the best steakhouse in atlanta! hubby took me here on our first date and we go back every year - going on 6 years now. it's all in the details. when you go to restroom you come back to find your napkin folded. entree never comes out while appetizer is still on table. if it's your birthday or anniversary you will find confetti on table and a gift when you leave. truly a 5 star dining experience. read more

Very nice atmosphere and excellent service. Given this was fine dining, we were a bit unimpressed with the food quality. Everything seemed a touch over seasoned with salt. I like salt just like the next guy, but when you "notice" salt in the dish, too much has been added. This was not just my opinion, but of my two guests, as well. My ribeye was served a perfect medium rare, but I found it lacked the marbling expected at this level of dining. It was also strange to find a vein of inedible gristle on this cut. A guest remarked that her filet mignon was good, sans the extra salt. With the many fine steakhouses in the area, we probably will not return here in future visits to Atlanta. read more

Fantastic restaurant. Wonderful service and an excellent wine list. I ordered the ribeye, which was cooked perfectly to my request. I also enjoyed some of the onion rings that a colleague ordered. Normally I would t try anything fried. However, their onion rings are a little different from most places. I wasn't disappointed. Finally, I ordered the pecan pie. I must say, that was the best damn pecan pie ice ever had in my life. Highly recommended. read more

Hubby and I went to Bones recently. It was all so good and the service was professionally perfect. I ordered salad, bone-in ribeye. Hubby ordered onion soup, bone-in ribeye, lobster tail, and cheesecake. Everything was good. Their Ribeye was excellent. Tender, flavorful, with a little bit of char. Everything was good. read more

This place is really really really good. First of all, I love the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. It's really old school like dining at an exclusive club in the 60's. The service is impeccable. Waiters seem to always keep an eye on you without hovering. Very impressive. We had the beef carpacio and octopus salad appetizers. Both were amazing. I may have liked the octopus a little more, but both were perfect. We ordered the bone in dry aged ribeye sliced for us. It was cooked perfectly (medium) but it wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked or compared to home. I know that Bones is buying prime cut steaks, but the prime cuts I have gotten from Costco or Wholefoods seem to have been better marbled. The steak was the weakest part of the meal, but it was still good. They had the nice sear on the outside without overcooking the inside. Next time I might get a sauce. We had the hash browns with the steak. It doesn't look like much from the pictures, but it was really good. The wine list is quite impressive and there were some good choices that could be ordered by the bottle. We saved some room for Pecan pie by not finishing out steak and potatoes. The pie was good, but not amazing. Highly recommend this steak house for everything, but keep your expectations down on the quality of the steak. read more

It had been forever since I'd been to Bones. Nice treat to go back. It was everything I remembered and more. First rate service throughout without being overbearing. Most of us had the fillets - all were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Had mushrooms, spinach, and broccoli for sides - they were great - especially the spinach. Had the hash browns based on waiter recommendation - only flaw in the entire night. They were not good - or certainly not up to the sky-high expectations that accompanied the recommendation. Great wine selection. read more

Took the husband here for his birthday one year. I would say it's your average expensive restaurant that isn't exactly worth the price but it is good enough to eat. read more

My wife and i attended bones for our 27th wedding anniversary, the food was outstanding, the waiter was on point from start to finish.I had the dry aged bone in ribeye it was cooked to perfection, my had the lamb chops the taste were amazing..cudoz to the chef for a incredible dinner !!!! Robbie &adrianne read more

Everything was excellent ! Food was amazing and service was very good . I loved the staff at Bones they made me feel very welcome on my birthday . I was really happy with everything. You have to visit even if just once . It's such a wonderful restaurant tucked away in buckhead. read more

I love the old steakhouse atmosphere! We had two very attentive waiters that were very professional. (I wish I saw more women working there though) my steak was cooked to perfection and the seared tuna was a highlight. To be honest the dish that blew me away was the.... wait for it.... collard greens! An absolute must have! They melted in my mouth and were full of the perfect flavors that collard greens have. I enjoy wine with my steak, and they had 1300 different wines, and came back promptly with the wine we selected. This is an issue with many restaurants I go to, telling me that they're out of stock etc but bones knew what they were doing. read more

