    When traveling down south, the proper gentleman will quench his thirst and satiate his hunger at a steak house, perched on the second floor overlooking the street. Well we were not proper, but we decided to come anyway! It was a classy place with great service. The food was tasty, too. But it will be pricey and you will have small portions...still worth a visit if you are near the Ritz. Try the filet mignon and the house made peach sorbet! One of the most memorable aspects was hand selecting your own steak knife!

    Very disappointing overall. I had high hopes since it's advertised as fine dining. The place wasn't busy at 7pm on a Friday. The inside looked classy with dim lighting to set the mood. Unfortunately, service was a miss. Our server barely checked on us. Different staff dropped off our drinks and food so we never actually saw our server until the end of our meal. I ordered the bone-in veal, which was incredibly salty, from the breading to the cheese on top even the salad had actual salt grains I could chew. The tomato sauce on the side tasted like cheap canned pasta sauce. My friend's Antarctic salmon was a bit better but the prosciutto was dry and stale and didn't add anything. Maybe we picked the wrong dishes but the seasoning was so off that I couldn't enjoy my meal. Wouldn't recommend.

    We were staying at the hotel and decided to have a team dinner here. Overall a very nice experience. The server was very attentive made aure we had everything we needed. He was well aware of the menu and the wine list. The food was very good and the restaurant has an old school steakhouse vibe. If back in ATL I would definitely stop by again.

    Very disappointing, staying at hotel, came down for breakfast, after ordering, took 20 minutes to get orange juice for the kid. Took almost an hour to get food. The omelette is overcooked and but the eggs Benedict is pretty good. Just frustrating how slow the service is as you'd expect when you are paying 25 dollar for a omelette, the service should be on par.

    Halibut with black truffles
    Quin T.

    We stayed at The Ritz for New Years Eve and while our stay at the hotel was as wonderful as one would expect for The Ritz brand, this was one of the most unpleasant dinner experiences. We were excited to acquire a reservation to celebrate NYE because we did not want to go out and we thought that was a good sign. It started with a phone call asking about a corkage fee.. we were told we could bring our own bottles of wine and that the fee was $35/bottle. No big deal as we were happy that bringing our own bottles was not an issue. We also confirmed with the hostess before she left for the day. It is important to note that a member of my party wrote down the name of both people that he spoke to. We were seated in The Distillery which was nice and sort of private as another party was seated next to us. We provided our waiter with three bottles of wine and before he poured our glasses, a manager approached my friend that made the reservation and instead of speaking to him outside, he spoke to him at the table in front of everyone. He explained that not only are you not allowed to bring bottles that they currently have on their list, but the max is only two bottles. We were told no such thing and furthermore, how are we to know what bottles a restaurant has on their menu in advance? My friend has Ambassador Titanium status and handled the situation very well by not only providing both names of the employees that we talked to but that neither person told us there was a max of bottles or provided us with a prior wine list. After everything, the manager agreed to let it go, as we were able to provide names and times of said conversations. To say his approach was tacky is putting it mildly. After the uncomfortable situation, we started with a seafood tower, that was lacking in so many ways, I can't even go into detail. We ordered the halibut with truffles, seafood fettuccine and the tomahawk steak medium rare. The halibut was delicious, the pasta was too al dente, but the seafood was good and the tomahawk was downright awful. Upon first presentation, our waiter sat down a well done steak with no explanation of the sauces that accompanied the steak. We had a word with him and it was sent back. The replacement was a rare steak. It was cooked on the outside, but the inside was so red, it looked almost raw and with food poisoning was on our minds, it too was sent back and we declined anything replacement. We dared to dine here for breakfast for two days and that is the only reason AG is getting two stars instead of one star. The AG breakfast sandwich with chicken apple sausage instead of Tasso ham was simply delicious as was the cinnamon brioche French toast, and both salmon and classic eggs benedicts were also very good.

    Atlanta Peach
    Chad M.

    Exceptional experience. The atmosphere is classy but not pretentious, just a classic feel to it. Service was amazingly attentive but not intrusive--our server gave genuine recommendations that proved to be well-taken (no tack of just pushing some item they need to move like you unfortunately see at times). Of course, the fare is most important at any restaurant (though I'll definitely give or dock points for quality service and atmosphere). And the meal did not disappoint. Started with cocktails, including an exquisite smoked old fashioned prepared tableside--rich, deep flavor with the smoke giving the perfect accent as opposed to overpowering the drink. At our server's recommendation, I ordered the Berkshire pork chop special--one of the best chops I've had. Tender, well-seasoned, beautifully cooked...this needs to be on the menu. Most of my cohorts ordered steaks of various cuts (always a good move at a steakhouse...), and everyone raved about them. And don't skip dessert. I mean it, get one to go if you're out of room. We admittedly over-ordered a bit, but it was worth it. My person all favorite was the Atlanta Peach--a unique little dish, quite tasty (assuming peach flavor is something you're good with, of course). But all were excellent. I look forward to returning next time I'm in town.

    Filet Mignon Macaroni And Cheese
    chris k.

    Wow! Amazing food was excellent steak was cooked perfect. Hands down some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had, steak had great flavor. Sat at the bar and service was great, loved the inside very calm feeling and warm, food was amazing, would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

    Oxtail tortellini and filthy martini
    Maya K.

