Top notch service. Our server, Vangel, created an incredible environment, and was very professional. Best experience at a steakhouse, and we were taken care of very well. Our food came out a little late, and they took care of our entire meal!! It was not necessary but the manager placed a high importance on creating a good experience. 10/10 would return, they made an anniversary very special. They brought out candles and rose petals as well as continually wishing us well. They also offered to take our photo. This type of experience and kindness is not seen very often, these days. Thank you to our host Jenifer, server vangel, manager, and the other man who helped make it a perfect night.

We stayed at The Ritz for New Years Eve and while our stay at the hotel was as wonderful as one would expect for The Ritz brand, this was one of the most unpleasant dinner experiences. We were excited to acquire a reservation to celebrate NYE because we did not want to go out and we thought that was a good sign. It started with a phone call asking about a corkage fee.. we were told we could bring our own bottles of wine and that the fee was $35/bottle. No big deal as we were happy that bringing our own bottles was not an issue. We also confirmed with the hostess before she left for the day. It is important to note that a member of my party wrote down the name of both people that he spoke to. We were seated in The Distillery which was nice and sort of private as another party was seated next to us. We provided our waiter with three bottles of wine and before he poured our glasses, a manager approached my friend that made the reservation and instead of speaking to him outside, he spoke to him at the table in front of everyone. He explained that not only are you not allowed to bring bottles that they currently have on their list, but the max is only two bottles. We were told no such thing and furthermore, how are we to know what bottles a restaurant has on their menu in advance? My friend has Ambassador Titanium status and handled the situation very well by not only providing both names of the employees that we talked to but that neither person told us there was a max of bottles or provided us with a prior wine list. After everything, the manager agreed to let it go, as we were able to provide names and times of said conversations. To say his approach was tacky is putting it mildly. After the uncomfortable situation, we started with a seafood tower, that was lacking in so many ways, I can't even go into detail. We ordered the halibut with truffles, seafood fettuccine and the tomahawk steak medium rare. The halibut was delicious, the pasta was too al dente, but the seafood was good and the tomahawk was downright awful. Upon first presentation, our waiter sat down a well done steak with no explanation of the sauces that accompanied the steak. We had a word with him and it was sent back. The replacement was a rare steak. It was cooked on the outside, but the inside was so red, it looked almost raw and with food poisoning was on our minds, it too was sent back and we declined anything replacement. We dared to dine here for breakfast for two days and that is the only reason AG is getting two stars instead of one star. The AG breakfast sandwich with chicken apple sausage instead of Tasso ham was simply delicious as was the cinnamon brioche French toast, and both salmon and classic eggs benedicts were also very good.

We always take our daughter somewhere new for her birthday so that she gets to experience different states, culture and travel. This year we traveled to Atlanta. We started looking at places for her birthday meal and she fell in love with the desserts! I booked our meal, left a general message that it was our daughter’s 13th birthday and she was excited to dine at their restaurant. We arrived early but the hostess already knew our names and addressed us with a wonderful welcome. She walked us to our table and explained that the restaurant had reserved their VIP booth for her. It was very nice and offered such an elevation on the night. We had absolutely the best waiter who had the bar staff create a mock tail for my daughter called the “Cinderella”. It was certainly fit for our little lady! She loved it. My wife had a house whiskey sour and I had the smoked old fashion. I’m a huge fan of whistle pig and they had a single barrel that they curated with the distillery. Both were wonderful. We found the meatballs starter really delicious and then marched onto our main course. My wife had the lamb. It was so good that she was picking up the lamb and eating straight off the bone. Clean plate club for her! I had the aged strip. The cook was perfect, the season was spot on. My daughter had the seafood Alfredo and she ate everything to include the tomato’s. That’s high praise because she is a little picky and not a fan of tomato. We finished off with the desserts. WOW factor!! I had the Limoncello and it was perfect. Not too sweet, not too tart and the tart crust was just hard enough to give it great texture. My wife had the mocha affogato which was perfectly balanced. But, the show piece was my daughter’s dessert The “Atlanta Peach”. A work of art on a plate. The “peach” was beautifully crafted with a sinful inside. Somehow my daughter let me have a small bite and I was absolutely lucky that she did! What an amazing overall experience. Thank you to all of the staff.

My wife, my daughter, and I all stayed at the Ritz Carleton this weekend. We went to breakfast and dinner here multiple times. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. In a world where fine dining and food is everywhere, the difference is made in the service and people that work there. At the beginning of our trip, we dealt with Jennifer at the front stand. She is beautiful, out going, and kind. She was flexible with my family, friendly, and made sure to get us taken care of. We had breakfast here on the first day, the service and server were so kind and friendly. Food was A+, as expected. We ate dinner here twice. The first night, we were in a bit of a rush, so things didn’t go perfectly for us. Anthony, in management is a professional, and made sure that we got take taken care of. I can’t say enough good about him, he takes pride in his restaurant, and you can tell he really cares about his customers. We chose to come back the next night, as our schedule wasn’t so hectic. I spoke with Ella at the front reservation desk, and she made sure that we would have a reservation. These guys roll out the red carpet. Tom was our server on our last night, I would say they gave us their best server, but everyone we dealt with here was so kind and friendly. He was very professional, gave us amazing recommendations, and made us feel like family. The meal was A+, and the dessert was even better. Anthony was on point as well, and made sure our meal was perfect. Amazing team, amazing food, and friendly service. I recommend the Waygu meatball appetizer, the filet steak, and brownie ice cream for dessert. Thanks again for giving us the VIP experience, and treating us like family, all the way from Utah.

Amazing experience at AG Ritz Carlton! The team got us a private room for our dinner which gave a perfect ambiance. The service was on point and couldn’t be nicer. The food was amazingly delicious, we shared a few appetisers and would recommend the meatballs with the slices of bread. Same for dessert, we shared and would recommend the toffee cake. The ritz chocolate cake was too heavy but tasty.

The ribeye was amazing, the service was excellent, the Atlanta Peach dessert was a perfect blend of refreshing and rich peach flavor while still remaining light. It was a great way to end a fabulous meal. The black croutons in the Cesar salad aesthetically threw me off a little bit but tasted fine. The Cesar dressing also has the texture of the anchovies in it and I’m not personally a fan of that. The service was absolutely out of this world. Staff were attentive, kind, and accommodating when we walked in without a reservation on a Thursday evening.

Located inside the Ritz-Carlton. Valet parking is validated if you're just coming for dinner. Service was AMAZING from the hostess to the server. The food tasted great, only one complaint was the portion sizes. The pasta was a very small portion for the cost. Side of brussels we ordered was also small. For what we're paying, quantity of food isn't measuable. Presentation was beautiful. Extremely expensive for a dinner & we didn't even have any left overs to enjoy later. We did drinks, 2 apps, 2 meals and a side it was well over $300. Although the food was amazing, I can't justify this restaurant as a "regular" for us. I'd recommend this for a SUPER special occasion (then grab a meal before or after you come, you'll need it)

Today we were celebrating our anniversary so we decided to go to Atlanta Gill and it was the best decision! Everything was amazing, from beginning to end. The food, the service, the drinks, the dessert, everything! I would Highly recommend this place! If you decide to go there ask for Kiflom to be your server, he will make sure you have the best experience as he did with us! This is obviously my favorite place in Atlanta ♥️
