From the time you hand the keys to the valet, to when you say "so long" to the maître de, the experience at Blue Ridge Grill is outstanding. They always accommodate my request for a special table, if one is available. The food is consistently great. This is an Atlanta institution, and I can't wait for the opportunity to return for my next special night.

Can't go wrong with butternut squash soup with cranberry. Caesar salad was good but not outstanding. Cod with spinach, mashed potatoes was excellent. Grilled vegetable sandwich was tasty. Tracy, our waitress, was a delight and attentive. View of river was beautiful.

We dine here regularly but I have to say our dinner and service was amazing last night! Rozie & TJ made sure we were well taken care of AND even treated us to a couple of tastings to pair with our meal! I can’t say enough about the beef bolognese, chef’s filet special, and the amazing bread pudding!
