Cooks & Soldiers completely blew me away. This place is out of this world. From start to finish, everything was incredible. I had the PESCADO À LA PARILLA, and I honestly don’t even have anything to compare it to—so flavorful, perfectly cooked, and just unforgettable. The drinks were on point and the apps were just as impressive. Every bite felt like a culinary adventure. The vibe, the service, the presentation—everything was top-tier. This is one of those restaurants you walk out of already planning your next visit.

The food is excellent! I absolutely love that when the food is brought to you the server described the food as if they prepared it themselves with precise detail. Plates were whisked away as soon as they were emptied. Atmosphere was good, just a little too loud for my taste. I would recommend and go again next time I'm in town.

We strolled in for a late dinner last night and we were blown away by the lovely service, beautiful atmosphere and every dish was delicious! Our server was so knowledgeable about all the items, was genuinely interested in the food and gave us excellent cocktail recommendations. Highlights were the gin & tonics, mountain bread and the chicken. 10/10 would come back next time I am in town!

Absolutely stellar seafood experience at Cooks & Soldiers! The grilled whole fish came out beautifully charred, skin crisped to perfection with a silky, tender interior. The sauce—light, herby, and packed with flavor—complemented the fish without overpowering it. Definitely a standout dish for anyone who appreciates clean, bold flavors. The grilled octopus was just as impressive—tender, smoky, with a slight char that gave it that perfect bite. Sitting atop a vibrant, stewed pepper and tomato base, every forkful had layers of sweetness, acidity, and a touch of spice. Both dishes looked and tasted like the kitchen really knows how to respect the ingredients. This place nails Basque-style seafood with finesse. Highly recommend if you’re in Atlanta looking for fresh, expertly prepared seafood with bold flavors! our server was genuinely warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the dishes and made sure everything came out just right, without ever feeling overbearing. It really elevated the whole experience.

We came here for a special graduation dinner and absolutely loved it! The staff was very attentive and made great recommendations, and everything was delicious! The small plates came well spaced out so that it was never too much all at once but we also didn’t have to wait too long. Definitely try the Basque cheesecake, it was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend this place for any type of special occasion dinner!

Paid parking available at the adjacent parking deck. The food was very good. Tapas orders only. Pricey for the quality of the food. The mountain bread we ordered was cold on the inside. The replacement order came out the same way as well. Was unexpecting frozen food to be served up at a fine dining restaurant especially looking at the prices. The staff was extremely good and on point. All the food that was ordered was brought out on a timely basis the drinks were perfect. The recommended gin and tonic was out of the world. I'm not sure if I'll come back to this place due to the paid parking & high prices compared to quality of food. But the Ambiance in the restaurant is great they just need to make improvements the quality of the food.

Sooo Cooks & Soldiers was such a good time! Our waitress and the staff were all super nice and funny, which made the experience even better. The restaurant has a lively vibe, and I always love an open kitchen view. Normally I give a full breakdown of what I ordered, but we had so many dishes, ha! Just know everything we tried was delicious. I’m definitely looking forward to eating here again.

This restaurant pays attention to details. They go the extra mile to make sure they show appreciation for your patronage. I have a recommendation. Get the grilled cheese with the truffles and Spanish ham. You won't regret it! I didn't get a good picture of the sandwich. After one bite, I was hooked and wasn't thinking about any pictures.
