Husband and I came for a date night and sat in the speakeasy. We started off with the arancini. For our entree, we both got the spinalis and shared the Bolognese pasta. Lastly, for dessert, we got the lemon pudding cake. Overall, the food was tasty, but the lemon dessert was far too tart. The server should've probably gave us a heads up. I would try the tiramisu over it. Only reason I gave them four stars outside of the dessert is because of the service. Usually when I go to a restaurant like this service is personable and attentive. It felt like entire time they're just trying to upsell us and also rush our meal. It's unfortunate because it is a lovely restaurant with a nice menu. Our server definitely needed to take a breath and not try to be so obvious that they're up selling us. read more

One of the best restaurants in Atlanta. This place has the same elegant but unpretentious vibe that Kevin Rathbun Steak does, but a wider menu selection. As I've come to expect from all of Kevin Rathbun's restaurants, the wine selection is great and pours are generous, and you will always leave full. This is our go-to spot for date nights and celebrations. The menu has a great range of options- a wide pasta selection for me, and amazing steak for my husband. Our favorites: start with burrata (the jam and pistachios are interesting but not weird and pair well), the papardelle pasta for me, the shell steak for my husband (the espresso finish is insanely good), and split a couple desserts. They recently had bread pudding on the dessert menu which might have been a holiday special- it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The servers always make us feel welcome but aren't fussy- and you know it's a great spot because many of the staff have been there for years and years. If you're looking for a laid-back hidden gem with amazing food and a great vibe, this spot is for you! read more

Ugh. Love Kevin Rathbun so absolutely hate giving this place a bad review. We had reservations the day before by accident so I showed up without an actual reservation. They accommodated us immediately. So makes it even harder to say something not great. The vibes here are great so we were excited to come. Sat down and took us 30 minutes just to get a drink order. Drinks were really good. So no hate there. Another 15 to even order food. Service, frankly, was awful. Instead of telling us they sold out of the special, our server didn't say anything until I ordered. Pivoted to a pasta and unfortunately both absolutely sucked. Meatballs were dry and tasted simply like hamburger Balls. And both me and my date said the pasta tasted like Chef Boyardee. I know my make Kevin can make an amazing steak and love his other restaurant so maybe that's his thing. But honestly the service was so incredibly bad and the food was not great I have to give it a 2 stars and that's only because vibes were good and drinks were good. I'd try again if I wanted steak. But absolutely no pasta. That's my review. read more

The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly. Our waitress was super attentive and provided great service. The restaurant is a nice vibe for a dinner out. We enjoyed our experience. read more

Great steak/pasta place. Went there with a group for dinner. Sat in the bar for a bit for drinks, great atmosphere and excellent drinks. We got to our table and the service was fantastic. Our server walked us through the menu and gave us time to look through it before taking the order. We tried three different apps; the Pork Belly, tuna, Burrata. All of them were excellent. I got the Shell Steak for my entree and it had great flavor. Everyone else in the group raved about their meal. We split a number of sides; Brussels sprouts, fingerling potatoes, sweet potatoes and eggplant fries. I hate eggplant and loved the eggplant fries. All of the other sides were great too. We split four desserts and all were wonderful. This is a must try place! read more

KR SteakBar - Shell Steak* 8 Oz - Steakhouses Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

KR Steakbar remains one of our absolute favorites. This Italian steakhouse hits the mark for any occasion--whether it's a casual bite at the bar, a family dinner, or a more exclusive, private evening. The menu delivers across the board: Italian classics, beautifully cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and flavorful veggie dishes. We especially love the patio when the weather's right--it's such a gem. While my husband and I go as often as we can, this was our first time bringing my dad and stepmom, and they were big fans, though I do have some recommendations on a few dishes... The spinalis cut of steak is a must--easily the best in Atlanta, in our opinion. Always perfectly cooked and served with a whole grilled garlic clove and a lemon half. New items we tried this visit: * Wagyu carpaccio - Fantastic flavor, though the thin slices could use a better utensil for easier handling. * Tuna appetizer - Nice idea, but we'd have preferred more cucumber and brightness, and less of the hummus base. Flavor profile was pretty flat. * Trout entrée - A bit overcooked, and the arugula beet salad was soggy, but it was still enjoyable overall. * Classic basil pasta & cacio e pepe - As always, both were absolute home runs. Shoutout to our waitress--she was incredible. I wish I'd caught her name, but she was young with gorgeous red curly hair. Truly one of the best servers we've had anywhere. read more

