Second time at Lazy Betty, first at the "new" location in Midtown, and this time celebrating an anniversary. It was just as good, if not better, than I remembered... still have no idea what the hell I ate, other than it was wonderfully weird. Our visit was in late February so the winter menu was in effect. For drinks, I had something that had "corn" in the title (not seeing it on the cocktail menu that is currently posted on their website) and it was spectacular in a way that cannot be described in words. Just one of those things you have to try for yourself, especially if you like popcorn. My bf had the "Lemon Pepper Wet" cocktail and I thought it was great (he wasn't as sold on it). As far as the tasting menu goes, all of the courses were superb. A few that stood out to me: the cured hamachi amuse course which was served with an airy rice cracker; the poached sturgeon cooked to perfection and on top of a beurre blanc sauce that I could have licked off of the bowl; and the intermezzo course of pomegranate and sorbet. I'm not a fan of duck, so I chose to sub that course ($75 upcharge) for the wagyu beef, which was 100% worth it. I found the desserts a little bit too sweet for my liking and since I don't like poached pear/pear sorbet (too mealy for me) or lychee, those courses fell slightly flat for me. We were sent an additional dessert with a "cookies and cream" vibe that had "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate. We were provided well wishes for our celebration by everyone from the host to the person who cleared our plates. As far as service goes, we were constantly tended to. My bf did not want to do the full wine pairing, but did want to try the pinot noir served with the sturgeon course. They not only timed it impeccably, but we also got to hear from the sommelier about her thought process for pairing a red wine with a white fish, and to also try the white wine that she ultimately decided against that "keeps her up at night" (for the record, the red was unmistakably better). Each person who brought out and described a course did so with so much passion for food and dedication to the chef's craft. The new location is perhaps on par with the "upscale dining" experience that you'd expect for a One Star Michelin restaurant. But I really missed the charm of the previous location, as well as the ease of getting there versus dealing with traffic/construction in Midtown. Parking is validated in the adjacent deck (navigate to 999 Peachtree to save yourself of the headache that we encountered dealing with the one-ways). The third floor of the deck is ground level; after parking in a retail space, walk towards and through the courtyard to a set of glass double doors. There you will find the host stand marked "Lazy Betty." The interior seems a bit bigger than the previous location. It felt like our table was farther away from the one next to it. The bathroom was well stocked with mouthwash, floss picks, even hairspray... making this the perfect location for a fancy date night. Even sitting at the bar enjoying the inventive cocktails must be a fantastic experience. We'd made a 6:00 pm reservation several weeks in advance -- were surprised to see so many empty tables around 7 pm. So if you're doubting on being able to get in without a reservation, I suggest calling and/or stopping by to see if you can sit at the bar or perhaps there would have been cancelations. read more

My first real disappointment in a Michelin restaurant. The good: service was fairly attentive and everyone was nice and all smiles. The included service charge is actually really great and I love that they operate that way. They are obviously taking risks and experimenting with flavors and definitely have technical aptitude. The duck was quite good as was the corn and lobster tortellini. The cocktail I had was also quite nice. The neutral: the elevated wine pairing was reasonably good. The setting was fine. Less polished than some other one stars but cozy and cute. The not so good: The flavors fell short for me on more than one occasion. The halibut was quite bland though presentation was nice. The wagyu was a real let down given the added charge for it. Marbling is obviously the desired attribute of this but uhm I kind of want some beef in there as well. It was like eating a beef candle. Which is fine when you aren't promised ribeye. Considering the fish and beef course were the main highlights, it was a letdown (though as above I would've been happier with the duck). The desserts while decent just couldn't make up for it. Don't regret going but will probably pass on a repeat. read more

Lazy Betty makes terrific cocktails and has an awesome vibe, but the vegeterian tasting menu fell a bit short. The golden beets are incredible, but the last few courses--eggplant, potato, and celeriac--all have the same problem of being a bit simple. I would've loved more char or carmelization. The dessert of mango and chocolate was great. A+ decor A+ drinks A- service B+ food read more

