We had dined at Cabernet a long time ago, around when they first opened. We had moved a few times and it had not been a convenient choice since then. However, we were staying at the hotel next door to attend an event in Alpharetta, so we just opted to walk over for dinner beforehand. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance. We were dining a bit early due to the later timing of the event we were attending, and when we arrived (5:30 p.m.) it was not crowded. However, by the time we left (after 6:30 p.m.) it was almost full. They seemed to have valet parking which we didn't need. I'm not sure if self-parking is an option. The interior is dark wood and subdued lighting. There is a main dining room you face as you enter. To the left is a cigar bar which is glass-walled off to separate it (including the air). I did notice a faint aroma of cigars, but not of smoke. Think of what a box of cigars smells like. It was hard to pick up, but was sort of there in the background. Not unpleasant. The staff greeted us when we arrived and seated us. The wait staff had a sort of tag-team approach, which was fine. There was one lead server but others would also stop by with food, beverages, etc. My wife opted for the sea bass, which she enjoyed. I got a small steak, which was also good. We split a spinach salad which we both liked. Sides were shareable so we split a very large twice baked potato. We also ended up splitting a chocolate and peanut butter dessert. Everything was high quality. They have a full bar with not-unreasonable pricing. Pricing was about what you'd expect for this level of dining. It did not feel out of line, but was not an 'everyday' place, at least for us. If you are looking for a good fine dining option in the Alpharetta area, this is a good one. read more

I visited Cabernet Steakhouse for my fiancée's birthday, and the experience was absolutely outstanding! The decor was romantic and intimate inside. The food was incredible, and the steaks were seasoned to perfection. Every bite was delicious! But what truly left me speechless was the exceptional service. This visit has been the BEST experience with service and the food tasting phenomenal. Robert was a tremendous help, and the entire staff was attentive, pleasant, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make my fiancée feel special on her birthday, and I truly appreciated the personal touches. Thank you to the entire team for making my fiancée's birthday celebration so memorable. I had an amazing time and will definitely be back! read more

Beautiful restaurant that we went for lunch. This is my critique on everything we ate: 1. Carpaccio- excellent 2. Shrimp Scampi-very good 3.Prime Rib sandwich au jus-below average. The restaurant said that it was shaved beef, NOT!!! Chunks and way overcooked!!! Unfortunately, I will not go back, as there are so many other amazing restaurants in the area. read more

One of the best filets that I have ever had, cooked to perfection. The ambiance and service is second to none when visiting the ATL area. if you're looking for an extraordinary dinner, experience, and an ambiance you'll never forget, Cabernet is it. read more

Cabernet - 8 Oz Filet Mignon and lobster tail - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

This was my first time visiting the restaurant but the other 5 people in our party had all been here before. We were celebrating a very big birthday for someone and I had heard good things but my overall experience was ok but not great. - No bread plate on one of the place settings. - wait staff was slow to get drinks or get back to us for drinks. They didn't take empty glasses from the table when they brought new drinks. The waiter would ask one person if they needed drinks but not others who were clearly out. They should have checked on the whole table. - Caesar salad was good. - On the main entree's, 4 out of the 6 plates came out at one time without the rest of the parties plates coming out. Had to wait about 5 mins for the other two plates, which caused some items to not be as hot as they should have been. Time frame management appeared to be off in the kitchen. - Lobster scampi was good. - Petite Filet was cooked to correct temperature and tasty. - Prime NY Strip 10 oz was cooked perfectly but the overall taste was a little less than I was expecting for a prime NY Strip. - Creamed spinach was very good along with the Brussel sprouts. Asparagus with hollandaise was ok but the hollandaise was cold and hollandaise sauce should be warm when served--never cold. Bathrooms were clean. Pastries were good. Chocolate ganache was the least favorite but the cheesecake, homemade vanilla gelato with strawberries was very tasty. Carrot cake was great. Crème brûlée was probably my favorite. They did apologize about the service as they said that there was a big party that took a lot of their time. Even a manger came over and apologized. They took 25% off the bill for the Inconvenience. However, this shows that they were probably attentive to their every detail and forgetting about trying to take care of those smaller groups or tables that make up a majority of their business. Bartenders in the cigar/bar area of the restaurant were great, very attentive and quick with their drinks, which is more than I could say for the wait staff at our table. Musician in this area was great. read more

