TWO urban licks - American restaurant in Atlanta - 820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, USA

The atmosphere is very laid back from the moment you walk into the cathedral high doors to the bar being centrally located in the restaurant. You may enjoy the open environment, but it may not be the best situation for a conversation, especially if you are on a date. I heard the entire conversation that the couple next to us was having, which was comical at times as I am not sure I would go that route if I wanted to impress my female companion. Okie dokie...enough of the atmosphere and let's get down to the food. The food was fresh, innovative, and brought out relatively quickly. Our waitress was exceptional as she answered every question we had and gave us reasonable recommendations as this was our first time here. We tried a great representation of their current menu, and the taste, seasoning, and presentation were outstanding. The time flew as we enjoyed the food and our own conversation as the night went on and the ambient noise came down a bit as we were not as close to the bar where a lot of the conversations were coming from. At the end, they even brought out a birthday dessert, which was also very tasty. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for great food and an excellent downtown environment with high end expectations.

Great atmosphere inside - interior design on point. However from outside - especially where valet is, the entrance looks like an abandoned warehouse… Food was good. But definitely not the best shrimp and grits flavor. Salmon chips were really good though. I like that you can pay through QR code of the table - but why can’t I order the same way?

Nice restaurant in the old forth ward! The sides were excellent with some of the meals having a wonderful Lebanese influence! The Salmon was great and brisket was one of the largest ones I have seen! They gave some festive drinks you can get at bar waiting to be served in glowing cubes hanging from ceiling. I was also impress with their wood fire rotisserie setup! So many moving gears! Parking is a bit tricky and it might be difficult to notice the front door from the parking lot.

I finally got a chance to check it out for a late birthday dinner. There were so many good appetizers on the menu to choose from. Most people raved about the salmon chips, but we thought they were just ok. We didn't expect the salmon to be chilled. We enjoyed the calamari. It was tossed in a nice sweet and spicy sauce. The cauliflower was flavorful. I wish it had more crunch. Finally, we got the brisket empanada. It was cut in half and drizzled in an orange sauce, cheese and diced tomatoes. We also ordered the greens and mac n cheese. We spent $89 for the 4 apps and 2 sides. The service was great. They brought out a small, chocolate birthday cake after our meal. I will return and try more goodies on the menu.

Everything was delicious! We had a large party, our service was excellent. We had two with special dietary needs that were easily met with a smile. Salmon chips, fried cauliflower, calamari, sea bass, beef ribs, scallops, crab cakes, crispy duck all were amazing!

The atmosphere and service were great! You have to valet there is parking but you’d most likely get booted. All of the employees were warm gracious and welcoming. The atmosphere is beautiful great for taking pictures but it’s definitely dark in there at night they have mood lighting so it’s very dim everywhere in the restaurant except near the plant wall which is well lit. The food was good we had a lot of different items. The mac and cheese was the best side it had an alfredo sauce flavor and consistency. We got the fingerling potatoes as well they were ok they could’ve use some seasoning of some sort they literally just tasted like cooked potatoes. The roasted chicken had a great flavor the breast was a little dry but I still really enjoyed it. The shrimp was delicious and juicy the sauce that comes on the shrimp was perfect for it. I also got a caesar salad with salmon added it was good as well the ceasar is slightly spicy not too much spice. The prices were a bit high they add a service charge onto the meal. There weren’t very many vegan or vegetarian options but you can make it work if you’re in a pinch. They do not split the check for you but they do have a QR code you can scan for the menu and to pay for your meal separately if needed. Overall we really enjoyed the experience and would go back for sure.

This experience was phenomenal. Started with the salt and pepper Calamari. Omg the calamari was savory. The hint of cilantro and peppers. Ended the meal with the fried chicken biscuit and my partner had the steak and eggs. The fried chicken biscuit came with a sausage gravy. That dang biscuit melted in my mouth. Great combination. The ambiance is beautiful. We chose the valet parking which is $3. There is a sign for self parking. Johnathan was friendly and very helpful.

The atmosphere is so beautiful and unique. We really enjoyed our time at this place. We arrived an hour early for our reservation, so we had drinks and an appetizer at the bar while we waited for our reservation. Madison was our waitress and she also happened to be the bartender. The live music here is pure soul. I sang along to all of the soulful hits, The Isleys, Bill Withers, Bobby Caldwell, Sam Cooke… it was amazing! We recommend the salmon chips, and crab cake. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. The brisket is so flavorful and tender. I ordered the scallops and I was so full. All of our dining experience was great! Madison provided us with great service. Again, the atmosphere is awesome. We are from the NYC area and the vibe at Two Urban Licks and it reminded us of our dining experiences in NYC.
