Lots of pretty people in an attractive room. Sometimes fussy service but they don't necessarily refill water glasses and the guacamole that was a topping for my ""flat iron steak came out warm. The meat itself, a london broil sort of preparation, was good, but the kitchen just does not know how to caramelize onions which were acrid if not poisonous. Also the tortilla chicken was very good. The crushed crisp tortillas gave an interesting and different texture. \r

Altogether, the flavors are not really so different or clever. I've been there several times now and have absolutely no remaining curiosity about their menu. Not a good food value. You are paying excessively for the location. If you have trouble with steps, request a lower level table when you reserve. KYMA and the fish restaurant , while not cheap, are both better efforts on the part of the Buckhead Life group. In fact I've been to all their places and Nava is at the bottom.
Pros: Pretty room.
Cons: Too noisy to really be romantic.
