Twelve Eighty

Went there to get a quick bite before museum . The bartender was just not interested in serving me or even talk to me properly . There were handful of people at the restaurant . None of them eating . She could not be inconvenienced to bring a menu to me or even greet or acknowledge me properly ! This is an older woman working the bar. 1 pm on friday sept 1st. Do better , its not 2016-17 when you were the only place to eat or get a drink near museum.

Be aware this restaurant listed on this website services and food are very different than what is listed. This place only provides a couple of selected prepacked cold salads, sandwiches, and pot pies. You have to go to the register to place your order, get your food and pay. There are no waiters. If you are only buying a drink you might be okay. The lady at the register was very unfriendly, and not accomodating whatsoever. There are gnats flying around and the floors are dirty. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I came here a number of times about 8-10 years ago. It was fabulous in every way. Elegant, delicious, beautiful… all worthy of the amazing High Museum with which 1280 has always coexisted. Fast forward to 2022. I came in today for the first time since then. Food is insipid, the restaurant is dirty and in disrepair. There’s even stale food on the floor that hasn’t been cleaned up since who knows when (maybe since my last visit 8-10 years ago). None of the staff had uniforms. They were all in their *very* casual day clothes. My server was wearing old jeans and a hoodie. Pretty bad. Definitely not worthy of its High Museum / Woodruff Art Center companions. Not coming back.

The wait staff are friendly and plesant to interact with.

The food was light and enjoyable after a long walk around the museum. I had potato soup and a small ceasar salad. I've been thinking about the soup since I've had it, so I would consider it must try on a cold day!

The restaurant has great lighting and a slightly quiet atmosphere. It's great for dining alone, a lunch date, or for small groups.

Delightful dining experience. Enjoyed our appetizers, very nice service and excellent atmosphere to grab a bite before or after the High museum. So convenient!

This spot is a 3 star bordering a 4 because of the good service and interior almost making me overlook the prices. I waited 10-15 minutes for the food to come out, but the beautifully designed interior made up for it the vibe inside is absolutely great. I recommend the Twelve Eighty burger and truffle fries, and linguine with clams. The gumbo was ok too, it would’ve been my favorite dish if it was seasoned more. Come here if you got a good amount of money and feel like treating yourself out when visiting the High Museum.

Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff was very kind and accommodating. I wish I knew the name of the bartender because he went above and beyond to make sure we had our drinks to our liking. The servers and hostesses were likeable. The food was very good. I recommend the grouper if you like fish. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience. I will come back to this place again.
