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.“

“I took my mom out to Muss & Turner's for brunch today as an early Mother's Day celebration to avoid the fuss tomorrow, and WOW! While I've stopped by for drinks before (iykyk), I had never actually explored the food menu. Talk about a knockout!!

The restaurant sits in a bustling shopping plaza alongside a few other spots, but parking was surprisingly easy considering peak brunch time. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with both indoor and outdoor seating, and it has a very family-friendly vibe without feeling chaotic. Our waitress, Carly, was an absolute delight. She was attentive, warm, and kept everything moving smoothly despite how busy brunch service was.

Now on to the food, because this meal absolutely delivered.

We ordered the S.E.C., the French toast, and the shrimp and grits.

The S.E.C. was an open-faced everything bagel layered with perfectly cooked shaved beef, tender caramelized onions, cheese, a garlic spread, and topped with a fried over easy egg. When I tell you I wrapped that sandwich up QUICKLY!!! The combination of flavors was literally joy in a bite. The jammy yolk coated everything perfectly and brought the whole dish together. Easy 10/10.

The shrimp and grits were also some of the best I've ever had. The flavor they developed with the andouille sausage, peppers, and seasonings paired perfectly with the creamy grits, which helped balance some of the heat. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and that gravy on top... y'all already know I love a good sauce. It coated every topping so each bite felt balanced and packed with flavor. Another easy 10/10.

The French toast was a hit too. It leaned more bread pudding style, which honestly made me nervous because I'm typically not a bread pudding fan, but this completely worked for me. You could really taste the depth from the caramelized sugar on the cook, and honestly, it could've stood on its own. The whipped cream helped cut some of the sweetness and balanced things out nicely. My one note was that a few of the smaller pieces had slightly bitter notes, probably from a longer caramelization, but clearly it didn't bother me too much because I still finished the plate. Solid 8/10.

Muss & Turner's has officially made its mark as a place I'd gladly come back to, especially for brunch. Definitely one of the better brunch experiences I've had in a while.“

“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.“

“All I can say is WOW. What an amazing dining experience. I would be very surprised if Avize doesn’t earn a Michelin star this year. Everything about this restaurant is top tier. Every item we had from the amuse bouche through dessert was a 10/10. You can taste the passion and desire for excellence in each dish. The menu is very creative but every dish is extremely well balanced and a joy to eat. Each dish is absolutely beautiful as well. The ceviche and tartare were the best we’ve had in recent memory. The bread service was insanely good. The black garlic butter so good I could have eaten it without the bread. The Fallow Deer entree was a work of art that tasted better than it looked. The potato rosti is the perfect potato side dish and a must try. The ice cream with caviar is an absolute must try as well. It sounds crazy but it was absolutely fantastic. The service was impeccable, easily the best service we’ve experienced in Atlanta in recent memory. Patrick was a tremendous server and the rest of the team provided the highest caliber service possible. I’d say this was a 100/10 dinner experience and we cannot wait to come back to try the different seasonal menus.“

“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.“

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

“Great restaurant and loved everything about this place.“

“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“

“All the glowing reviews here are true. We were traveling out of the country on short notice and realized my wife's passport was inside the six-month expiration window. From the security guard who greeted us to the last staff member we dealt with, everyone was polite, friendly, professional, and efficient. Our 9am appointment was finished before 9am (we arrived at 8:30), and the new passport was ready for pickup before noon the same day. An excellent experience!“

“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!“

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

“Overall the food was immaculate! I had a Korean steak and so jam packed with flavor and cooked amazing.
Was celebrating my birthday and was thankful to get their cookie brownie with some ice cream on top! Was very delicious.
I do wish our waiter stopped by often as we needed to put in orders.
She was just polite.
The atmosphere I guess was okay, i was a game day so of course it was temporarily busy, but the whole place smelled like fish! It was a little off putting but the food and my family made up for it.“

“My god if I died tomorrow and got asked what was the best black and blue burger of my life it would be Marlow’s. So good I went back 2 days in a row just to confirm. Yall killing it. Great service at the bar. Thank you. No photos because I ate it too fast.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Stayed for a business conference. And night one I was going through it, with my Nanny quitting on me last minute.
Decided to have dinner at Tosca Blu. And it was like the staff just KNEW!
Charles and Nancy didn’t just serve my Daughter and I, but they Adopted us. It’s like they could sense that a village was needed! On top of encouraging me, and ensuring that I GOT THIS. They showed my Daughter so much love during our stay, my daughter cried when it was time to leave.

Thank you for a wonderful week! And I know where I’m coming anytime we are in town!“

“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.“

“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 .“

“Wonderful experience at AC Hotel Downtown Atlanta. We have been traveling around the country for girls travel volleyball since 2018. This was our 18 year old daughter’s last tournament before going to college. Tad and DJ were amazing. Great hospitality and even better personalities! Well done!!“

“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.“

“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“

“I was able to reserve the patio to celebrate my 50th birthday. Zoe and Sarah did a great job serving 25 people. They constantly checked on us. The manager, Daniel was very helpful and even bought me a drink. The food came out pretty quickly and was amazing as usual. They really were top notch! Thank you for making my celebration amazing!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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.“

“I loved this place, the delicious food, if all the cocktails are like the one I select, they are very, very good. However, what I value most is the treatment received from Isabela, the recommendation of the dishes and the drink very well. I imagine that everyone here is as attentive and professional as she is a place of the best ratings that can be offered. She will go a long way in that industry.“

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

“Clearly one of Atlanta's best restaurants. Vassil was our server and he took great care of us. Every item was explained in detail before we ordered and when we were served. The food really is incredible. We shared many plates and everything was spectacular. The beef tenderloin piroshki appetizer and entrees were amazing. You can't get better service in Atlanta.“

“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!“
