Fork & Juniper

I used to wear out the Farm Table, but they have simply priced out beyond reasonable for self-​service that expects a tip on top. Order a soda and it’s over $ 20 for lunch at a salad bar. Nope.

This is a hotel restaurant. The menu was a bit sparse but had a number of selections that looked good. I ended up ordering a chicken Caesar salad. No complaints about the food but the service was a bit slow. I would skip this place unless you’re staying at the hotel.

We ordered room service from here because we were feeling lazy. Serves us right because it was the worst meal I’ve had in Atlanta so far. Aside from the undercooked burger, the soggy fries and the disgusting salad dressing, the biggest atrocity was the chicken wings. They were undercooked (bloody) and the «glaze» was still gelatinous telling me that it had be reheated from cold. We ate a couple but left the rest. Hopefully we won’t be getting food poisoning.
If you’re staying at the Hyatt just order take out or go out.

I must honestly say that I chose Fork and Juniper only because I was staying in the hotel where this restaurant is the Room Service. It was a disappointment that the «less than 30 minutes» I was quoted for delivery was actually slightly more than an hour. When I called to check on the order I was told there was only one cook, the hotel was at 99% occupancy, etc. Those things just annoyed me to hear because those factors should have played a part in scheduling for good restaurant staff. If I had just received an honest apology for the delay I would have been more understanding. I chose the Caesar Salad ($ 10) and the Pressed Chicken Sandwich. I received way more food than I expected and twice what I could eat, even considering I was really, really hungry from my extensive wait. I’ve never had a Caesar salad with fried artichokes before, and I still can’t decide if they were yummy or just unusual with their catfish-​type cornmeal batter. The dressing was delicious and I appreciated the roasted red peppers, and again, the portion was large enough to be completely sufficient for a dinner for one or a side portion for two people. The Pressed Chicken Sandwich ($ 10) was quite delicious even though there were a couple of spots where the chicken had been cut/​pounded too thin and got a bit tough on the grill. I truly enjoyed the buffalo mozzarella and roasted tomatoes and the buttered toasted bread on this sandwich they listed in the «comfort» section of my menu. I didn’t realize the sandwich came with steak fries and had only a couple of them… they were fairly adequate… but they’re just steak fries. Would have given 5 stars for portion to cost ratio; 1 star for the length of time my meal delivery took, 2 — 3 stars for the salad and 4 stars for the sandwich. Three stars to 3.5 stars final count.

«Farm table» has gotten worse on every visit for the past 6 months. Very little selection, including no lettuce (there’s arugula and spinach, but no lettuce). Hot entrees are bland and uninspiring. Was much better a year ago. Also increased cost, for $ 14 go somewhere else, anywhere else.

Worst service ever! The bartender, Tanisha, was so rude it was shocking. She was so rude it was unimaginable. Her attitude was AMAZING! She wouldn’t even ask us what our order was, we had to suggest she ask us! I usually leave great tips but I was forced to leave a bad tip. She asked my party to not sit in a vacant area that other people had left. The other party told us to sit there. The other patrons were getting upset at this bartender as well.

This place is actually utterly terrible… Like really terrible.
Bartenders are amateurs, at best really. Horrible drinks made for myself and a couple colleagues — — and aggressively served to us with no smile/​persona.
Met two nice women at the bar, who had ordered take-​out, who had asked 4 times when it was going to be ready — — once it had been 30 minutes wait-​time.
Did I mention this place is horrible? Too bad, I live walking distance away.

Best brunch in midtown! This is our third time here, and we always leave happy. We have always been seated immediately, and service is fast. Try the pecan-​crusted sweet potato waffles, they’re wonderful!

