Knife Modern Mediterranean

Beautiful ambiance. Good food. Good drinks. Our waiter provided awesome service! Very accommodating with order adjustments.

First thing first, the service was great! I had an issue with one of the many entrees order and they remade it (The Branzino) even though it was almost time for them to close. I appreciate the staff and manager for making it happen because it was soooo good! From the appetizers, drinks, main course, and dessert, everything was perfection. I really recommend the fried lobster, the branzino, and the lava cake. I asked for a customized drink, pomegranate mule with tequila instead of vodka and they were able to make that as well! 10/10 recommend! FEMALE DJ for the win, she did her thing and we will be back!

I bring my exotic cars here, good place to network, best hookah in Atlanta, very professional service. Good food. Staff is very accommodating, 100% recommend.

The food and atmosphere was top notch. The service was excellent. They charge 20% gratuity which good with wife and I.

Very nice dining experience... music was a little loud food was very tasty and waitress was very attentive... would definitely visit again...

I was looking for a late night spot upon arriving in Atlanta in the late evening when most restaurants were already closed … so pleased with the service and delicious Mediterranean food…. Very authentic ! Best hummus and Greek salad I had in recent memory in the Usa… the pasta was overcooked and soft so I would not recommend unless that’s how you like it but everything else was delicious to me … the music was nice as well and the place looked stylish and clean …

For our anniversary we enjoyed the evening at Knife. The ambiance was smooth, the music was a vibe and at the perfect level. We were sat immediately and greeted with a warm welcome by Kaan. All of his selections from drinks to entrees were spot on. The kabobs were marinated just right and so juicy, the inferno marini was so refreshing, the shrimp ceviché was perfect. We will definitely be back.

What a birthday present! Although the patrons were few, my partner and I went here for my birthday and they waited on us like we were special! Food was fantastic! She had lamb chops and I chose the lamb shank! Fall off the bone, cooked to perfection!! We smoked a hookah, had some nice drinks, they gave us a couple of shots "on the house" for my birthday...and we got to listen to the DJ play mixes of Biggie and Tupac and other hip hop and rap that we both love. You have to take a photo by the rose wall art...it's a tradition!!

1st visit, celebrating my sis bday. Sexy atmosphere, lots of spots for photo opps. Drinks n food tasty. Great service from Elle at the bar. Only complaint for me was the mandatory valet at $20. Definitely recommended you put it on your to do list.

We *LOVEEEE* Knife. We have been 3 or 4 times and every single time the food is AMAZING. It’s reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The drinks are all good. The servers are always attentive and fast. Not to mention the restaurant is gorgeous with fun music. Highly recommend the beet salad, filet & shrimp kebabs

Our waitress (Alera, not sure how to spell her name!) was amazing. Super attentive and nice. The food was delicious and the ambience nice. Music a tad bit loud for a restaurant (to be able to speak) but maybe it was also the music choice. Other than that it really was a good experience.

My experience was excellent! The food, drinks and service were all great. For 2 people: appetizer, drinks and food was $180. The music was just right and not too loud. Valet parking was $20. I will definitely be returning for my birthday celebration!!

Great atmosphere. Kokorech:) Great Pilav/ Rice. Matzo in the Knife Salad :) Creative and Delicous. Adored the place. Bravo

The ambience here is amazing and we had phenomenal service. To top it off, the drinks and food are great.Even though the drinks are a little pricey and for parking $,20 is steep+

I celebrated my birthday at Knife, and it was everything I wanted and more. From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the vibe — stylish, energetic, and perfect for a night out. The music was on point all night, the food was absolutely delicious, and the hookah was top-tier. It felt like the kind of place where you lose track of time because you’re genuinely having such a great time. Perfect for celebrations or just a fun night with friends. I can’t wait to come back — Knife definitely knows how to create an experience. ✨🔥

We had an incredible dinner experience at Knife Modern Mediterranean! Our server, Ali, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious, the hookah was smooth and enjoyable, and the romantic atmosphere made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great service, excellent food, and a beautiful setting!

Dear reader, I am not from Georgia but last night while staying in Buckhead, I decided to try Knife because the menu caught my attention and it was just minutes from my hotel. From the photos, I anticipated a quieter environment where I could sit back and collect my thoughts, instead I was surprised by a more lively and energetic atmosphere. One that won me over. I dined alone, and found myself enjoying the experience. The menu was superb, the chicken thighs were easily some of the best I've had in a long time. The two desserts I ordered were deeply satisfying. I want to give special recognition to Alera, for such a large and busy establishment, she delivered what I can confidently say was one of the best service experiences I've ever had. Her proactiveness, attention to detail, and one of a kind personality elevated the entire evening. Her presence, and high level of service turned a solo dinner into a memorable experience. Between the outstanding food, and in my opinion one of the best waitresses I've ever encountered. This restaurant left a lasting impression. I will recommend this location to anyone I meet who plans to visit Atlanta.

