It’s a fine dining experience here at Tiny Lou’s. I came here from western Massachusetts where French cuisine is tough to find. From the espresso martini to the glorious halibut, exquisite! A must visit for local Atlanta residents.

This was our first experience with Bones. We opted to dine here after spending a family day in the city. To start, we appreciated the private room, the atmosphere and the outstanding service. The food was excellent, served simultaneously and was all just as ordered. To take the experience to the next level, our server was extremely kind to our son and brought a special treat to the table for him. Highly recommend dining at Bones…the menu is terrific, we really enjoyed our experience, and we will go back.
