The Ponce Room Bar & Kitchen — Restaurant in Atlanta

Our team was in town to host a workshop for a sales development program I was running. We would looking for something close and casual for dinner.

Location: it’s conveniently located if you are walking - It’s right across the street from Fox in the courtyard by Marriott and we were staying at hotel indigo.

Parking: we walked

Service: Only a few ppl were in there getting drinks, so we didn’t wait at all for a table or service. We didn’t have to make reservations either.

Ambience/Crowd: hard to determine since we were the only ones in there besides the staff. The decor is very modern but it seems to be a more business casual environment.

Food/drink : 5/10 I have the wings and fries, being raised in the Atlanta area my expectations for wings is high but these were pretty good.

Favorite thing: the simplicity of the menu and the decor Least favorite thing: the tables, it was hard to have a conversation as a group because it wasn’t a “real booth”

Will I be back? Yes, the wings were good and it’s walking distance from...

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.

The atmosphere of this restaurant was great, however, the food and service were not. It took 20 minutes to be greeted by the time we were seated, and it took another 30 minutes to get our waters. It took an hour to get mimosas, and an hour and a half to get our food. I ordered the beignets, which were good, but the other brunch dishes that other people in our party ordered could be compared to hotel breakfast food. It was expensive considering the quality of the food. Cathy did a wonderful job checking on our table to ensure that everything we ordered was correct. I would definitely recommend eating somewhere else if you are in a time crunch to make it to your show at the Fox Theatre, because it’ll likely take at least an hour and a half to receive your food if they’re short...