4+ stars. Excellent steakhouse -- pricey but well worth it. Try the scallops, the crab & lobster napoleon, and of course the steaks. Be sure to order a side of hash browns! read more

Been to Bones a few tiems. Once with a large group and another with smallers groups and the family. It is very consistent. Service is great! Food is very good too. The ambiance and decor is great! Will definately go back but be prepared for a large check! read more

Great steaks and the sides are good. I'm just not sure that it is 5 star worthy. Just because you pay way too much for a steak does not mean you deserve 5 stars. Thanks for the memories though..... read more

A very nice classic steak house with a modern twist. The traditional expectation would be dark red/brown high back leather seat with mahogony wood panel wall. This is not, sketeches, cartoon and b&w photographs fill the walls. Furnitures are modern classic. Services was right on & fill with medium level jazz music. Prices, exceptional expensive ! High end steak house are just incredibly expensive these days, $65 a dry age bone in 20oz rib-eye, same price I paid in NYC or SF. Top of the spectrum. Quality, I think it's just a tad below the high-end, this dry age doesn't melt in my mouth like it should but it's nice & decent similar to Morton or Ruth which is about the same price too. Satuee spinach came out dead and almost brown, personally I like to see it green with some volume sitting up a little but not uncook, this does not. Onion soup was perfect to my liking, it's not salty, 80% time they were from other places, some might say it's blend, I think its right on. Wine are insanely expensive too, 2008 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cab is $33 a glass, I never seen them above $19 a glass anywhere else. This place is in Buckhead, lots of investor $, like my next table, all they talk about was how to buy up other people's loan and sell them over some margin around the world. Those people probably have plenty of investor $ to spend on a few dinner meetings like here. I want to give it a 4.5 stars but since it's not possible, I am ok leaving them 5 & probably going to be difficult to revisit. read more

Went here on a date. It was really great service. I ordered the scallops with the mushroom risotto and my Boyfriend ordered the shrimp cocktail, bone in ribeye, and the spinach. I loved the scallops,they were cooked to perfection, the risotto was way undercooked and lacked flavor. Risottos supposed to be a bit creamy and it was runny and crunchy. My boyfriend really enjoyed his food. I tasted his steak and wasnt too impressed. I felt that my brother in law cooked a better ribeye at home. I personally feel that some people in Georgia dont really know GREAT food. Id much rather just eat at Long Horn and call it a day lol read more

I had the strip and the filet mignon here, and they were both perhaps - no, definitely - the best steaks I have ever had. The filet melted in my mouth, it was so tender. The sides were also perfectly executed. Beautiful restaurant, very warm atmosphere. Service is attentive and spot on, like everything here. I've had more expensive, less enjoyable steak dinners that were still worth the money I spent. I will be back someday, if I ever return to the beautiful city of Atlanta. read more

