Nàdair

Experienced the 6 course menu as of 6/29/24.

This is about one of 5-6 places in Atlanta with a unique and creative tasting menu that is worth a visit.

Kevin Gillespie is striking out his own fine dining experience, and this place delivers. From the atmosphere, service, and, of course, the food. Everything about Nadair exemplifies fine dining as well as striving for that michelin green star status. You will have a taste of Scottish inspired cuisine right here in Atlanta, a one of a kind experience.

I had the 6 course tasting menu, and it was fantastic. Some courses were more of a hit than others, but ultimately that is to be expected, and comes down to personal taste preference.

The cheese and onion pie is a great savory starter. You get the thick rich pie crust along with a tart and savory cheese and creme fraiche. 8/10

Next comes the shellfish dish, featuring mussels topped with cultured butter and some various green onion and beet. I wasn't too keen on this one as the mussels had a bit of chew to them.. otherwise, it was solid flavor wise. 6/10.

Course 2 features cheese dumplings. The cheese was very fresh and herbal, with a greenish color. Definitely akin to Scottish comfort food. 8/10.

Course 3 was the scallop with 'Scottish pudding', crushed peas, and bacon scallop sauce. The scallop was perfectly seared, fresh, and flavorful. Combined with the rest of the dish, this went above and beyond the standard scallop in a creme sauce. 9/10.

Course 4 was the pork shoulder. Again, you want to combine all components of the dish into each bite for a rich, savory, and satiating meal. Definitely a highlight of the experience. 9/10.

The final main was the wagyu spinalis. This is the ribeye cap of the wagyu, but the preparation was just not great for me. The meat was lukewarm, very rare, and somewhat chewy. The rest of the dish was fantastic, with the horseradish, potato, foie sauce, and mushroom. Again, everything paired wonderfully for a rich and savory experience. 7/10.

The two desserts were fantastic. A deconstructed peach cobbler and various post-meal goodies. 8/10.

The space is unique, quiet, and cozy, with heavy Scottish influence. Half of the staff are wearing kilts, and the servers/ bartenders are fantastic. Shoutout to Angela and Terell for the memorable night.

Again, this is one of the few spots in Atlanta with a tasting menu and even more affordable 3 course menu of high caliber and unique/creative experience. Focusing on high-quality food sources, Gillespie truly delivers on his version of Scottish fine dining cuisine.

Definitely add this one to your list to experience, you won't be disappointed.

Had a WONDERFUL birthday dinner at Nadair, Kevin Gillespie's new restaurant. It is a must visit, but you have to pre-plan your reservation only seating. The attention to detail was over the top. The service was excellent, the decor is beautiful, silver table service, and the food was absolutely fabulous. He clearly has spent many hours working on his menu. We chose the 3 course menu. Even got a quick peek into his fabulous kitchen with Chef Gillespie on the line! Omg! I even got a signed Happy Birthday menu from Chef Gillespie.

So we turned down free last minute tickets to Rolling Stones in favor of keeping our existing reservations here, and don’t regret that decision at all! Everything was perfection from drinks to dessert. The rainbow trout was amazing. The atmosphere is perfect, and the location was an oasis of greenery, quiet and peace. Service was wonderful; the entire team was kind, knowledgable and professional. We will most definitely be back, truly a top notch experience!

Spent an absolutely wonderful evening having dinner at this fabulous new restaurant. We have experienced Chef Kevin Gillespie's art at his other restaurants, so we were excited to try this newest one. Everything is on point - obviously the food was perfect but also the staff made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in the door and if they were having some of the expected new restaurant hiccups, it was not noticeable to my wife and me.

After enjoying a fabulous cocktail while our table was being prepared we then proceeded to the 7-course tasting and were floored by the use of reasonably simple and local ingredients. We opted to have the wine pairings with each course and they could not have complimented the dishes more perfectly.

All in all we were very impressed and are already planning our next visit!

A cozy dining experience with excellent food, drinks, and staff - everything we love about Gillespie’s restaurants. Having eaten at all of his other concepts, we were not disappointed with Nàdair.

My partner and I ate here during their opening week and were impressed by the flavors and presentation. The best I can describe the food is that it’s a homage to traditional Scottish cuisine with a southern flair - a touch of Kevin you’ll recognize if you’ve been to his other concepts.

Menu changes often based on local and seasonal availability. Committed to sustainability and use of renewable resources.

We did the 6 course tasting menu, which was all paced well and laid out with no choices or optional courses. They have a 3 course menu available as well. Allergies can be accommodated - but call ahead to be sure.

Wine pairing ran $100+ per person for the 6 course, so we opted for cocktails. The sommelier was more than happy to help us when we had questions regarding wine or other pairings throughout our meal.

6 course pairing for two, plus around three drinks each ran about $500 pre-tip. I’d say it’s worth it, but obviously cost and worth is subjective.

We’ll be back and we’re excited to see what differences the menu will hold!
