The Scene – Art deco meets the French Quarter in the Atlanta Grill, housed in the downtown Ritz-Carlton. Vintage black-and-white photographs of the city commingle with tony booths and richly colored wall murals. The wrought-iron veranda, bedecked with flickering lanterns, is perfect for watching the crowds below on Peachtree Street. – – The Food – On this menu of New Southern offerings, gems include a flavorful gumbo; a lively salad of blue cheese, spiced pecans and grapes; and a delicate striped bass paired with elegant fingerling potatoes. Stick with simpler entrees,…

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
The extravagant Sunday brunch, which includes omelette, waffle and French toast stations, is a favorite with locals.
The Extras:
Grab a seat at the bar and take in the sounds of live jazz while eating your meal.
Know Before You Go:
The Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead is much more refined than its downtown cousin, and features the award-winning Dining Room with Chef Bruno Menard.
Where to Sit:
Reserve the "Cheater's Booth," an intimate setting that can be curtained off for privacy.

Form over substance - Good if you hate food

by ebtUSA

The best one can charitably say is, the Music was good and the presentation was too. The service, while friendly was slow and the management was ineffectual and inexperienced.

We chose the venue for our wedding anniversary and are sorry that we did. My wife had the Creamy Lobster Salad, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Buttermilk Dressing which while it looked beautiful, was not creamy and tasted from a light vinegar used on their shredded cucumbers. No sauce came for the fried green tomatoes and the lobster was rubbery. I had the She=Crab soup with peppered sherry which had the pepper but no sherry. It was sub=par Campbell’s soup with what might have been a shred or two of crab meat.

Now came the really bad stuff. My wife’s Redfish was cooler than room temperature, devoid of any sauce and drier than North Texas, this summer. We sent it back for a simple veggie plate. My filet looked good as it was perfectly colored to my order, but it was tough and flavorless. It did come with a red wine reduction sauce that was room temperature, but tasty and in fact was my wife’s dinner, a fork full of my potato and some sauce. When we informed them of her cold dry fish, they took her order for the veggie plate and she and I waited 15 minutes for her veggies which, of course made my steak and baked potato cold and greasy. It would not be gallant for a gentleman, on his anniversary to eat while his wife waited, and waited and waited. No offer was made to replace both meals at the same time as is befitting of a brand like the Ritz-Carlton or even Wendy’s.

Sadly, when my wife’s replacement dinner arrived, it too was cold. The Mac& Cheese was fresh Kraft’s, though. I asked the Captain/Maître for fresh hot wine reduction sauce to try and salvage my cold steak and he brought out a cold bowl of it. The Maître D apologized and told us to save room for dessert on the house. The Ice Cream Sundae arrived 15 minutes after ordered and thankfully, it too was cold. At the end, over coffee, the Maître D informed us that the “Food & Beverage Director” was picking up the tab. Even if true, one would expect that the Maître D to either take that responsibility or at least give the impression that he had it rather than an admission that he was little more than a busboy in a business suit.

by jamesperezt20

This hotel is quite good. The staff is energetic and always have a great attidue. I have stayed here twice before and their room service was quite satisfactory both times. The room was clean and well stocked. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
