The bar was high and everyone and everything leaped very far over it. Every dish, dessert, and drink were perfectly balanced. It's rare that a restaurant nails any of those 3, but to have it all with great service on top? Extremely impressive! We had a large party and got to try 90% of the menu. It's all delicious. Thank you for the great meal and memories

Southern Belle is one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Atlanta. Special shout out to the short rib with butter beans and okra four ways. The amount of effort and deliberate thought put into the dishes and drinks (both with and without alcohol) really shows. Flavors are balanced, textures are intentional, and presentation is exquisite. The staff are genuinely friendly, helpful, and excellent.

TL;DR: Great vibes; each individual plate was complex and tasty, but lack of cohesion from dish to dish took away from the overall meal. Recommend asking for guidance on what dishes work well together.
Overall, this was a good meal with great service in an inviting atmosphere. The restaurant itself is small, creating an intimate vibe. Our server was great, and it was acknowledged by the hostess, manager, and our server that we were celebrating a birthday, which we appreciated.
The food itself was very clearly thoughtfully developed. We were advised when we sat down that the chef recommends 2-3 dishes per person. We ended up getting 6 dishes for the two of us: two smaller plates, a bigger plate, two biggest plates, and a dessert. We ordered based on what jumped out at us and looked good, but what we came to realize is that dish-to-dish, our meal had a variety of flavor profiles that didn’t mesh: we had two dishes with distinctly Mediterranean flavors, one that was a bit more citrus-centric, and two that were more fruit-forward than anticipated (we didn’t expect the mushroom toast to be fruity; we should have expected it more with the duck breast).
While each dish on its own was very good, we left the meal feeling as if we had had 5 separate meals (plus dessert) that were largely different. If we were to go back, I would pick a dish that we wanted to center our meal around and ask our server to help us curate other dishes that would complement that dish well.

Food was delicious however all 3 of our entrees came out at different times. We prefer not to eat our meal until all are served, therefore my risotto was luke warm as we waited for the trout and then the short ribs. Please don't bring out items until plates are ready for the entire table. That was disappointing but otherwise all flavors were delicious and servers were friendly and helpful.

Chef Joey Ward (who once “Beat Bobby Flay”!) provides a sensory-filled evening with a setting that is only surpassed by the food. The best restaurant in Atlanta. 10/10 hosts are knowledgable and go the extra mile, shoutout to J.

My wife and I just had a fantastic meal here. The food was excellent tasting and beautiful. The zataar carrots, fried feta bruschetta, pork belly, and pistachio ice cream were all standouts. This place deserves Michelin star consideration for the service as well as the food. Maliyah was attentive, knowledgeable, and made our meal so enjoyable. We will be back.
