Chef Kevin Gillespie’s restaurant, Gunshow, offers a bold, interactive take on the traditional dining experience. Dishes are presented to diners at your table, by the person that prepared the dish and cocktails are prepared table side. Menus are hyper seasonal and hyper creative. Along with an innovative dining experience, the restaurant’s design is also unique. An open seating concept incorporating the kitchen into the dining room. The restaurant’s name is a tribute to his family. Growing up, Gillespie’s father worked seven days a week to provide a better life for his family. On the rare Sunday afternoon he had off, father and son would go to a gun show. Gunshow is located in the Glenwood Park neighborhood of Atlanta
“This is a VERY UNIQUE experience. You’ll have a chance to see everything on the menu as the chefs who prepare the food will bring each dish to you one at a time and then present the dish to you and you’ll need to make a decision if you want that or not. Serving sizes are small and are a good sample size for two people. We went with about 6 dishes for the 2 of us. The service is spectacular as well. A reservation is needed and we marked someone in our party as vegan and they called to confirm the dietary restrictions. Pretty much every dish on the menu they ended up making a vegan option and presented that to us as well! Everything tasted excellent and was a night to remember!”
“Best meal of the year, though it's early. Tasting menu small plates like served dim sum cart style by excellent kitchen team. About 16 savory and 3 sweet courses. I had them all. It's possible and worth it! Get the caviar upgrade. Such care in sourcing ingredients. Excellent technique. We'll run crew front an back. Good wines and cocktails. Open cool space. Highly recommend.”
“I had the best time at Gunshow! I was a solo diner which can be intimidating, but from the moment I walked in they made me feel welcome. The food was delicious and creative. I love how they brought each dish to your table for you to decide whether you’d like to try it or not. Fun atmosphere and great service.”
“This restaurant offers a unique dining experience where the service is pleasantly uncommon. When the food is ready, it comes to you. You don’t order what you want on the menu; the chefs bring their dishes to you when they are ready. The ingredients are unique and the meals are newly imagined masterpieces. This is food in its most creative form. The service was amazing and the chefs and servers were attentive and knowledgeable. This was such a special experience and I will be coming back. This place is for the bold and risky eaters. There is something for everyone, but I would urge you to consider how much you would try before choosing this place as it is pricey. So fun to go with other people for a fun, new dining experience.”
“The concept is there are [four or five] chefs, each cooks/creates a few dishes on the menu, then each presents/delivers their dish that you order. Some dishes were good, others were just okay. The menu changes regularly and our friends who go often said that this meal was not as good as their past experiences, so maybe we’d give it another shot? It is not an inexpensive meal. The atmosphere is very casual.”