Food Excellent But Waiter Wasn't I've eaten at Bones twice in the last few months, and a few times over the last several years. It has always been an outstanding premium steakhouse experience - except for this last visit. This is the reason I'm rating it 3 instead of 4 stars. Our waiter was terrible. Our reservation had been set - and changed several times for 2 months, so I really got to know the staff. They were always attentive and on point. When we arrived, we asked to be seated away from the bar - didn't want to smell cigars - yuk!. So, we were escorted to the wine cellar. That was no problem at all. I've eaten at bones many times, and have been seated in the main dining room, downstairs in private dining rooms, and this was my first time in the wine cellar. It wasn't crowded only two other parties besides ours were there. The food was excellent - and if the waiter had been as good as the food, I would rate this 4 stars. The fact that tobacco smoking is allowed in the restaurant - in 2013, will prevent this from ever receiving a 5 star rating from me. Appetizers: Scotch smoked salmon and jumbo lump crab meat -- both outstanding. The salmon was thinly sliced, served with red onions, capers, and dill cream on the side. The crab wad sweet and chilled perfectly. Both delicious! Mixed grills composed of a 6 oz filet, 2 large lamb chops, and a piece of pheasant sausage were awesome as well. The filet is prime, of course; mine was medium rare as ordered, and tender enough to cut with a fork. The lamb chops were incredible! Served with a wine reduction sauce, they almost steal the show from the filet! And the pheasant sausage is a nice complement to the two other stars of the plate. Although a little gamey for me, it's tasty enough! For dessert, we had the warm pecan pie and the chocolate torte. The pecan pie, served with ice cream and caramel sauce, is not traditional , it's thin, almost like a tarte, but it is very good! I should not have eaten it all - but I'm ashamed to say I did (sans ice cream)! My guest also enjoyed the chocolate torte - it was rich, intense, and dark, like chocolate should be. Our waiter, a young gentleman, was not a seasoned or tenured Bones waiter. I could tell because he had no stars on his jacket. Each red star represents 5 years, I believe. But, I was still opened minded to give him the chance to perform and serve to the Bones standard. Well, I knew we were in trouble when we had to ask to order appetizers, to which he responded, "I thought you were waiting on your other party to join!" Then, we had to ask for wine, which is ridiculous! And after we ordered our entrees, he walked by our table multiple times, but wouldn't make eye contact with us. I literally had to 'flag' him to get service for refills on wine or for service in general. Then, because we wanted to take the leftovers home, (scotch salmon, jumbo lump crab appetizer, bread, and mixed grills) - all before dessert, were just too much for two people to consume, he offered to pack it up for us. Only to disappoint again, by mixing up the sides. Overall, the poor service left us wondering if the waiter was intentionally ignoring us, or just inept. I did take time to tell the hostess, because I had never experienced any service that poor at Bones. But, I also tipped him the standard 20%, because I wanted him to know that I knew how to properly tip , even though I dipped him! I'll return, but the next waiter will have stars on their jacket! read more

The food was excellent. The service was great the only reason I would give it 4 stars was we had reservations for 8pm on a Wednesday and we got there early but we were not brought to our table until almost 830pm. I will definitely go again, the filet mignon is excellent! read more

Great steak, perfect service, high-end cozy atmosphere. If you have the money to blow on an expensive piece of meat then go for it! If you're strapped for cash you can definitely find more reasonable alternatives that have steak that's almost as delicious, such as Houston's which is only a mile or so away. read more

Bones was pretty much what I expected , great food, service and atmosphere. They had the table prepared and decorated for our anniversary and multiple people congratulated us which was a great touch. The steak was fabulous but a bit on the pricey side. The meal was maybe a little more expensive than similar places I've been but won't disappoint. read more

Completely amazing! From the excellent service to the stellar steaks, this place has it going on! Ordered the 8oz filet, oscar style with mushrooms and spinach. Cooked med-rare to absolute perfection. Also highly recommend the lobster bisque. read more

Best steak dinner of my life. We are still talking about our experience and it's been a couple weeks now. Bravo! Thank you Bones!

Fantastic place and atmosphere. Full menu at the bar. Steak cooked to perfection. Best collared greens I've ever had. All staff are welcoming and professional. Thank you John and Thomas. Sterling dining experience. Wish I could give 6 stars. read more

I never thought I would spend this much on a meal and have no regrets. This is the best meal I think I've ever eaten! The wagyu carpaccio is absolutely amazing. It's served on a cracker like crisp and has Boursin cheese and truffle oil. I order the dry aged bone in ribeye, and it was cooked perfectly! The flavor profile was ridiculous and it was very lightly seasoned (most likely salt and pepper). My wife had the bone in filet which was also delicious! The truffle mashed potatoes were to die for and the grit fritters are super rich and creamy! A+++ Don't forget to dress nicely! read more

See all

We went there tonight with my fellow co workers. The food was awesome and delectable. Our server was fantastic! We will be back!

