Their brilliant riff on steak tartare replaces raw beef with chunky cured tomato , made possible by molecular gastronomy . A stunning carrot juice orb poses as egg yolk . You'll never miss the beef . Read more

The pan con tomate — crunchy grilled bread with a blood-red swipe of garlicky tomato puree — tastes good, particularly with the proffered cured ham or boquerones (pickled anchovies ) on top. Read more

Have not been in almost 4 years. Glad I decided to revisit. Service is excellent. Lots of great options but the Tostada de Conejo aka roasted rabbit is a must try!

The hulking chuletón (a bone-in rib-eye for two) does the traditional Spanish steak dish proud. Weighing in at 2.2 pounds, it’s slowly cooked on the restaurant’s impressive wood-fire grill. Read more

Must get the veal cheek ! The octopus is also very good. All the dishes were prepared and presented very well , but those two stood out.

Sophia Liu

Had a great time. A variety of tapas , lovely atmosphere. My favorites: the trout and the paella (pictured)!

Melinda Hegyi

We had a very good time! I thought it was awfully loud at first but then I just kept drinking ????????‍♀️overall a lovely experience and will be back!

Daniel Valdes

Grilled swordfish was tender and moist. About the best I’ve had

Chris Hinton

It's usually busy, so get a reservation . There's definitely a Basque influence, but not a huge amount of traditional Basque choice. Still, the food and atmosphere is great.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

The menu consists of smaller, tapas-style dishes and larger racciones, created by Landon Thompson , from the restaurant group's other outpost, the Iberian Pig .

Tasting Table

In the mood for something meaty? Then Cooks & Soldiers has got you covered! Order up one-kilo of bone-in rib eye to share or a plate of pork tenderloins for one. Read more

Get the bikini and their version of pigs in a blanket . You will not regret it. I still dream about it every day!

Alexandre Munhoz

Good cocktails and wine . Small plates are heavy on garlic . Fideua with cardamom ...!?! Wrf

Tapas were okay but not out-of-this-world worth the money. The restaurant has a great vibe and beautiful interior .

Waterless MediPedi Spa

Tasting menu is fantastic!

Alexandre Munhoz

Such a disappointment. 2nd chance I gave to this place and absolutely nothing was good. Moldy jamon , chewy octopus , salty risotto , garlicky tomato paste. A S* show.

June Park

Pork tenderloin is AMAZING

Ray Bryant

Small plates & wine

Jessica E

It's good, but Iberian Pig is better.

The piperade was pretty good, the veal cheek was ok but not great
