Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Brookhaven

Amazing food and kind staff. We had a little bit of a wait even with our reservation because of another party that was sitting at their table for an hour after paying, so they gave us free drinks and appetizer and were super apologetic. Didn’t affect the experience negatively.

First visit to Bistro Nico. I’m a business traveller so usually sit at the bar, which I did here too. Service was a bit rushed, but you’re competing for the bartenders’ attention so it’s almost to be expected. Had the duck confit appetizer and the pork chop entree. Both were to die for. I’m already thinking about my next trip to Atlanta so I can have that again. Food came out quickly too, which is nice. Ambiance was good, Christmas decor is over the top, but not in a bad way. Do the valet parking, it’s much cheaper than self parking. Restaurant is well worth a visit.

A wonderful experience start to finish. The Wagyu starter was out of this world. A true highlight off menu feature. Terrific presentation; unique without overpowering what A5 brings of its own. Ribeyes were just right. Many places in Atlanta have good food — Amber was taking great care of us and is a true professional. She made the experience. Well done all around.

Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.

What a fantastic evening! We started with caviar and fresh East Coast oysters on the half-shell. We enjoyed stone crab claws, bone-in filets and Dover sole. It was a delightful evening filled with laughter and impeccable service!
