I have to say this place is quite good. The service is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The food was all good and I went with a crowd. It tends to be the standard steak house stuff but well executed. I will say that the stand out for me was the Creme Brulee ordered by one of my dining companions. If you've read my review of Etta's in Seattle you've heard tale of the brulee that sent goosebumps through this diner. Well the Cabernet's version was right up there, makes me want to go back to Seattle and get some more to compare. read more

Service was absolutely exceptional. Well informed, highly personable with just the right attention team of waiters. Meal was solid ... filet, bone-in ribeye, tuna sashimi app, wedge salad, Cabernet salad ... but did not "wow" when taking into account price and competition in the same category (Little Alley, Chops, Bones, Capital Grille). Nothing bad to say, very fare value but not overwhelmingly "must go back". Option to smoke a cigar in the bar is the biggest plus factor and, stand alone, with a whiskey the reason I'll be back. Highly recommend the bar for drinks and a smoke. Dining room is very loud ... great that it is busy but not easy to have a conversation. read more

Outstanding service every single time I visit here, which is always during the week for lunch. They have an express lunch menu and it's guaranteed to be 45 min or less. They have exceptional burgers for lunch as well. I usually go for the Bacon Bleu Burger. It is an upscale establishment and they do ask that you remove your hat if you're wearing one. Not a problem! I would like to visit for dinner some time and try a steak. read more

Cabernet - Shaved prime sandwich on the express lunch menu. - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Caveat, I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. I ate here today, 11/11/15 (Happy Veterans Day!!) with a group of 8 co-workers for lunch. We had been for dinner before, down in the wine cellar, so that we thought we would try lunch. First things first, the service is pretty spot on. Drinks were topped off consistently, the server was attentive, and plates were removed from the table as soon as it was apparent you were finished eating (a little too soon in the name of the bread basket, as I was still munching on that when they took it away!) I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger Medium Rare which came with coleslaw and french fries. When the food arrived, I dressed the burger and cut it in half. Beautiful Medium Rare burger. A co-worker also ordered a burger, but Medium, and it came out more rare than mine, so caution to the well done folks out there. While the burger could have used a touch more seasoning, it was nice and juicy and satisfied my burger cravings. Unfortunately, the same love was not given to the cole slaw and french fries. The cole slaw was of the very fine variety, and was woefully under-seasoned and under-dressed. The french fries we the typical frozen store bought without the slightest hint of seasoning or salt every touching them. They reminded me of a worse version of Steak and Shakes Fries. This was disappointing as I am a big believer that the sides are as very much important as the main, especially from a restaurant of this purported magnitude. The rest of the table got salads, soups, and a shaved prime rib sandwich. The groups sentiment was the same as mine where the main dish was good, but the sides (Where applicable) where an after thought. Would I go back? Yes, but I would skip the slaw and fries, and stick with the fresh veggies. Final Thought: When a great dinner place like this sells out and offers sub-par lunch items, it cheapens the brand as a whole. While I admire the lunch price point they are able to achieve, in my opinion some significant, yet minimal improvements can be made while remaining at the established price point. read more

Friendly, down to earth staff. I really enjoyed our waiter. :) You can't go wrong with a meat dish here. I had the prime rib french dip lunch special and it was SO good. I was full after the first half, but didn't have the heart to leave the rest. Must. Finish. ...and then have dessert. The creme brulee was a perfect 'light' finish. I love the caramelized topping and it was done to that just-right sweet and crispy. Perfect coating for the vanilla bean insides! Wish I didn't live so far away - I would definitely go back. read more

Came here for a quick lunch before my flight out of Atlanta. Told the waiter I was in a rush, ordered the prime rib sandwich, it came in in 5 minutes or less it feels like! The waiter was excellent and efficient. The atmosphere is upscale and a little dark. The sandwich itself was okay, I like lawry's better but it was decent. My guest who jointed me loved his special of the day kabob dish, so great experience! read more

One of the greatest steakhouses I have ever been to. Great food from the apps to the deserts. Incredible staff makes you feel at home. Can't wait to get an opportunity to get back and go in again. Definitely try the ship cocktail, lobster tails, or the crab cakes for an appetizer! Best part of the meal for me however was the perfectly cooked steak. I finished off with flourless chocolate cake. Only downside is that the part of the restaurant we visited had an over bearing smell of smoke due to the cigar bar being close. If that's your thing however, there's a definite plus to be had. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience. The servers were both knowledgeable and attentive. I had the herb-encrusted lamb lollipops to start. The lamb was tender and well flavored. My 12 oz. filet was cooked to perfection. I'm a rare or medium rare guy, and this was one of the best medium rare steaks I've ever had. Sides were grilled asparagus with hollandaise and potato gratin. Both were fantastic. I would highly recommend this place for a date night or an evening out. I noticed they have a cigar bar with live music, and I'd like to check that out at a later date. read more

Can't believe this place is still in business. Horrible food entire meal came out cold. Scallops fishy, chewy and previously frozen. Ribeye over cooked redone chewy poor quality meat. People need to try Pampas or Franky's for good quality meats and true steakhouse experience. Managers rude however did remove cost of our meal from bill. Our night ended at 8:15 with women vomiting in bathroom possibly from poor food or over served not sure which is worse!! Will NEVER go back nor recommend this place. read more

