted us and pulled my chair out for me, the chef walked out and asked how our meal was and shook our hands. This place is a 5/5. Delicious and fantastic experience from start to finish. We already have our next reservation planned. If you need a valentines date spot, THIS IS IT!!!!!! Thanks for the great meal as we all know Atlanta can be dicey but this place was seriously wonderful wonderful wonderful. *** coming back to add, 20% gratuity is automatically added. As a former server, THANK YOU to the owner for taking care of his staff. Everyone deserves a livable wage and to the people leaving reviews complaining about this, you clearly have never worked in restaurants and shouldn’t eat out if you can’t afford to tip. Bye Felicia!"

"I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. It was amazing right down to the food. Even the presentation of the food was amazing. I had the guru salmon and as you can see in a picture, the presentation was spectacular. I love that the owner introduced himself And explained a little bit about how this restaurant came about. I also love that the chef came out, walked around and checked on us, and if there was any issues with the food in anyway, also had a conversation about what brought us here to this location and also a little history of how he became a chef. I went in the evening time, and as I said, before, I had the guru, salmon, the oatmeal Brulé, which was a breakfast meal, but it peaked my interest, and they prepared it last, but not least for dessert the brownie or chocolate cake with the vanilla bean ice cream. Lord have mercy on that last one, I couldn’t finish it all. And how could I forgotten the old-fashioned? Lol."

"The inside has a really nice decor. They have an aquarium built inside the bar, also have beautiful / comfortable chairs n booths. They have really pretty chandeliers / lighting. The outside patio has warming heaters. The owner n staff members Mrs. T n CiCi, Chef, are awesome. They have a top tier selection of wine / mock tail drinks. I went with my mom, it was our first time there n they made us feel welcome. we will be back with other family members for sure."
