    Pleasantly surprised - we were facing super long lines & no reservations in downtown Atlanta - decided to try 9Mile from the open table reviews - grabbed an uber & secured a reservation for 7:30 - such a nice restaurant - pleased that even though it’s on the roof there is inside & outside seating - being from Arizona we chose inside bc it was cold for us. Food was excellent, service was fabulous - everyone was very friendly! Highly recommend!
