At first, we asked to be relocated to a different table, which usually can be an issue with reservations on a busy evening. They were more than happy to accommodate! From here on the evening got even more pleasant.
The menu was a fixed 4-course meal for the occasion, with every meal paired nicely with a beautiful selection of wines. The food selection was great, starting out with the nicely arranged palette cleanser oyster with sprinkles of tobiko gremolata and a shot of beet bubble mary, paired with a sparkling rose. Next, my wife ordered the caviar, served with warm blinds and creme fraiche, while I had the crfranchises, accompanoed by chicories and herb citronete, both of which we ended up sharing, paired with a fantastic white wine. We Followed this with a main course of scallops for her and braided beef cheek for me. Dessert was just the icing on the cake – no pun.
I feel the braised beef cheeks were slightly overcooked, given they were done in thin medallions.
Throughout this experience, which lasted almost 3 hours, we were gracefully served by Robert Mack, who went the extra mile for us and made sure we were absolutely taken care of. We integrated him into our entire dinner experience which made time go by without even noticing how long we were there. Robert is the most charismatic, down to earth person you will want taking care of you. We never felt rushed – clearly. Between conversations and laughter we had the most wonderful evening, which trumped any issues with the food.
This team has worked diligently to cultivate a sexy, relaxing ambiance that feels approachable and elevated. They have also orchestrated a menu that covers all the bases that one could desire in terms of fine-dining—from meat and seafood, vegetables to cheeses and artisanal bread. The pasta is handmade, from scratch. The wine menu is spectacular. The team embodies hospitality from the moment you walk in & sends you home with a fond farewell.
The Agnolotti was exceptional, the Warm Olives were bursting with flavor, and the Verdiccho to pair with our meal was spot-on. Rayvenne took the time to guide us through her favorites in a way that was informative & held our full attention. She embodied hospitality and encouraged us to try something new while honoring the classic pasta dishes that make St Cecilia so famous.
Fine-dining is a dime a dozen, friends. But the trifecta is when a space gets ambiance, service, and quality of ingredients right. St Ceciliar deliveries all of the above with kindness and finesse.
Here’s what I had:
Orchard Road: This is what I wish almost all negronis tasted like. Slightly bitter with a fruity back beat and not cough medicine sweet. This is fun and easy to drink. Definitely try this one if you stop by. It has apple brandy, hibiscus vermouth, amaro, and pear.
Mambo No. 5: This is an awesome summer to fall transitioning drink. Tequila, lime and mandarin bring the summer vibe. Pisco, falernum and the reposado element give these fall warming notes at the end of the drink.
Good Times Roll: This twist on the French 75 is cherry forward bubbly and bright. This is an easy way to get a party going.
Running with The Devil: Cardamom mezcal, Tequila, Creme de Cassis, lime and ginger all mix together to make a drink with good direction but lacking in execution. If the ratio of lime to simple syrup was adjusted a bit more this would be a hands down favorite.
Lemoncello: Settle your stomach and help your food digest with a little after dinner homemade digestif.
The house focaccia is really light and airy, not what I expected, but a delicious way to start the meal with that tasty butter. We tried the Tomato Nduja Passata and Marinated White Anchovies with it as well. Both were great but those salty anchovies were wonderful.
Next was the Arancini which was some of the best I’ve had. Just enough truffle and had a great consistency. The Shrimp with the Chile Butter was fantastic as well. Had some heat but not too much for my wife who’s not the biggest spice lover.
For entrees we had the Agnolotti, the Crispy Pork ‘Milanese’ and a side of the Broccolini. The Agnolotti was as good as advertised. The Crispy Pork might have been my favorite though with that lemony clam sauce and the perfectly breaded and fried pork.
Finished with some type of cheese cake I can’t remember but it was absolutely incredible, especially paired with a glass of Madeira wine.
What a memorable anniversary it was. Can’t wait to come back.
We ordered the cauliflower appetizer, the lobster risotto, and the seashell dish. All were just okay — nothing memorable or worth coming back for. Our waiter was polite enough to take orders, but there was no warmth or friendliness at all.
We skipped dessert since nothing looked appealing, and even though it was my birthday, they didn’t bother with a small gesture like a scoop of ice cream or a candle.
This was actually our second visit — the first was about five years ago, and we didn’t enjoy the food then either. We decided to give it another try, hoping things had improved. Sadly, nothing changed.
The ambience is beautiful, I’ll give them that. But the valet service? A complete joke. He just stood by the driver’s door waiting for a guaranteed tip — no door opening, no courtesy, no effort.
There won’t be a third visit from us.
All the above while sitting at the swank lounge area sofa, which is open bar seating with full service from the bar and kitchen. Met some other folks there and chatted. This place has great ambience.
Equally important was how spectacular the service was. The bartender was spot on with his recommendations. In fact, I enjoyed dessert there so much that I went the next night for another dessert. The honey olive oil gelato was delectable. Although the tiramisu was not. The tiramisu needed more liqueur and more time to set. Mine was a bit dry. Still very impressed!
I will eat dinner here next time I’m in Atlanta. Every customer I spoke with gave rave feedback about the main menu – especially the beef cheek. Top of my list!
We were celebrating our anniversary.
From the moment we sat down, she made us feel completely taken care of. Her wine knowledge was exceptional — she not only recommended the perfect pairing for our meal but explained the flavor notes in a way that felt both approachable and expert.
She also knew the menu inside and out, offering thoughtful suggestions that made it clear she really understands the chef’s vision. Every recommendation she made was spot-on, and her timing and attention to detail were flawless.
Management was also exceptional, Ryan, who made our reservation for us – acknowledged our anniversary with such special touches. From greeting us at the door, special anniversary menus to dessert – we felt so welcome.
I definitely recommend St Cecilia!! We will be back.
We booked our rehearsal dinner at St. Cecilia in September. Prior to the event, we ate at the restaurant twice. Both times the food was not only incredible, but the service was the best we have experienced in Atlanta – maybe anywhere. They accommodated my vegan diet by asking me what kind of flavors and dishes I prefer to make a custom entree. They also went over each item on the menu and how it is either vegan or can be customized to a vegan entree. Even the bread service was reworked to be vegan and it was extremely inclusive. All non-vegan food was also outstanding including arancini, pasta dishes, and ricotta cheese with bread service. Cocktails were also a can’t miss. It is an incredible spot for any nice dinner and that is mostly because of the kindness and attention of the staff.
Our event was another level. Every time we went to the space prior, they offered to give us a tour of the space, take notes on how we wanted it set up, go over elevator/disability plan, and work with us to perfectly customize the menu. We felt special and noticed on every meeting leading up to and on the day. The food was served in both a passing app and buffet style and the space was re-arranged to fit our needs. Very little had to be brought in to have a well run event. The quality of the food was outstanding – both in terms of entree and app options and brands of spirits at the bar. The staff at St. Cecilia also helped us plan for how much of each item we needed and worked with us to maximize our budget. 10/10 would recommend for any private event.
