New American Restaurants near Smyrna, GA

“I found Zeke's while in town on business. Amazing food and staff! Highly recommend!“

“Everything was very good. The sweet Thai chili sauce with the deviled eggs worked more than you think it would. And the salad mixture cut through the fried flavor nicely. The pre made topping burgers seemed like a safe bet. And both my husband and I were impressed that even with all the unique things that built the burgers, you never got the “too much gene” issue that other restaurants can struggle with. Which was nice! What we ordered: The Fried Devilled Eggs The Bistro Burger The Heat-something burger (basically the spice heads one) Amber BD beer. Everything was great and our waitress was super nice and social without being invasive.“

“My friends and I were in town for one evening and were lucky enough to stumble into this incredible restaurant! The menu is largely seasonal but the Brisket Meatloaf was simply incredible, as well as the house cocktail. My friends also enjoyed their duck confit. Highly recommend giving this place a try, I know I’ll be back when I’m in town“

“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“

“My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Spring. The service and food were top tier. We can’t wait to see the restaurant after the renovations and eventually try the new location when it opens.“

“Took my wife and daughter for a weeknight birthday dinner. We've dined at all the white tablecloth establishments in Atlanta and unequivocally Avize is a top-tier restaurant. Great place for a wonderful evening with loved ones or any celebration deserving a high-end dining experience. Food is very creative, service is impeccable, and they've built a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.“

“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 restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 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 have been eating here for years. It is our favorite restaurant ever, as well as my favorite restaurant to refer my clients when they come from out of town. I have never had a meal that wasn't cooked to perfection, as well as the kindest employees, and excellent service always. hands down the best“

“Sydney and Lily were great bartenders!!“

“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.“

“This place saved my vacation!! So I didn't know countries have a 6 month passport expire requirement. Meaning you cant enter the country if your passport expires in 6 months. So I couldnt fly. I called them on a Sunday and they got me in Tuesday morning 0730am (Monday was a holiday). My new passport was ready in a couple of hours. Im able to still make my vacation!!!

SN: if you want to stay at a nearby hotel, Hotel Indigo is literally next door, a few steps away.“

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

“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!“

“Their pizza is delicious, as well as their other menu items. Please try them out for Happy Hour throughout the weekday, 3pm-6pm. The environment is clean and nice, and the employees are friendly. The wait time was about 15 minutes and about 30 minutes for our food. I highly recommend for a Happy Hour, date night, or late night spot.“

“For starters, I went on a Friday and our server Molly was chef’s kiss. Every single recommendation she made was a hit. We started with the asparagus fries—10/10. I had the Blackberry Buck craft cocktail (so good), and the Cabernet Sauvignon (can’t remember which one) and for dinner I went with the chicken panini, which was amazing. Literally every choice was Molly-approved and she did not miss.

The atmosphere was just right—dim lighting, subtle music in the background, and a really cozy vibe. This spot is perfect for a cute girls’ check-in or a date night with your boo 💕“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“100% Love this place. Fresh food all the time.“

“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.“

“One of the best meals we’ve had in the Atlanta Metro. Great service, reasonable pricing and right on Marietta Square. Already planning our return visit.“

“Loved the fondue dip and it was my Birthday surprise🎂🎂🎂“

“I have been there 4 or 5 times since my last review and the good was on point. Food was so good Friday, I went back YESTERDAY and it was a hot mess. Told cashier well she had extra crispy on ticket. Crust fell right off and was not done inside. Do not like mushy5 fish.I usually have the food finish by the time I drive back to Atanta, could not eat the food.“

“Food was delicious. I got the boom boom shrimp and the grouper tacos with Brussels sprouts. Very tasty. Our service was great. Jake was prompt, efficient and nice. Always enjoy our meal, no matter what we have ordered over the years.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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“

“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!“

“absolutely phenomenal wonderful food wonderful decor and wonderful service“

“Well, so I was a tad late to the Party 🎉. I drove past McCray’s Tavern in East Cobb wanting to pop by and see what’s going on… Sunday afternoon 01/11/2026 was the day. I absolutely LOVE the Layout (especially the Bar)… the Bartenders were incredible and the food (wings on the Carnivore Diet) were cooked perfectly. Good Food, Good times and Wild 🤪 Card Football 🏈 Sunday at McCray’s may be my NEW FAVORITE 🤩 PLACE!“

“100% Love this place. Fresh food all the time.“

“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.“

“We dined there last night right before we strolled through the Christmas lights in the gardens. Everything was EXCELLENT especially our server Maya! The food was amazing. Soooo many flavors. Our sons loved their meals ! Our 17yo tried the Duck Confit and ate every bit of it! Maya knew the menu intimately and helped us decide. If you can request Maya, you MUST. She’s a STAR ! We sat outside and it was fine because they have the clear vinyl walls up so it wasn’t too cold. Our reservations were at 5:15 and we walked out dinner off strolling thru the gardens afterwards. Oh! The pumpkin cheesecake was AMAZING!! MAya, thank you for taking such great care of us!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

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

“The food was great but our waitress Shannon will be the reason I go back! She is wonderful- if you go ask for her, she is a delight!“

“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 really enjoyed dinner tonight for our date night! See you all again soon“

“Amazing food and the manager Chay was awesome and helped us out and went above and beyond with a difficult process! Also very festively dressed! 100% recommend this place !“

“Absolutely a joy here. Our server was fantastic helped me avoid choosing wrong dish. Food was great. Ahi tuna sashimi delicious. Whiskey and aged cheese burger great. Mac and cheese great. Wife had chicken avacado sandwich and was going on and on about how much she liked it.

Also who doesn’t want to have a half yard of beer?“

“Our first time here and it was so good. Service was excellent from start to finish. Had burger and fries and they were perfect. Had pork belly for appetizers the taste was so good. Can’t wait to go back and try the shrimp pasta.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience! Great service, food and atmosphere! We will be back and I highly recommend to everyone!“

“@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.“
