Reviews of Bistro Niko (Restaurant)

Dreamer 80

The place is clean and has a nice vibe. Service was exceptional- Niki was as great help and provided assistance beyond the expectations. Food was purely delicious. If they know how to cook a duck they know the art of culinary. Overall this is the place where we are definitely coming back to and are recommending to all!

Nice big place. Good atmosphere. Could be very loud at times.

Vivian Garner

french food and the setting at this location is excellent. super appetizing. the staff was sociable and attentive. the bill was good for how much you get.

Dino DeSantis

Great food and great service

Joshua Mims

Had the Le Grande burger during brunch. It was okay... a bit bland, which was surprising. The server had a bit of trouble with our table, but it was also pretty busy in there. The restaurant itself is wonderful, and I especially enjoyed the live jazz music.

Jennifer Symes

As someone trained in French cooking I was disappointed to find they couldn't even produce a nicoise salad. The confit duck is ok at best. Pretty expensive which I'm usually ok with but in this case the food quality did not match prices. Service wasn't great either.

Mariah Nguyen

Good service and good French food. The inside decor is so nice and dining room is very big. Will be back for the scallop dish again because it was delicious

Andrew Gowasack

This is my favorite French bistro in Atlanta. Great value, spectacular food, and a top notch staff. I've eaten here many times and always had an exceptional meal.

Tonja Peña

We had a burger and the NY Strip Steak Frittes. The burger was wayyyy better than the steak and the fries were like fast food fries.

Jake Massey

Always consistent and the food is wonderful. One of the cleanest places I have ever eaten.

I really like this restaurant, and it was walking distance from the hotel, but I am only giving three stars because I am a super strict and picky vegetarian. If you are not, you will definitely like it even more than I did!! I got a margherita vegetarian pizza, herbal tea, and a cacao dessert.

Christopher Hall

Food and service great. Be aware of very very noisy space due to all the hard surfaces where crowd noise happens

Claire McCann

First time here, it was delicious! Only, seems like there's an issue with the plates feeling hotter than maybe the food actually is. I even sent it back to be reheated and it came back at the same (lukewarm) temp, even though the plate was quite hot. Just thought I'd mention that. Beautiful decor, although a bit loud (bouncy acoustics), even with only a scattering of lunch diners. The food was very good, as was the service. Pricey, but that's Buckhead.

The Food was Excellent, the service was very professional. I had the Trout w/ almonds on top with fresh green beans!!! Absolutely amazing and they had %100 score.

Yoko Mizuhara

Love the view into the kitchen and freshly made bread!

Mr DJ

The Brunch was ok but the Atmosphere and service was great!

Mike Theodore

Great food. Great wine selection.

Sterling Smith

The french fries were oh so very French

MaryAnne

What an enjoyable dinner- first tine there and we both loved it. Everyone was very friendly from the hostess to the waiters. We also loved the food and the atmosphere- just like being in a restaurant in Paris. I was impressed by how gracious and friendly the employees were- not usual for most restaurants in Atlanta. We will definitely be back!

Jenna Carroll

French food, mmm, super satisfying. Got there near seven, it wasn't very crowded. This place has a great atmosphere.

Mike Smith

Everything is overpriced for what you get. Good atmosphere though.

Jason Riley

Great place for a cocktail...very nice bar and a great Old Fashion!!!

The quality of their food has significantly declined, definitely. Most of our foods were served burned and not well seasoned. Either too salty or too bland. Bouillabaisse... was horrendous. They cannot call it Bouillabaisse. They told me it comes with lobster sauce, but I never imagined Bouillabaisse in that form: 2 pieces of fried fish fillet, 3 pieces of overcooked shrimps, 5 of a day old mussels “dipped” in canned lobster sauce. No saffron, no broth, no flavor. Only the taste of flour from canned sauce. And it was lukewarm. Fish were “fried” in oil on the stove. Unbelievable. Their lack of professionalism is disappointing. They shouldn’t sell food if they are not going to prepare the food properly.

