New American Restaurants in Atlanta, GA

“The atmosphere was super fun and unique - we loved the skeleton character seen throughout the menu and branding, as well as the eclectic and cool decor found throughout the restaurant. Not only was the restaurant full of character, the menu was full of unique and delicious items too. From a classic wedge salad, to the unexpected sweet and sour chargrilled pork steak, and the lemon-cornmeal cake for dessert, everything tasted amazing; every plate left our table completely cleared. To top it all off, the drinks were delicious too! Perfect mixes of flavor and the right amount of buzz, we could not be happier with our experience at the Ticonderoga Club.

Every staff member was friendly and courteous. Big shoutouts and thank you’s to Franny, our server, who was super attentive and gave us fantastic menu recommendations, as well as Greg for making our experience extra special (as well as being one of the folks we can thank for bringing this place to life).

The Ticonderoga Club is truly special and I highly recommend everyone to grab a bite, drink some cocktails, and enjoy the vibes at the House of the Friends of the Skull!“

“Dining at Atlas in Atlanta was, without a doubt, the most extraordinary culinary experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been to several Michelin-starred restaurants, but nothing has compared to this. What made this evening so unforgettable wasn’t just the masterfully crafted dishes (which were phenomenal), but the people who brought the experience to life. Chef Money and his incredible team, including Maxwell, Julian, and many others, showed a level of hospitality and genuine kindness that I have never encountered in fine dining. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel not just welcome, but truly cared for. And the food. Every single bite was absolutely unforgettable. Each dish was a perfect blend of artistry, flavor, and emotion. You could feel the heart behind every plate. From the first amuse to the final bite of dessert, I found myself completely immersed in the flavors. Every course built upon the last, creating a seamless, delicious journey I didn’t want to end. This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a beautifully orchestrated experience filled with warmth, creativity, and connection. Chef Money and his team have created something truly special at Atlas. I left feeling full, grateful, and honestly in awe of what I had just experienced. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. I cannot wait to return.“

“Great ace to find Geogia Grown local products, and Grocery. Best“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Lazy Betty last night and I can not begin to tell you how wonderful the meal was. The attention to detail in the preparation and service was above the norm. Servers were friendly, personable yet not intrusive which is a difficult mix that they have mastered. I highly recommend this establishment if you want a culinary “experience” that will make your tastebuds explode with delight.“

“The next future Atlanta Michelin restaurant has entered the chat. This was my second visit here tonight and yes, I came for the food. I embraced the concept of alpine dining and brought my husband here on this visit because we wanted a quick date night since all the kids were gone. Your best accomplishment Avize was winning my husband over. He was so hesitant to come here and afraid he may not enjoy the food but you sure did prove him wrong. From the beautiful eggshell starter to the salad to the pretzel buns to the carrot bolognese and bass, everything was done right. I must admit, I don't eat red meat so this menu was challenging in that I was limited to my options but bravo! You guys nailed every dish I ordered. I actually took the leftover mains home to freeze and enjoy again another day (not sure they will hold up while on vacation but I had to try!). Looking forward to another beautiful meal here soon.“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“I had an amazing brunch experience! Our waiter Chris was amazing. He made the best recommendations! I will definitely be back for dinner!“

“The atmosphere, the delicious breakfast and the excellent service. Faith was our server. So friendly and nice. The background music was good and not too loud 👍 Great experience“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“The food was truly incredible. Every dish had wonderful enticing flavors. And the labor and effort that went into every dish is significant. The duck confit was perfectly cooked, the lobster was phenomenal, and the sausage was amazeballs- I could eat that for consecutive dinners in a row for weeks.“

“The Argosy has consistently great food and a fantastic tap list. It's a huge part of East Atlanta Village and a gourmand's dream.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! Anytime I am in Atlanta and jave enough time, I stop and get their Shrimp & Grits. Winsome is a great Hostess and JaNelle was so sweet.“

“Great food, cocktails and service!“

“Food is amazing!!!!! Queen took great care of us!!!!!!!!! Loved it. Will definitely visit again! Thank you queen for everything !!!!!!“

“Dear Fresh 2 Order Leadership, I’m writing to recognize one of your team members, Ronald, who completely transformed our morning during a recent visit to your Concourse B location at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. In the 20 minutes we sat and enjoyed breakfast, we witnessed Ronald serve with a rare combination of energy, encouragement, and a true servant’s heart. He didn’t just attend to F2O guests, he supported everyone in the shared seating area, radiating care, joy, and intentionality with every interaction. It was inspiring. As a certified life and business coach and the Chief Joy Officer of JOYInc., I frequently teach about building personal value propositions, regardless of role or title. Ronald is now one of my go-to examples. His presence demonstrated that impact and excellence are not confined to position, but are driven by character and heart. I’d like to personally send Ronald a gift of appreciation. Could someone from your team help facilitate this? I don’t know what you pay Ronald, but I’ll say this: he is worth his weight in gold. Thank you for hiring and empowering someone of his caliber. He represents your brand with exceptional integrity and humanity. With Gratitude and Awe! Clif“

