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.

Truly memorable family birthday meal. Chi-chi made everything absolutely wonderful. All of our dishes were great, but the salmon, trout and catfish were the favorites. I had the Beef cheek -loved it. The fingerling potatoes (side) had an unusual spice and I couldn’t eat those…will opt for the mashed golden potatoes or rice next time. Frigid temps tonight & seating near the windows was a bit cold. Overall, Thank you for your excellent service!! It made my birthday and my night !!
