Best

Often frequenting the city of Atlanta, GA for business, my husband and I felt we had to include Kyma...

Worst

Overrated is the one word that comes to mind when I think of Kyma. Our party of eight was poorly treated by both the staff and the food on a not-too-busy Saturday night. First...

Best I have had in Atlanta! 6/14/2006

Excellent service and food! Prompt and courteous service. Excellent menu selections. Good for groups or an intimate dinner for 2. Outside looked very cozy. Great value for the amount of food and the quality of our meals. Pros: Seafood selection. Nice wine selection. Cons: Small bar area. more

Exquisite Greek Food 5/27/2006

Kyma delivered the most delectable meal we have had in ages. You really must try the meza (appetizer) dinner -- you get five appetizers (your choice) and one whole fish for $42 per person. Some items have a slight additional charge -- like the octopus and sole -- but everything was absolutely amazing and well worth the cost. Service was also top notch. Go early to avoid the crowds and get the best service, and try the pomegranite martini for a real treat! Pros: small plates, seafood, service Cons: must valet park more

User review by caribbean711 3/28/2006

though the food was good and the service good, there isn't much about this restaurant, other than the location, to make it special. i guess it depends on what you are looking for. if your over 45, you'd probably like it more than i did. more

Great food, Ok service 3/5/2006

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night and had a great evening. Although we were not seated promptly and our drinks took over 20 minutes, I enjoyed their signature Kyma Cosmo and all of our food. One of our apps were wrong and my salad was never delivered, but at the end of the night I checked and it was not on the bill, so our server obviously forgot it all together. Oh well... The food was still great, even though the service was okay. Our server was informative about all of the dishes and had great recommendations. Pros: Food, Price Cons: Service is only so-so, Tables are very tight more

Great Food, Bad Service 12/8/2005

The food was remarkable. The lamb chops are the best I have ever had but, the service was awful. We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation time. Also the service was extremely slow and the manager was rude. This by far, was the worst service I have ever had at a Buckhead Life Group restaurant. We did have a large party (8) and that may have contributed to the slow service. However, no matter how large our party is my drink should never be empty (it took 20 minutes to get another drink) and the manager should never be rude to a customer. It is a shame that the service was so bad that night. I really enjoyed the food and would like to go back but, I can not after being treated so badly. Pros: Food Cons: Service more

Great experience 11/12/2005

Went with my gf. The interior design was very nice...but I think the pictures on the web made it a lot grander than it was. The service was INCREDIBLE. Waitress was very attentive, hostess however was condescending. Unlike NY or Cali, we were the only asians in the restaurant. Kinda felt a little special. The octopus, scallops, and shrimp small plates tasted great. However, the fish that we shared at the end was not to our taste. Maybe we just weren't accustomed to the manner of cooking fish. Was very bland and lacked spice and flavor. However, the dessert was a chocolate thing with ice cream on the side. We shared this with some Greek coffee...the best dessert I've ever had. Completely made the dinner worth it. Thumbs up~! Pros: Service, Decor, Food Cons: Hostess more

Disappointing service 11/11/2005

I have always enjoyed the entire experience at the Buckhead Life establishments. I was unfortunately disappointed this time. The food was good and so were the drinks but the service left a lot to be desired. The waiters were rude and left the table before taking everyone's order. Later the waiter spilled an entire drink down my friends back and not only did not apologize but blamed her for it. The manager was not much more accommodating. He half heartedly made an attempt to apologize claiming to pick up her dry cleaning bill and then never returned with his card to follow through. It took the waiter 30 minutes to get our check to us and left us as the last to leave. So if you are only going to Kyma for the food and nothing else you will be satisfied. Otherwise, save your money! Pros: Good Food Cons: Terrible Service! more

Great Date place. 11/4/2005

Well. Im back with a review of a Buckhead life restaurant again. I like their restaurants. They are classy and upscale and the food and service is good too. Kyma did not dissapoint. However unlike their sister restaurant Pricci, the service lacked one key element. We had three people who waited on us and for some reason they kept hurrying us. We like sitting and chilling and enjoying our dinner. Getting hustled for time did not really sit well with me. Other than that, the food was good. They had Valet which is always a positive , a Standard high end restaurant. A good place to go on a date or just with friends. Pros: Food, ambience Cons: hurried service staff more

Excellence exists, It's called ""Kyma"" 10/18/2005

Every expectation we had was met or exceeded. Decor and ambience top notch. Luxurious and cozy with a star lit ceiling and walls of candlelight. The waitstaff was courteous, knowledgable, attentive and detailed oriented, but never in your face. They had a relaxed way about them that reminded you that you were always in good hands. There is an extremely talented team behind the scenes as well. From the spreads at the beginning to things like crispy calamari, wood grilled oysters ,and mussels in a pot. Then their specialty, wood grilled fish and I recommend it. Grilled whole, bone in and head on, offers flavor integrity you dont get from just a filet. The fish is then deboned and fileted before bringing it table side. Expertly done from beginning to end. You can pay for a lot more for a lot less. Trust me on this one. Well done Kyma. Pros: Setting, Service, Food more

