What People Are Saying About Bone's Restaurant

Featured Review

Jonathan Baker

Contributor

In Short – Bone's large red sign has announced its presence at the hectic intersection of Peachtree and Piedmont for three decades and it remains Atlanta’s standard-bearing steakhouse. Red leather and crisp white linen set the tone in this gentleman's temple, and not surprisingly, Bone’s draws a masculine, expense-happy business crowd. Servers are professional and address you by last name while the food is executed to the same high standard. Iceberg wedges come topped with glorious blue and bacon crumbles still hot from the fryer, lobster bisque gets a generous sherry topping and grit…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Dining with a group? Request one of the restaurant's handsomely decorated private rooms.
What to Drink:
Bone's has one of the most accomplished and encyclopedic wine lists in town--more than 500 bottles. There's something laudable in every price range for every taste. If you're a regular, they'll even store your prized wines for you.
Where to Sit:
Request the restaurant's back room, plastered with pictures and portraits of man's best friend.

  1. Bones in a very unique restaurant in that there are four rather large and elaborate section of the restaurant: the bar, family & business dining, romantic dining and group dining.
  2. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service, and even better food!
  3. We had a semi-private romantic room, a table decorated with sparkly stars and ribbons, and an extremely friendly staff to welcome us.
  4. The place is a little small and crowded but the location is great and the food, well the steak and lamb are out of this world.
  5. And I loved the cosy, comfortable dining rooms.
  6. thought the atmosphere was very cozy and romantic (we were tucked away in a corner) and the service was excellent.

  12. We've always had wonderful service as well, and the atmosphere is classy, without being too stuffy - its a great treat to get a little dressed up, but not have to worry about using the wrong fork!
  13. Finally, the atmosphere inside was horrible.
  14. Valet was quick, bathrooms were outdated & only 2 stalls, server was pushy, decor was boring & tacky, food was brought out quick, alcohol & water are chooses of beverages.

Total waste!

by pslloyd82

I've always wanted to eat at Bones. It does have such an allure to it and is an Atlanta institution. I will start off saying the service was amazing. The best Ive ever had. However the decor is old and depressing, the food is over priced and over rated.I could not wait to get the bill and get out of the place as my mom whispered in my ear "I see dead people!!!!" LOL. Rathbuns Chops or Ruths Chris are way better. They do have a $10 cork fee tho!!

Best Steaks in the ATL

by gibbers

There is a reason this place has over a 100 favorable reviews, it is hands down the best steakhouse in Atlanta. Yes it is expensive, but if you want good beef, this is the place to go, not the Ruth's C stuff.
