👍👍 I came in for breakfast, and had the shrimp and grits. It was pretty awesome! My waitress Elida was so kind and attentive (and took the extra time to make me a cold-brew coffee that wasn't even on the menu!). Even though I was staying next door at The Ritz, I knew I had to check this place out,... People often mention good, great, service, restaurant, amazing, time, breakfast, nice, brunch, attentive,

    I came in for breakfast, and had the shrimp and grits. It was pretty awesome! My waitress Elida was so kind and attentive (and took the extra time to make me a cold-brew coffee that wasn't even on the menu!). Even though I was staying next door at The Ritz, I knew I had to check this place out, and was not disappointed. Great atmosphere too. Can't wait to try them for dinner as well.

    Walking through the lobby of the Chandler Hotel on the way to By George we were greeted by a Wine Steward pouring samples of the House vinted red & whites, what a great start and good wines, which we had for dinner! Dinner for 3 with reservations, had the Shrimp Cocktail, salmon, tagalini primavera and risotto, all dishes very good. Great service and elegant atmosphere.

    This restaurant is pretty fantastic. I ate here for breakfast and dinner and the food and service are really outstanding. The staff is extremely helpful and their prices are not bad considering the quality of food. I don't recommend the french toast or the bread pudding simply because they're better options on the menu. The salmon and steak are good choices. The coffee is amazing here and make sure and ask for a smoked old fashioned if you're looking for a cocktail.

    This restaurant is located inside The Candler Hotel. The ambience is very nice and I loved the live music which was not overpowering at all for a Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed the Fried Chicken, Shrimp and Grits, and Candler Salad. The salad was good and so were the shrimp and grits. The waitress somehow messed up our bill and I had to come back after I left to pay for my friend’s bills as the charges were deleted for some reason.

    I’ve been wanting to go to this place for a while and it did not disappoint! The ambiance from the moment I walked in was superb! The staff was very helpful and attentive. I even found out that the original vault for the Coca Cola recipe was held here and they do tours for it on the weekends (free for visitors to the hotel or the restaurant) The food was pretty good as well. I shared the lamp chops and salmon and neither disappointed. Also, for such a nice place, the price were not bad at all. Definitely will have to come back!

    We went for brunch, and had a good time. Food was fairly priced, but just a touch under-seasoned for my taste. The pastry basket was delicious. It changes every day. This time it was muffins! The chicken on the chicken and waffles was really good, bacon was tasty and crunchy, and the potatoes were so good! The eggs were not the best. We didn't get drinks, but heard they have good drinks. Atmosphere was fancy, though there were people wearing shorts and t-shirts. Our waitress Elida was great, very attentive to our needs.

    The Ambience is lit!! Great vibe for a Dinner date. The service is amazing, not much wait time. The interiors are great too! Waiter James did an amazing job taking care of us. Amazing collection of wine . But the food is just okay. The corn muffins were good. Lobster was too small for the price. Zatar chicken was okay, not great. Overall, the service and the venue is amazing but the food is just okay.

    Never eaten anything besides breakfast here while staying at the Candler. I suppose the credit that Hilton Gold and Diamond members get could be used any time, though, so perhaps we'll try lunch or dinner next time. Either way, breakfast is certainly above average, the restaurant is gorgeous, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Nothing bad to say!

    Great place, nice bar and friendly staff. It’s located inside a classic building that is now a hotel. The food is really good, the filet mignon had a good and savory crust and cooked medium just like I ordered it. The cornbread muffins are a most, it’s 5 pieces on each order. The sautéed spinach was also really well cooked and the shallot gave it a good kick to the flavor.

    Ya this place is great. Great food and great service. Rodney was our server and he was excellent, attentive, and super nice! Chicken and Waffles were to die for, and the breakfast tacos special was awesome. Can’t wait to come again.

    By George is inside of the beautiful candler hotel. The atmosphere is amazing unfortunately I wished the food matched the service and decor. Stopped In one evening, it was very crowded maybe about 20% full. I ordered the meatballs and salad as my first and second courses. The meatballs were tasty. The salad was tossed with a little too much vinegar for my liking and they were a little heavy on the peanuts. I added anchovies to the ceasear (always a nice touch) but they didn't pair very well with the vinegar. The homemade corn bread muffins were light and fluffy and complemented the meatballs. However my chicken quarter with brown rice just fell flat. It lacked seasoning and wasn't elevated to the standard to the atmosphere or the establishment. I enjoyed the Brussels. The were rustic and hearty. The desert also lacked Depth and needed more to stand out. For the price point I probably won't return

    By George has a special atmosphere that is only made more special by the outstanding service and food. Servers and bartender so friendly. The marble columns take your breath away, but the Shrimp and Grits were perfect comfort food! The buttermilk corn muffins were a perfect accompaniment to the entree served warm and with butter. The red velvet cake was a rich and flavorful dessert to finish the evening. Outstanding restaurant and staff definitely recommend if you are visiting Atlanta.