We had a lovely experience at Knife while celebrating my brother’s anniversary. The cake was presented beautifully, with a fancy plate decoration and “Happy Anniversary” written so nicely,it truly made the moment feel special. Nick checked on us during dinner, along with a couple of other staff members, and their attentiveness made us feel really well taken care of. A great place for special occasions would definitely recommend.

Lamb kabobs, beet salad, hummus were just delicious. Our server was excellent and helped with a mock cocktail suggestion that was great. Three of us --two sisters and a cousin--from out of town were lucky to find Knife and get a reservation. Sophisticated, yet warm, we loved it!

I had an amazing experience! Our server, SIERRA, was absolutely phenomenal—so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She gave great recommendations that made the meal even better. The food itself was delicious, and Chef METIN clearly knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Omg Knife is one of my favs!!!! I had the lamb chops and I ate them to the bone! The food came out quick and hot!!!! The music was a vibe. Just enough where you can hear it but not too loud… the drinks were amazing and strong!!!! And to top it off, our waitress “Z” was the absolute best! Her charisma was the icing on the cake. Very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu etc. we will be asking for her table next! Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience!

Oh my God! this place is absolutely stunning. The ambience is refined, grown, and sexy pure luxury from the moment you walk in. It was everything I needed to celebrate my birthday properly. The appetizers and entrées were exquisite, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Every detail felt intentional. The addition of hookah was the perfect elevated touch that truly set the experience apart. I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my birthday here and honestly can’t believe I didn’t leave a review sooner. This establishment is definitely a 10/10 and delivers luxury at its finest.

I ate the lobsteravioli and absolutely loved it. I learned it's homemade, which is a great achievement. I highly recommend it to everyone. The restaurant's atmosphere is beautifully captured; I loved it. There was a marriage proposal today, and a sign was written saying "Will you marry me?". I recommend it to everyone, and I especially recommend trying the seafood pasta.

Beautiful restaurant with decent food. Didn’t love the calamari but the salmon was good

The food was actually good. The service was ok. The Birthday celebration was not as advertised. I was actually a little upset about that. You have to pay to park near the restaurant in an unpaved parking lot smh. Overall I’m not super eager to go back but it was a horrible experience.

My husband and I came here the night before Valentine’s Day. The atmosphere is incredible and definitely has a luxury feel to it. Our waiter was very friendly and paid close attention to our drinks. I got the seafood linguine. It was quite tasty, but the mussels were pretty fishy tasting. My husband was a little less impressed with his meal. He got the salmon, which he said was just okay…not bad for sure, but not worth the price. I’d be interested in coming back, my husband would not. If we did, we’d be more inclined to try one of their kabobs. Our reservation was for 6:30 and the restaurant was empty. But it quickly filled up, and as we were leaving, you could tell the vibe was changing. If you want to enjoy the Knife as a restaurant, I’d suggest going early than 7:30. If you want to enjoy it as a lounge, come a little later. Parking was great. Very reasonably priced valet.

Took my daughter there for her birthday. It is very expensive. The entrees are small for the price. My son ordered a burger, and it tasted burnt. The best part of the meal was the lamb shank. It was super tender. The knife mule was also very good. The waiter only spoke to my fiancé initially, which was off-putting for me. I am typically the one that has to order for all of us, and the waiter kept looking to him. The meals came out in proper time, and the longest wait time was to receive our check. They automatically charge 20% gratuity to any check over $100. Valet service is free until 10:30pm, which was nice because they have very limited parking and it's difficult to find parking in the surrounding areas.

This was my first time visiting Knife ( 2/13/2026). The food was good and my waiter was nice. The aesthetic of the restaurant was nice as well.

Beautiful place in decor! They have the knife spelled in red for instagram photos! However Very lackluster service, had to ask him to come to our table when we been sitting for at least 15 minutes while he waited on a couple in the booth next to us who already ate. He was making sure they had wine. Presentation of the food was great! But it is okay in taste. However the bar guy was great! I wouldn’t go back sorry. 😞only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because we felt like they didn’t care if we were there or not. With that being said I will take my money elsewhere.