Lazy Betty - Mango and chocolate dessert course - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I had really high hopes for this place given that they have a Michelin star, but it just missed the mark for me. I have been to a few Michelin star restaurants around the world so I had some high expectations and maybe that was my fault. First of all, the restaurant is actually a little bit confusing to find since the parking garage is co-located next to a a hotel. It wasn't clear to me if the restaurant did valet or not or maybe we missed it. They do validate parking. From an ambience perspective we were greeted and all the staff were nice. It is a little bit dark and cozy with an upscale yet relaxed vibe. It looks like you can come in and just sit at the bar and order drinks as well. The folks at the bar were pretty loud so it kind of distracted from our intimate dinner if that is what you're looking for. In terms of the the food, the tasting menu was okay. They do a great job of of having a variety of different flavors, textures, and presentations in all of their dishes. However, the only two dishes that really blew me away was the salmon appetizer bite and one of the lime centric desserts on the sweeter side of the menu. I do give them kudos for trying exotic unique flavors. However, I think some of them just didn't mix well for my palette, so this might just be my personal taste. Because of this, I found the overall experience expensive for some dishes that I didn't even really like. I also had an upset stomach later that night and threw up, I don't know if it was from the seafood or something else but clearly my body did not enjoy it. I've been to other Michelin star restaurants that are lower priced that tasted better to me. I even upgraded my tasting menu with the wagyu dish and it still didn't blow me away. We also had some confusion with how the tasting menu was set up thinking that the wagyu dish was an add-on and not a substitution. I wish they would change their printed menu to explicitly state that it's a substitution because it was pretty confusing and made our night start off on a negative tone that was hard to come back from. I likely won't come back given the high price point and lackluster tasting experience read more

The evening was entirely delightful. The space & ambiance was perfect, staff friendly and professional and outstanding 8 course menu. The stand outs were the bread (lol), halibut, truffle risotto (add on), & wagyu beef (add on). On top of it all, Gracie the sommelier is a rock star who went over the top with her warmth and fantastic service. We even received a two bottle wine package in our hotel room the next evening from the restaurant!. Don't miss out on this wonderful experience. Atlanta done right! read more

Lazy Betty is Phenomenal! Just absolutely amazing! I have gone twice: both for their spring menu and each time we came away almost in tears from how good the food is. This past trip was made especially special by Benjamin (the sommelier) and Anthony (our server). They were kind and patient with us, and added in so many small touches to make our experience truly memorable. I would love to come back each season to taste what the chef has to offer. You will not be disappointed! The experience takes about 3 hours so bring someone you can laugh with, and have a good time! read more

Fantastic ingredients and cooking techniques from around the world. I'm giving it 5 stars specifically for locals as I can't fault anything except for lacking a wow factor or hyper local focus that would make it travel worthy for those of us coming from out of town. The food is delicious, diverse (European and Asian influences along with contemporary American), service is great. Price is commensurate with the quality and listed price includes 20% service but not sales tax. Easy walk from Midtown MARTA. read more

Just stepped in last night for my first visit at Lazy Betty's new location. The team still delivers a five star experience in their new midtown location! Every bite, every sip was absolutely divine. It was evident that the sommelier had taken care to ensure the pairings were on point, and the pastry chef sent out an extra dessert course when they learned it was our birthdays. Could not have asked for a better experience. Lazy Betty remains one of the high water marks for fine dining not only in Atlanta, but anywhere! Tip - the new building is right next to the Hyatt Centric. Take advantage of their valet! read more

Wow this was my first time at a michelin star and I was blown away to say the least. First of all, let me say that this is the BEST FOOD I have ever had IN MY LIFE. My friend treated me out to celebrate my master's degree graduation and it was special. The asparagus. I literally can't describe it. The texture was so unique yet perfect. I didnt know it could taste that good. They mocktail was solid. The blue fin roll was not just my taste preference but incredible. Everything on this menu is meant to amuse you and entertain you. Its so fun! If I had one critiques, the duck stuffed squash blossom was pretty salty for me. The "dumpling" snow crab was also insane. If I lived in Atlanta, i would come back here again for sure to celebrate a special event. Justified!!! read more