Another amazing dining experience! Came here for a business dinner with colleagues. The ambience was great. My only qualm is that there is an inclosed section off of the dining room that allows cigar smoking. I'm not a fan of cigars but it wasn't a deal breaker. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, oysters, and fried lobster tails as appetizers. I ordered the daily special which was the 14 oz Wagyu and it was cooked to perfection! A bunch of shareable sides like the creamed corn, broccolini, Brussels, and other items. Ended with a few desserts including the chocolate ganache cake. Service was top tier! I will absolutely come back next time I'm in Alpharetta read more

Three stars because we were very disappointed this time mostly because it's supposed to be an experience in an "upscale steakhouse " Not anymore. There were customers in jeans, shorts, crocs, sandals , sneakers, and baseball caps. When we asked the manager about the dress code, which we adhered to ( dress and suit) she essentially stated that NOW most attire is permitted other than wifebeater t-shirts and caps, which obviously is not true as a person walked past in a dingy baseball cap as she was mentioning such. It truly lessened the experience, especially when we are paying over $175.00 to $200.00 for a meal and ambience. . We won't be returning. Very disappointed. The food was good and the service okay. Our server was clearly new because she didn't know the menu and which soup was what. We still tipped her 40.00 because everyone deserves to be paid..Very disappointing. read more

We have our monthly dinner five of us Dinner first. Cigars and Bourbon thereafter. Been doing that for at least the last 8-10month. There policy is if you smoke your own cigars there is a $10 charge, for the entire time we have been enjoying our time there they never in forced that policy UNTIL this past Monday night. The 18th. We all over sudden with out letting us know they but the $ 10 on the bill what's not an issue about the $10 BUT if the bartender was good enough to let us know we could have purchased a cigar and we all would have won. We questioned him his answer was his boss told him so. Not even going back to his Boss letting him know 4 out of five people where unhappy, Poor training or just don't care since business is very good ! That's how the hospitality industry is getting a bad rap!! Enjoy the extra $ 40 hope it was worth it. Ask when you're going to the Bar if the policy is OFF or ON. MC Holzer read more

What an experience! I called ahead to remind the service staff that we were celebrating an anniversary and they did not disappoint. The ambiance was incredible. Pretty lighting, beautiful and clean bathrooms, and they even had a cigar bar! We decided to split the rock crusted ribeye and it did not disappoint! My family recommended this spot to me and we are very glad we made a stop here we will definitely be coming back. read more

Visited during a restaurant week and were very impressed. Great service, and the menu of calamari, filet and choc cake was perfect. My mid-rare filet was a touch overcooked but that's being a bit picky. We will definitely return soon. read more

Cabernet - Alpharetta Restaurant Week menu - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Hubby surprised me with a surprise date for our anniversary! So I had no idea where we were going. I've never heard of this place or knew what to even expect. Parking: free valet parking First impression: I was not very impressed to say the least lol. As soon as you walk in, there is another door to a cigar smoking room. It's very faint (to some, not me) but you can smell it. And I know most people who come here would know that but I had no idea. It reminds me of being in a casino restaurant lol. But otherwise, the place has old school vibes and upscale ambiance. Food: Fresh Oysters 10/10. They're huge! Cabernet sampler: included 2 fried lobster tails, shrimp cocktail, & crab cake. Delicious! 22oz bone in ribeye medium rare. It was cooked to PERFECTION. I love that didn't try to get fancy and salt the heck out of it. I hate when my steak taste salty. Creamed corn: 6/10. Brussels sprouts: 5/10. Good flavor but we wished it was crispy. Overall: I'd probably come back. But asked to be seated somewhere on the other end away from the smoking room. read more

This place is very nice and very fancy. There is valet parking or you have to pay for parking if you don't do valet. Overall the food is pretty good. The filet was great but the ribeye was tough and dry. I wasn't a big fan of that. The twice baked potato was AMAZING. It was so good. The creamed spinach wasn't that great. I would personally skip that side. The crème brûlée and peanut butter chocolate cake was great! I would also like to shoutout Lemonte (not sure about spelling) but he was honestly the nicest waiter I have ever had. He was great and he represented this restaurant well. It was fantastic service. read more

I'm surprised by the reviews here presently averaging to a 3.8. Ive been here several times and the food and service is very good to excellent. "Not perfect" but again the 5 stars on YELP is for "great" and 4 stars is for "good", 3 "ok". IDK i feel people may be judging this place a bit harshly. Given the quality of the food and the attentive service, I think this place has very good value for an Atlanta area steakhouse. I also enjoy the ambiance. I do admit, some hiccups here and there with the food. One time my prime rib was more medium than medium rare, but this was addressed and I had a new proper medium rare steak in front of me within a few minutes. Also, they did a great job on the patio for my rehearsal dinner in 2023. Everyone was impressed with the appetizer platters and entrees and wine/beer service. read more

Good food. Excellent service. Cigar smoke and permeating smoky smell in the main room is a deal breaker. Will not return.

