• Continental • Buckhead

There was a time when dinner out meant pin curls and strong Manhattans. The music was up and the lights were low and the maître d’ had your table waiting. The Betty is that kind of place. Inspired by mid-century American supper clubs, The Betty pays tribute to the continental menus of yesteryear. But while the dishes may sound comfortingly familiar, Chef Thomas’s approach is decidedly 21st century. Pair your entrée with a timeless cocktail, a selection from our robust wine list or an Atlanta-crafted beer.