We were excited to be back in Atlanta, especially since we used to live in Georgia before. When we left, there were no Michelin-star rated restaurants here -- so it's really nice to see that there are now a few. The ambience is classy, elevated, and feels special from the moment you walk in. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us well throughout the evening. We chose the tasting menu. We've done many tastings and omakases before -- and while this one may not rank at the very top for us, it was still enjoyable and worth trying at least once for the experience. The highlight of the night was the olive-fed Wagyu add-on. Truly exceptional. Melt-in-your-mouth and definitely the standout dish. Overall, a beautiful setting and great elevated dining experience in Atlanta -- worth checking out at least once. read more

Over I had high expectations coming here because I heard good things about this place. Someone had previously recommended to me this place before they were even Michelin rated. Parking was super convenient in the parking deck and service was great. My favorite dishes were the foie gras with pumpkin perdu and the jasmine granita dessert. Usually foie gras seems very heavy but it was paired perfectly with the persimmon, pumpkin, pecan and buttermilk flavors. The strong jasmine flavor of the granita was refreshing paired with the grapes and curd. I loved the presentation of the amuse bouche and the kiwi was a nice touch of tanginess to the kampachi cold appetizer. The seabass was a little oily for me and the duck entree accompaniment flavors did not stand out. Dessert was also a little too sweet for me. I wish there were more refreshing dishes vs the heavy dishes near the end but overall not bad. For $250 pp though I would have to heavily consider to come back again. Other restaurants for $125+pp seem more reasonable for a similar quality of food. read more

One of Atlanta's finest, and I can absolutely see why. Every course was a delight, with my favorites being the sturgeon dish with a delicious beurre blanc sauce and dry aged duck with perfectly crisp skin. The yuzu-forward hamachi course layered with flaky rice crackers was also delectable. The techniques and flavors were refined from start to finish, and service was warm! read more

We had a nice tasting menu at Lazy Betty. Atmosphere and service was enjoyable, quiet, and friendly. The first half of the tasting was amazing, with the corn agnolotti being the best dish. The pasta texture and flavors were perfect! Crab and tuna dish were also great. The Sablefish was a bit disappointing after the stellar first half, being a little bland and slightly overcooked. The duck was too tough and least enjoyable. Desserts were as expected, with the pomegranate granita being a very nice refresher that looked unassuming at first. We would recommend. read more

I was super excited to try Lazy Betty. The food was great, but the service fell so short that I probably won't be back. I'll start with the good. All of the food was amazing. Our favorite dish was a hamachi tartare with caviar on top. Maybe one of the best things I've eaten in Atlanta. It was delicious. Nothing else majorly stood out, but it was all very good. The amount of food you get is decent as well! For the price we paid for this tasting menu (on par with 2 star restaurants in other larger cities), the service was not good. 1) We arrived for our reservation on time, and we didn't get seated until 20 minutes after our reservation time. I get that you can't control when the previous guests leave, but I've been to a lot of other restaurants of this caliber and I've never had to wait that long past my reservation time. 2) We came on New Years Eve Eve. When booking online through Chase, we had the option of booking a more expensive NYE menu (I think it was $350/pp?) or the standard menu (I think it was $280/pp). My husband and I had a discussion and decided to opt for the standard menu. We were surprised to get to the restaurant and learn we had to do the NYE menu. Our waitress could not have been nicer about it. However, she sent over the manager, and the manager was not nice. She came over for 30 seconds to essentially gaslight us to tell us it's impossible we booked a standard reservation online. Then said she would "have to talk to the restaurant owner and get back to us". She never came back. Our waitress was still super nice, and they did end up letting us pay the price of the standard menu. I do really appreciate them getting it resolved, but the way in which the manager acted really upset us and put a huge damper on the night. Spoiler Alert: it was a Chase glitch and we did in fact book the standard reservation. 3) There were many service mishaps throughout the night. The wrong silverware being set and then having to be reset. At one point, someone came and put 2 fresh wine glasses and napkins on our table. We were puzzled since we already had full wine glasses. 30 seconds goes by, and that server comes back silently, takes the empty glasses, and immediately takes them to another table of 2 people. It was odd, and I would've been upset if I was the other couple that got wine glasses that had already sat in front of 2 people for a few minutes. There were many things like that throughout the night. For the price we paid, other restaurants of this caliber treat you like royalty. I appreciated that this is more of a laid back restaurant, but I think at this price point you're just as much paying for the experience/service as you are the food. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be back. read more