If I could give 6 stars, I would. There are not enough positive words to describe this restaurant. Our waiters, Brian and Aaron, gave us the perfect amount of attention. The wine list was expansive and the bottle we chose was perfect. We had the bone-in ribeye for two and it was cooked just the way we requested. Everything from the starters to dessert was incredible. Yes, it's expensive but absolutely worth it for an outstanding meal. read more

My husband and I were visiting Atlanta and were recommended to try this restaurant by a friend. We were extremely pleased with both the expert service and the food. Each steak was cooked perfectly! We had the grilled asparagus and truffle butter mashed potatoes which paired very well with the main course. We'll definitely be back the next time we visit Atlanta! read more

Always a superior experience with service that consistently exceeds expectations and more-than-delicious food from Chef Leonard. Burger is the best in Atlanta. Lunch at the bar is nothing less than Thos-ome! read more

My go to place for all occasions. Love everything on their menu. Their service always rocks and is top notch. Thanks bones and team for the wonderful experiences.i have had. read more

This was my second time eating at Bones & after the first experience I knew I shouldn't have came back. Both times my party has had issues with the manager alex ( racists undertones with his words & actions) . We are a diverse demographic that isn't normally seen in Bones. I believe we were discriminated against by the manager Alex. Both times he profiled our party and it was a very unwelcoming& uncomfortable experience. I have NEVER received the negative service that I've received at Bones anywhere in the world. I don't normally make reviews either but The service I have received is not worth a penny. The previous time we are here the server tried to limit the amount of food we ordered ? If you're black I would not recommend this place. ( sad to say ) Alex is not a welcoming manager nor is the restaurant a welcoming place for people of color. I've ate every nice restaurant in Atlanta and have never had issues except at Bones. I would not recommend for people of color. I now know why the whole dining room lacks diversity in such a diverse city. I would recommend Marcel instead or one of the many fantastic steakhouses here. read more

It's yummy. Makes me feel tough. Great shrimp appetizer too. I wish the servers were less cheesy but maybe it's just the ones I had.

Old-school steakhouse, exceptional service, great food! Very interesting wine list gimmick, check it out!

So far, in my short life. My favorite restaurant on earth. I will never forget my evening at Bone's. Hope to have more!

Outstanding service. Great ribeye Mixed grill plate was okay -- I had to add a lot of salt for it to be tasty. Nonetheless, a great experience and would definitely return. read more

Went during the week with my female guest. Definitely a businessman's joint during the week. Had a reservation and arrived 10 minutes early but was seated 5 minutes late. Service was excellent and personable. Food was excellent and pricey. While the NY Strip was cooked perfectly, but I expect that from a top rated steak place. Sides were adequate, nothing spectacular. Went to the bar afterward and it was fast, personable and fun. I could see myself being a regular at the bar. Would return. read more

Classy place to have a steak and wine. Interesting and complete wine list on an I Pad.

Dry-Aged bone-in ribeye...just don't get any better. If I had to find anything to complain about, it was kind of smallish...but perfectly prepared with amazing salty char on the outside. Bone's salad is amazing, hash browns and mac/cheese were status quo. Wine list on Ipad is a blast. Impeccable service. read more

Flawless. ...Traveling on business to Atlanta Buckhead. Was alone so sat at the bar. Read the reviews on Yelp beforehand. Took the general recommendations from other reviews... Lobster Bisque (best I've ever had), 8oz. Filet prepared med-rare+ (perfect temp; could literally cut this steak with butter knife), Seadusted (salted) Baked Potato (better salt crusting than even the best salted baked potatoes I'm used to), Peacan Pie (like nothing I've ever had), coffee. The bartenders were quintisential, classic barmen. They worked in unison with such effortless sophistication I was simply in awe. Never overbearing, always 100% attentive. From start to finish this meal and experience was amazing. I was talking up my choices to my neighboring diners and think the bartender must have heard me. Or, maybe because I was dining alone. He comped my dessert as a good gesture. To sum up... Understated excellence. Sorry to those who had other experiences. Mine, however, is one I'll not soon ever forget. read more

I was invited to a private event at Bones this week. absolutely great service and one of the best 12 oz NY Strip Steaks I've ever had. Highly recommend going to Bones if your looking for a great meal in Atlanta. read more

Love this place! We've ate at so many steakhouses and this was very close to the top of the list. The ambiance is wonderful. There are wine nooks all around the restaurant and it is a quiet place for a romantic dinner. We had two filets, the spinach and the hashbrowns. All were simply delish! The steaks have a reduction on the plate that is soooo wonderful! The hashbrowns are crispy wonderfulness. Lovvvvvvved them! This is a can't miss place for red meat lovers in Atlanta. read more