Dinner at KR Steakbar was wonderful! I made reservations previously on Resy. The restaurant is located in the Peachtree Hills neighborhood in Buckhead. The restaurant itself is really sleek with dark lighting. There were lots of diners for a Thursday which was a great sign. They offer valet parking. The waitress introduced herself almost immediately after we were seated. She went over the specials for the evening and asked if we had any questions. I chose the "Appleasure to Meet You" cocktail which was delicious. It consisted of apple infused tequila, botanicals and sherry. We shared a Caesar salad before our entrees arrived. I ordered the spinalis and my husband chose the 20 oz. Ribeye. We shared the pappardelle and eggplant fries. Everything was great, but the spinalis was phenomenal! It's on of the best steaks I've had. The egg plant fries were unique and were dusted with powdered sugar. I ended the night the fabulous brown sugar cheesecake. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend coming here for a date night or special night out. Each staff member that we encountered were extremely welcoming and friendly. read more

Truly an incredible experience with dim lighting and delectable dishes. Setting: There's both an open-kitchen and speakeasy in the back. My partner chose this spot for the open-kitchen, but we got seated in the speakeasy. No complaints though, it was an intimate vibe! Service: Our waiter was kind, meticulous, and very efficient. Food: We ordered the arancini, trumpet mushrooms, and the filets (6/8 oz). All of them were well-flavored and paired nicely. read more

Let's meat up @ one of the best Steakhouses in Atlanta. @krsteakbar by @chefkevinrathbun is a hidden gem tucked in Buckhead. It's an Italian Steakhouse w/ a cozy & chic ambiance. There's complimentary valet, just make sure to tip themBeautiful outdoor garden patio, I just love the vibes here. It was packed even on a Tuesday's night lol. Shoutout to Ariel for taking great care of us. I highly recommend to get the Wagyu Carpaccio & the Spinalis. The Spinalis with roasted garlic & balsamic was cooked to perfection. Just on the other side of the kitchen lies a hidden speakeasy "The Bureau" but it's only open on the weekend. I love speakeasies so def will be back to check it out (: read more

Traveling Chef, in Atlanta for two months, and my hotel was two miles from this place. Came in one night after looking for a good steakhouse that wasn't Ruth's (you know who), and the like. this place knocked my socks off. from the cocktail menu, which was fantastic, to the upscale, yet unpretentious atmosphere, it was awesome. And the food........ best meal I've had ATL, hands down. The filet was unbelievably tender, and overperfectly cooked. but the Brussels with lemon preserves and calabrese... damn I wish I had thought of that. Five @!?$ing stars yall, Chef Jessica Gamble, your a monster!! keep it up!!! Thanks for truly masterful meal, and next time I'm in Atlanta, I'll be back. Chef Ben. read more

I'm a big Kevin Rathbun fan (he's featured in a four part set of Christopher M oil paintings depicting chefs in our dining room), and usually I go to Rathbun's Steaks after golf with friends and Anthony takes great care of us, but with Eastlake being closed, I've been jonesing for Kevin's steaks closer to home, so we've started back to KR Steakbar. I'd forgotten how much I love this place. The inside is contemporary and intimate, but also very comfortable. Patrick has been taking care of us, and he's highly attentive and his pacing is fantastic. We come here for the steaks, but it's good to know that there is a whole line up of Italian pasta dishes for those who don't want a steak. The house style is Pittsburgh, which suits me great. While they have many great cuts, I come here specifically for the Spinalis, which is the best I've had. The bar is also good, and there are some interesting variations. We brought our daughter last time (age 10) and the bartender whipped up some really unique mocktail for her that our daughter said was the best ever! Strongly recommend. read more

Was very disappointed with this place for my meal. My partner enjoyed his meal. I had a hard time finding something I could eat. I don't eat meat and they do not have a big seafood options. The pasta was not the best and I ended up sending the food back. The dessert was pretty good. The service was pretty slow. It was a Tuesday night and wasn't that busy. Wish they had more options on the menu. They do offer valet parking for a fee and self parking for free. Nice clean bar feel. Would recommend for steak lovers only. read more

We came for dinner for the husband's birthday. It exceeded our expectations! We ordered the Pork Belly app- WOW. Incredibly delicious. We had the ribeye- so tender & the balsamic glaze was spot on; our sides were the fingerling potatoes- really delicious, and the husband got the eggplant fries. I didn't try them- I'm not a fan of eggplant, but he liked them. Our server brought him a dessert-a citrus panna cotta with an orange geleè- and a little citrus melt away cookie & piece of chocolate on top.despite being stuffed, we ate it! Service was GREAT. Our server was friendly & attentive. The space is nice- a little loud, but not an issue. Free valet parking? Added bonus. I know we will be back! read more

