by VinDivine R. on PRO: Good vibe & people watching, great bar scene and awesome Lil' Big Macs! CON: Inconsistency! Dining experience kinda sucked.... **check out more reviews from NYC, SF and beyond on VinDivine. URL on our profile** So this is the tale of two tastings. Damn, alliteration again. Shit. Why a tale of two tastings, you ask? 'Cuz we went here twice, Einstein. Once last weekend when we were 'wowed' and since we were so impressed with the sliders and scene, came again last Friday for the Full Monty. Mistake. First, this place is definitely cool. Great space and design and lighting and bar and pretty people and..and...vibe. We were here pretty early on MLK day I think, around 6:30. Swaggered up to the bar and grabbed a couple drinks. STK is a great spot to have a bevvie or three! They have a cool bar and lounge area, and about 1,000 horns mounted above the bar. Watusi's, I believe.And believe me, I know a Watusi when I see one. 'Nuff said. We ordered some Lil Big Mac Sliders. Why are they they The Best F'ing Sliders Ever? 1) They're Wagyu cows, the snobbiest and most pretentious bovine roaming the earth. Quite bitchy I've heard. Even bitchier than a Watusi b) They were perfectly cooked...say it with me...RARE 3) Served on a fresh yummy black sesame seed bun that is smaller than the patty and c) comes with a slice of black truffle that neither overpowers or conflicts with the taste of the burger..Indeed, I say it does the perfect job of complementing the Wagyu. and 5) oozy good cheese and a special little sauce. OK, is that proof enough, hater? Good. We were so giddy we made resies for a full-on dinner extravaganza the next Friday @ 9. Bam. Wait. I mean Bum. As in Bummer, dude. We arrived, looking quite dashing I may say, just in time for our 9PM resies. We were warmly greeted by a huge doorman. I think he thought I might be Kevin Bacon. Whatever. We got the star treatment, grabbed a cocktail and a seat in the lounge area and got ready for an hour wait. But no! Within 20 minutes our dude came and showed us our table. Lemme tell ya, fella this place is a zoo. I mean that as a huge compliment. Or is it complement? Hmmm. I hate that. Kinda like 'effect'or 'affect'. Thank Larry & Sergei for Google. We had a couple next to us gettin' it on. Were they not leaving 'til 5 in the morn'? A table full of haters telling them to get a room, a couple coke heads next to us talking at about 200 decibels and about 200 MPH. Lotsa chicks in not much, great scene. Our server came right over. Let's jump ahead and call him a...what is a really dumb yet friendly animal? I like dogs. So let's go with that. A Labrador? I'm afraid I'll offend Labs everywhere with this, but whatever. We ordered and ordered fast. We knew what we wanted. The Lab obeyed. Here we go: Filet Medallions ($22), Hamachi Crudo ($16), an encore of the Lil' Big Mac Sliders ($25), Mac & Cheese ($9), and Mixed Mushrooms ($9). Stk manilogo What ensued? Man oh Manischewitz the STK train jumped the tracks on this one. I rarely get pissed off. And I got PISSED OFF. We could have sent the entire meal back to those idiots.Let's break it down for ya: First, they didn't course anything. Our table got bum rushed with everything at once! I got a little heated on that. It's like, really? But for some reason we took it. Up the ol...you get it. So the Filet Medallion...was not medallions, but a chuck of Filet. We ordered Medallions! Bad dog. The meat was pretty good, could have been a little more rare, but, the wrong dish. Plus, we ordered two sauces, the Chimichurri and STK. Only one made an appearance. Next, the Hamachi Crudo. The best dish of the night. Very fresh, a nice portion with fresh shaved veggies and herbs. Clean, nice. Me likee. Next (well, you know, all at once, just 'next' because I can't write all at once, like they served it. Mac & Cheese. Like I know Watusi's, I know M&C. This was baked for a nice crunch on top, and it looked good. But somebody left the top off the salt shaker when they spiced this puppy. Ewe. NG. Overpowering salt, not great cheese. And then, the encore of what I proclaimed as The Best F'ing Sliders Ever. The Lil' Big Macs. Ordered...rare. Yes, I'm as tired typing that as you are reading it. Well, they showed up on our table more medium to medium well. Yes, still great Wagyu. Yes, the bun, the truffle the oozy cheese and special sauce. But overdone!!! OK, the Mushrooms. WTF cares! I was so pissed off I almost slugged the coked out dude next to me. OK, to end on a sweet note, we had the Strawberry Cotton Candy. How was it? WTF cares! I'm pissed off again! Plus this idiot Labrador waiter rang us up for a bottle of wine we never ordered! Arrgghh. Bottom line VdV suggestion: Go for the bar, (maybe) order some sliders. Skip dinner. Just enjoy watching the circus!
by Lisabeth Loup on good atmosphere and superb coriander tuna. i had a remarkable pinot noir that would be reason to return. the service was bizarre and not at all what i expected. our waiter may have been high.
by Chrissy A. on Halo is definitely one of the more upscale bars in Atlanta's midtown that make you feel like you are really actually in a city. A favorite among many young professionals of Atlanta, this hip-and-trendy bar delivers serious cocktails in a seriously swanky setting that gives off that oh-so-cool vibe that you see in the movies. Most of the kids who play here think that they are too sexy for their shirt, and that everything is "hot. " Eh, alas, if you come with a group of friends it actually can be a very fun playground. If you can find a place on the couches, you are in luck, because it will totally be your night, but if not, expect to be a bit uncomfortable as their isnt much seating. Solution: Keep on drinking. The more you drink, the more fun you have. It's definitely a huge step up from the college bar scene I was accustomed to a few years back...Serious cocktails, serious atmosphere, and seriously swanky. The crowd is super-posh, and there is a ton of money floating around, so if that is your thing, I say jump on board; you will be comfortable here. I find it a great place to visit from time to time...But I dont go quite as often as I did when I first moved here...Some people call this place a bit pretentious, and I can understand why...But that wouldnt stop me from spending a night out on the town -and slinging back a couple of cocktails here..What can I say...I have the ability to have fun in any and all setting-especially with a cocktail in hand! The decor is artsy, and the actual bar itself is dimly lit and serves to bring people together. There is a great seating area towards the back, and up the stairs. Cocktail tables and a small scale stair case serve as an area for more seating... I dont consider this a dance club, but there is an area where dancing happens...I dont think its actually designated for dancing, but it works! A diverse, ever-changing crowd keeps this club interesting. Nightlife enthusiasts are attracted to Halo's inviting, upscale feel...especially popular midweek. It's a nice setting for sipping cocktails and listening to music; there's even free wi-fi! Weekends, however, attract a coiffed and accessorized clientele on parade. All in All: Seriously Swanky, Stylish, & Sultry Spin On Atlanta Nightlife
