All of the tapas we ordered was excellent!!! The chef’s charcuterie board- phenomenal. We had both cold octopus salad & grilled octopus over corn puree!!!! Both were outstanding! The steak with mushroom foam!!! I will dream about this dish. Tuna tartare & squash soup are so so yummy! Our server, Christina, so sweet & fantastic! Drinks were great. I gave a lower score on ambience due to the fact their HVAC as malfunctioning & it was cold in the restaurant. Definitely returning for more!!!

Stayed at the Epicurean Atlanta for our anniversary. Ate at Reverence for both breakfast and dinner. The staff were amazing. Their service was exceptional and attendance without being hovering. The Sommelier made a wonderful recommendation on a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape that was perfect with our dinner. The charcuterie was an excellent starter with a nice balance of classic and more adventurous (esp. cheese) selections. The small plates (peri peri chicken skewers, pulpo asado & lamb meatballs) were all perfectly prepared and delivered at the right temperature for the dish. Overall the restaurant and hotel staff made this a perfect staycation right before Christmas. We look forward to many future visits.
