- LLisaVIPAtlanta •15 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI wish I could remember our waitress’s name but she was excellent. Her manager came over and I told him she was impressive. She was able to carry so many things at the once. She was so pleasant that it really added to our nice dinner. It was very crowded because of Valentine’s and President’s Day weekend, but she was so attentive to all details.More infoThe Chop House - AthensPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Athens•4.7

- JJordynAtlanta •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoH&W is a beautiful restaurant with an amazing atmosphere. The service was exceptional and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the cedar plank salmon, and it melted in my mouth like butter. My boyfriend had the bone-in ribeye, and they cooked it to perfection. While I don’t typically eat steak, I had to try a bite, and I was not disappointed. Everything from the food to the service was top-notch. We will definitely be returning!More infoH & W SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Peachtree Corners•4.7