Absolutely spectacular Michelin star restaurant in Midtown Atlanta. Came here for my wife's birthday and enjoyed our entire experience. Prior to arriving, we were called by the manager or owner to confirm our meal choice which he recommended the 6 course menu for us first timers. Turns out, it was an excellent choice and left us feeling satisfied and we'll fed. The drinks were excellent as well and we're recommended to us by our excellent server Anthony who was very helpful, friendly, and helped guide us through our meal with great personality. There were other team members who explained some of the courses to us, and they were all very thorough and kind as well. The ambiance of the restaurant is excellent with a nice looking bar that helps balance out the very well designed and not overly crowded restaurant. The entire experience at Lazy Betty was truly a Michelin star worthy experience and my wife and I were both completely satisfied. 5 stars easily and two very enthusiastic thumbs up for Lazy Betty! Thank you to all staff for an exceptional dinner! read more

Came alone during a business trip. Sat at the bar. Lexie was my bartender and server. She was attentive, friendly and overall just a delight. Ordered a bottle of wine based on the sommelier's recommendation (took half back to hotel with me). Had the tasting menu. Everything on it was delicious and beautifully presented. I enjoyed everything they gave me, and was given hand made cookies as a take away. Lexie was such a gracious host; she even walked me out to show me where I could catch my uber. Rockstar service from her especially. Loved this place, would definitely come back and recommend read more

We recently tried Lazy Betty for the first time for a special occasion. Our experience was truly excellent. Both of us did the Chef's Tasting menu - which had a variety of wonderful seasonal flavors. I would highly recommend the wine pairings, which we found to be both excellent and at times off the beaten path. Service was prompt and attentive. Care was always given to explain both the dish and the pairing, which was a touch that I really appreciated. The mood of the restaurant is dark and quiet - wonderful place for a date night. read more

A great place, I don't consider this to be a restaurant, I consider this place to be an experience! An absolute must do! Wonder food, the three staff members that waited on Me... Rose, Grace and Elizabeth were all top notch. They knew the menu in and out, made it a point to see that I was having a wonderful meal and great time. Chef Hsu came out to greet Me, give some history about the establishment. All in all it was just wonderful, I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Lazy Betty! Oliver read more

Lazy Betty - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Lazy Betty relocated to Midtown in the old Empire State venue. The location is a bit odd in that appears to be in an office building without much signage - though the scent of butter can be detected from the outside. Indoors, you observe the expected elegance. Very cool decor, including the light fixtures on the ceiling. When seated, we are greeted with friendly and attentive service through and through. Literally every person who came to our table...whether to advise on drinks or to provide clarification on the menu...was genuinely helpful. There was also some unique flair among some employees' outfits with personalized storylines to boot. As for the food: One of us went with a vegetarian menu, and the other was standard non-vegetarian. We received several courses throughout the meal. It was a touch heavy on the mushrooms - but not in a way that was overwhelming or dissatisfying. As someone who doesn't even eat much mushrooms, they were all reasonable dishes. The desserts, while small, were fine - and at least we had a variety of them. I quite liked many of these novel dishes, though it's worth noting that they felt like they were doused in butter. Regardless, I can't say I felt "stuffed" at the end of the meal (I somewhat expected that given the price point), though per the Japanese, perhaps that "hara hachi bu" approach is optimal. One last point: The drinks were awesome. Really enjoyed the Babymaker. It's expensive. But if you're at Lazy Betty, you can probably afford it. read more

You walk in and you're immediately captivated by the design. You hope the food will taste as good as the space looks. You can do a 6 or newly added 10 course tasting, both will have you full! You can have a craft cocktail prepared by the well informed mixologist Grumpy (he's not grumpy). Now for the food the star of the place. I challenged myself to stick as close as I could to the selections I've now done the 6 and 10 course. It's a MUST experience - you will get full and if you're with the right company it will be more than on hour of a party in your mouth. read more

