The perfect place for a celebratory dinner! Highly recommend the cellar for a more intimate dining experience. Our server was so friendly, professional, and helpful. The meat was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. Do yourself a favor and dine here!

From start to finish, our experience at Kevin Rathbun Steak was nothing short of amazing. The food was phenomenal—every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Wagyu short rib appetizer was incredibly tender and melted in our mouths, while the bone marrow was rich, buttery, and a first-time treat that did not disappoint. The Wagyu ribeye was perfectly cooked, and the scallops were a hit—perfectly seared and bursting with flavor. The creamed corn is an absolute must-try—so creamy and delicious! Beyond the incredible food, the service was outstanding. Our host was warm and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and check on us throughout the night. His attentiveness truly elevated our experience. My boyfriend had a fantastic birthday dinner, and this restaurant was worth every penny.

Very nice steakhouse. Expensive but good food. It was our anniversary and they comped our dessert which I appreciate. We had half salads, the 12 oz filets, brussle sprouts, and broccoli. The salads were more than enough. The filets were cooked exactly as we ordered(med-rare). The sides were good. Not exceptional. I had the brownie layer cake and my wife had the peanut butter cream pie. The layer cake was too rich for me. My wife loved the pie. It was a nice atmosphere. Dark and quiet. We arrived when the opened at 5. It was a little louder by the time we were leaving but it was still quiet enough to have a normal conversation.

Last week, we celebrated a cousins birthday with a dinner at Kevin Rathbun steakhouse in Atlanta. After seeing Kevin Rathbun on Good Day Atlanta over the years, I was looking forward to finally getting the Kevin Rathbun experience by eating in his restaurant. The place was packed. Our server was Tim he was good. We were a party of 9 and we ordered a variety of dishes. The bottom line is short rib appetizer, and the lobster fritters were very good. The salmon was good and the burger was good. The chopped salad was very good. The Ribeye was very tender and good. So everything we ate was either good or very good, but I was hoping for something being amazing, but that didn't happen, but we enjoyed our Rathbun experience and maybe we'll do it again one day.

Can't wait to go back. 10 out of 10! We had Leighanne as our server, she truly elevated our experience even more with her stellar service. The food was absolutely amazing and well worth the price. The hosts and bartenders did an amazing job as well

I had been craving steak for awhile and decided to check this place out! The steakhouse is located at the end of a street with complimentary valet parking so it's easy to get in then easy to get out. Once inside, I was seated quickly for my early dinner. I knew, as I was celebrating a special occasion, I wanted to try a little bit of everything so I made sure to mix it up! With the waitress being very attentive throughout the evening, by making her recommendations and mentioning some of her favorites, I truly appreciated the excellent service. I ended up trying the foie gras, oysters, the seafood chowder (which was the soup of the day), the dry aged rib-eye, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. As I was in a small party, another plus is they offered half size portions for the sides. So if you wanted to try a smaller size of the sides instead of ordering the normal size, it works! Although my service was excellent, unfortunately my meal was less than adequate. The bread was delicious and had great flavor! I found the foie gras to be a tad salty and thought it was missing something on that plate. Now originally, it comes made with peanut butter and a peach sauce, but as I have a peanut allergy, mine came without. Although this element was missing on the plate, I still found the dish to be lackluster compared to other foie gras I've tried. The oysters were good but the size of the sauces it came with was too large! I mean, I love when I get a little extra of anything but those oysters were super tiny compared to the sizes of the sauces! It was clear I would have a ton left over. At least make the size of the sauce containers be comparable to the size of the oysters. That seafood chowder was not merely in close consideration of what a chowder should look or feel like! I was expecting a thick chowder soup full of bold flavors and flavorful seafood but instead, I got a watery tasteless soup with no seasoning and over cooked seafood! I mean as soon as I picked up the soup in my spoon, it was too thin! I was disappointed with this dish and regretted even ordering it! Not even the fresh cracked black pepper saved that dish. I had my steak medium rare oscar style, but that hollandaise sauce was a tad salty for me! I love me a hollandaise sauce on my steak, but that sauce was not my favorite and I could tell between the texture and flavor, it was missing something. Then when eaten with the meat, it was just blah. When I ate the meat on its own, I couldn't taste the dry age. It was just a big hunk of meat that had no seasoning added to it before it was cooked. The cook on the steak was perfect, but each flavor component fell flat for me. Overall, I felt my plate needed something to bring the entire thing together. I loved the mashed potatoes! The creamy texture was perfect and the flavor was just right. As for the creamed spinach, I've had better. As it was a special occasion, I received a free dessert of my choice! I ended up getting the bread pudding, which was ok. The bourbon ice cream was great, but I found the bread pudding itself was dry! The praline sauce on top covered the dry bread pudding, which was great, but as I ate the dessert, I could clearly see this sauce covered up the boo boo underneath. If the bread pudding itself was moist, the sauce would have complimented it but unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I did end up getting some items to go, and the waitress ended up adding a free side, which I appreciated! I don't mind spending money on food, but for an expensive meal, my food should be perfect! My food clearly was not and I've been to better steakhouses for the price. If less salt was used and if every component on the dish had more thought put into it, the meal could have been remarkable. Great vibe and decor, but not for the prices.

What a wonderful experience we had for dinner last night. There were 5 of us! The service was good. The restaurant was easy to get to and get in. By 6:30 it was already a packed house of people but the food came out super quick. (The bread pudding was my favorite all star dish of the night) we would go back

Our initial visit to Kevin Rathbun Steak didn’t meet our expectations. However, after the manager reached out and invited us back, our perspective completely changed. The service was impeccable, the ambiance sophisticated, and the food exceptional. Now, we understand why this establishment has been a staple in Atlanta for so long. It’s truly one of the city’s premier steakhouses. We appreciate the team’s dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience. Thank you for turning our experience around!