“This place is soo cute and such a fun after church vibe on a Sunday the staff was amazing shout out to Becca and the manager on duty as well as the food runners. They all were so helpful and welcoming thank you for helping us celebrate my best friend’s birthday. We will definitely be back. The Crab hush puppies and burgers are definitely a hit the salmon dip need seasoning but the drinks were perfect !“

“First time for us and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The drinks were amazing and Reginald gave great recommendations and he was attentive. Definitely going back.“

“Had such an enjoyable time with Bianca. She was incredibly hospitable and made me feel right at home—like I was sitting at my own kitchen table.“

“We had an overall good experience at this restaurant. The food was okay. We ordered the whole snapper, salmon, and squid ink pasta. Everything was ok.

After dinner, we informed the server that it was a birthday and asked for a dessert. Unfortunately, the dessert came without any candles or a birthday message, which was disappointing and took away from the moment.

Aside from that, the service and atmosphere were fine, and everything else went well.“

“We had a staff dinner and experienced VV’s cooking class. Rina Moreno was our chef providing guidance on the meal’s preparation and techniques to use in the kitchen. A gun experience, wonderful meal and Ms Moreno was a delightful host and guide. Recommend and we will return.“

“Every positive review about this passport office is 100% correct and then some. If you're in a time crunch to get your passport this office will absolutely have it ready for you the same day. The staff is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely efficient!“

“Just moved here and this is my new favorite spot! Been here twice so far and each time food was incredible and service friendly and attentive! Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic food and service! Vanessa was amazing and answered all of our questions. Because we were “first timers”, they brought out complementary nachos, which were fantastic. Everything on the menu was great, but you have to try the asparagus fries. You can also join their Marlow’s Rewards program and get discounts.“

“Stopped by after a concert. The vibe was good, everyone was so kind and welcoming, and the food… absolutely delicious. My husband and I split the wedding cake egg roll, and our only regret was that we should have gotten 2. Seriously some of the best food we’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and get some food from this place. Will definitely be back on our next ATL trip! God bless you guys!“

“Food was amazing 😍 Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful — and the service made it even better. Already planning my next visit 🤩🥐☕“

“Highest recommendations to our server Paola. She handled our large pre-wedding party like a pro. Great service, lots of fun. The best.“

“It’s a great change from your typical chain restaurants.“

“Food was amazing!!!! Service was great!“

“Great food, good drinks, ACF $15, lots of fun! Definitely try it!“

“We had an exceptional dining experience, thanks to the outstanding service from Faith, our waiter, and the expertly crafted drinks by Nick. Faith was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making sure our meal was perfect from start to finish. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made our 8th wedding anniversary celebration truly special. Nick's drink creations were impressive and added an extra touch of elegance to our evening. Beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing his skill and creativity. We are grateful for the wonderful service from both Faith and Nick and look forward to visiting again soon.“

“Tabby was in town and in usual Tabby flow she was exploring the atlasobscura website and came across The Consulate. As such, we decided to go. We had reservations for 06:15 on a Friday. Arriving about 20 minutes early as traffic happened to be light, we were able to be seated early without any issues. Upon entering the restaurant the hallway decor captures your attention as you focus on the selected hues of blue and artwork placement. Upon being seated we were immediately greeted by Cindy. Cindy arrived all smiles coupled with a huge personality and warm welcome. As this was our first time she took a moment to explain to us the menu selections, geographical inspiration, as well as answer the few questions we had about select items. Cindy’s education of the menu and experience with the foods added to the food deciding experience. Major shout out to Cindy. The ambiance of the restaurant is high energy, captivating and explorative. As you look around the restaurant it puts you in the mindset of being inside one of the classic true to theme castles in an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider movie. LoL! At any moment Laura Croft could walk in and grab one of the items on display and head out for her next mission. LoL! I decided on the String Beans with a side of Mexican Rice and I was more than satisfied with the flavor profile of my meal. The string beans were flavor stacked with the slight sweet from the sauce and the spice from the peppers. The texture was spot on for a true sautéed experience as well as the portion was perfect… The Mexican rice paired well with the string beans as it provided a texture variation as well as it was seasoned well but not overpowering in comparison to the string beans. This was truly a 10/10 experience. The service, the environment, and the food were all superb. Whether for a personal 2 person dinner or after work friend vibe, The Consulate is truly a must try for any occasion.“

“Lydell is very attentive and patient with me because this is my first visit. He explained all menu items in detail that I had questions about and made sure was comfortable with my wine choices. Thanks! Lydell you have been a super star ⭐️“