Have not written a review for Lazy Betty, and I usually don't for restaurants that have a lot of good reviews. But after getting fooled a few times by Yelp with glowing reviews for other tasting menus in ATL, wanted to write this. This is actually a tasting menu worth eating. Went many times at the old location. Sitting at the casual counter and interacting with the chef and staff was fun. And the food was creative, beautiful and actually tastes good. There is a reason they deserved the Michelin. Taste matters here...chef does not forget that at the end of the day...food should taste good. Even when served dishes that were composed of proteins I do not care for, I could appreciate the creativity, taste and execution. Also, the team was willing to switch out a dish for a vegetarian dish or something else when requested. The caviar service because OMG...just get it. Haven't been to the new location yet but hope it is still to the same standard. So many ATL chef's are offering tasting menus at high price points at $250+ /pp that are not worth it...like paying for Braves tickets and watching little league. (If a place like Moss- helmed by the kindest and sweetest chef, Aggi Sverrisson, in Iceland, is charging $350/pp, and if a restaurant charges over $250 in ATL, my expectation is that it better deliver close to same level.) Lazy Betty is one of the few tasting menus in Atl that I think is worthy of their price point...at least at their old location. I heard mixed reviews about the new location from people who went when they re-opened. They said they no longer have the chef counter so the experience may be different. But overall, the tasting menu is a joy to experience. And totally worth the price point. read more

Since Lazy Betty was awarded one of the first Michelin stars in Atlanta, I wanted to check it out. They have been on my list of restaurants to eat at for so long, so as my birthday, my wife took me here to eat. I was super happy that I got to spend my birthday here as well as I got some extras. For parking, they do validate parking, just ask the hostess. Parking wise, you park in the same parking lot as the Hyatt so if you go to that parking deck, you're in the right place! We had the tasting menu here, which was $225. But to be honest, it was a lot of food for the price. So on our adventure we had some amuse bouche, along with several bites of entrees and desserts. These were all bite size, because well it's a tasting menu, but I thought all of the dishes that were served were well flavored. I also thought the dishes themselves seemed safe. The combinations of flavors were well known to go together. However, with the combinations they took a step above the normal and with sauces and foams I thought all of the dishes were great. Service here was great. The vibe inside was that half of the restaurant was open to a la carte and the other the tasting menu. The music was on point, every song was a blast to the past and the staff was super nice and presented each dish professionally. I would definitely recommend to come here to eat for a special occasion. If you're not willing to do the tasting menu, the a la carte menu won't disappoint either. But with a tasting menu, making decisions on what to eat is taken out which is what I enjoyed the most. read more

The tasting menu was delicious and a great experience, well worth the money. The mood and servers in this place are so nice and lovely, and the tasting menu was so varied and adventurous. I dont think most people, unless they have very advanced palates, are going to vibe with every single course necessarily, but i bet they will with ALMOST every single one and very strongly. I cant remember what they were all called but i want to shout out my favorites. The crab and rice bowl, the stuffed morel, and the sea bass were insanely good, as was the foie gras with raspberry jam-like substance. Those arent grill marks in the picture, its a striped situation like the worlds best and most sophisticated sweet and salty treat. I also really enjoyed the non alcoholic beverage pairing, which did a delightful job of matching each course in flavor so that each drink was super refreshing and complimentary. This was my first time doing a fancy chefs tasting menu like this, and it exceeded my expectations. I would love to go back and try their other menus in the future read more

Lazy Betty provides an enjoyable relaxed environment with a playlist that is definitely curated by a millennial. The drinks were well made and most of the dishes felt unique. For me the sauces and foam really elevated each dish (e.g. the duck and foie gras dish may be basic French cuisine but the sauce ties it together so well and was easily one of my favorites). Staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. Parking in the 999 parking deck is validated by the host(ess). A 20% service fee is included. read more

As an overall meal and experience, this place is great. The tasting menu had some really high points including the best steak I've ever eaten. But the low points include the long wait time between some courses, and an uninspired dessert course. After a great meal, the assortment of random chocolates and fruit brought the whole experience down and left me wishing we had skipped that course. And for $295 per person, the customer should expect to finish the meal with a bang. But with that being said, the staff was amazing and most of the courses were delicious. I'd go back when they offer a different menu with a different dessert. read more

