Reviews
Dining at Nikolai’s Roof was not just a meal—it was a journey through history, elegance, and extraordinary flavor. From the very first step inside, you feel transported into a royal evening at the palace of Tsar Nicholas II. The ambiance whispers luxury, and the service is nothing short of imperial—gracious, attentive, and deeply refined.
The cuisine is classic French with a subtle, poetic Russian soul. Think buttery sauces paired with Eastern European undertones—delicate, masterfully balanced, and absolutely unforgettable. Every dish is plated like a work of art, and every bite evokes tradition with a modern twist.
And the view… Oh, the view. From the rooftop, the city stretches out like a velvet stage beneath the stars—romantic, quiet, and timeless. It ties the entire experience together like the final chapter of a great Russian novel.
If you want to experience real Russia wrapped in elegance and flavor, Nikolai’s Roof delivers like few others. It’s not just dinner—it’s a luxurious escape into the grandeur of another era.
Highly recommended.
And the rooftop view? Absolutely breathtaking. Dining with that backdrop elevated the entire experience, creating a perfect blend of ambiance, flavor, and luxury. This is the kind of place you’ll remember long after the meal is over, and we can’t wait to return.
A few things brought it down from five stars simply because they were not up to par for the cost. A few of the courses were served room temperature/ cold, the city views and sunset could only be seen from two tables (which we were not seated at), and the long staircase to the bathroom was pretty challenging in heels. This might be just a personal thing but the music volume felt a little low to where raising your voice above a whisper felt like it would ruin the ambiance for others.
The Russian coffee was good but too strong for me but the alcohol they used was elite. Smooth and didn’t have me falling out my seat after the first sip. My husband had a sweet tea and no, refills are NOT free! We were not aware of this but we didn’t sweat it too much.
The crab cake was delish. It was an art piece and the waiter described every food element so well. We enjoyed tasting every flavor in the crab cake in each bite.
I got the duck breast and it was wonderful. Never had duck cooked this way and it was a delight. The sauce paired with the duck made it even better. The lentils I was not big on as I’m not a fan of beans in general. I would have replaced that side if it were possible.
My husband got the tenderloin with foie gras and it was very good!! My husband loved eating the onion and he absolutely hates onion. The green paste we were not sure what it was but it was also delicious.
This fancy grilled cheese was probably one of the best we’ve had at a fine dining experience. The cheese had beef tallow in it and on top was caviar and gold leaf with tomatoes. Talk about fancy!
They did bring out a complimentary dessert for my birthday and it was the perfect sweet touch to end our meal. It was coconut ice cream on a bed of coconut meringue perhaps. My husband said it was edible coconut styrofoam
The price is definitely high but that is to be expected of a fine dining experience. We overheard the table next to us sharing their enjoyment to their waiter so we knew it was worth our time coming here. The portions we thought were good for average people our size. We almost couldn’t finish all of our food! Based off other comments about the parking, they do offer validated parking now so it seems they do take customer feedback into consideration.
Overall we had a wonderful experience and I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Nikolai’s!
Out of four course, 2 was horrible the soup that in the menu was sold as a vegetable soup taste of nothing but Curry and the tartar was so salty that you couldn’t eat, yes tartar have mustard but it should taste of nothing but..
Yes I told the waiter and he couldn’t do anything about.
The only reason I leave 2 stars is the carot cake dessert and the main course.
I don’t mind paying 300$ for a dinner but for that price I expect at great dinner and this wasn’t.
P.S Took a look at the “bad” reviews and the people who wrote them seem to be very uncultured lol
The food was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Quality was top notch. There was attention to detail and no accompanying ingredient overwhelmed the main player on the dish. My strip loin was cooked to medium rare perfection and charred just right for that extra flavour. In fact, my husband’s duck main was declared as “the best medium rare cooked duck I’ve ever had”. Husband later made the same declaration over his souffle . Stephanie Frick certainly made our Atlanta stopover very memorable. Thank you.
