    This is a real upscale restaurant that I have visited back in June of this year, 2026. I came here with both my niece and her father and we had a great time. The manager was really, really attentive and checked on us several times. The food was amazingly delicious. I enjoyed every bit of it.

    Hannah honestly made this entire dining experience so memorable and enjoyable. I came with a large group for a birthday dinner, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that we were taken care of all night. The food was amazing. Every appetizer we ordered was delicious, but the pasta and steak were definitely my favorites. And the bread? I'm still thinking about it! It was that good. Between the great food, fun atmosphere, and Hannah's incredible service, this is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. I came for a birthday dinner, but next time I'll be back for date night for sure!

    Don't know where to start, the vibe was exactly what I needed, quiet and elegant but not stuck up. The food was great though they kinda overcooked my steak just a bit. Still delicious but the service... oh man, the service here was some of the best I've ever had. The bartender was on it, took care of me and constantly checking in, drinks were great and I can't wait to be back!

    I stopped by Stoney River at the Cumberland Mall location for a solo dinner and it was such a great experience. I sat at the bar and my bartender Jill was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made the visit feel welcoming. I ordered my go to meal which is the meatloaf with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Pure comfort food done right. And I have to mention the rolls because they are hands down my favorite restaurant bread. Soft, warm, and absolutely addictive. For drinks I tried the Strawberry Fields cocktail and loved it so much that I ended up ordering two. It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and paired well with my meal. Overall Stony River remains a consistently great dining option whether solo or with a group. Highly recommend this location for good food great service and a relaxing atmosphere.

    BISTRO CHICKEN

    I had the bistro chicken at Stoney River, and honestly it just didn't have much flavor for me. I pretty much finished it because I was hungry more than because I really enjoyed it. On the bright side, the steak egg rolls were absolutely amazing and easily the highlight of the meal. I also really appreciated that the bar could make cocktails from just about anything they had on hand, because a lot of places can't do that. I'd still come back, but next time I'd definitely try a different entrée.

    Entree special: bone-in pork chop with a cherry brandy sauce, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli.

    Another great meal at Stony River (Cumberland Mall). Service at the bar was exceptional. I've been served twice by this bartender and each time he's made excellent recommendations. Everyone from the host to the food expeditor/runner were professional and really great at what they do. The pork chop special was very good. I wish they would do something other than just steaming the broccoli, because that is the most lackluster portion of the meal. But overall, it was excellent.

    On a lovely Saturday afternoon, after leaving the mall, we decided to stop here. The wait was not that long but it was disappointing that they could not seat us outside since they did not have a waitress available:/ our waiter, Darryl* was the best ever!! He was so patient, knowledgeable, and pleasant. My friend told me everything was good and wow, DELISH! The margarita was ok. But the food was cooked to perfection.

    One of my favorite places to go for great appetizers and drinks. Stop being midday and was able to sit at the bar with no weight. Izzy was our service/bartender while we were there. She was absolutely amazing. We ordered the cheesesteak rolls the whiskey shrimp on toast and deviled eggs. Izzy gave us amazing recommendations for an old-fashioned and a new raspberry lemon drop that they have....perfection. Izzy was attentive, our food was fresh and delicious. It wasn't too busy in the restaurant, but still great energy and easy to holds conversation. All the staff were absolutely amazing and attentive.

    Location: Cumberland Mall Area Time: 1:00pm 1/3/25 Ran some errands this morning and decided to go to lunch at Stoney River. Not too busy, you can tell just your normal work lunch crowd. Great customer service. Very clean, including the restroom. Steak salad was excellent $26 (used to be $19) It had two deviled eggs in the salad which were really good. Very nice portion, I ate half and took half home. Steak Rolls were a nice yummy appetizer. Topped off with a ginger ale. Ahh Everything is expensive nowadays but for me it was worth it. Really good Happy New Year Yelp!

    I didn't order this but I did taste it. Its shrimp on a garlic bread bun. Super tasty!

    Originally being from the south, it's hard to find Shrimp and Grits that is up to my standards, but Stoney River didn't disappoint. The flavor pops in your mouth. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Staff was professional and friendly. The restaurant itself has an upscalr byt homey feel to it. I would recommend reservations though. We got in early, but before we left, they were full. I really loved this restaurant on my recent visit to Atlanta GA.

    This was my first time here and I was very happy with it. The service was great and the food was delicious. The drinks were good as well.

    We had reservations for this place. We were greeted immediately and promptly seated. The restaurant was really nice more in line with a high end steakhouse. The food was delicious from the complimentary bread to our main entree's. We ordered Caesar salad, steak, eggrolls, lamb chops, and salmon, and everything was prepared nicely. This was my first time at this restaurant, but without question it will not be last.!

    The donut dinner rolls are simply amazing

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!

No one else was seated downstairs...The entire night! Why were we seated downstairs? Why was no one else seated downstairs? I checked upstairs and there was not a single group of color in the main dining room. Coincidence???

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.

I was actually surprised there weren't more people there because this place is a hidden gem! The location is incredibly convenient, with a parking garage right next door offering two hours of free parking, which is a huge plus in Atlanta. The happy-hour menu is fantastic, with $3, $6, and $9 menu items that come in the perfect portions. They also offer specialty cocktails for just $9 that are normally $23--a great deal!

The staff outside greeted me warmly and checked me in, but once inside, the reception felt noticeably different. The staff seemed a little less friendly and somewhat snappy, which didn't quite match the welcoming atmosphere STK presents. Thankfully, once I was seated, my experience completely turned around. I was dining alone, and my server, Ana, was phenomenal. She was attentive without hovering, personable, and made excellent recommendations. The drink she suggested was delicious, and she also recommended the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. I ordered the ribeye medium-well, and it was cooked just right. Even the bread with the butter and blue cheese was good. The rest of the service team was attentive as well. My plates were cleared promptly, and two managers stopped by during dinner to make sure everything was going well. As a solo diner, I especially appreciated receiving the same attention and level of service as any other table. STK is definitely on the pricier side, and the menu is largely à la carte, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Still, if you're looking for an upscale dining experience and don't mind spending a little more, I recommend trying it.
