New American Restaurants near Dunwoody, GA

“We were visiting Atlanta from Wilmington NC. My husband and I went to dinner on 9/6 and were incredibly blessed to meet Eric. He realized that our server, Lala, was busy and that we were waiting a couple of minutes at our table. Literally only a few minutes and we were in no rush at all. He immediately asked us what we would like to drink, was extremely personable, hospitable and friendly. Turns out we had LOTS in common!! Lala was amazing and super sweet and both Eric and Lala continued to serve us throughout the evening. Everything was amazing. The service, cocktails, wine and food were both exceptional!! Everything was so amazing that we ended up coming back the next evening and we were lucky enough to have Lala again for our server. Eric was about to leave for the evening when he saw that we had returned with our daughters and granddaughter. He stopped at our table and we chatted for several minutes while getting to know our children. It was another amazing encounter! The evening got EVEN BETTER when we met Curtis! Eric had asked Curtis to take good care of our family. He came over to our table and after speaking for under a minute, we found out that we had SO MUCH in common with Curtis as well!!!! He was incredibly friendly and hospitable. He even told our daughter, that we are moving into school in Atlanta, to give him a call if she needs anything at all. Food, body guard, gas money, anything, lol! We also had the pleasure of meeting the amazing bartender, Gerald. He came over to our table and introduced himself and we chatted for a few minutes. Could not have been a better experience or evening thanks to everyone at Seasons 52!!! The food and drinks were exceptional last night as well!!!“

“We had a ton of fun, the food and service were great and we made a new friend in Cassii. Will definitely come back“

“Great Food And friendly staff and cozy atmosphere Tanya is the best“

“This is absolutely my favorite place in Perimeter Mall. Food is always delicious, hot and fresh. I typically get jalapeno chicken or shrimp mixed with charbroiled chicken to cut the heat from the jalapenos. Paired with sweet potatoes and the mixed zucchini, cabbage, green bean offering and it never disappoints! The jalapeno juice mixes with the sweet potato juice and it's fire! The meat is always juicy, well seasoned - hot, and tasty. I love the simple flavor of the sweet potatoes, just potatoes, sugar and a little cinnamon. The veggie mix is better than any of the individual veggies I've tried here. Tender, flavorful and never over salted. I found what I like from this place and I don't typically switch it up but I have in the past tried some of their other offerings, such as the lo mein noodles, broccoli , green beans, and Mac and cheese. All were good but nothing like my usual. If this weren't so far I'd eat here a few times a week.“

“I work near Velvet Taco, and I am in there at least once a week.
Kasiyah smiled and greeted me when I came in, and she was very friendly. She went out of her way to help me. I didn't have enough cash, and she was accommodating.
Kasiyah, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I appreciate you!!!!!
Thank you Velvet Taco for having conscientious people working for you!“

“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.“

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

“AMAZING SERVICE from Luna menu was amazing but as we were eating to be sat she stole us with her personality meal was great and she kept the pace with the vibrant personality we felt welcome due to her was t ginnna even think about desert but she just kept reeling me in not like a car salesman but more like a nurse with a lollipop after a shot ❤️“

“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.“

“Great food! Tasted a lot of the small plates.“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“We went for brunch, and the buffet was very varied and delicious, and the atmosphere very nice.

However, they still have a lot of work to do when it comes to customer service. Starting with the hostess, who made us feel as though we were bothering her and that seating us was a favor. Even though there were plenty of available tables, half of the sunroom was empty, and several tables had just been cleared, she was extremely reluctant to give us a table there.

The reservation clearly states that the brunch seating is for two hours, yet after only one hour, the check was brought to us without our asking for it.

Unfortunately, you are left with the impression that this is a high-volume operation focused on turning tables over quickly, rather than a place where the customer comes first.“

“Great food, cocktails and service!“

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

“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!“

“Thank you, Kai! Our meal was delicious and healthy. I’m gluten free so I love having options. The grain bowl with salmon is filling and healthy and tastes great! The avocado salad was also delicious as was it beautifully prepared. Highly recommend!“

“My favorite Avalon restaurant - the food is so good, and good for you too! The Korean noodle bowl is my favorite. DJ was our server tonight and he amazing! So friendly, so helpful…a great night out!“

“The quality of the food is top notch. The facility has a cool vibe to it with the high ceilings, open kitchen, and large bar. Iirc, the wine racks are a throwback to the original FSE. Our waitress Nei (sp?) really knew the menu and made great recommendations on pairings of food. The seating area is rather open and can be noisy. The portions are appropriate for your meal, and there were no leftovers at our table. Prices are on par with other restaurants of this caliber. Plenty of free parking right behind the restaurant. We will be back. 💯“

“Great menu, staff, and value. Highly recommend for any occasion. They make you feel like family 👍“

“11/10 Would recommend. The staff was amazing and friendly! Great pricing, great food. I was here for work, and I didn’t even bother going anywhere else. I will definitely come back when in the Atlanta/Buckhead area!“

“First time here last Saturday night. Sat at the bar around 7pm. Bar was empty. Restaurant tables doing a steady business. Bartender was very nice. Burger was very good but bun was so soggy you had to eat it with a knife and fork. Onion rings and tots crispy and good. Fries soggy and did not eat. Would go back but definitely order the burger with "the bun on the side". Soggy bun and fries.could have been because they sat at the kitchen window too long before being served. All and all a pleasant experience and close to home for a burger and a beer.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Delicious beef dip & house salad. Wow, what a pleasant surprise!“

“This night was spectacular! The music, ambiance and food were amazing ! However, the real “WOW” was our servers, Murphey & Connor. They kept up with the “preacher, the politician and the former agent”. We laughed all night, while we enjoyed the most exceptional service around! Thank you !!!“

“Great service Thomas is the best server and has outstanding manners!“

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

“@fia_atlanta is more than the restaurant located in Buckhead’s @theburgesshotel; it celebrates Mediterranean cuisine featuring wood-fire grilled specialties. Fia is open daily for breakfast and dinner and has a cozy, intimate atmosphere where you feel like you are among friends, due in part to the stellar customer service. The food is some of the best in Atlanta! My favorite dishes include the Butternut Squash Soup, Jumbo Asparagus, and Pork Belly. I found Mr. B's Burger good but not craveable given the price point.“