    I came here for a work dinner with a colleague and it did not disappoint! We wanted a place to sit outside since the weather was perfect and the hostess was very nice and accommodating. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options which are all very nice and there is a nice bar seating area as well near the entrance. I ordered a filthy martini and it was made very well! The bread service is delicious and comes with a variety of delicious options. I ordered the oxtail tortellini with a side of Brussels sprouts. The tortellini was filled with so much flavor and the Brussels were sweet and savory. I recommend this spot for anyone who is in the area and looking for some delicious food!

    Signature peach dessert
    Valie K.

    Tom was such a fabulous server from start to finish. The incredible hostess seated me in such a fantastic booth even though I was dining solo but plenty of space during an early dinner. Forever grateful to her!! Such a beautiful intimate setting and outstanding food and cocktails. Highly recommend the salmon and smoked old fashioned.

    Fire Roasted Tomato Soup
    Anthony G.

    This review is based on dinner and breakfast. Breakfast & Dinner- Both times- We were just a walk in. Hostess was not very friendly in the night. Hostess in the morning was great and friendly. Both our waiters morning and night were nice and very good. Place is classy and very nice. Steak- was great (New York Strip) Fries- awesome Chicken- was tasteless Sweet potato purée- good but less than a portion for a baby. Bread - sour bread is fresh and nice Tomato Soup- my wife and I both disagree- whether or not it was good. So we give it a 4 out of 5 Breakfast Wife did French toast- that was really good I did the buffet- Pancakes were tasteless Cafe con Leche- outstanding Pastries- delicious Eggs- were just ok Bacon- very good Potatoes- very tasting Cereal- not very good- tasted old I have no pictures of breakfast, but a decent experience.

    Caesar Salad
    Carling L.

    Great restaurant, lovely ambiance and service. Had the Caesar salad and added steak it was great and split French fries and the broccolini which were both good. The broccolini is not overdone and is served just with onions and seasoning which I liked. Ended with the warm brownie which was good but didn't blow me away. Would recommend this place

We were there celebrating our engagement, and they made it feel so special by decorating our table with rings and confetti to celebrate our love. Our server gave us so much attention and made the experience feel personal. Since it was our first time there, they took the time to walk us through some of the best items on and off the menu, and shared their favorite dishes. Everything was done with care. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was amazing, and the food was worth every dollar. The short rib was so tender, and the New York strip was seasoned to perfection and cooked medium well just how we like it. The twice-baked potato loaded with bacon, sour cream, chives, and cheese was delicious, and the mac and cheese was so good. I also appreciated that they allowed me to order it without the roasted saltine crackers. I can't wait to visit again!

We tried the La Piñata and the Smokey Old Fashioned, which arrived in a dramatic smoke dome--such a fun presentation. For our first bites, we ordered the Tostadas: handmade corn tostadas served with both red and green avocado sauces. They were fresh, vibrant, and a perfect start to the meal. Our main courses were equally impressive. The Short Rib with Mole Amarillo came with pickled habanero onions, rice, and plantains--rich, tender, and beautifully balanced. We also enjoyed the Arrachera, an outside skirt steak served with sautéed onions, chimichurri, rustic potatoes, and a bouquet salad. Every dish was plated beautifully and tasted exceptional. Our server, Dalia, made the experience even better. She was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive--always appearing at just the right moment, whether to refill our water or guide us through the menu.

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

Our daughter spent the first few minutes waving at the staff, and they genuinely lit up every time -- such a warm, welcoming vibe right from the jump. Starters We kicked things off with the she‑crab soup, and that's when we knew the meal was going to be special. Tons of rich crab flavor and chunks of crab. The crispy shrimp toast was another hit -- crunchy, savory, and a great pairing with the soup. We also ordered the Baker's Dozen oysters, chef's selection. All 13 were fresh, clean, and briny in the best way. Next up: the Spanish octopus, and honestly... top five octopus dish we've had. Cooked perfectly -- tender, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture. The salsa macha added just the right amount of heat, and the marcona almonds brought a great crunch with the cilantro, lime, and mint brightening everything up. What a beautifully composed dish. We finished with the Halibut and Lady peas. The Halibut was topped with lobster and served with a lobster butter sauce, chives, and capers. Rich, buttery, flaky, and perfectly cooked. The lady peas (fava beans, asparagus, and a generous mound of blue crab) were another standout. So much flavor, but everything complemented each other instead of competing. One of those sides you keep looking for more of when it's gone. --- Overall Every dish was thoughtful, balanced, and executed at a high level.

Over the years we've seen things decrease especially at the optimist. The hosts were great and they always give us great service but the food had been the lacking the last couple of services where the she crab soup lacked crab, the swordfish over cooked multiple times. This time in particular we ordered the whole lobster and was offered to have it taken out of the shell for us. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. When we got the lobster we got a full tail but one claw and no knuckles. When we addressed with the server, she argued with us that that's how a lobster is and that there could be more meat hidden on the plate. It felt like she thought we were there to just get more food by saying "so what do you want, more meat" but if we had it in the shell we would have received our full portion. The manager on duty tried to make it up to us by comping the lobster but it was more than that. After going back and forth with the server we just wanted the check to leave. The manager on duty insisted to give us the lobster and take it home. The server wasn't very polite and argued with us about the lobster. I wish I remembered the servers name With that said, the amount of money we have spent there over the years, it's unfortunate that that will be our last time going to the Optimist.