Went to dinner with 3 friends. The miso glazed grouper was excellent but the lobster scampi was really chewy and didn't seem fresh. The wine selection (by the glass) was good. The real problem was the noise level. When you are at a table for 4 you should be able to have a conversation with all 4 people. This was extremely difficult. read more

Excellent dinner at Cabernet this week! This was my first time dining at this restaurant in a few years, and it's still as good as I remember. Sitting inside you feel like you're in a great steakhouse and the meal lives up to it. Our party of 4 each ordered steak. I went with a 12 oz filet, medium rare, with brandy peppercorn sauce. Outstanding! The steak was cooked perfectly. Sides of creamed spinach, twice baked potatoes, and mashed potatoes, made for a memorable meal. We had to of course, order a nice bottle of Cabernet, and Brandlin from Napa Valley was perfect. If you're in Alpharetta and looking for a great dinner, I highly recommend Cabernet! read more

We had a group of 8 last night for dinner and everything was awesome!! From being greeted and seated to drinks and ordering to getting our food was great.

We will be back sometime, just not sure when. read more

Celebrated our 22nd anniversary. Chose 2019 Faust for $95. The waiter brought us a 2022 bottle. It was questioned ... they said were out of 2019 and they brought an Animo 2019 Cabernet and said it's about equal to Faust 2019. Things were going well until their water boy dumped our bottle onto the floor after we were only poured 1 glass each. We told the waiter who told the manager and things seemed taken care of until we were charged for two $95 bottles...and it took forever to get it corrected on the bill. What the manager ended up doing was charge the bottle price from. $95 to $125 for their mess up. We waited a long time and decided we were done with the games. Paid the bill and left the Cabernet and our leftovers with them. Not worth the time and BS. We won't be back. Seems like a silly game they play when they screw up. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cabernet, the restaurant, staff, manager, and even the restrooms! First of all, we were mistakenly an entire day early and the Manager, Jason was wonderful in accommodating us! I also made them aware that I suffer from severe seafood/shellfish allergies, when I say they took such thoughtful care of me! Oh yeah, when we entered the restaurant, Jason and the hostess excitedly greeted us! Then we met our servers, Vio & Tyler....OMGGGGG!! The entire encounter with them was so engaging and pleasant! Their customer service skills were superb! I've just found my new favorite restaurant and I am so pleased my Hubs chose this delightful gem for our date night! We will most certainly be putting Cabernet in the repertoire! Y'all check it out, you'll be elated you did!!!! read more

The service was excellent! Our server, Robert was so kind and accommodating however, the food... so so. My husband was pleased with his steak. I ordered the lobster scampi. It lacked the scampi flavor I am accustomed to (not enough garlic, butter, or herbs). Our adult beverages were delicious! The ambiance is REALLY nice (music could've been just a little louder), but all-in-all, it was a good experience. read more

Im sure the food is fine but the stench of cigar smoke made me simply turn around and walk out. If you hate cigar smell, dont book.

Always have a great experience! Been coming here for 20+ years. Great wine selection and you must try the Rock Salt Marinade Steak. One of the best I've tried. And the wait staff is excellent. Always taken care of. Can't say enough good things. read more

Dining early on a Saturday night, Cabernet scored a 5 out of 5 on our steak & fish dinners, with professional & friendly service from a great team of individuals. The dining room has well spaced tables & soft lighting & as the room filled with patrons noise level remained muted. Ala carte & inclusive selections are available with Cabernet's menu providing excellent value for those looking for an inclusive meal. My 10 0z NY strip steak was perfectly grilled & accompanied by excellent garlic chive mashed potatoes & a small Caesar salad. The big surprise was that the fish offerings are not limited to just grilled salmon - a welcome surprise indeed ! read more

Best Keylime pie I've ever had. This evening was to celebrate our 27th anniversary and it made for a wonderful memorable, night. Highly highly recommend! read more

Love Cabernet Steakhouse! Hate Cabernet brunch!!!!! We love and visit Cabernet often. We thought Mothers Day brunch would be special. It is displayed like a high school cafeteria and food is not good. They advertise chateaubriand, none existed. Peel and eat shrimp, desserts that looked like they came out of a soup kitchen. Enjoy a regular menu dinner, but SKIP any buffet special. They are just not set up for it. Extremely disappointed!! read more

