New American Restaurants in Atlanta, GA

“One of the best places for cocktails in the city hands down. The bartenders are truly invested in the craft and it shows. They are also great to talk to and discuss mixology which we love.

The food is fantastic albeit smaller portions. The sweetbreads in particular are fantastic. They have that rare quality where even though it's an arm and leg to leave full I don't care because I've enjoyed it so much.

You'll love the place if you appreciate a warm, informal and inviting atmosphere being run by people who are interested and invested in the craft and your experience.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing service, unique food.“

“We stopped by here during a progressive dinner. We had the pepperoni fry bread and the fried peppers. We wish they would have given us more of the pepperoni butter. It was very good but all gone halfway through the bread. The fried peppers were really good. The service was 5 stars and the atmosphere out on the back seating area was very nice. Would go here again!“

“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.“

“Avize was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and the atmosphere was elegant and intimate. Every dish felt unique and full of flavor. Such a memorable dining experience. I would definitely come back! 10/10!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Great food, cocktails and service!“

“I dined here with a few girlfriends last Saturday and the 5Church team made our girls night out truly special! We were seated at the high top bar tables, which had a great ambiance and allowed us to mingle freely. Our server, Andraya, was wonderful and provided great recommendations and even had the kitchen split our entrees for us without us even having to ask so that we could all share. The food was phenomenal and we recommend the braised short rib, filet and pappardelle! The manager AJ finished our dinner off by recommending espresso martinis for our group, which was the perfect end before we headed out. 10/10 we will be back!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely Fabulous. The layering of flavors made each bite a special adventure to savored.“

“Nice atmosphere!! Great neighborhood pub!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Really delicious food and so grateful to have this spot in our Westside neighborhood.

Ordered take out twice in one week: fried shrimp sandwich, shrimp and grits, salmon and grits, and the breakfast plate (many names aren’t exact I’m going from memory) and collards. Everything was great except the fry in my shrimp was a bit hard for a sandwich. Collards are delicious and you know you can’t just eat those anywhere.

Also, even though they pack food in styrofoam, I’m grateful that they put parchment paper down so your food isn’t directly touching the styrofoam and so your food doesn’t taste toxic/plastic-y.“

“Had a great evening out with friends at Double Zero. Great location, right next to Emory University. The food was excellent. Their garlic knot is still in active memory even after a week. Service was prompt and caring.

My one regret was that we were there on a weekday night, when the atmosphere was a bit subdued, and the foosball and pool tables were not being used. I can imagine the place becomes on big party on weekends, when the music is pumping and the game tables are being well used.

Thanks for the terrific evening.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Went in at around 8:45pm on Saturday for a group of 2. Wasn't overcrowd and the food + service was great.

Parking is free valet parking that's pretty much right next to the store. Just pull up and the valet attendant will handle it. I would recommend tipping.

Two notes:
1. There's a $5 entree splitting fee that I wasn't aware of. My server just asked if me and my partner were sharing one entree and I said yes. Would have declined if I knew there was a charge but that's my bad.
2. There's a 3% convenience fee for credit card included in the bill.“

“I hadn’t been to LadyBird in a long time, but my boss chose to have a going-away surprise party for a coworker there this week. We made no reservations beforehand as our group wasn’t expected to be more than 20, and we all were familiar with the location and knew there’d be plenty of space. Plus, it was 1 pm on a Wednesday, not necessarily prime time for an establishment like ladybird.
I arrived a little before the party to prep and was greeted by Sam. I explained our situation and you would’ve thought Sam was their lead event coordinator (and maybe she is??)! I was so anxious that we’d be a burden, but she was incredibly warm and eager to make sure we had the best time. And we did!
Sam and Ally continuously checked in on us throughout the afternoon, brought waters and bundles of silverware to our table without being asked, and never once did we want for anything.
The food was delicious. The cocktails were INCREDIBLE! They just changed over to their fall menu and we enjoyed everything we ordered. If Sam, Ally, and the other employees who helped us throughout the afternoon are anything to judge ladybird by, then I will be returning soon; whether just for a lunch alone or another party! To Sam, Ally, and the other employees/kitchen staff I didn’t get names of who worked the afternoon of 9/23: THANK Y’ALL FOR MAKING SURE WE HAD AN EASY AFTERNOON! Hospitality at its best, truly. 🫶“

“I got there when it seemed like it was going to rain or else I’d give it 5 stars.

The staff was solid and accommodating.

Nicole was my server. She was super cool and accommodating.

I had the a beer and some brussel sprouts and they were delicious. Couldn’t finish my plate.

If you want a nice meal without the cliche happy hour vibe, after work - this is the place.“

“My husband and I had an incredible dining experience at Georgia Boy. Every course was amazing and the creativity of each dish blew us away. We were sent home with delicious Wonka style candy bars and gave one to our daughter Georgia (who is a huge fan of the Willy Wonka movies) and she was in awe! We will definitely be returning!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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.“

“Danbi is amazing! I try every dish I can. It’s a hidden gem! I highly recommend it! Your taste buds will thank you!“

“Kat was fantastic!! Her service was fantastic, her menu knowledge was out of this world and checked on us plenty of times. However, Bobby was not nice at all. We spoke to every bar guest at the bar outside of my friend and I, lots of swearing. He didn’t acknowledge my friend and I one time the entire experience. He curses a lot, lots of F-bombs all the things. Only reason it’s a 5 star review is because of Kat. Shoutout to her!“

“I’ve been going there for little over a week and found an absolute dime of a bar tender. Tayler went above and beyond when it came to serving my crew and I. From being attentive enough to not let us feel forgotten and accommodating enough to swap the sports channel upon request, despite it being a manager only procedure she knew exactly what to do and even helped the manager along with the process. I highly recommend this place for any and all.“

“Exceptional service! Our waiter was very attentive. The food was well seasoned and delicious. This establishment is booked weeks and sometimes months ahead of time, that proves how good the food is. I would highly recommend this place. I definitely will be revisiting.“

“We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday and even though the food didn't come back quite like some wanted it, we definitely appreciated the server Jamani for assisting our server who seemed a little overwhelmed and the Manager Taylor was awesome! He was great with fixing the issues and making the situation better considering it was a birthday brunch celebration! He & Jamani even sang Happy Birthday with us to her! It ended up being a good time! Thank you guys so much!“
