What people say, in short
Cooks & Soldiers is a Spanish food spot near Georgia Tech that many diners name as a dinner pick, including for birthdays and for solo eating at the bar. One diner calls its chuleton a top steak in the city, and another says the small dishes let cautious and adventurous eaters both build a meal. One visitor enjoyed it but found the drinks underwhelming and was brought the wrong wine twice, a letdown given the price.