This is my second time to KR SteakBar and was a retirement celebration for 12 people. We got seated in the center, curtained area which created an intimate setting for a group dinner. Mo was our server and he and all his many helpers were very attentive to our group of indecisive orderers. The good was outstanding, and we tried just about every food group on the menu...pasta, steak, fish...no disappointments! Of course nobody thought they wanted desserts, but about two-thirds of us ordered anyway a broad variety, then shared them. Hands down winner was the double chocolate bread pudding. A great experience that I would repeat all over again. read more

Had a great first dinner at KR SteakBar! Ambience was very nice if boisterous on a Saturday night, and the service was excellent. Romaine salad and arancini starters, as well as scallops and spaghetti nero mains were all outstanding. The hard to find Black Manhattan cocktail was world-class! We will return soon to further explore the menu! read more

The service was amazing! The food was delicious everything I had. Even ventured out and tried something very different from my norm but still delicious. We sat in the speakeasy which had a quieter vibe than the main dining room. The ambiance of that room could be considered romantic if in a date. read more

This place was very dark and very noisy. I didn't know you had to make reservations to eat here (my mistake) so when we arrived, the hostess told us we couldn't be seated. All of a sudden, a cancellation popped up and her entire mood and attitude shifted. It went from "you're not good enough to be here" to "let me show you your table" in 0.5 seconds. The tables were very small and the acoustics in the place were awful. I could not have a conversation without yelling. Not to mention, we got a rocky table upon sitting down. So much to the point we couldn't lean our elbows on the table without spilling the water. We informed our waitress, who attempted to fix it. Then, another waiter saw her struggling so he came over to help. You know what his first words to us were? "I saw your table shaking when you first sat down." So they knew they had a problem and declined to fix it until we brought it to their attention. Plus, as he tried to fix it, which was rocking violently, he managed to spill our water glasses all over the table. The waitress had to come back and clean up his mess. The food was good. I did enjoy our entrees but I would say that a $20-30 dish should come with a side. Instead, we paid $20-30 for each entree and an extra $12 for our side of Brussels sprouts. The bread was also really good. You can also see from the photo attached how dark the restaurant was- I had to use my phone flashlight to be able to read the menu. Even though the food was a good experience, the service was not. From the hostess giving us the stink eye upon entering to a waiter who saw we had a problem, didn't fix it, and when he did fix it managed to spill water all over our table, I was not bowled over with confidence. I am unsure if I would come back. Especially with prices like that, I'm not sure it's worth it. Also parking was difficult. There is very little street/parking lot parking, otherwise you have to do valet parking. read more

KR SteakBar - Steakhouses Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

KR Steakbar still has solid service and dependable food, especially the pastas, although I wish they updated the menu more often. We enjoyed the tonnarelli cacio e pepe and the pappardelle with pork & beef bolognese- even if the cacio e pepe sauce was reminiscent of biscuits and gravy sauce. It would be great to have a more reasonably priced Chardonnay instead of the $18 one, but service was great- servers who weren't even in our section engaged with me and my son. Unfortunately our desserts in the speakeasy took a complete nosedive. The butterscotch bread pudding was absolutely covered in pumpkin seeds, and the accompanying gelato chalky. Even worse was the pretty much inedible chai creme brulee that tasted like nothing but nutmeg. We literally took two small tasting bites and pushed the dish away. Surprisingly our server was completely oblivious to our practically uneaten desserts. We would return to KR at some point, but not for the speakeasy and definitely not for dessert. read more

KR SteakBar - Bolognese and a happy camper! - Steakhouses Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

What an absolute 5-star dining experience! I went with a group of three others, and we sat in the dark, moody speakeasy part of the restaurant. It was a charming atmosphere, and the service was incredible. We decided to go with the Chef's Tasting option, which is $95/person. Our friends had done this before and assured us it was a great value, and it really was. You tell the waitstaff if you have any allergies or food aversions, and they create a menu just for you. It's 5 courses, and very filling - we had leftovers. The tasting began with a charcuterie board with a couple cheeses, nuts and a few meats. The next course was appetizers, and included Burrata, Romaine salad, Pork Belly, and Seared Tuna. The Pork Belly was my favorite, and the salad was also excellent. Course three was the pasta course, and they brought us Angel Hair and Tonnarelli (one of my friends is pescatarian, so they erred on the side of meatless for several dishes). Both were great, but I especially loved the flavorful Angel Hair, with pieces of lobster and crunchy breadcrumbs. For the fourth course, we had Spinalis (their specialty steak - OMG this was incredible... so much flavor, perfectly cooked), Scallops (also great), Salmon, Pan Roasted Chicken (well-cooked but forgettable), Brussels Sprouts (very cripsy), and Polenta (super rich). Dessert was cheesecake with apple pie sauce and green apple ice cream, and Tiramasu. I could have done without both desserts (they were good, but I'm a chocolate dessert girl), but that may have also been because I was so full by that time. If I were to just come back and order off the menu, I'd go with either the Angel Hair pasta or Spinalis. Amazing. What a great fine dining experience. read more

