Padella Restaurant

The overall experience was unimpressive.
We started our meal with a grilled shrimp bruschetta, that was actually really tasty. But, it took almost 15 minutes to come out.
After we gobbled that down, it took almost another 20 minutes for the rest to come out. A 20 min wait is not ideal, but we were counting on some fresh ass entrees so we waited patiently. I got the chicken parmigiana, my friend got the veal Marsala. My golly. SO. BAD. The chicken was SO burnt and dried up. The veal was dry and salty. Both dishes were lukewarm. I’m not quite sure what they were doing in there for 20 minutes. It seems like it was prepared but it sat on a hot plate for a long time.
Service was below average. I guess if you come here because you’re a guest, then I understand. But I would highly recommend looking for another restaurant to dine at. The prices do not match the quality or the service. Really disappointed.

Padellas is like other hotel chain restaurants. And by that I mean it’s either a hit or miss when it comes to the food. Now this review is solely based on breakfast! I have been at the hotel for a couple days and had the chance of tasting a variety of things off the menu and all I can say is blah. It’s not nothing special by any means it gets the job done as far as fueling your hunger! I would say that the scenery in the background if anything is one of the best parts of dining here. In the mornings there is free coffee and what not but you have the option of either doing the buffet or the normal menu. Best thing I had was the egg Benedict. Pretty much everything else was a bit mediocre.

Didn’t know this place was here! Had a great meal with a beautiful view of the outdoor landscaped waterfalls.
I purchased a
certificate for $ 25 off when you spend $ 50. There are no restrictions on alcohol in that $ 50 total. Our friendly server, Karen, made great recommendations so we tried the Crispy Rice Croquettes appetizer & the Padella Salad. The fresh basil vinaigrette was so delicious. The bread comes with olive oil and very thick/​sweet balsamic vinegar for dipping as well as butter if you like. Our entrees were both chicken pasta dishes and had lots of flavor — not overly salted. We had to bring home half of our meals to enjoy the next night. Wish we could have tried dessert but will do that next time. After dinner, you can go for a stroll through the outdoor pool area and sit by the waterfalls. This would be a good location for a business lunch or dinner as well.

There was nothing bad about anything we ate here, even though we had it via room service. To feed 3 people turned out to be $ 77, but at least it was a great meal!
I had Chicken Marsala, which had noodles that might have needed about 60 more servings of boiling, but the chicken was juuust right. My husband had a burger which he would not share but he ate every bit of, and my son ordered a flatbread which totally wasn’t a flatbread. It was a 6 slice small pizza, and it was delicious.
If we want to spend another $ 77 we’ll go back here, but we probably don’t. Because Pappadeaux’s is too close to spend that kind of dough here two nights in a row.

We got seated quickly and we had a very nice view of their outdoor waterfall. The food is a little on the expensive side, but it taste very good. I ordered the Ribeye with a salad and I got a taste of the Chicken Marsala. Portions were decent. The bread is baked fresh and I really liked the three dips accommodating the bread. The bean dip was my favorite. They also have a balsamic reduction and traditional butter as another dipping option. It took a while for our server to clear the plates from the table, but I can say that when she finally did, we were fully satisfied. The restaurant is pretty easy to get to, as it is located in the Hyatt hotel on Windy Hill. There’s self parking available and it’s pretty close to the entrance of the hotel. Great service. Beautiful ambiance and great tasting food. I can safely recommend this place.

Really sweet people but the food is horrific. Frozen appetizer (ice in the middle) and deli meat inside a pasta dish.
Really terrible.

Wonderful restaurant! The service is amazing and the food is absolutely delicious. Try the croquettes, the Flatbread pizza, and the lava cake… amazing :) Thank you Karen for being such a great server!

With a job offer at Lockheed Martin, we came to Atlanta for a relocation/​research trip and stayed at they Hyatt in Marietta. I really like the rooms and the hotel itself which was newly remodeled. T I was on Unilocal trying to figure out where to go to dinner and the reviews were so good for Padella we just stayed in one night and ate at the restaurant. The food was fantastic, service was great and ambience and view of the waterfall were nice. This probably wouldn’t be considered a true Italian restaurant. The menu had a few more options than that. If you haven’t been, come check it out.

