Hal's is ALWAYS excellent. The preparation, the professionalism of the servers, everything. Open table allowed a last-minute decision to be a white tablecloth evening with Mushroom and artichoke Snapper, Sea Bass, and the most fantastic Tomato/Onion Salad I have ever had. Take rideshare if you have cocktails because Hal's is not a lightweight drink at the bar. A+ from a native Atlantan.