The restaurant is visually stunning and made a great first impression, but the service didn’t live up to it. We waited 20 minutes without water or acknowledgment. Our server eventually showed up and tried to make it better, but had a bit of an attitude—and we never got her name. It was my birthday (noted in the reservation), but it went unacknowledged, which was disappointing. The entrees tasted good, but the plates looked sloppy, and my lamb was medium rare instead of the medium I asked for. On top of that, parking was $20. Overall, a nice atmosphere and decent food, but too many service missteps to fully enjoy the experience. For a $300 meal for 2, I expect everything to be immaculate.

The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent. The food is beautifully presented and is cooked to perfection but it is tasteless and bland. The vegetables don't even have any flavor. I've never experienced anything like it. Everything was so beautiful but tasted like nothing. Everything would have been delicious with a little seasoning. We spent $250 for tasteless food lol

I hate to rate this place as average because our server was truly genuine and on point, but don't believe the hype. First off, valet parking is your only option if you're not ready to risk getting towed parking somewhere else. Decor was ok, but something seemed lacking.... (I like a good steakhouse/smoking room ambience). The mocktails were good; as our entire table ordered a different selection when only 1 person doesn't drink. Appetizers were better than our main entrees. All of our main courses were either overcooked, too gummy or dried out. For the prices they are charging, the chefs or cooks should have done a better job. (Yes, they offered and we requested our cooking temperatures.) With a reserved time limit set per table (2 hours), we didn't send the food back but voiced our displeasure with our meals to the staff. Our group decided to get dessert somewhere else to finish off the evening. Considering our party, under 6 people and everyone's check was under $100 individually; a 20% gratuity was included in our bills, we naturally didn't leave any additional funds for the waiter. Will not be going back because the whole experience wasn't worth the $400 we spent collectively (Doesn't include valet parking of $20/vehicle + $1 charge for using a card to pay).

Okay so while is already heard about this place being underwhelming, I was taken here and hoped that we would have a different experience. First I wish valet had a different setup because you drive past the door to get to valet and then have to walk back the arrow walk to get back to the door as others are driving up. Then with the way the place presents itself, its overall value lessens once my purse is searched at the door. I get it… but damn. Now the decor in the place is beautiful, they really paid attention to this! But if you are planning on going for a date or maybe for a business dinner, don’t do it! You won’t be able to hear yourselves as there was a live DJ and people sing along at times - like it’s the club. Now is you like that sort of thing, the DJ was great in his own right! Maybe this is just a Saturday thing. Do yourself a favor and call and ask. The restaurant also promotes a dress code but then I look up and there are people there jeans, sneakers, two guys were in timbs and one had on a hoodie (smoking hookah) in a booth. (I thought maybe they worked there ).There were people at the bar one had on a baseball cap! There were large groups where everyone is dressed up and some random person looks like they were pulled off the street. Seriously??!! And that’s another thing, hookah is not needed everywhere!!!!!!! That alone brings a different clientele but hey everyone is smoking so I guess it’s making them a bunch of money. You will smell nothing but the mix of different hookahs instead of the food. (Such a shame). I don’t know if the booths have them but please add some purse hooks to your little tables. We were seated next to the tree and me and the woman on the other side literally placed our purses in decor bc we couldn’t hang them on our chairs (ex. Purses either really small straps) Now our waitress was really sweet! And pretty attentive though it took forever to be asked if we wanted dessert or to get the check. (Even still it was super busy and she was great)! I wish I remembered her name but she was the entire highlight of the evening bc the food was VERY UNDERWHELMING! Very little taste, and not seasoned well at all.For the price you pay, I expect the food to be memorable! They really missed the mark here and that’s such a shame! If you are a group (large group) ask ahead of time to be seated at a table bc the way people were STUFFED into the round booths looked very uncomfortable!!!!!! Also only one vegetarian option apart from salad. That back wall where everyone takes photos by the restroom - you need to time your restroom break bc GROUPS of women piled back there and into the bathroom to take photos (just to show they were at “Knife” 🙄 and there simply isn’t enough space. As you leave to get your car from valet, you have to walk again past cars coming in to claim your car with no where to really wait. So you walk back and up the stairs or stand in the driveway and then back through the line of cars coming in to get your car on the other side. It would be really nice if you did that in the outdoor space by the door or a completely different area altogether.