Great for Breakfast and Late Night
We’ve stayed at the Hyatt several times during visits to Marietta and have dined at Padella several times, generally for breakfast/​brunch. Brunch is generally very good except for the last time when the selection was not that great. This time better but this is review of our excursion into the Lounge for a late night snack. We had had a big Thanksgiving dinner earlier in the day and just wanted to top off before turning in for the night.
My wife ordered a big slice of Amaretto Cheesecake and I went with a Natural Cheeseburger made with all natural non-​GMO beef, American Cheese, Onion Compote and Horseradish. The CheeLseburger was good perfectly to a nice medium rare but they were out of the Onion Compote and the Horseradish Sauce could have passed for Rance Dressing. The fries that came with it were perfect. Even without the Onion Compote and the lame Horseradish, the burger was still great.
Our server was excellent and we never lacked for anything. Larry was very knowledgable and provided a lot of insite into local attractlons and points of interest.
Atmosphere is outstanding. One wall is a glass wall extenting from floor to ceiling and looking over a perfectly manicured Japanese Garden. We’ve been here several times and irregardless of the time of year, it’s always beautiful.
Dinner menu looks good but with everything else in the area, probably will never take advantage of it.
The only reason for not rating it with 5 Stars was the fact that the condiments for the burger were either not available or not up to snuff.

too bad the service wasn’t better. i would have given more stars. the food was delish and a lot to pick from. the décor was nice.

First time visiting after the Hyatt did a major renovation. The results are outstanding! Padilla has a wonderful contemporary feel, but with the warmth of the great glass wall overlooking the new landscaping. You can sit indoors with the feeling of being al fresco. The service was perfect from the greeting to the final bill, which was very reasonable. FYI, check out the discounts available through
.
The food was above average and they offer some nice favors. We started with bread served with olive tapenade, then the smoked chicken and apricot bruschetta. For our main courses we had veal and sage ravioli and chicken linguini, which was very reminiscent of carbonara. Both were excellent and more than we could eat.
We will certainly be visiting again soon!

This hotel was really nice but the Padella Restaurant was terrible! We had reservations for Friday night 1÷31÷14. Once arriving at 7:30pm, no one was there. Why reservations I thought? I should have took that as a sign. For an appetizers, we had mushroom soup and the risotto cheese ball. Soup wasn’t too bad. Needed more spice/​flavor though. We had a party of 7 and I had the Chicken Marsala. It was very bland. No flavor at all. This chef was lacking salt and spices in all the dishes. Very disappointed. My son has the Lemon Shrimp Scampi and the noodles didn’t have any butter or lemon flavor only a lemon seed. He (age 11) stated that my shrimp pasta was much better than this. My husband has the steak and he said it was cold but tender. My inlaws had the grouper and it was soo overlooked it was crunchy. My daughter had the kids turkey meatballs and spaghetti. Her meatballs were pre made and very hard. It tasted like it came from a cheap frozen bag in the grocery store. It was nasty. For a $ 200 bill (no alcohol either) and gratuity of $ 25 was already added in (expected), I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. I would take the time to go across the street to Pappadeaux or Pappasitto’s Cantina. Too expensive for bland food!

My boyfriend and I have eaten here several times. The food is always fresh and delicious. Our favorites are the build-​your-​own pasta and salad menus. The house chardonnay is also very good. Service is ALWAYS with a smile! If Sylvan is working the bar, you can COUNT on a jovial time. Karen, one of the servers, goes above and beyond to meet your needs/​requests, and if Tofika is pinch-​hitting as manager, she will get the job done if it can be done.

Nice looking area and the outside waterfall was a pleasant sight. Very friendly staff, but it was a little loud inside for it to be a romantic evening. My pasta had a small pool of oil at the bottom, but overall the food was very good. Made use of a
coupon so the price was quite easy on the wallet. Would return if I’m back in the area.