“July 05, 2025 Greetings, This evening, I had the opportunity to celebrate my 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion, my partner and I chose to dine at a fine dining establishment in downtown Atlanta. Regrettably, after we visited your downtown Atlanta location, it became clear that my hope for an outstanding dining experience was unlikely to be met. Upon our arrival, we had to wait despite having made a reservation several hours earlier. Eventually, we were seated at a table no larger than a nightstand. I immediately observed that, unlike the other tables, the candle on ours was unlit. This should have served as an indication of the service to follow. Once seated, we were presented with the menu and asked for two sweet teas. Soon after, we placed our orders. After waiting twenty minutes, we realized that our drinks had been forgotten. We subsequently reminded our waitress that we had ordered two sweet iced teas. After an additional ten minutes, our drinks arrived. Fifteen minutes later, our food finally arrived. Upon its arrival, I noticed a sticky substance around the $75 steak I had ordered. After considerable effort to cut into it, I tasted the meat and found it to be overcooked—its flavor reminiscent of a meal unintentionally left on the grill by an intoxicated cook. It was unsatisfactory, and I requested a remake. At this point, we had spent over an hour at your restaurant, and the staff began cleaning up. Finally, around 12:05 a.m., the re-cooked steak was brought out. Although it was an improvement over the first, it still did not merit the price of $75. Given that my potatoes were cold and the minimal ice in my refilled iced tea had melted, I opted to forgo the steak altogether. My partner, who is more willing to accept mediocre service, encouraged me to take the steak back to the hotel, which led us to request a to-go box. Ten minutes later, we received a small cardboard box, barely big enough for my food. Further, we were not offered anything to carry the sauce in, utensils, or even a bag. Shortly after, we received our bill, which totaled approximately $195.00, excluding gratuity. At that moment, I was overwhelmed with emotion and informed my partner that I needed a few minutes outside to collect my thoughts. I found it challenging to rationalize $200 for a meal arguably valued at $20 and customer service worth $10. Despite my objections, my partner insisted on refraining from discussing this matter with a manager. He wanted to avoid any conflict on my birthday. While I appreciate his noble intentions, I possess a strong aversion to inequality in any form. The treatment we received in an establishment that professes luxury and exemplary customer service was inadequate and perhaps a sign of your treatment towards Minority LGBT customers. We deserved a better experience. Although my birthday weekend was great, this experience was horrible. I am genuinely disappointed with my visit to your Atlanta location. I would have had a more satisfying experience at a more casual establishment, such as Texas Roadhouse, for a fraction of the costû. Sincerely, Gregory A. Reid Jr. Brandon F. Williams“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ classic • elegant • unique • delicious Atlanta, The Garden Room is the place to be on any night, but weekends are amazing because you get the chance to catch their in house DJ after 9pm. Make a reservation because they are sure to be fully committed. The brilliant and talented individuals that support the service at this upscale lounge are top notch. Jennifer, one of the managers has built an amazing relationship with my spouse and I. Her attention to detail is second to none. She remembers everything that we enjoy, the flavors we love and the food compositions that excite our palate, and she delivers one of a kind specialties. A few items that should land on your bucket list to try include: •I Love Lychee Martini: the best in ATL •Not So French •Love Potion •Fresh Baked focaccia bread served with balsamic vinegar and oils •SQUASH CAPPELLETTI ♥️ Everything on the menu was delicious including the custom Lychee Bon Bon’s that the pastry chef prepared for us in advance because I love Lychee so much. Jennifer scored us a show stopping VIP booth to the DJ. Her knowledge of the lounge and the Michelin Star restaurant “Atlas” next door was impeccable. Please don’t sleep on this lounge and get there as soon as you can.“

“I really enjoyed saints and council. It’s a beautiful addition to colony square and the restaurant is very beautiful with a calming atmosphere. The food and drinks were amazing and our server King did a phenomenal job and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10!“

“Charisma was awesome she checked on me and made sure I was well taken care of I will for sure be back to see her and I absolutely loved coming here for lunch. Everyone was so sweet and nice. The food was awesome I’m pregnant so me and my baby enjoyed the food!!! Amazing customer service!!! Thank you so much!!!“

“it was just a normal experience with Grand Hyatt, a little disappoint from the management service.. after all everything is great , especially hotel bar, Anyway, I will recommend you to visit once“

“Great piece of Atlanta history and an awesome menu.“

“Rashaad gave our large group of twenty people excellent service, food was great & drinks delicious!“

“the best! we ordered the chicken salad sandwich and the standard breakfast. all very amazing.. and the mimosas are excellent.“

“Groovy warehouse district turned brewery district, right on the south side beltline. Dont worry about space, they got plenty. Next door is a food hall if you can’t find a choice at boxcar.

