Food 101

This restaurant is AMAZING! One of the best dining experiences that I've had in Atlanta in a long time. The service is 'on point'. Our server, Pam, was attentive and professional. The chef, Jordan, came to our table to greet us. BTW, he's quite handsome(o: I couldn't believe the quantity and the quality of the food for the price. How the heck can they afford to serve food that is grown locally, free of hormones and additives?! I don't know. Food 101 is a shining example of what a patrons expectation should be when dining out. SALUTE.....

Pros: The atmosphere, food, service....everything!

Cons: Are you kidding?

Thank you Food 101 for a FANTASTIC dinner! The service was perfect and the Dirty martini was spot on! It was great addition to my Trout! I have never seen this before but, Food 101 offers chocolate covered bacon for dessert; it is the perfect combination of sweet and salty - everyone should try it! Thank you again for such a wonderful dining experience!

Pros: Wonderful service and a good martini

I had my birthday dinner at Food 101 last night! The food was fantastic! I started with the Ahi Tuna, Oysters and Shrimp - perfect. Our table had the Kobe Burritto, Ravioli and Trout for entrees and it was all delicous! If you save room - try the chocolate covered bacon, yummy. Food 101 is a must visit!

Pros: Amazing Ahi Tuna, Friendly Staff, Fantastic Atmosphere

Cons: None!

I feel like I'm at Food 101 every day. I've tried just about everything on the menu and my taste buds have never been let down. The Kobe Beef Burrito is to die for. My recipe for a perfect dinner is as follows;
1. Choose a wine.(You can't go wrong)
2. 2 words: Tuna Tostadas.
3. Remember your greens, I recommend the Arugala Salad.
4. Pick an entree. Fried Chicken, Kobe Burrito(or Kobe Burger), Scallops, Salmon, do you want me to list them all? I can.
5. Rub your belly, and say "Thank You" to Food 101 for a perfect meal and perfect service.
6. You can go home now.

Yes, I'm a fan.

Pros: Wonderful choice of Apps, Entree, and Great Wines!

Cons: I only have one stomach.

I dine at the Sandy Springs location. I love how the interior is designed. I love the warm, friendly staff. The wait staff is impressively knowledgeable about the menu items/daily chef specials. The food is GREAT, and they do not turn their noses up, when you want to make slight changes to the menu items.....hard to find in Atlanta. When I order a half Coke/half Diet Coke, they do not look at me crazy. Again, very accommodating, very warm, family friendly (but not like a McDonald's). It's a tasteful, elegant combination of food & atmosphere that appeals to everyone.
***AGAIN-DO NOT MISS THE BRUNCH***

Pros: great food, welcoming staff, CLEAN, comfortable seating

Cons: none come to mind

I had been driving past Food 101 for years, and had never been until earlier this year. Now I have gone at least twice a month since then. The food is always amazing. The only problem I have is that I can never decide what I want because EVERYTHING sounds good.

The service was great! She was really fun and made martini suggestions that were awesome. I had wine with dinner, and they have a great wine selection. Half priced on Sundays!!

I highly recommend this place!

Pros: Great specials, awesome service, yummy martinis

Cons: parking is sometimes an issue

Pros: Fantastic Service

I really enjoy coming here because of the amazing wines and specials. The chefs use alot of local and organic produce and the menu changes seasonally which is so great. My favorite is the cheese platters and the meatloaf is to die for !! Even my 3 year old asks for it !!

Each time we are in Atlanta, my husband and I always have brunch or dinner at "Food 101". The best place in town for sure! Not only the atmosphere is relaxing and elegant but the food is to die for. I love to order "eggs benedict filled with crab meat". My husband likes their juicy hamburgers and pork chops because each time they are cook to perfection. To compliment these great dishes they have the best wine selections found outside of my home in France. In addition, the employees are courteous and professional. If you have not tried this restaurant yet, be sure that you do real soon.

