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.“

“Went to the Speakeasy party of the restaurant, but seating is limited and we had six people. So we are in the main dining area. This was a Sunday, when they offered the special noodle bowls. Design your own bowl with so many options! Outstanding!! Broth was incredible, noodles perfectly cooked and all the added ingredients were fresh and delicious. This is only offered for the next three Sundays, so take advantage.“

“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“

“Best Dinner experience period. Chef Karl is a master he has curated the best food, staff, wine pairings, cocktails, you name it. The attention to detail and execution is astounding. This restaurant deserves all the accolades. Shoutout to Jess at the bar and Gabby our server, but it’s a team effort. A wonderful experience and they went out of their way to make our anniversary special.“

“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.“

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food, cocktails and service!“

“Sydney and Lily were great bartenders!!“

“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“

“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!“

“I walked into the restaurant and was a little confused. Long day traveling. It was late and I was hungry.
Kat found me in the lobby. She escorted me to a table. She got my order in quickly. Food was amazing!!!!
Hats off to Kat to for the great service!!!!!“

“I realized my passport expired 48 hours before an international flight. I was able to book an appointment in the Atlanta Passport Agency for the next day in the morning at 9:30am. By 11am, I had my passport in hand. The people were all extremely friendly, EVERYONE, from the security to the tellers. This made an extremely stressful experience much better. This literally is the best run government agency I have ever dealt with. THANK YOU!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 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.“

“Took my wife to L on North for her birthday and we had a very nice experience. Food was very good, service was friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly and was as ordered. Our server was Bella and she was great! Also, the location of this restaurant is great as well as there are many things to do before and after dinner.“

“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!!!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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.“

“Second time my husband and I have come here for their Taco Tuesday deal! The three tacos I got were perfect! And you can’t beat $3 chips and salsa. It also happened to be kids night so they had Zootopia playing and tbh, it was cute and we didn’t mind it! They also had multiple screens on with the news and football - so something for everyone! We will definitely be back for another night (possibly trivia night or live music night!!)“

“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 .“

“Lunch for four on a beautiful autumn day. The last few times, the service had been slow, but much better on this visit. We had to ask for the crackers for the charcuterie, but it came quick enough and one of had to ask twice for lemon for her iced tea. Everyone's meal was very good, clam chowder, fish and chips and kale salad. Still al little on the expensive side for lunch, though.“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“@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.“

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