So-So 10/6/2005

We chose to dine outdoors and that is the best part of this review, the ambiance is so nice, lots of candles, it really feels mediterranean. The food is okay, I'd definitely say overrated, but not bad. Lamb chops are fatty but flavorful, spanakopita is greasy, not enough feta in it. Drinks are strong, in some cases too strong, but I'd go back b/c the patio is nice for drinks and appetizers with a group. Pros: Patio Cons: Food, service more

Gourmet Greek at its Best 9/24/2005

We loved eating at Kyma. We are used to traditional Greek food, but we just fell in love with everything about this restaurant. The food was phenomenal and the wine was great. Go on a holiday or Valentines for the full course menu with wine pairing. Although expensive, it is well worth the treat - at least once in your life - if not many times. This is one of our favorite restaurants ever. Pros: Food, Ambiance, Staff Cons: Buckhead more

WOW! 9/21/2005

My wife and I went to Kyma for Valentine's Day this year. We weren't too impressed because of the limited set menu. We decided to come back and give it another try for our anniversary in September...WOW! I'm soo glad we did. We got the Meza appetizer dinner (choice 5 appetizers and 1 whole fish to share). It was kind of pricey but we left soo satisfied and FULL. Everything they put in front of us was delicious...and this was only the appetizers! They didn't have the Red Snapper that day but recommended a very delicious Greek fish. We highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys quality food and doesn't mind paying for it. Opa! Pros: Appetizers, Ambiance, Seafood Cons: Expensive more

I left full 7/2/2005

My wife and I ate here recently and enjoyed the experience very much. This establishment makes a good impression from the very beginning. The look and feel upon entering is magnificent, added to by a warm greeting from the host we felt as welcomed visitors. After being seated our server came by promptly and greeted us by name, a very good start to an excellent meal. He took our drink order and explained a few things about the menu. We had done some research before our visit and deciced quickly we wanted to have the five meze and whole fish dinner. At $36.00 each we felt this was a good value, after dinner we felt it was a great value. The food was quite good and the servings were plentiful, and I am not considered a light eater. Pros: service, food, ambience Cons: valet parking more

cheezy and a poor value 5/16/2005

The service was slow, but that didn't really bother me, since I was on a 1st date, I thought maybe the waiter noticed we were not paying to much attention to our menus. They are very honest, they speecialize in small plates, this is the perfect place to go if you are on a diet, and you don't care throwing your money away, other wise don't bother. The Cocktails are very good. Pros: atmosphere, cocktails Cons: poor value, food not up to par more

Wonderful Seafood/Dining 1/22/2005

My husband and I had an exceptional evening here last week. We ordered the meze dinner which included 5 small plates and a choice of whole fish, woodgrilled and filletted along with pita and a sample of spreads. The octopus, prawns, crabcake, scallops and fish were all amazing. Each so full of distinct flavors without being overbearing. The pacing of the meal in combination with the service of our sweet waitress and the candle lit filled room made for a wonderous and romantic evening. The greek yogart with honey dessert was unique. Kyma's predominantly seafood menu will not disappoint you. Pros: food, service, ambience more

Best Seafood in ATL 9/13/2004

No other restaurant in Atlanta serves fish as good as Kyma. Whole fish cooked over wood fire will convert even the most ardent land lover. My wife and I ordered the 5 meze combination, which allowed us to choose five appetizers and split a whole fish for an entrée for just $35 each. The prawns were plump and juicy, the octopus was amazing, and the stuffed grape leaves and the crab cake were excellent. The only low was the Greek sausage, which was drowned in a plain tomato sauce with too many bell peppers. The whole fish entrée was spectacular. Even though we were already full from the appetizers, the wood grilled fish kept us eating. Finally, we finished our meal with a Greek yogurt drizzled with honey, which was light, sweet and tart. This was a Great Meal! Pros: Best Seafood in ATL, Great Value, Incredible Variety Cons: Valet only more

Outstanding food, poor service 7/6/2004

The atmosphere and the food at Kyma were both fantastic. However, the service did not match the food. The server was very nice and informative, but very inattentive. He spent a long time talking at other tables, which left us waiting long periods of times to order our drinks, to order our dessert, to get our check, and to have our check picked up. I would go back for the food, but I hope I get a different server next time. Pros: Great food, good atmosphere Cons: , expensive more

Outstanding 9/5/2003

We visited Kyma with another couple and had a great meal. The stuffed grape leaves and the greek salad were outstandng. The fish was cooked to perfection and the drinks were very good. The waiter was very informative. I recommend an espresso martini after dinner. Great meal would go again. Pros: appitizers, drinks Cons: noisy more
