    Try By George, it's a quiet and refined dining experience. The Candler is a lovely hotel and By George is an excellent compliment to any stay. After a long day of driving in holiday traffic, my friend and I were ready to unwind. For medical reasons, we weren't drinking and the bartender made us delicious virgin mojitos. The crab cake and house salad with pickled peaches were perfect starters. I love the bolognese and the thought is a treat!

    The burger was way too salty - I couldn't eat it! Never had one that salty before and hope I never do again. Super disappointed.

    It is a very intesting place with a history and conveniently located. Food was excellent. And service was friendly with a lot of south charm.

    Service was excellent. Kitchen was lacking. Cheese plate was missing items and salad came without dates or dressing. We thanked the waiter and departed without ordering an entree.

    I wish I had been told when I made my reservation for 1:30pm, that you would be closing soon. We were very rushed and asked to place our order right away. We had not yet finished when we were asked to move to the bar so that they could reset our table for dinner. Food and service was good...I just wish I had been told about the time that brunch ended.

    Beautiful restaurant space in a historic building. Definitely recommend going for drinks at the bar and dinner afterwards. A true hidden gem. Food was excellent and I highly suggest ordering the muffins.

    Fabulous in every aspect - best spot I dined at while in Atlanta for five days for a conference - so much so I went twice! Walkable from downtown core which is near to many hotels and part of a Michelin key recognized heritage hotel. Should be on your dining radar if you care about the food you eat and are looking for a great affordable place to go .

    James was our wonderful waiter -ask for him if you can -he made our experience extra special from the anniversary champagne toast to the surprise dessert and finishing touch- he was so much fun and just a kind and thoughtful soul!! If that wasn’t enough and because yes we came for the food let me break that down. The food was Fabulous!!! We shared the biscuits which are a must try -warm and sweet savory -just super delish !!☺️ my husband had the trout with asparagus and the Brussels sprouts … he shared of course and ………………..omg those Brussels sprouts A M A Z I N G!!!! Now the trout was scrumptious too but I’m still thinkin’’bout those sprouts !!! Ok 👌🏽 on to my dish the salmon … another home run … no outta the park …. Cuz babeeee this was F A B U L O U S!!!! I almost didn’t wanna return the favor and share my dish lol ( of course I did tho ☺️) the salmon was perfect - I took James recommendation and had it cooked medium well -perfection -even the skin was delicious-and I normally peel that off but it had just the right amount of crisp that sent this over the top for me -not to mention a very nice size cut of salmon . The broccolini was the cherry on top super delish and just the right amount of lemon. It had a small amount of sauce on it but honestly the broccolini didn’t need it, it was a star already with that hint of Meyer lemon . I also had the asparagus-it was ok normal -but wouldn’t have it on my repeat list 😉 but you already know what would make it …..that Salmon ( medium well) along with the broccolini and those Brussel sprouts for sure !!! Oh and don’t forget the biscuits !!! If there is time have them show you the vault -I think it’s where they kept the Coca-Cola recipe- we were trying to fit this in but had a show to go to … next time James 😉 overall wonderful experience!! And definitely recommend 🫰🏽🫰🏽🫰🏽🫰🏽