Arthur Dwyer

Have been dinning at Bistro Niko since the first week it opened. Dinner on the eventing of April 12 was the worst experience I have ever had there. There was confusion at check in and neglected to provide me a table requested at reservation. Our waiter was the least professional I’ve ever encountered at a Buckhead Life Group property and last but probably most important the food was the poorest in preparation and presentation I’ve ever experienced in that restaurant. I would have to be convinced it was a rare occurrence before I went back to what was always one of my favorite dinning experiences. Are these the waning days of Bistro Niko ?

jacob rubenstein

Amazing food and service. Classic feeling atmosphere.

Alina D

Perfect place for brunch! Tasty food, nice atmophere and very good services

Edward LaBranche

Great service! Great classic French menu and beautiful atmosphere. Perfect for a special occasion. Escargot was the most memorable thing we had...loved it!!!!

Karim Chelouati

In my 32 years of living, I have never been to a bad French restaurant until I walked into this mess of a place. I will let your imagination do the rest. Bonne nuit mes amis.

Scott Rasmussen

The food and service are excellent. I had the opportunity to dine here twice within a few days and was impressed by the consistently excellent food. Not many places are on point for mid-week dining but Bistro Niko certainly was. I ordered a daily special and off the menu. Both meals were cooked perfectly and presented well. We will definitely be back.

Angela Cummings

I enjoyed what I ate. The ambiance was casual fine dining and our waiter was attentive. It us on the pricier end. They have a $39 combo of appetizer, entree, and dessert. So that gives you an idea about how much stuff cost there. But everything we had was good. I ordered the roast pork belly with mustard seed sauce as an appetizer and it was great. It actually could have been a meal along with a small salad and I would have been full. We also got the grill lamb sandwich and salad which was good. My friend got scallops with creamed spinach and it was great. And we got a small dessert. Everything was season well and brought out in a very timely manner

Tom Bommelje

Onion soup was cool when delivered to table. Halibut I had was over cooked but ok. Wife thought her dinner was wonderful as well as our shared dessert.

Joe Weir

A great bistro in ATL. I’ve been brunch, lunch and dinner and every time the food is well prepared.

Kellie Carter Griffin

A great go-to restaurant in the heart of Buckhead. Celebrate all things French

Dan Gutierrez

Food is good but it can be better. Their menu is large and varied but I haven’t had one item with some issues. The service is good (when they’re on top of their game), sometimes could be lengthy but the place just calls for socializing so I never mind waiting. The attention is great from servers and assistants. I love their bread sometimes even more than their food. The bar is a great place to start the visit. $$$$

Joel Kelly

As close to being in Paris as you can get...

Alice Bayless

My family and I dined at Bistro Niko last night. Although family members had previously dined there with somewhat positive experiences, our experience last night was far from positive. My son-in-law ordered a steak, and we were told that several steaks were sold out. We thought that was odd since it was only 6:30 PM. When our dinner was served,. all of the dishes were over cooked. My son-in-law wanted to send his state back, but our waitress never reappeared. My husband finally summoned another waiter to find our waitress. When she finally arrived, most of our family had finished eating. My son-in-law, at that point, decided there was no point in re-ordering his dinner. We will definitely never return. This might have been a good restaurant at some point, but the quality has definitely declined.

matt jay fortune

True 5 star dinning very good food as well as incredible service. Good wine and champagne options all the way to the bottle of dom... Great seafood as well as duck lamb and steak and the cream brulee at the end...all of 5 stars

Neil Bollers

Excellent food and service

Gregory Gamble

Excellent food and service

Cindy Thurmond

It was very loud. You couldn't even talk to your party or hear the waiter. The service was very bad and waited almost one hour for our food and then it was cold. Maybe because it was mother's day and they were busy. The food was good though. Don't think we would go back.

Jacob Gelbaum

The pepper mushroom burger is perfect for lunch...and you can swap out the French Fries for a salad to make yourself feel like you are trying to be more healthy!

Barry Smith

we went for happy hour. The bartenders were great in the mixed drinks were on point. You should definitely get the salmon flatbread, it was amazing.

Christopher Picou

Our group tried several different dishes and loved all of them. The staff was excellent and well as the food.

