Known for "amazing steaks," exceptional service, and a "charming ambiance," it's an ideal spot for special occasions. While "dimly lit and lively," the attentive staff and standout dishes like bone-in ribeye ensure a memorable dining experience.

However, over the years the ambiance and grandeur has diminished for us. Hal’s is delicious, you expect it to be busy, but fighting to get to the host stand just to alert the staff that you’ve arrived for your reservation has gotten old. Luckily, we were seated away from the entryway hubbub at a requested window seat upstairs. Unfortunately, we were right next to the loudest, most obnoxious group of women enjoying a holiday party. The thick curtain did absolutely nothing and we had to yell at each other sitting merely inches apart. The food was delicious and the server was precious, acknowledging the birthday and pregnancy that we were celebrating. Even though our waters stayed empty and the Caesar salad we ordered never made it to the table, he did gift us with two special desserts and a cappuccino. We considered it a fair trade and didn’t mention it, but did feel that because we weren’t drinking we received less attention. The three other tables around us with wine and cocktails visibly got checked on more frequently. As far as special occasions go, we will start frequenting some of our other favorite fine dining restaurants around Atlanta. It seems we’ve grown out of the suited bro and screaming drunk women scene and are highly unlikely to return.

Are people still smoking cigarettes? WTF? I kind of get the cigars, but still not a pleasant environment and won't be back. Too many fantastic competitors without the cancer environment. I get that might be their scene, but it is not mine. Cheers.
