Lomi Restaurant And Bar

Food , ribs and tacos were great. We were from out of town looking for not a chain to eat dinner at. LOMI welcomed us into a unique experience. Amber, our beautiful server helps us with the menu & drinks. Everything was delicious and elegant. Highly recommend "LOMI" for a great dining and cultural evening. Thank you! 4.5 stars

First off, I am a firm believer in magic.Not like magicians (I'm an illusionist, Michael) but more like the Universe sometimes hands a person a lifeline when they are struggling. And it's important to recognize those moments, no matter how dark the rest of the world seems at the time. I've been super lucky that, even in the bleakest moments there has been at least one bright, glimmering spark. That spark can ignite embers of hope when the world seems dark and damp. We found that spark tonight in a place called Lomi, and a server named Kya. First off, the place is really beautiful. It's clean without being esoteric and bright without being overwhelming. The music was loud, but the music was good. They have comfy sofas (that don't swallow you up like Pinocchio versus the whale) and ample tables. This comes in handy for the hookahs, which they offer in a multitude of flavors. Full disclosure, we did not try these, but it's always awesome to watch other people. What we did try was the food and the cocktails, and they were both better than they had any right to be. We were told that the chef's name was Omar, and I hope that he reads this. We ordered a burger and an order of fish and chips, both of which came with crinkle cut fries. I don't usually go through all of my fries when I get an entree, but these were really perfect. I know I'm wiping back to front with this review, but it's always the little things that make the difference. The burger was solid. It had an unmistakable flame-kissed taste, and was a hearty portion without being too much of a good thing. It was REALLY good bar food, and our server gave us all the condiments on the side, which was awesome. The fish and chips were probably some of the best I have ever tasted. Better than they had a right to be. I was amazed to go back over the menu and find out that it was tilapia and not cod. Chef Omar changed my mind about tilapia tonight. The fish was firm and flaky, and not at all fishy. My husband (who dislikes cooked fish generally) said that he would be happy to try it again. I only gave him a small bite though, because it was really good and he already had a burger and maybe I'm a little selfish. The fish was served with cocktail sauce, hot sauce (yes!) and tartar sauce on the side, along with ketchup for the fries. Having that buffet of dip is absolutely my jam. Hot sauce plus tartar sauce might be my new mayo. Our drinks were priced upscale, but were also really well crafted. We ordered the Bob Marley, which is a layered rum drink that looks like a Jamaican flag. The presentation was really impressive, and it was almost a shame to mix it all up. We also ordered a Sex on the beach, which was made better than any of the TGIAppleRubyTuesdayChilis out there. The ambience was, as I mentioned earlier, colorful yet mellow. It had a chill vibe to it, and the music was curated by a DJ (not sure if live or not) with an emphasis on R&B. We both had our phones out to find that music so we could listen to it again. One of the things our server Kya mentioned was the table in the back sporting some fun board games which were free to play. Uno, Connect Four, and even Monopoly. I imagine that would be a really fun thing to do while smoking your hookah! Maybe not Monopoly. That game always seems a little mean. They have specials on Sundays and Thursdays before nine, with 4 dollar tacos (steak, chicken, or the aforementioned awesome fried fish) and are also open late. I imagine the place gets a different vibe earlier on AND later on, but we really liked the spot we found ourselves in. And we will definitely be back. My husband will be ordering fish tacos for the first time if we do. I need to give a shout out to Kya, our server. She met us at the door and it was like she expected us. We were two middle aged white guys in an R&B hookah club and we felt welcomed with open arms. It had been a bad week and we were staying at a hotel, displaced from our apartment due to a disaster. It was super stressful and we were honestly looking for a place that served dinner past 9 PM on a Sunday. Deciding on a whim to try this place was the best decision (aside from having renters insurance) that we had made recently. Kya was super knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions. She was friendly and kind and funny. She also gave us great pointers for making the most out of a hotel fridge for cocktails. I'm drinking one of her bourbon/orange juice/ginger ale "old fashions" as I type. She couldn't know this, but I really needed some kindness, some friendly chat, someone who wasn't in a hurry to get me out of their hair. She treated us like friends, and we felt like friends. That's the magic I was talking about. I really hope this place is here for a long time. Omar and Kya are special, and this was a special place on a dark night. I am so happy we found it, and I hope other people recognize this place for the oasis that it is.

I love this place. It's a perfect date night spot or a chill place for girls night. The servers are all nice and the drinks are great!! DJ and hookah is good as well, just wished they stayed open later on Sundays!

I meant to write this review a while ago! This place is absolutely amazing. I had a birthday get together here with about 30 other people. The staff was AMAZING! They were very nice, extremely attentive, and took care of all of us. The food was good! Hot, fresh, and tasted AMAZING. Everyone had something different and no one had a complaint about their meal. I had the mild wings with lemon pepper seasoning!! Drinks were on point! And the hookah was good too! I met the owner and let him know how amazing the staff and venue were. The music was on point. I'm not sure what time but at some point a DJ came in and his was jamming as well. Plenty of space. It was nice and clean. Oh yeah, and TVs every where, which was important because I love my football. I have been telling everyone about this place! I will be back!!

The atmosphere was amazing. Very nice and clean. Comfortable seating and decor was clearly well thought out. I had the shrimp tacos and spinach dip. Shrimp tacos were pretty good, they were fresh and hot but could use a little more sauce or maybe a salsa because they were a little dry. The spinach dip was great. Served hot and fresh and the chips were crispy and freshly made! Overall, great place to hang out. A gem in Marietta where the options seem limited for nightlife.