Food was ok but not worth the price! They gave us 1/2 glass of cheap champagne with the meal. Service was horrible. Was not expecting to be eating while people are smoking hookah...never again

I really had high hopes for this place but it was a disappointment at every turn. The service was absolutely horrible. The food was pretty good so I’ll give them that. Be mindful of the $20 valet charge if you do drive in. The terrible experience started at the very beginning when our server lied and said parties 4 or more can’t split a check as soon as we sat down. No one asked about the bill or inquired as we had just arrived so the timing of the delivery was interesting. On top of the fact that we were cousins celebrating a birthday and we were never even planning on splitting. Then the server came to the table in the middle of dining and said we had to move to a different table because they wanted to seat a larger party where we were. We were confused as we were in the middle of our experience and the waitress then informed us that the order came from someone else and they thought we had already been informed. Once we made it clear it was inappropriate to tell us we were being moved in the middle of dining especially since we had a reservation the waitress said “let’s pretend like that didn’t happen” and proceeded to act normal. We had an issue with receiving pictures we paid for. Everyone we asked for help claimed they didn’t work there. We had to hunt down the photographer for photos ourselves after paying $40 for them. We even tried to ask the hostess for help who was extremely rude and then told us she also didn’t work there?? We asked six different people for help and they all claimed they were independent and don’t work at the restaurant. Even once we found the photographer they sent us photos of random people in the restaurant that we didn’t know. The level of unprofessionalism is laughable. I would never come here again.

The hummus was fire!!! The atmosphere was great! The Server was friendly. But the steak and the asparagus tasted like charcoal. No other flavor. The steak was definitely not dried aged and not a good cut of meat at all. The mashed potatoes taste like they were made from a box. Honestly this is just a place for photos. Not worth my money.

Review: 1 star I really wanted to enjoy this place, but the entire experience was disappointing. When we arrived, there was no parking option other than valet, and it was $20 up front. That was already frustrating, but we still went in hopeful. We had a 9:30 reservation and were seated immediately, which was the only smooth part of the evening. We were seated in a section where no one else was placed the entire time, and it felt like we were forgotten. Our waitress rarely checked on us. It took about 45 minutes between each of her visits. We kept having to wait on basic things. I ordered the Brussels sprouts and noticed they were listed as $11 on the appetizer menu and $6 as a side. I asked if there was a difference and was told there wasn’t. They came out bland and underwhelming. Just fried Brussels sprouts with a little balsamic drizzle. Honestly, one of the worst versions I’ve tried, especially for the price. The food overall was subpar and did not match the high price tag. Nothing felt special or worth what we were paying. The manager did come by and offered us a complimentary drink and cheesecake for a birthday, which we appreciated at the time, but we never received them. An hour later, she came back and said they forgot. When it was finally time to leave, we still had to wait about 45 minutes just to get the check. 20% gratuity was automatically included. For the level of service we received, that felt unfair. Also, they had fried ice cream for $25 that wasn’t listed on the menu. The prices here don’t match the quality of the food or the service at all. Overall, this was not a good experience and I would not return or recommend it.

This place very beautiful but the service and food lacked. When you pull in they have valet services which was very nice especially seeing that it wasn’t much parking. I came for a birthday event so once we arrived we were seated right away. After some time our waiter came and filled everyone’s glass with sparkling water which was never advised would be $8 a bottle until we seen it on the bill at the end. We ordered drinks and shots but the drink I ordered didn’t taste like what was described on the menu. When I asked I was advised I had the correct drink. Once the food came out I originally had the lamb with a well done stick showing and they argued me up and down the stick was just wrong seeing that I asked for it to be cooked medium. My waiter took my plate and came back mins later with the stick showing that it was cooked medium but when I cut into the lamb it was very over cooked and far from Medium. While we were wrapping things up the waiter came over and asked if we could clear from The table because they had another party waiting on the table! No way to treat a table that just paid almost a $1000! I definitely feel like it wasn’t worth the drive or money to get your food cooked incorrectly and horrible service.

Horrible service - came here for Valentine’s Day & the they were sold out of most of their menu items that were listed on the pre-organized menu (this was the most disorganized restaurant experience I’ve ever had & I’ve traveled quite frequently throught the United States). The five course meal was extremely small portions for 2. They had lobster ravioli on the menu and gave us 1 singular ravioli lol. The wait times between each meal was 40 mins - 1hr, which was ridiculous, The AC was blasting in the middle of February and the service was extremely poor - please do not waste your money going to this restaurant. Multiple ppl complained to the manager as well.

Took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day. We were really looking forward to experiencing the restaurant how we saw it presented online. Firstly, Knife is probably a nice place, but we didn’t get to see it, because we were placed in a private room, on the lower level of the building, with a few other groups who also paid for the Valentine’s Day experience. As for the food, I didn’t mind the prix fixe menu, but for $300 (almost $400 when it was all said and done), there could’ve been more options and better quality food. Lastly, our waiter wasn’t the best. Other than to bring out the food, he didn’t tend to us at all. No checking to see if we needed anything, no refilling our water, and at one point he even ignored us trying to get his attention. Knife might be a good place for hookah and drinks, but from our experience, providing customers with a quality dining experience, especially for the money, doesn’t seem to be a priority here.
