My book club and I were in town for BRBF, and I really enjoyed our visit. Ivan, Junior, and our server, Jay, were all incredibly welcoming and accommodating, which made for a great experience from start to finish. I ordered the off-menu short rib hash, and it was packed with flavor. I also treated myself to a creamier-style espresso martini, which was smooth and delicious. The food and drinks were excellent, but what truly stood out was the service. Ivan, Junior, and Jay were all attentive, friendly, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. It's always a pleasure when the hospitality matches the quality of the food. I would definitely recommend and look forward to returning. I would revisit when in ATL again.
By George, located in the lobby of the Candler Hotel in downtown Atlanta, was an absolutely fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant but still welcoming, making it perfect for both a special night out or a relaxed dinner in the city. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The shrimp and grits were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the rigatoni mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. To top it all off, the caramel bread pudding was phenomenal It was easily one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time. Service truly elevated the experience as well. Our server, Tina, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely kind and considerate throughout the meal. She made excellent recommendations and ensured everything was perfect from beginning to end. Overall, By George delivers incredible food, beautiful ambiance, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone dining in downtown Atlanta.

The food was horrible. I got the zatar chicken pasta. The sauce and pasta had no flavor and the chicken looked boiled. Boyfriend got the lamb porterhouse. He did not like it. He said the meat was purple and nothing but bone. Our server was excellent and made great drink recommendations. I was not happy that I was charged a 20% gratuity fee. I always tip, especially for a restaurant like this. I like to leave a tip on my own terms. The chocolate cake was excellent. It says a lot about food quality when you spend $171 and the best thing you ate were $10 cornbread muffins.
The food was not as good as I was expecting from the reviews and considering it’s a pretty pricey restaurant. I got the pan seared salmon which comes with broccolini and whipped potatoes and two of the buttermilk cornbread muffins. It was $50 after tax and tip, so definitely not cheap. The salmon was cooked well and was nice and crispy on the outside, but it didn’t have much flavor. The broccolini and mashed potatoes were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I was excited for the cornbread because it seemed like a must-try for this place from what I read on the reviews. I was disappointed because they were sub-par in my opinion- I think there was too much flour because so they were very heavy, dense and bland. I didn’t get the light texture and sweetness that I wanted. The service was very good though and it’s a pretty restaurant! Unfortunately, just not for me food wise and I wish I could’ve saved my money.
We had an amazing experience at By George in Atlanta. Our group of 20 enjoyed a large table in a stunning, beautifully detailed space perfect for a special night out. The food was exceptional: the cornbread was incredible, tomato bisque creamy and smooth, and my salmon cooked to perfection with standout broccolini. Chocolate cake for dessert was unforgettable! For anyone looking for one of the best dining experiences in Atlanta, By George is highly recommended.