Very pleasant setting inside the Hyatt, with a huge glass wall looking into a beautiful vegetation rock garden with waterfall. Our server Larry was excellent, very attentive and reserved. Warm bread, cold beer and excellent shrimp linguine. My date ordered one of the few fish entries, but sent it back for smelling fishy. It was heavily salted and peppered and was okay by me, but … Anyway they replaced it with the shrimp linguine and even gave her a free glass of wine. A great experience overall. We used a
coupon. Would’ve been a little pricey without it.

This is one of our favorite places now, and so affordable for a hotel restaurant. This restaurant is right inside a Hyatt in the Marietta area and has free parking that is easy to access. The restaurant has an elegant feel, and a beautiful view of a water garden-​type area. I understand that in the warmer months, they even have seating there. The staff has always been great, and the service excellent. Unlike a lot of places, Padella can customize your order, adding or subtracting items, such as removing bleu cheese from the wonderful cheese plate (our favorite item, and a great price for the amount of cheese), and replacing it with any of the other selections without a charge or complaint. They also will take into account food allergies and work with you, which is great. Padella has an excellent bar menu, which has very affordable pricing for smaller portions, though we usually make meals out of them, from around $ 8-​$ 15 a dish, in addition to their regular entrée meal. They have vegetarian options too, and have had no issues modifying orders, and we have yet to try something we have not loved. I have not tried the dessert (always too full from the cheese plate and meal), but they sound tasty.
You can typically even get a great deal form
to try the food, which I would recommend. Any time we have used a deal there, they have always been just as pleasant as ever, while some places tend to treat customers differently once they produce a discount. We may never have found out about this place had they not had a deal there though, so I am glad they did.

I am currently staying at the Hyatt Regency Suites and while I have a meal delivery service, I have eaten a number of meals in the lovely Padella. Both restaurant and bar are comfortable and chicly decorated, like the entire hotel.
Sylvan and Richard, the bartenders, are great — Sylvan is particularly affable and the right combination of chatty when you want and sensitive to being quiet when you don’t.
All of the food I’ve had has been from good to excellent. What they call a «continental» breakfast comes with your room and IMO, other hotels should take note! The spread is unbelievable — from excellent eggs (they also have egg whites mixed with diced veggies) to both regular and turkey bacon well as regular sausage and some specialty kind (like chicken and feta) to waffles and hot crepes, a large spread of fresh fruit, cereal, grits and oatmeal with pretty much every topping you could want. It is tough for me to eat my special diet meals for breakfast with so much (free) goodness downstairs!
As far as other food goes, I’ve had the build-​your-​own flatbread twice — quite tasty. Interestingly, while I ordered the same thing both times (mushrooms and fresh mozzarella) but they were quite different: one very cheesy with baby bellas and the other much less cheese and shitakes (the latter I got to go as I realized it was almost time for «Scandal»! They put one of those metal hotel covers on it and gave me real silverware and a cloth napkin — perfect for noshing in my room). Last night, J and I had dinner at the bar and enjoyed the excellent charcuterie plate — with three types of Italian meats, sliced fontina and provolone, olives and roasted tomatoes done simply in olive oil, a very light and almost creamily spreadable mozzarella with herbs, and perfectly toasted ciabatta slices (you know, with just the right bit of char). Yum. Then we shared the chicken marsala — J was shocked I had never tried this dish before, as much as I like mushrooms, but I had never seen it and always thought it would have a heavy sauce I wouldn’t like. Not true! It had a light, slightly sweet marsala wine sauce and the linguine was perfectly cooked. The chicken and mushrooms atop were nice. The sauce was a little sweet for my tastes thanks to the marsala sauce, but it was good. We shared since we had started with the antipasto plate which is generous, but the marsala is just two small chicken breasts so lots of people would probably consider this a reasonably sized dish for one.
As far as prices, I disagree with the note above that this is a $$$ place — I would definitely put it at $$ as there is definitely not «hotel pricing» here to the extent you see so many places. Prices range from about $ 11 or $ 13 (the burger and pastas) to $ 25 (the ribeye). That’s what you’d find at a lot of restaurants J and I patronize, so it seems quite reasonable to us. I’m not drinking right now but having perused the wine list, was surprised to find how well-​selected and well-​priced (by the glass, most are $ 9 or $ 10 — wow, compared the the $ 11 – 16 charged by so many nicer places and especially hotels!).
I am definitely enjoying my stay here, and the food at Padella is a big part!

