A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Unforgettable View! My Valentine’s Day at Sun Dial Restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy—perfect for a romantic evening. The food was absolutely exquisite. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was flawless. The wine selection was also top-notch, pairing perfectly with our meal. What truly made the night special was the ambiance—soft lighting, a gentle rotation that gave us different views of the skyline, and impeccable service that made us feel like VIPs. It was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a romantic dining experience, especially for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, Sun Dial is the place to be.

So, I had a unintentional extended delay for a flight, so I spent Valentine’s Day by myself in a hotel, decided to go out for dinner at Thrive, sat at the bar, was greeted by the lovely staff, who actually spoke to you, not treating it like an assembly line. My bartender walked me through the menu, giving personal recommendation's for food and drinks. I had an Amazing 5 Course Pre-Fixed Valentine’s Meal. The General Manager came by, greeted me, and I had an amazing conversation with her, I was not in a good mood, and she completely changed that, actually listening to me, treating me as a person, rather than just a customer, which is what every restaurant should be like. My food was absolutely delicious, loved every bit, and the manager made sure that I was serviced the same as any Valentine’s Couple, I did not feel like a stick out at all. The drinks were amazing as well, the bartender recommended a Vodka and Lychee drink, which was amazing, and the perfect ratio (in my opinion) of alcohol to mix. If I lived in Atlanta, I would be here nightly, they have such a variety in their menu. I can promise them I will definitely be returning, I felt like a friend to everyone inside rather than the guy who was eating by himself on Valentine’s Day. When I was leaving, my bill was $110, I did drink a couple drinks and had a Pre-Fix, so I was completely okay with this and felt it had adequate value. This is a great spot for dinner or just a drink, I absolutely loved it, cannot say it enough! The bartenders and GM wished me well and safe travels the next day as I reach my actual destination! 10000/10 Will be back!

We were at the table for some time before we had to start looking for someone to service our table.

Wonderful experience! The ambiance was very nice and the service was phenomenal. We were there at the end of lunch, but my husband wanted a steak. While we were willing to settle for the lunch menu which did not include steaks, the server was very accommodating and came back to offer my husband the opportunity to get a steak. This made my husband's first experience great! Thank you!

It was our ten year anniversary so after ordering oysters (delicious!) and cocktails, we decided to order broiled lobster, which since they hadn’t updated the menu-they were not serving it. Okay, so we decided to go somewhere else. After explaining this to our amazing Server, O.D. He spoke to the Chef, Eddie. Eddie visited our table, apologized that the lobster was not available to be served the way we like, but he said that he would accommodate us and prepare it especially for us since it was our anniversary. He also served us a few complimentary dishes and a glass of champagne, too! The food was absolutely amazing, and we gave a generous tip to O.D in appreciation for going above and beyond. Chef’s kiss to Eddie and we will be returning.
