Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Druid Hills

This was my first time and I have to say I was blown away! I loved the atmosphere. My next visit I will request a private table. Nothing wrong with our seats. Just my own personal preference. My filet was so tender and juicy. A true dream dining experience!!

We decided to give our favorite breakfast/brunch spot a visit on a Saturday after thanksgiving which could have been a risk but to our luck it wasn’t busy at all. Our waitress was as very attentive and our food came out fresh. The starter biscuits and muffins were a hit per usual. The sweet tea needs some work because it tasted like water and let’s be honest we’re in the south we love our sweet tea. Also I want to shout out to Brian for checking in on us and making sure our food and service was going well.

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!

Spectacular! Magical evening dining at Marcel! From the moment we entered - from start to finish, impeccable service, attention to every detail! We were seated in the beautiful dining room, nice ambiance and decor, attractive lighting! Nick was our server and he was the best! Knowledgeable, articulate, funny, and always there at the right times! He made our dining experience so enjoyable! Salads were prepared well, Steaks, Chicken, Lobster Risotto all cooked to perfection! Nice presentation of sides - lots of Potato selections to choose from as well as other options to complement the Meal. Great Wine selection - Place is Fabulous!!!

Upscale Italian restaurant with a great vibe. Service was incredible. Appetizers, main course, and dessert were outstanding. Extensive wine list from all over the world. If you're looking for an upscale eating experience in Atlanta highly recommend.
