We are a Murphys regular and have never had a bad experience. We visited for dinner this time, our server was kind and attentive (but not too attentive to be annoying), our appetizer came out quickly and was delicious. We each got the roasted chicken as entrees - loving the fall complements that have been added to the dish.

We had a spectacular meal at the sundial. Mike our server and staff were AMAZING! Certainly made the evening special for our anniversary. The food was divine: charred octopus app, lamb chops and infamous filet mignon. Side of brussel sprouts. The brought out a cheesecake dessert with a candle for our celebration! Of course the views are magnificent. Sundial is definitely the spot in the ATL!

Fantastic ambiance and spaced out tables. The service was incredible to accommodate our party during the switch over from breakfast to lunch. Terrific place to meet before any business in nearby downtown Atlanta.

We came for my husband's birthday. Upon arrival, they handed him a birthday card signed by all of the staff! What a nice touch! Multiple people stopped by the table to wish him happy birthday as well. The cocktails were DELICIOUS, the apps came out quickly, and the entrees were to die for. We ordered the Japanese maple and espresso martini, the skewers, queso and wonton chips, the chicken tacos, and the thai noodles salad (which was massive and even tastier for lunch the next day). We will be back for sure.

The service here was wonderful! Our Server was quick to take our order, get our drinks, and even get our food. The aesthetic was charming and noise was low providing a very intimate environment. Our drinks were amazing and our food was very tasty.

    All the cocktails were great and they were serving bites from their restaurant that were phenomenal. The ambience is definitely there, and it has a great view of the city.
