High above the downtown skyline on the 30th floor of Hilton Atlanta is the famed Nikolai’s Roof. The award-winning and iconic restaurant is undergoing a modernization, investing close to $1 million to refresh and update the over 7,500-square-foot restaurant and bar space to a more contemporary design that will accentuate the cuisine and elevated view.
Nikolai’s Roof will reopen with a brand new look in January 2014.
Chef Stephanie Alderete is renovating the menu as well, showcasing fresh, vibrant ingredients in her modern American fare. Russian influences will remain in signature dishes such as piroshkies and borscht, while Alderete looks forward to introducing guests to creative, seasonal favorites.
Since opening in 1976, the landmarkrestaurant has served cuisine with Russian influences seen throughout both the décor and the menu. Nikolai’s Roof was the first restaurant in the Southeast to receive the coveted Four Star Award from Mobil and consecutively hold that honor for 24 years through 2013. Additional awards include Wine Spectator’s 2012 Best of Award Excellence; DiRoNA – 2012 Distinguished Restaurants of North America and Open Table’s 2012 Most Romantic and Best View.
