Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Chamblee

We went for The Feast of Seven Fishes (only counted 6). Started with cocktails, but the 1st course came ahead of them, so we waited. Both (different) cocktails were mostly nugget ice and heavily citrused. Won’t order cocktails again. Small plates were decent, but confidently small. The lobster tortellini plate made up for the total meal and was generous. Basque cheesecake is an interesting less-sweet option but I wouldn’t opt for it.

Excellent service and food. A little noisy but not unusual.

We had a lunch with a party of 8. The service was flawless- helpful, quick, efficient, but not hovering. Our orders arrived in about 10 min, and everything was as ordered. The food was very good, and the portions were filling. The view from Canoe is wonderful- overlooking some gardens on the bank of the Chattahoochee. Canoe has never disappointed me, and this meal didn't either.

The Alden has an intimate setting which is perfect for a special night out or a culinary adventure. I was celebrating my best friend’s birthday and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making the entire experience feel personal and welcoming. I’m no food critic, but I can recognize fresh, high-quality ingredients, and Chef Jared and his team delivered that in every dish—10/10. Sitting at the counter was the highlight; it’s the best seat in the house. You get to watch the chefs in action, adding a layer of entertainment to the evening. Each course was perfectly timed, creating a seamless dining experience. The combinations of ingredients and pairings were nothing short of fantastic. Some dishes featured bold and unexpected flavors that worked together beautifully. The quail and scallops were my favorites—flawlessly executed and deeply satisfying. I also appreciated the global influences woven into the menu, which made each dish feel like a small journey. And let’s not overlook the fact that Chef Jared is as talented as he is handsome—a fun bonus to an already unforgettable meal. They gave us a birthday treat to top it all off. I can’t wait to go back to experience other dishes.

Really nice restaurant. Excellent service and good food. I am glad we were in the back area as it got too crowded in the main area and was far more noisy. Overall a great restaurant with really attentive hosts.