Nice for date night. Food was great and so was the service. If you smoke cigars they have a separate bar room for this. I would recommend bringing your own sticks , their selection is small but good. read more

Came to Cabernet for a team dinner after work. I was surprised to see everyone is required to valet. I don't think I've ever seen such a thing for a suburb restaurant. We were sat promptly in the service was fantastic. They strangely only brought one drink menu for six of us. We all had to share until they brought us another. The specials they offered were great and several of us took advantage. We successfully shared the tomahawk between three people. Not a single person was disappointed with their dish. They perfectly prepared one of the steaks to the temperature of blue, which is cooler than rare. I know the guest loved it. Important to note the acoustics are not great. It can make conversation difficult at the peak hours of the night. Neat feature: I was shocked to see it was a cigar bar with its own area for smoking. I don't think I've seen one of these in a long time. I can say I successfully did not smell any smoke while sitting there. Though it does smell like they are using some type of freshener that gives off a weird antifreeze smell. read more

This is one of our go-to restaurants here in metro Atlanta. This is an elite steakhouse OTP. We come here often. The food quality is phenomenal. The steaks are great. The sides are well portioned and delicious. The appetizers are plentiful and tasty. And let's not forget the desserts. The Bananas Foster is an event and truly enjoyable. The service here is off the charts. They are quite attentive and always make sure that our needs are met frequently. Also, they make great recommendations for their menu and wines. The ambiance can be loud at times and sometimes you may get a whiff of cigar smoke from the bar. It doesn't bother me that much, but I know others may not like it. I give this restaurant one of my highest recommendations! read more

This place was good but not great. We came for a late father's day and the server was wonderful. She was super attentive and friendly and patient with us and I really wanted to love the food but my entree was ok in my opinion My husband and I got the rock salt herb ribeye 27 oz to share and it was a huge portion but this steak was so sweet. Like, it tasted like they dipped it in sugar instead of salt. It had no saltiness at all, just sweet and I tasted nothing but the sweetness, no herb flavor really. My dad got the prime rib so we dipped the ribeye in his horseradish sauce just to hide the sweetness. The meat had a nice texture amidst huge pieces of fat in the middle. my dad's prime rib was medium but was more like medium well & dry for a prime rib cut. I did like the twice baked potato, it was very creamy & delicious My brother got the chicken and I kinda wanted that instead of the ribeye. It was juicy and tender and so flavorful. We also had an order of fried lobster which was ok.. sauce was also pretty sweet on this. My parents liked their entrees ok so we may come back and try something else so might get the regular ribeye as I saw some other reviews mention it was better read more

Excellent filet and perfectly cooked. Service is tops! Great drinks too. Classic steakhouse vibe with smoking cigar bar and lounge.

Date night is definitely something I look forward to and more so I look forward to venturing out to new restaurants! After doing some digging and researching I decided that making a reservation here would be good! Well I was wrong. Upon arriving it gave me an old-school steakhouse feel with dark wooded interior. The greeter was very nice and showed us to our table and it seemed that they had tables spaced out for social distancing which was nice. To start off we ordered a margarita and a glass of Malbec. My Malbec arrived shortly but it took about 20 to 30 minutes for my husband's margarita to arrive and we had to ask the waiter twice to check on it. Luckily they put extra tequila in it to apologize for the wait...nice touch. Attached to the restaurant is a cigar bar but each time that the door was opened by staff going in and out from the dining room, the cigar smoke started to fill the dining room which was unpleasant for me as I was eating. They definitely should have another entrance to access that bar area! The food: She Crab soup was really good! (2 stars for that) Hubby finished his lobster scampi but said it was meh with the tiniest lobster tails we have ever seen. I had the 8oz filet and added the "Oscar". Well when It arrived I can say that I have never seen filet mignon Oscar style with a crab cake on top? Ummm...I know Oscar to be lump crab meat, asparagus, topped with béarnaise. NOT HERE! I guess they have their own definition. Wished that was clear prior to ordering. I ordered a second glass of Malbec to eat with my food and it never showed up! I didn't even bother asking again... We all want to go out and have a wonderful time during this pandemic but we want to feel safe at the same time! You will not find this here. Staff talking to patrons with masks hanging from one ear, masks on chin, or not wearing one at all is completely irresponsible and damn right scary! I looked over through the glass window where the bar was and there was a singer dancing with unmasked patrons and a unmasked bartender laughing and making drinks! TRULY UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! Come to this place if you believe COVID-19 has disappeared and you want expensive mediocre food. I'll pass on dining at this establishment again. read more