Mike Frank

Food was delicious. Service was pretty good. My waiter was fantastic but someone was walking toward me with my entree and I guess they got confused when they saw me eating my appetizer. They took it back to the kitchen and brought it out again after a few more minutes under the heat lamp. It was still good but it certainly didn't enhance the texture of the veil.

Leanne Wood

Very good meal and service. The cheese puffs are delicious!

natasha baptist

The shrimp appetizer was the best item that I ordered. Pasta was good but I've had better.

Pamela Pitman Brown

Food was excellent. Group of almost 10 but great service! Everyone enjoyed their food...wide variety! Terrific dessert..

Betsy Martin

Amazing date night place!!! Food is out of this world!!!

Myron Moody

Great Food and drinks... Ask for James the bartender. Great service

Kelly Elly

Good food and excellent bartender (he was the older guy) he made great recommendations and was very pleasant!

Joi Turner

Great food selection. So fresh. Good customer service. A very long wait (30 min) even with a reservation... But we did have 6 people in our party. Bar selection is really nice, top shelf and reasonably priced.

Jade Gaudet

GREAT experience and French food/wine! Very busy, lively atmosphere with super nice decor. The service and food were so excellent that I am here for the second night in a row during my trip to Atlanta. Donnie was particularly excellent. Just having moved from Europe, the wine menu and food warmed my heart. They also have a patio that’s awesome to enjoy a few glasses of wine.

Conner Gillespie

Bistro Niko is FANTASTIC. I love going here with my girlfriend, it's actually our favorite spot for a romantic dinner! If you're looking for a place that has excellent services, fantastic food (especially fantastic French cuisine), and a very pleasant decor and atmosphere, this is the place to go!

Desiree Metzger

Second time here. Sat at the bar this time, level of service didn't decrease. Everyone is friendly and attentive. Will be back for sure!

David Coburn

Bistro Niko is consistently excellent; I've been dozens of times and it's never disappointed. Service is highly attentive and efficient. Everything I've ordered has been great, in particular any of the fish, the duck breast, and the coq au vin. Cocktails and wine selection are also excellent. I highly recommend visiting.

Prerana Upadhyaya

Great atmosphere and great food. Our server was prompt and friendly with good knowledge of the menu.

What a great date spot! Bistro Niko is a very romantic place for a date. The food is excellent. I recommend the scallops and the french onion soup! The bread is also great, but don't fill up! Good wine, great service, excellent food, romantic spot.

Claudia

Wonderful atmosphere, great food, and friendly yet professional customer service. As a first time visitor to Atlanta from the Pacific Northwest, I can't wait to get back to Bistro Niko!

Madison Lambert

Everything on the menu was way overpriced. I got a $10 cup of soup that was SMALL. Husband got an omelette that was just bad. Also the music was playing so loud we couldn’t even speak to eachother

Ioanna Dragoumaniotis

Great food and even better ambiance. Love this place!

A M

My husband and I ate here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Everything was delicious and the service was spectacular!

Abhinav Poddar

classy is how you define the place and its food. you would not feel unwelcome here for one second. and presentation was worth paying for.

Simon Parrish

Appetizers are good. Not too crazy on entree. Must try flat bread (or pizza)

Ryan Bowers

Beautiful venue, great French menu, superb staff. This place is a must visit, especially for those that left their heart in France. Try the beef tartare, try the lamb, try every dessert.

james brown

Just a great place to spend an afternoon with a friend and a bottle of wine.

Andrew Landis

Bistro Niko was wonderful. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. French onion soup here is the best. They start preparing it at 6:00 am. There is a richness and depth to the flavor. I know this is odd, but the butter for the bread is so creamy it almost tastes like whipped cream. On to the entree, we had steak au poivre and the lamb. The steak could not have been cooked more perfectly. However, it had too much peppercorn for me (this is the way the dish was supposed to be prepared, nothing wrong, just not my preference). If you love that boldness of cracked pepper this is your dish. Overall a wonderful experience.

Amanda Vaughn

french food and the scene at this place is excellent. staff is always super even when they have a full house. i will be back with my relatives. prices that won't shock you. i can see why they have so many reviews.

