Pics look better than how the food actually tastes - Edit
Food tasted very bland and had no flavor. There are much better options in ATL. And don't go to the bathroom you will regret it.

Bester Geheimtipp Atlantas - Edit
OMG…super Essen in einer angenehmen afroamerikanischen Atmosphäre. Die Konjakshrps und die Pastagerichte sind besonders zu empfehlen. Aber auch die Quesadillas sind der Hammer! Bravo!!!

Good food - Edit
I enjoyed my visit. The service was good and the food was too. I'm always skeptical about "vegan" places (you never know) but this place will get future visits from me. The konjac was an excellent substitute for lobster (I loved lobster back in the day)and I appreciated the fresh juice. I'm also glad they have "real" collards. It's worth it. Go!

Great food - Edit
The food was really good. I had the shrimp Alfredo and it was so flavorful and creamy. Good fries and mac and cheese too. We showed up on a Wednesday and they have comedy nights then. So much fun!

I'll pass - Edit
My taste buds may be different from others, but I was not a fan. I'll just leave it at that. Go see for yourself. I ordered 2 entrees (cheese steak philly& rasta pasta) and with each I order Mac and cheese as i side. I should not have done that. I was a fan of the Mac or philly but the pasta was ok. It could have been their homemade cheese. Idk. But again you may like it.

Great choice! - Edit
We came here for Mother’s Day. The customer service is good and the food was good. I am the only plant based person in my house so this was treat since I had options. I am grateful for this place because it was great having options other than salads or sides.

Didn't live up to my expectations! - Edit
Their prices are extremely high, then there's a 20% gratuity charge and our ticket was still incorrect!! For 2 people to dine in, our bill was $100...how sway? The food was just ok and portions were small. The best thing we ate was the lobster fondue dip but they may charge your pita wedges, so be aware ... Mac n cheeze was dry with not much flavor. The oyster mushroom poe boy flavorless. The kale salad was just piled kale with 3 sweet potato chips on top...🤦🏾♀️😡 Will not return!

WOW!! - Edit
If you have been craving a vegan pasta dish like I have for the past month…. Then THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO VISIT LIFE BISTRO! I ordered everything my server recommended: starters: sweet and spicy fried oyster mushrooms and entree: seafood Rasta pasta. I wanted to order a desert but the peach and cherry cobbler wasn’t necessarily speaking to me. If you so happen to come across this review and order that dessert… please update me! Other than that, everything was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!

Yikes - Edit
Idk where to even begin. I was so excited to try this place and it was awful on many levels. The service was horrendous, server was super rude throughout the whole experience. Food was oily and salty. My salad never came out then after legit an hour I received a side kale salad in a to go box. Server rolled her eyes at me and said it had falafel on it. Was overcharged by a lot- multiple bottles of water and charged for a salad I didn’t get. Server said she couldn’t take anything off cause she “already hit pay.” I’m a server and use toast… u can ALWAYS take something off of a bill duh. Overall, so so so bad

Awesome! - Edit
I’m not sure why I’ve waited this long to write this review. I’ve been to Life Bistro on several occasions when I lived up here and also making certain to visit when I’m back in the city. The food at Life Bistro is very underrated, emphasizing on “under”. I highly recommend for ANYONE looking for flavorful food and a vast menu (but not too overwhelming) with great healthy options that you can feel good about eating. It’s a chill spot for a date night, weekend Brunch, or whatever. They are 100% Vegan so their food is for EVERYONE. Some of my faves are the Shrimp & Grits, Rasta Pasta w/Shrimp, Oyster Mushroom, Chick'n N Waffles w/Oyster Mushrooms, Chickpea Scramble, and the Cold Pressed Juices. They also have an Alkaline Only Menu. I eventually want to try everything on the menu. Oh and not only is the food good, but they also have good service! So yes, this 5 stars review is warranted for Life Bistro. I almost took away a star because I don’t like their bathroom. They should really consider doing a remodel on their bathroom. 🤷🏽♀️ Other than that..I have no complaints. Just GO! You won’t be disappointed…and if you are, holla at me. But I doubt that will be the case.

Beware: carefully review your bill before paying. - Edit
Had dinner here recently. I scanned the QR code on the table for their menu with prices clearly listed. The menu also flashes a note saying they automatically add 20% gratuity when dining in and I was ok with that. The food was tasty and the service was good. When I asked for the bill, the waitress just told me the total and asked for my credit card. I wasn’t given an itemized bill until after I paid. Later I found out why: they overcharged every food item we ordered by 40% on top of the 20% gratuity. I only noticed the bill after we left. #Veganuary

Great flavor, unique dishes - Edit
Tons of flavor. I had one of their daily specials, which was a creole “seafood” boil. It had mock shrimp and vegan sausage, but it was the sauce that was really outstanding. It is a little spicy if you are not used to that, but I thought the heat level was just right.
Read moreWe also got a “lobster” fondue that was amazing. The bread itself was worth it - it was somewhat flat like a pita but it had the flavor of an outstanding focaccia. The fondue was bursting with umami flavor. It reminded me of a nutritional yeast based cheese but was 10x better than what I’ve made at home.

Ok food but expensive - Edit
I ordered the Vegan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with a side of green beans. The cashier was really nice, but got my order wrong. Instead, I received the Fettuccine Pesto that came with mushroom steak. She was really nice and gave me a side of shrimp for the inconvenience. The mushrooms and shrimp were seasoned well, but the pasta was a little dry. The green beans were ok, but some were bright green, the others were a greenish-brown color (like they mixed old and new together). Overall, the food was ok, but I wouldn't drive outside my way for it; especially for the price.

Overpriced but good - Edit
Wanted to try a nicer place for valentines, but unsure how they call it Atlanta’s only fine dining vegan restaurant. I liked the food, but it was over $40 for just two meals with no drinks, apps, etc and I just wasn’t wowed.

It was just ok. I had the oyster mushroom sliders. Very pricey for the portion. No seasoning. The wait (even after putting in an online order) was over 20 minutes. Too many options visiting Atlanta to settle.
