The "BEST" crab cakes in town. Also try the seared scallops, which will melt in your mouth. Great customer service combined with great food will have you talking about this hidden treasure over-and-over!

Love the atmosphere. You feel like you are at a cozy mountain retreat. The food is excellent. I had the filet with crab meat & bernaise. YUMMY!! The corn souffle is sooo good. If you like grits, this is the place to get them. I ended my meal with the apple tart. It came with cinnamon ice cream, so good! This is a great spot to take a date!

Pros: Atmosphere/Food

Cons: None

This is a very nice restaraunt. The food was great, the ambiance loud (very loud). We had a family dinner there on a Sunday afternoon. We reserved a wine room downstairs, where it was considerably less noisy, but oddly secluded (kind of creepy inside the velvet womb). The service was a bit too subserviant for our tastes, all very old school and old money southern superiority. HOWEVER, with all that said, it was a fabulous meal and a great time was had by all.

Pros: Lovely gentile southern dining

Cons: Main Dining is LOUD, very popular with the Buckhead set.

This was our first visit back to The Blue Ridge Grill in several years. As to why, we are still trying to figure it out. This is one special dining destination, that is charming and unique. It's a Ralph Lauren mountain lodge, with a cozy fireplace, and loaded with pure elegant Southern Charm. The menu is still somewhat rustic-southern-and gourmet, all at once. We split an app. of Iron Skillet Mussels. If you like Mussels, you will love them here. I had to get the Fried Oyster Salad, with a terrific made-in-house Ranch. My companion, ordered the Warm Goat Cheese Salad. We could have made a full course out of the app. and salads, with the wonderful bread. But with the great wine pairings our very nice server suggested, we were ready for the main event. I had the Horseradish Crusted Grouper w/Fennel and a Grapefruit Butter Sauce. I've never had sauce that unique, to drown each bite of Grouper in, terrific. My partner had the best Grilled Wild Scottich Salmon w/Artichoke Relish, we both raved about. It was the best entree, but mine was outstanding also. The Grille is so refined and relaxing, I did not want to even think about ending the night. Oh I forgot about the outstanding Squash Casserole, better than anywhere in the South, and Cucumber-Vidalia Onion Relish, is this home-made or what. Growing up in the South, Sunday Dinners were never like this. And neither was the Warm Bourbon Pecan Pie. Dare I say, I wanted to take a whole pie home. Come here, indulge, relax, and you will return.

Pros: Elegant Lodge Dining! Fireplace, Entree's, Wine List & Service!

Cons: Are you kidding!

I have been going to Blue Ridge Grill for at least a decade now, and I've never had a bad experience--quite the contrary: the meals are always excellent and the service is always exceptional. For my wife's birthday, they went out of their way to make her feel special, including putting decorations on the table. The greeters (one of whom is usually the service manager) are always polite and efficient. The patio is a great place to have a drink or two before dinner or just to have a few drinks without having dinner there. The portions are pretty good. The only drawback is that your bill will be rather hefty, but if you're going for a special occasion, can afford it, or someone else is paying, this is one of my favorite places, hands down, in Atlanta. It's cozy and wonderful.

Pros: consistent service and food, wonderful environment, attention to detail

Cons: pricey

This place is great! I have never had a bad meal here. The food is predictable and they have a great wine list. It's definitely not "happening" crowd but the food is worth it. A great place to take parents and grandparents. Also good for a nice relaxing dinner.

Pros: wine list, service, ambiance

Cons: none

When to Go

Though the bulk of the dinner crowd is composed of wheeling and dealing Ted Turner types, the restaurant warms up to families with its friendly (and less pricey) Sunday brunch.