    Located inside the stunning Candler Hotel, this restaurant is just as breathtaking with large marble columns and cozy furniture. The bar is a piece of art in and of itself, situated in front of a window with a beautiful metal framework. The food was good, and the service was excellent. The prices match the beauty of the space, so expect to pay a higher price than average (for example, a side of toast is $5). We have only had breakfast here, but it was certainly high quality and I would imagine other meals would be similar.

    Great service! Shakay gave her favorites which didn’t disappoint! She was friendly, knew the menu, and check on us frequently. I enjoyed breakfast! Phenomenal atmosphere, nice subtle music, and historical decor to top it all off.

    Nice food, friendly service. Priced appropriately for a class affair. On Saturday and Sunday morning/brunch it wasn’t crowded. I had Melba toast & croque Madame 2nd meal. As Hilton Honours guest I also got a credit off the cost which was a nice bonus. I was looked after by Rodney and Irish on the 2 days, both great hosts.

    The location is historic with beautiful ornate features, like the columns and central staircase. The food was fresh, good flavors, and nicely plated, too! Only 4 stars though because the server said that the kitchen couldn’t do a poached egg (for the “eggs your way”) and he was very off on the timing and interactions. We were probably only halfway through breakfast when we were asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu and if the plates could be cleared. I replied that I was still eating, gesturing to the half full plate. We had to prompt for water and coffee. Once done with the main meal, the server came back and said so, do you want the check now? I guess? There were only about 3 tables in there on a Tuesday morning, so not like it was full. I recognize that this experience was related more to the individual server, but may reflect the overall training. However, what was coming out of the kitchen was good quality and I’d go back to eat there.

    We visit ATL to celebrate our 28th Anniversary and our dinner was great! I had the lamb chops and hubby had the filet mignon. We also had the tomato bisque and had the red velvet cake. The Moscato was superb! Pete was our server. He was professional , pleasant and made sure we were satisfied. Thank you Pete for your kind words and your attention. Will come back again! The Candler hotel Is beautiful!

    Food- oh my! We came here for brunch, and I had the Shrimp and Grits. It was heavenly! I'm not exaggerating. I shared my plate with pretty much everyone, lol... Service- Tabby was great. She was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and inclusive, and her energy was very positive. She made our birthday boy very happy. The restaurant is incredibly breathtaking, and the ambiance is unmatched even for brunch, and it's located in the Candler building. There's a complimentary valet. The restaurant validates your parking. There's a lot of history there, including the famous vault where the secret formula of Coca cola was kept. There's a tour of the building at the end of your meal. Take the tour because it's mind-blowing! I'll be back to check out the dinner experience Thanks Tabby and the whole team!

    Our server was phenomenal and the parking accommodations is top tier! As a birthday celebration I was very spoiled. The lamb was perfect, the corn bread was unreal and the atmosphere is beautiful.

  • 5/5 Tiffany T. 9 months ago on Google
    Wow amazing dinner and staff. I got the shrimp and grits and the creme brulee. We also got the sweet corn muffins. The house-made ice cream was amazing.

    I went on a date on 8.25 and it was SUPERB. Our waiter Pete was the best. He was attentive, pleasant, and very helpful when I needed to choose a vegetarian dish. I am a new fan of Bourbon, so please try the Southern heart drink, it's MARVELOUS! The manager came to check on us and I truly appreciate that. 100s across the board for this place! ❤️ 💙

  • 5/5 Venecia H. 7 months ago on Google
    It's true what they say about this place. I found this place after deciding on the hotel and I'm glad I picked it. We dined in for lunch. We had the blackened salmon club with fries, candler salad, Cobb salad, and 'pamplemouse?' cocktail... All were amazing. Irish was our waitress. We appreciated her good customer service. Although he didn't have to, the manager got behind the bar and made my drink.

  • 4/5 Amandine EL B. 9 months ago on Google
    Very nice place! I went there during the weekend for the lunch and there was a musician who was playing guitar and violin live and that really contributed to the great time I spent there. I had the burger available in the brunch menu and it was very good. Special mention for the mayonnaise! Overall, the service was very pleasant. Small negative point for the waitress I had because I had not even finished eating that she had already brought me the bill. Despite that, I had a nice time in this amazing place!

  • 5/5 Victoria C. 6 months ago on Google
    Brunch at By George was transformed into an unforgettable experience thanks to our waitress, Tabbie 🤌🏿💯. From the moment we walked in, her warmth and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a delightful meal. She was incredibly attentive to our needs, ensuring that our glasses were always full and our plates just as we wanted them. What truly set her apart, however, was her thoughtfulness in offering to take pictures of our group, capturing the joy of our gathering. Hats off to Tabbie for elevating our brunch to more than just a meal, but a cherished memory!"