WHAT? YOU HAD A BURGER? OH THAT“S NICE? WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU?
I came here for their #burgerfriesdrink even last night and my ears are still ringing, and not in a good way. The concept for Tuesdays is great, you get someone to «host» dinner that night and they invite their friends to experience a new restaurant with a cool atmosphere, a DJ, and $ 13 for a burger, fries, and a drink (alcoholic or non). The burgers come plain wither with blue cheese or american, and there’s a toppings bar where you can «shop for your burger». A pretty neat concept.
The servers were by far super sweet and really nice. I give them 4-​stars.
I made my burger with american cheese, avocado, «special sauce», onions, mushrooms, pickles and a few other things, and got the jalepeno cheese french fries. The fries were meh, looked amazing but if you didn’t eat them right away they just were thick soggy potatoes. My burger was pretty good, my sister said hers was dry, I guess I couldn’t tell because I had so much sauce on it and all my senses were concentrating on listening to the person next to me because OH MY GOODNESS THE MUSIC WAS SO LOUD.
Seriously. NOT exaggerating the girl was sitting right next to me and I had to shout at the top of my lungs for her to hear me. I didn’t know I was stepping into CLUB BURGER at 6pm on a Tuesday. LITERALLY I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERA ON A SATURDAY NIGHT EATING A BURGER! I DIDN’T KNOW IF I SHOULD HAVE TWERKED OR IF I SHOULD HAVE PLUGGED MY EARS WITH SOME PICKLES. (And I know as you read that in all caps you are shouting in your head, which is exactly what I did last night except in real life).
I was waiting outside for my valet and a handful of people came in and left because it was way too loud. I get that they’re trying to be edgy and draw in a younger crowd, but there are only so many deaf hipsters in the ATL area you can attract.
My throat hurt from shouting, my head hurt from the insanely loud music. My tummy was full for only $ 13 which I guess isn’t bad. But if they seriously don’t tone it down I won’t be back.

If it’s one thing I hate it’s when a restaurant’s website says one thing and when you get to the restaurant they say another thing. We came in during happy hour expecting some happy hour deals as their website says, but sadly they didn’t offer anything.
That didn’t make me too upset, but the low quality of their food is the reason I’m giving them two stars. The deviled eggs just tasted off. Too sour and wet for my, or my friend’s liking.
Next we had the margherita flatbread and it was a sad excuse for a «flatbread». They took some dough you get in the refrigerated case at Kroger, put some ground up beafsteak tomatoes on top and put a few blobs of tasteless cheese on top.
I’m not sure why I expected more from a hotel bar/​restaurant, but I won’t be back to Fork & Juniper. Just go to Empire State South next door, you’ll thank me.

This is the restaurant that made the room service food for the Hyatt Midtown.
Pros:
Convenient
Good selection/​assortment of food
The black eye pea hummus was delicious
Con’s:
Extremely overpriced ($ 3.50 «delivery» fee and 22% gratuity added with servers/​hotel staff clearly expecting an additional tip is high; actual menu prices aren’t awful)
Food quality doesn’t match the price (chicken and waffles were so-​so, shrimp omelette tasted microwaved, black and bleu steak flatbread was gross)
The room service option is convenient, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby that deliver and have better food. If you must order room service or eat here, do not order the black and bleu steak flatbread. Order the hummus and hope the bread isn’t burnt.
Also, the food is brought in on a massive tray. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for the hotel staff to carry the comically oversized trays, and then they’re never retrieved once they’re left with the food.

Was here for a private event and loved the space. They’ve done a great job with renovations, I remember from what it was before and this is a huge improvement. Did not try the drinks but food was good and the live band was fun. The area is loungey so I would say good for groups and hanging out some. They do have a garage attached so parking is easy although paid. Their sliders were good as was the mushroom cheese pizza. They had jelly port dessert in little jars that were fantastic. Would love to go back with friends and check it out in my own time.

This restaurant was connected to my hotel so I gave it a go. They have a happy that offers $ 3 apps and $ 5 cocktails. The deviled eggs & wings were fine. The black eyed pea hummus was odd. Service was fine. The place is sleek.

I visited a couple of days ago with 7 of my friends for ladies night & had a GREAT experience! I called to make reservations for 10 the day before and then called only an hour before to change the time & the staff was very accommodating!
The restaurant menu was a bit unclear but the server, Krystal quickly explained the details and we were back on track. I ordered the chicken & waffles as my 1^st course and the gulf snapper as my 2^nd course. Both were amazing!
The manager, Ari treated us all to a scoop of High Roads ice cream to round out the meal :)

I was very disappointed with my experience here last night. Although my waitress/​hostess was very gracious, her hospitality did not mask the overarching problems.
1) First and foremost, it took over 2 hours for us to get our food.
2) I ordered all three courses for Restaurant week, but only received 2 of them
3) Even with a full house, there appeared to only be 2 servers…
4) The portions are EXTREMELY small, the entrée could pass for a tapa
The whole point of restaurant week is for patrons to try new places, and for new restaurants to gain more business, so my advice is that they should not skimp on their selections, portions, wine pours, etc., especially when you don’t have the best food in town.