Chris Ibikunle

Disclaimer: I'm biased. I'm in love with this restaurant. Consistently highest quality of haute cuisine, ambience and service. Bistro Niko is my go-to place for business and personal dinners

Ryan Forrest

Great dining experience. The staff is very attentive and engaging. Upscale/casual, my family had a great meal.

E

The service was slow, the food wasn't special at all.

Melissa Jenkins

We had a wonderful dining experience. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Food was very good. They surprised my husband and I with a decadent dessert for our 25th wedding anniversary. We look forward to our next dinner there.

ML Radcliffe

One of my favorite Restaurants. Best quiche in Atlanta

Jonathan Leftely

Nice staff, great food

Kevin Whitcomb

Great food and service

Keith Hobbs

Had my birthday dinner in the side room. Perfect!

Christine Lloyd

The staff is amazing. Everyone is really nice and professional. The food is not authentic French but it is delicious. The space is great: they is a quiet space for families, a big central open space, high tables an outside sitting area.

Wannes Robeyst

A nice place with friendly staff. The prices are not cheap but worth it. All of our steaks were perfectly done to order. And when ordering glasses of wine or wiskey they give generous portions.

hypraktiv

Great wine and great food. Steak Au poivre was amazing. Highly recommended.

George Jacob Houghtaling

I have dined here two times and enjoyed some delicious traditional French food and modern interpretations of French food. The atmosphere is very nice and subdued. It can be a bit noisy if the restaurant is full. The wait staff is excellent with attention to detail being one of the better places in Atlanta. Valet parking made it very easy to come here and enjoy. Recommended.

Lisa Jones

I had brunch on Sunday with friends and it was great! The place was inviting, cozy, great food; but, watch where you park. When I pulled up I saw valet parking thinking it would cost a bit to park so I parked in the little public space directly across the street for $5 until 6PM. After having a great time I left at 3:15pm and was confronted with boots on my car. Before I left the lot headed to the restaurant I paid my $5 and had my receipt from the machine. I called the number and I explained that my car was booted in error and come take the boots off. Long story short, they held my car hostage until I paid $40 dollars. They guy kept saying his supervisor said he needed half. Well, $40 is not half $75. He wouldn't let me speak to the supervisor. It ruined everything. It turns out that I could have valet parked for a very minimal fee. Bistro Niko, please put on your website to valet park at your restaurant for a small fee. Another friend parked in the regular parking and had to pay $18. Lovely place but the parking ruined it for me.

Cathy Fike

Great food, especially the scallops and asparagus dish. The place can get really noisy, so we usually ask for the room to the side. Last night we were celebrating a birthday, and our server, Victor, brought out a creme broulee with a lighted candle. We were already delighted with Victor and our evening at Bistro Niko, but that made it official. This is our favorite of the Buckhead restaurants.

Con Farley

The best scallops bar none!

Gemma Bardiau

Delicious drinks and food. Outside sitting is the best.

Steve Stefurak

Always high energy never disappoints.

Pamela Merrill

Had the scallop dish which was delicious, the scallops were cooked perfectly. The trout almondin is also a favorite. The service is attentive and never rushed.

Suzanne Burkin

I enjoyed celebrating my birthday here.

Jenny Casey

A two year time span since the last time I was there and it's still as good as I remember. The menu has a plethora of choices and all of them seem as good as the next. I love being able to sit outside during the warm summer evenings when the inside is active and boisterous, but you'd never know when enjoying the outside ambiance during a late night dinner. The Salzerac was delicious as was the Sancerre and the salmon tart was light filling, but I have to return for dessert as the complimentary warm bread filled me up.

Doug Buice

Hands down the best experience in Buckhead. The food is amazing and the service was impeccable. Price is about $100-$150 for 2 people with drinks. The only downsides are it was really loud for fine dining and the dress code wasn't very strict. We will be back for sure.

Kevin Wanamaker

Delicious food, lots of great gluten free food options.

Pam Fyffe

Excellent food. Excellent service.

Carla Baird

Lovely atmosphere, great service and excellent food. Nice valet parking in the heart of Buckhead. Very fun place.....highly recommended!

Maria SR

Food was great, ambiance was nice, and service was excellent.