The staff is super nice and ready to help!“

“Food is fantastic, service is great. My favorites the grilled artichoke, Smoked Salmon, Lamb chops, Steaks and every salad is delicious. I must try the burgers I hear they are highly recommended. What huge selection of wines too.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Social Capitol shortly after its opening, and I must say—it’s already operating like a well-loved local favorite.

The staff greeted me so kindly, helped me with menu suggestions, and checked up on me just enough; being attentive without ever being intrusive. It’s clear that hospitality is a top priority here.

The food? Exceptional. I had the breakfast sandwich with a side of potatoes and a parfait. Both dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re in the mood for a light bite or something hearty, the menu offers a well-balanced variety of items.

What really tied the experience together was the ambiance. The space is wonderfully designed. It’s sophisticated and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time at either dining, chatting, or working on your own thing.

Social Capitol hit everything on the nail - from excellent service and top-tier food, to a relaxing vibe. I’ll definitely be back—and bringing friends.“

“Parking is a mess for dinner on a late Friday night but it was worth the hassle. We parked on the streets in the neighborhoods and got a drink at the bar before our reservation. The drinks were great and the space is nice! The food was DELICIOUS. I would 100% recommend starting with the fry bread with pepperoni butter. That is a must have and the Japanese sweet potatoes are hands down the best sweet potatoes I’ve ever had. The Duck + fig plate I had was delicious and I’m glad I have leftovers. The Vegan Goods were good but nothing to die over. And finally the matcha crème Brûlée was good!“

“The chicken and waffles ? I’m not for atl but when I come back this will be the first stop“

“My fellow traveler and I stopped by on our way home to Virginia. It was a long day of travel, delayed flights, we just wanted to sit down and chill. We didn’t expect much out of an airport restaurant… But we were both blown away. Our server, Tarvis, was charming, professional, knowledgeable, and exceptional. The BLT with bacon jam, and the rice pudding with cinnamon and peaches was superb. (I could’ve eaten a whole jar of the bacon jam.) Tarvis, thank you for making two weary travelers leave your restaurant with pep in their step Keep on shining your light. And to any traveler who is leery of a place that serves a hamburger and a sushi roll… Fear not. This place is great.“

“I had a amazing time at 5Church Atlanta. Went for friends birthday. A lot of other Restaurants in Atlanta had horrible 2 hour wait times but this restaurant did not . Great Service. Great Food. Great location. Best restaurant experience I had in years . It’s so nice. Very upscale, classy , urban vibe . We got there early before reservation like 15/20 mins was able to be seated immediately. Waitress got drink orders and menu orders fast . Food came out quickly 15/20 mins . It was delicious and warm. All the food was delicious. Will go again and recommend it . Great restaurant, probably one of best in Atlanta. Prices were affordable $40/60/100 depending on number of people in group and good portions for food , so you can order a few things and split: try a few things on menu . It’s worth money and experience. Me and friend had lamb burger , fries . Other Friend got waffle and chicken .“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Longleaf in the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and Chef Ryan and his team did an absolutely fantastic job. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff truly made us feel extra special, which added so much to the experience. Our server, Madison, was incredibly attentive and accommodating, and another server who assisted her was equally wonderful. The entire atmosphere was warm, inviting, and relaxing—perfect before an evening walk through the Garden Lights.
The food and drinks were exceptional. I ordered a refreshing mocktail garnished with candied ginger, and you could truly taste the freshness in every sip. Everything we ordered was clearly made from scratch.
For appetizers, we enjoyed the beef tartare, clam chowder, and the standout cauliflower hummus. While everything was delicious, the beef tartare and especially the cauliflower hummus were unforgettable. The hummus was incredibly fresh with a perfectly creamy texture—one of my favorite dishes of the night.
For our entrées, we tried the double-stack Wagyu smash burger, the beef short rib, and a kale salad. We also ordered side dishes of roasted carrots, truffle mushrooms, and fingerling potatoes—each one absolutely phenomenal and bursting with flavor. All the dishes were vibrant, fresh, and cooked to perfection.
For dessert, we enjoyed a s’mores tart and a pumpkin cheesecake, paired with a cup of coffee. It was the perfect ending to a truly wonderful meal.
I highly recommend trying Longleaf before walking the Botanical Garden holiday lights. The lights were breathtaking and made the entire evening even more special. Just a tip: make your Garden Lights reservation for a little earlier than your dinner reservation, since the restaurant is inside the garden and you need entry before dining. We had a small mix-up with our times, but thankfully the staff was very accommodating and made sure we could get to the restaurant without any issues.
Overall, this was an incredible dining experience—delicious food, excellent service, and a magical setting. We felt celebrated and cared for the entire evening. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the garden during the holidays“

“My Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening and meal! Great food! Great Atmosphere! Will definitely be back!!!“
