    Pleasantly surprised - we were facing super long lines & no reservations in downtown Atlanta - decided to try 9Mile from the open table reviews - grabbed an uber & secured a reservation for 7:30 - such a nice restaurant - pleased that even though it’s on the roof there is inside & outside seating - being from Arizona we chose inside bc it was cold for us. Food was excellent, service was fabulous - everyone was very friendly! Highly recommend!

    This is the restaurant I've been dying to find since moving to Atlanta 3 years ago. This is officially the best brunch PERIODT. The vibe is so cool, so O4W. The hostess has the mostest and our server was so sweet and fun. Our new years day brunch was the total package. We're already planning our second meal later this week. I will be a regular.