Best meal of my life. Incredibly well-deserved Michelin-star rated restaurant in Atlanta. We went for their New Years Eve at Lazy Betty prix fix "Seven Course Tasting Menu" on the last day of 2023. My partner selected the wine pairing for us, and we added a tasting of the mushroom risotto. The service was impeccable, attentive, and welcoming. It was a formal dinner, so it was fun seeing everyone in their finest to ring in the new year! The wine pairing came with a sommelier, who came directly to our table and explained why each wine was picked for each course. The food was spectacular, truly the meal was a culinary masterpiece. read more

Wow!! I finally got my masters degree and needed to celebrate. Lazy Betty was here to take my whole slightly drunk and extroverted persona. As someone who's no stranger to Michelin starred restaurants Lazy Betty is absolutely at the TOP of the spectrum. Every bite I had was legendary. The standout for me was the fois gras terrine with beats. Brought me back to my grandmothers Eastern European kitchen in the best way possible. Did I mention the service is impeccable?!!! Seriously the most pampered I have ever been at a Michelin starred restaurant. Photos speak for themselves Come here. It is the BEST!! if I was a Michelin rater I'd give them 2 stars. Better than 2 star experiences I've had in NYC. Love lazy Betty. read more

As good as advertised and well deserving of their Michelin star. The restaurant atmosphere and ambiance with it's dim lighting really helps set the mood for what you're in for. Every detail is accounted for when it comes to each course you are presented with. Flavorful and full of quality. You really get the most out of each bite even if the portions aren't the biggest, by the end of the night you'll definitely be leaving satisfied. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time for a good slot, but it's well worth the hefty price tag at the end of the night. read more

This year I have an ambitious goal to eat at all 45 of the Michelin Guide recommended restaurants in Atlanta. I'm happy to say that I started here. I made a solo dinner reservation for my birthday this weekend, eating here on Friday. I've been to more than a few Michelin-starred restaurants around the globe, so my expectations were realistic but quite high. Lazy Betty exceeded them for sure. I got to sit at the kitchen because of my party size, so I could watch the chefs do what they do (and pretend I'm in The Bear as I discussed with one of them) while savoring their work. I thought the bag hooks at the bar seats were a nice touch. I ordered a glass of rosé Robert Sinskey pinot noir and it was wonderful, very fitting to my tastes. Every course was incredible and delicious. I got the additional scallops, and WHAT a choice. I told the Chef de Cuisine they were life-changing scallops. I also loved the writing on the second dessert celebrating my special day! I'm so excited for this great restaurant to be down the road from me in Midtown. I spoke with the maitre'd about their opening day and might stop by to try their new bar menu if I'm around. read more

We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary being told this was an amazing restaurant. We left being disappointed. The service was unexpectedly bad. As an example, we noticed a couple of the tables near us that were celebrated by the server for their anniversary, given special treatment while we felt ignored. There were some highlights to the menu, which included an amazing Wagu, however, the meal ended with a horrendous dessert that was provided as a substitute due to dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, the bad way to end the evening left a sour taste in our mouth for the entire night. And after spending so much, we were very disappointed. read more

We went for Easter brunch, and the entire experience was a letdown. The place is seriously overhyped, outrageously overpriced, and we left hungry and extremely disappointed--avoid at all costs. To make matters worse, the dining room felt uncomfortably warm. We asked our server if the temperature could be adjusted, and he said he'd let the manager know--but nothing ever happened. Eventually, we asked a different server, who simply turned to the thermostat right behind us--it was set to 75 degrees. That about sums up the service and attention to detail. Definitely not worth the time or money. read more

