From the time you hand the keys to the valet, to when you say "so long" to the maître de, the experience at Blue Ridge Grill is outstanding. They always accommodate my request for a special table, if one is available. The food is consistently great. This is an Atlanta institution, and I can't wait for the opportunity to return for my next special night.

Can't go wrong with butternut squash soup with cranberry. Caesar salad was good but not outstanding. Cod with spinach, mashed potatoes was excellent. Grilled vegetable sandwich was tasty. Tracy, our waitress, was a delight and attentive. View of river was beautiful.
