Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Sandy Springs

Our evening at Hal's was perfection. Day after Thanksgiving I was treating a family friend to an amazing Hal's steak dinner after he graduated boot camp. I noted in my Open table profile the reason for our dining with Hal's and they did not disappoint. Jeff our server explained the various menu offerings and suggested a few of his favorites and best sellers. We selected the 22oz bone in ribeye Pittsburgh style, the 12 oz filet and a 12 oz filet au poivre. I have never seen such thickly cut filets. We also selected several side dishes including brussell sprouts, the famous truffle mac-n-cheese and sauteed spinach. Way more food than we could possibly eat comfortably at one sitting. But necessary for a boot camp graduate who has been consuming 4000-500 calories daily in training. Jeff even surprised our graduate by bringing him a lava cake with ice cream. My guest was knocked out by the gesture and felt like a General instead of a Private. My compliments to Jeff for being so caring in honoring our new soldier. Also need to mention the host staff who so graciously provided a dinner jacket to get our soldier up to dress code so we could all enjoy an evening at Hal's. You saved our evening and I thank you very much. All-in-all our evening at Hal's was eventful in the very best ways and the entire staff we encountered are all top notch!

As always, service is above and beyond, the food excellent. They took extra care to exchange a meal that our 12 year old didn’t like for one that he loved. The Sandy Springs location is always an exceptional experience, thank you!

We had a fantastic meal and Michelle was our waitress. She always does an outstanding job. Excellent place to enjoy a fabulous steak. There are also fish entrees on the menu and pasta. There is something there for everyone. The fried lobster appetizer is fantastic. Thanks for another great evening. Tony & Chris Puri

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Ray's On the River, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel special, with each person wishing us a happy anniversary. Tyler and Raul provided excellent table service - attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was elegant and romantic, with beautiful views of the river. The food was outstanding, with every dish expertly prepared and full of flavor. Overall, Ray's provided the perfect setting for our celebration, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

As always, excellent environment, service and food! My favorite place!