Pros: best hors-d'oeuvres in town

Posted 05/05/09

I am at Food 101 monthly with friends or clients. The service is always good and they always just the right choice for my palate whether it is a light salad or hearty meal.

Pros: Light and Gourmet Lunches Available

Cons: None

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants- we spent valentine's at Food 101 and I had a birthday party here in their private dining room-

This restaurant is casual, but a fantastic menu with lots of different items to choose from. One of my personal favorites is the seared ahi tuna- YUM!
Highly recommend Food 101 to anyone looking for a great spot in the north buckhead/sandy springs area!

Pros: Great spot for private party

Cons: Reservations good idea on weekends

Food 101 on Roswell Road has exceeded my expectations. I've gone to Food 101 for after work drinks, for dinner out with the girls, and have had happy hour meetings there. This past fall, I held an Art & Appetizers event in the restaurant and it went flawlessly--my clients loved the food, the severs took care of everything quietly, and the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. While we were setting the event up, Steve realized that I hadn't eaten lunch and gave me THE BEST BURGER IN TOWN. I highly recommend Food 101 on Roswell for any event be it a date, a girls night out, couples dinner, or a party event. Thanks so much Steve!!

Pros: Amazing owner; hospitality; accomodating; DELISH food!

Posted 05/04/09

This evening I took a few business clients to dinner at Food 101 located off of Roswell Road. The menu looked impressive on line but, was even better in person! I tried the mussels and the sweet potato ravioli and it was fantastic! If your looking to impress, Food 101 is a great option.

Pros: Food and Service - Excellent

Posted 05/04/09

An absolute culinary experience for the palate!I love thi s place. I can not go there enough to try all thats on the menu.

My wife loves the Arugula salad and the shrimp and grits!
Myself I go for the Allen brothers strip steak!!!!

Love theis place!!!!

Pros: food creativity and taste experience

Cons: if there was one I'd be shocked

Posted 05/04/09

Great service, great food at a great price. When we asked our waiter how the chef cooked an entree, the chef himself came to the table and told us exactly how he prepared our meal, it was a great touch to our already fabulous meal. Great take out for Chastain nights, the table next to you will be jealous of your awesome spread from Food 101.

Posted 05/04/09

We really enjoyed our recent dinner here. The menu has a great selection of southern favorites. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great - lots of exposed brick. From the outside, I would never have guessed that the inside would look the way it does. The service was wonderful and attentive. We will definitely go back.

Pros: Menu, Atmosphere

Cons: None

I am a regular of the Food 101 in Morningside and wanted to give their other location a try. The ambiance is different with more dark woods and more of a classic feel to it. The had live music and a busy Satruday night crowd, different then the crowd in Morningside. I had the Filet and my husband had the fried chicken, they both were excellent. Service was great and parking was easy. I now can recommend both locations.

Pros: service and food

Cons: a little noisy

Posted 08/25/06

The food is very good here. Nothing spectacular but it is a great place to get a nice salad and piece of fish. A very good idea for a week night date. The wine list also has some great selections although I would be happier with a few less expensive white wines by the glass not just chardonnay. There are some great reds for $6 which I loved.

I recently use Food 101's catering arm Catering 101 for three corporate events and the food was FABULOUS! The chef and his team created three amazing menus that suited each event and theme. The food was delicious, while the staff/service was excellent and professional. I would work with them again and again.

Pros: Delicious, Professional, Reasonable

Posted 11/15/04

The food at Food 101 was superb, from the appetizers to the entrees to the dessert. The rack of lamb was perfect, and the crab/shrimp cakes were melt in your mouth delicious. Service was atentive and knowledgeable.

Pros: great entrees, romantic setting

Our server, Nancy, knew the menu and specials by heart. She was upbeat, enthusiastic, yet not flirty with my date. The HUGE portion of Yankee Pot Roast was a delight (first time I've ever eaten pot roast other than my mom's). The lighting and atmosphere were perfect. Great for a date or with friends.