I was invited to a special dinner in the private room at the back of Lazy Betty - and it was a night to remember! We had the six course dinner with wine pairings. The service was excellent and the presentation of dishes spectacular. Amuse - 5/5, we had four delicate little amuse bouche items, which we were instructed to eat from left to right, the best was the duck spring roll on rocks (and they told us the rocks were not edible which was helpful!) Cured Hiramasa - 5/5, I don't usually like raw fish but this was delicate and tasty, and all of us thought the green peanut and shoyu emulsion was especially delicious Hudson Valley Foie Gras - 4/5, foie gras in the shape of a strawberry? It was unusual for sure, but not my favorite item Seared Diver Scallop - 5*/5, one scallop but boy was it good Poached Icelandic Cod, 5*/5, the sizeable piece of cod was perfectly poached and in a super flavorful sauce so good that I wanted to lick the plate (but I didn't) Crown Roasted Dry-Aged Duck - 5/5, I love duck and this was a meaty piece that also had a small piece of fried foie gras which was so fatty/rich I couldn't do it Blackberry Mousse - 4/5, I remember this was yummy but I also can't describe it so it makes me think it wasn't the standout item except I was so curious about a cucumber soup being poured in the middle of the dessert, very unusual Amuse dessert - 4/5 they brought out three different bite sized desserts, but again I can't remember what they were except one was a rose cream filled chocolate cookie which was a little too salty for my taste I think my dinner with the wine pairing was probably around $400 which makes this the most expensive meal I've ever had (this is a Michelin star restaurant) and I am grateful to have been hosted for the memorable dinner! read more

We came for pre-dinner drinks for my boyfriend's bday (wasn't sure if you could stop in for just a drink but rest assured that you can) and loved it!! The bartenders were super friendly and knowledgeable and walked us through nearly the whole cocktail menu, and we were both thrilled by what they helped us pick. My drink, the Tomato Fight was so fresh and easy to drink and not at all what I expected. My boyfriend got the Side Chick and really loved the yellow chartreuse in it. This is a great way to experience the vibes of Lazy Betty without committing to the dinner price point, although definitely want to come back for dinner after this experience! read more

If you're a meat-and-potatoes kind of person with a preference for hearty portions, this likely isn't your kind of restaurant. If you relish intricate pairings of ingredients with unfamiliar names... welcome to Lazy Betty, a one-of-a-kind experience. I love it! Portions are small, but the work that goes into each is awesome (a word I don't use lightly.) Each of the seven courses, along with the amuse bouche is brought to the table and described in exacting detail. Lazy Betty -- with owner/chefs from Le Bernardin in NYC -- is a splurge. The prix fixe is currently $195, inclusive of a 20% gratuity. The wine list is extensive with most selections in the triple digits. Since I like-what-I-like and I'm no connoisseur, I save money and usually bring my own. The corkage fee is now $50 with a two bottle per table, maximum. If you're intrigued in looking at posted photos, pull up the restaurant's website and read the description of each dish. The menu, which changes periodically, reflects the season. Service is impeccable; friendly, not stuffy. Dress: While I wouldn't wear ripped jeans, I guess you could. But don't. (I don't think it's respectful to other diners or the chef.) Lazy Betty's ambience is sedate, the room dark and cozy with cushions and blankets on the banquettes. In summation: go, enjoy, try things you haven't eaten before -- and strike this up as a fun evening out. read more

One of the better fine dining places I've been to and I thought it was a great place to celebrate a late birthday dinner. The interior is super cool and the service was great too! We opted for the four course menu and I thought it was plenty for the food. I enjoyed everything, but my standouts were the duck main course and the sponge cake. All of the pieces for the duck was good and meshed well together, especially the foie gras! I think Lazy Betty is a strong contender for a Michelin star in Atlanta, and can't wait to see if it gets one in a month! read more

Following the Michelin Atlanta list coming out, we made a reservation to come to Lazy Betty! Expectations were definitely high, but I felt it didn't quite hit the mark for us. Given the star and price point, we really wanted to live everything put in front of us and didn't feel like that. The were a lot of creative elements that I liked. We did the tasting menu and added on the truffle risotto. Service here was nice and attentive. Dishes came out at a nice pace for the tasting menu. The vibe here is a little stuffy as they did come around and brush crumbs off the table which I personally am not a fan of. We found the cod to be salty and the broth had one note. The amuse was by far our favorite item we had! Blue fin tuna roll was fine. Duck was delicious. Raspberry mousse dessert was okay. Overall, I'm glad I came for the experience, but don't think I'll venture back any time soon for the tasting menu! Will be eyeing dropping by for the a la carte menu at the bar! read more