    I had a fantastic Saturday brunch at 'by George' in the Candler Hotel in Atlanta. Rodney, our server, was exceptional - attentive and personable. The food, especially the lobster sliders and coffee, was great, and the Bloody Mary was outstanding. I highly recommend this place for a delightful brunch experience!

  • 5/5 Suzy E. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a delightful time here. From the entrance of the hotel to the attention to detail with place settings they have this place running like a well captained ship. The elegance makes for an environment that suits all occasions. We were at a business dinner and it was excellent. Great wine, (I don't drink but everyone else said it was good and some of our table were French so I trust them) For starters we ordered the meatballs, cornmeal muffins and Buratta, for mains we had the Lamb and Bolognese which I didn't get a chance to photograph but it looked divine. For dessert we split a gluten free chocolate cake and vanilla bean ice cream. I highly recommend this place for your date night or celebratory meal. You will be both mentally and physically full 😊

  • 5/5 Kyle S. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved the atmosphere. Manager, service, food and drinks were all great. We loved the cornbread muffins and cheese plate appetizer. My steak was delicious and our sides were great too, the carrots, mashed potatoes, and especially the Parmesan creamed corn. Bartender made a great espresso martini.

  • 5/5 Erica T. 9 months ago on Google
    Heard great things about the service and food, so we had to check it out. And By George did not disappoint!! We visited during dinner time. The restaurant is beautiful and has a classy, relaxing vibe. My table Ordered the salmon (blackened), shrimp and grits, and baked chicken. Waitress asked how I wanted my salmon cooked. (generally recommended medium/medium well). It was perfect!! The corn bread muffins were to die for!! (Drool). Also tried the Peach Bread Pudding and Creme Bruleé, both very yummy! I would definitely come back here to dine.

    My best friend and I chose By George for our first-night dining experience, and it set the perfect tone for our trip. Opting for the salmon dishes, we were both blown away by the amazing flavors and presentation. The biscuits, a must-try recommendation, added a delightful touch to our meal. The lively atmosphere, even on a Wednesday evening, added an extra layer of enjoyment to our night. It was a fantastic way to kick off our journey in the city!

  • 4/5 Tina X. 10 months ago on Google
    This restaurant has amazing ambiance. Located in a nice boutique hotel, the interior design and overall ambiance truly added to the dining experience. However, the food and service was a little disappointing. We went there for brunch and ordered omelet, chicken waffle and steak.The server didn’t ask how the steak should be cooked and after we reminded him we wanted it to be medium rare, it came out almost well done. The omelet tasted really good with a lot of cheese. The chicken waffle was a big disappointment, it tasted dry and flavorless.

  • 4/5 Rustam B. 10 months ago on Google
    The restaurant ambience was amazing. Loved the design. The host did amazing job. The server Angelie did good job, but will write some details so that could help for the future. I sat first and the table close to me on the left side came after 5 minutes. They were welcomed first and got coffee and water first. When I was ready to order salad and steak. Medium and it was almost well ✔️ No steak knife and ketchup so I did not eat breakfast potatoes with the steak. And salad and steak came at the same time. 31$ for steak and eggs. Was waiting for coffee and water. Overall it was good. Just for future reference. Definitely will be back. Check was 78$ for breakfast not bad.

    Table of 4 for lunch and didn’t have high expectations when I went in due to it being a hotel restaurant. But…. Let me tell you they didn’t disappoint. We had turkey burgers which Caine with turkey bacon and a light vinaigrette was on the lettuce. Delicious!!! Catfish was fried perfectly crisp on a brioche bun. Had some of the cornbread as a side and it was moist and delicious. Wasn’t going to have dessert but I kept seeing trays of desserts going to tables so why not. I had the peach bread pudding and it was great. I definitely recommend this establishment and will be back. Thank You Jesus for your great service

    I usually don't review on the first visit but in general I enjoyed myself. The food was very good. My only gripe was I thought it was a little salty. I had the salmon which was cook to perfect. I also sampled the pork chop and short ribs both also very good. The kimchi spinach was surprisingly good as to were the fries and some type of olive, tomato mozzarella platter. Overall great food and good service. We ordered 3 or 4 bottles of wine which I felt were just average. The wine selection could have been better. It took a while for our food to come despite the restaurant not being crowded at all. Honestly we didn't really notice as we were drinking and discussing several topics. I will go back and I suggest YOU check it out.

  • 5/5 Nikita R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful experience for brunch! Jasmine greeted and seated us as soon as we came in and our table was ready for us. Elida was wonderful and attentive and kept topping our coffee and water. The food was wonderful. The potatoes and the pastry plate were fantastic. I would definitely come back for both the food and the service. Thank you, all!