We just had a wonderful experience at KR SteakBar. Here are the details: Service (A+) - Extremely friendly and attentive. Our server, Kelsi, was superb Appetizer: Wagyu Carpaccio (B+) - Good but I've had better Appetizer: Arancini (A) - A real winner. The bacon and smoked mozzarella worked so well with the caramelized onions and sweet corn puree Pasta: Maltagliati (B-) - Just ok. Nothing special. Pasta: Agnolotti (A) - Excellent. Very flavorful, and the accompanying pork was very good Steak: 30oz Cowboy Ribeye (A) - Very juicy and tender. We loved it Sides: Yaya's Eggplant Fries (A+) - How surprising! Who would've thought that powdered sugar covered eggplant fries, dipped in hot sauce, made sense. Delectable! Dessert: Classic Tiramisu (A++++++++) - The best tiramisu I've ever tried! And I've been to Italy many times, but nothing I've ever had beats this amazing tiramisu Dessert: Brown Sugar Cheesecake (A+) - Oh so decadent... Before tipping, we spent $311 on a meal for three (2 appetizers, 3 entrées, 1 side, 2 desserts, 1 mocktail, no alcohol, only water). Will be returning for sure! read more

The steal was absolutely incredible , the braised agnolotti could have been warmer. The ambiance was very dimly lit and moody but I will say it is incredibly hard to hear the person next to you and the service we received was less than we expected, we were sat for nearly 2 hours because our server was more attentive to larger older groups. read more

Easily one of the saltiest and most overpriced meals I've ever had. The food was so oversalted it was essentially inedible, and most of our party couldn't finish their dishes. For a group of 10, the bill came to nearly $1,500 -- shocking given the quality of the food. To make matters worse, when I politely asked the hostess whether gratuity had been included (as is standard for parties of 6+), she became visibly annoyed and borderline aggressive. We simply wanted to double-check so that our server -- who was attentive and kind -- was tipped properly. Instead, the hostess made it seem like we were being cheap for even asking. For the price, the experience fell completely flat: poor food, disappointing service from management, and overall not worth it. Would only recommend coming here if your blood pressure is extremely low and in need of a boost. read more

Food is terrific! Love the creativity. The servers were attentive but not intrusive. Lovely place for dates or any special occasion.

Perfection. Dimly lit romantic steakhouse vibes. Starter bread had tasty herb crust. This is probably the best burrata I have ever had. The pesto , cherry and smoky bacon flavors were top tier. The agnolotti were rich and flavorful. Osso bucco perfectly tender, steak cooked exceptionally and the eggplant fries stole the show. Such a unique dish. Not greasy at all, powdered sugar and hot sauce an unlikely but perfect pairing. Do not miss them! Ended with bread pudding that was a nice finale. read more

A hundred times yes, we will be back. The visit to KR SteakBar was the second half to my honey's Father's Day celebration. I was told in advance by friends to request seating in the speakeasy section, and the restaurant obliged. It's a must do if it is available when you visit. We ordered the orecchiette, the 10oz ribeye, the Brussels sprouts and potatoes. The potatoes were just okay, but everything else was delicious. For our drinks, we had the "spicy situation" and the "rum Haus". They were just okay. I think next time I'll just order something that's not on the drink menu. I'm looking forward to returning! read more

Had dinner last night with a large group. Ambiance was perfect. They brought all the appetizers on the menu throughout the table. Meatballs were amazing, potatoes, amazing, brussel sprouts, amazing. I had the ribeye. Waiter said, "The chef recommends medium". Which is my favorite. When I cut into it, it was quite rare with an amazing char on the outside. The place was jumping, so I knew it'd be awhile if I sent it back. Cut into it, and took a bight. Holy Moly! Hands down the best steak I've ever eaten. Balsamic marinade. Others in the group had the "Spinalis" which I learned is the cap of the ribeye, and said it was phenomenal. It looked great. I highly recommend eating here. Can't wait to go back. read more