By and large, in-​room dining tends to be whatever. It’s one of those things that’s never terrible, but never great; and you really just do it because your flight just got in and you need something to eat, or you are on business somewhere new and don’t know anybody. But Padella is actually pretty good.
I give them tons of respect for making interesting Italian food. Their Caesar’s salad actually has anchovies in it, and if you ask they will give you the whole anchovies and not just chop it up really tiny. The crispy rice croquettes are tasty. They are a little bland on the inside and need that marinara for sure, but I found myself craving them later in the day. The scallop puttanesca could have used more sauce, but A+ for having a scallop puttanesca. The scallops were perfect in flavor and texture. The gumbo was AMAZING. IDK, maybe it’s because I just ran around the hilly area in 90 degree heat, but I inhaled it. It was delish. Thick, full of okra, full of heaven.
On flavor alone I’d give it 3 stars. However, they are very creative with their dishes, the presentation even for in-​room dining is great, the service is pretty good and the glass walls that offer a well-​lit view of the pool area is just gorgeous. Really, it’s lovely. So four stars on the whole.

We went on a Thursday night, taking advantage of a
cert. the place was empty save for one couple, and a few people at the bar. Our waiter was saddled with room service, so we saw him infrequently at best. The bartender was very pleasant and profusely apologetic for all the issues we encountered. my burger was raw when asked for well done, salad was brought out with the wrong dressing and WAY too much time between waiter visits. Then add the sound of a vacuum cleaner in the lobby that seemed to never end. And, the phone never stopped ringing. At the very least they could have turned the ringer down. The veggie ravioli were ok, but drowned in a so-​so tomato sauce. Atmosphere was very cold and sterile. I was hoping that a Hyatt would have had a nicer dinner place. this seemed like the café where you drop off the kids.

I travel A LOT, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this hotel. It is very well managed. The rooms are beautiful. The customer service is spot-​on.
Mostly, I want to talk about the food. I have severe gluten-​intolerance as well as other food restrictions, and I have had some horrible issues with food when I travel.
Hyatt Regency Suites in Marietta really gets it. I was treated like royalty, and I was able to dine without issue.
1– Robert Wood is the Director of Food and Beverage. Not only is he an extremely caring and responsible individual, he goes out of his way to make sure that guests are served food that is safe.
I’ve learned that it is always a good idea to call and speak to the Food and Beverage Director before staying at any property, so I’ve spoken to many. Robert was outstanding. He made sure that the kitchen knew I’d be at the hotel, and in turn, the kitchen prepared my meals perfectly and without the danger of cross contamination.
I was traveling on business, and the company who was sponsoring the training didn’t really understand how to work with vendors to provide a safe gluten-​free meal, so Robert spoke with the Chef at the Hyatt, and they made sure I was provided with a wonderful, gluten-​free lunch to take with me every day.
2– The Chef was equallly wonderful. Not only did he carefully prepare my food, he also surprised me with FABULOUS treats — things such as a gluten-​free muffin at breakfast (not on the menu), and the most sinful (but safe) gluten-​free cookies for lunch.
I felt as thought I were a normal person. .. in fact, I ate better than everyone else.
On top of it, Chef went on a special shopping spree, just to purchase goodies for me. I cannot begin to explain how much this meant to me. I’m used to hotels slapping a cold piece of chicken on some lettuce and giving it to me — no sense of caring, no empathy — just throw something safe on a plate and be done with it. Often, I’d end up with iceberg lettuce, and a couple ounces of meat. .. and that was supposed to sustain me for the day?
No way.
Not here. I had so much food, and I felt oh-​so cared for.
THANK YOU, ROB, CHEF AND HYATT! As anyone with food-​related disabilities can attest, being treated like this means the world.