Amazing food and service. Love the Lobster and Scampi. Thanks Bo for the excellent service read more

Cabernet - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Truly surprised by the steak quality (or lack there of) after so many people raved about it on yelp. We ordered the salt crusted ribeye for 2 ($90). It's was 50oz, but we could hardly eat half of it. The meat quality was bad (chewy/fibrous), it was cold when it came out and the fat/silver skin was not trimmed. Frankly everything just tested stale. The fried lobster app was excellent though. We were not asked how the food was (left 1/2 of our steak on the plate). No where near worth the $140 paid for the meal for two people. read more

The restaurant was simply amazing! The food had the best most savory taste. one of the best I've had in a very long time. This restaurant is truly a five star world class and for the price you would truly expect it to cost more due to quality. I truly believe it is a great deal especially on Friday and Saturday nights when they have their pre-fix dinners for 4 courses. I was simply impressed! Will definitely go back! read more

This is a great steakhouse. Excellent customer service with good food seasoned just right. I'm glad I came here for dinner!! read more

Cabernet - Bone in ribeye, sautéed mixed vegetables, and sautéed mushrooms and onions. - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Great food. Tried their filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus. One of the best I had in a while. Topped it off with the black out cake. Heavenly!!! read more

Went for a busines lunch in the Wine Cellar private room downstairs from the main area. This was a quiet and very private room for about 20 at a long table. The room was finished with stacked stone and dark wood for a very classy feel. Fantastic place for a business meeting or private party. The bisque was tasty but I prefer mine with a bit more cream and a bit less seafoody. The french dip / sliced ribeye sandwich was everything you would hope one would be. The cole slaw was disapointingly bland. The major players in the meal were great, but the supporting cast was lackluster. read more

Some business partners from Equifax hosted us for drinks and dinner here (dinner in a private room upstairs) and without even wasting time going into detail, the whole experience was (surprisingly so for me), fantastic. Surprising because this place is basically in the woods, down the road from a mall in suburbia. Drinks downstairs in a windowed off bar that was quieter than the main dining room, oak paneled with private wine and cigar boxes to the left of the bar. Private dining upstairs with a brigade of servants monitoring from the corners to ensure our every need was met, but without being a nuisance, intrusion or overbearing. The meat choices, cuts, prep and display? Perfection. Good sized wine list with some well priced, delicious Pinot Noir's (my personal fav at the moment). Would recommend and return (hopefully when someone else is paying). read more

Was pretty good. Service really friendly (almost too much). Nice atmosphere. Side prices are a bit too expensive. I took the combo with the tempura lobster, and well, it was not really delicate. The meat was well cooked. Not really impressed by the desserts. read more

It's a traditional steakhouse with a cigar bar attached. I'm not sure if the other reviewers were not aware of this or not, but my husband and I went on a Sunday evening and didn't smell cigar smoke at all. The food was delicious and priced for that environment; if you've dined at Shula's, Ruth Chris, Morton's or somewhere similar, you know the price point and won't be shocked when you look at the menu. The drinks were stiff, and the wine delicious. The crab cake was to die for! read more

We love to go and eat at the bar where the atmosphere is a bit laid back with live music and exceptional service from the bartenders. Love the smoked salmon appetizer with dill cream sauce, capers and red onion. Ask for extra toast points! They often have great deals on bottles of wine at times. Never a bad experience here:) read more

Cabernet - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

How can you go wrong here (just don't look at the right side of the menu and it will be great dining). And they allow cigars in the bar. The staff knows how to make you feel welcome and make you feel like you're the only patron who matters. And the food - well, it's pretty good. Cabernet is known for being the place for steak, but the seafood is great - try the Chilean sea bass. As far as the cigars go, I believe there are only certain nights when cigar smoking is welcome in the bar. And when it is welcome, you can bring your own. If there's any downside to Cabernet, it is that parking can be a challenge on busy nights. But if you can afford Cabernet, you can afford valet parking. read more

I ordered the salmon and soup. The meal was exquisite. Simply superb. Chef was amazing. I loved the live band. Will definitely return soon. read more

Cabernet - The food and service was exquisite. I ordered the salmon and soup. The chef is amazing. I loved the live band & ambiance. - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

This is a decent place but a bit expensive for what you get. I have to reveal that we did not have steak. I did not like the salad it was poor quality raspberry dressing (as if it came from a bad grocery store bottle) and sort of ugly in how it was presented with strange spiced pears. My lamb was a mix of medium rare (which i ordered) and medium/well done (which I did not order) and weirdly cut up with some single rib and some double rib. The potatoes were the best part of the plate. My family both had two different types of scallops which they liked. The hot tea was not really hot and a bag in hot water. The wine was list was fine. Overall the lack of consistency and the many other options in the area for a decent meal said 2 stars to me. read more

Over all the food was good. I had a new York strip that had a good flavor to it. My wife had the chicken which she enjoyed. Mother and father had steaks which they said were great. Kevin was our waiter and the service was great. read more

Cabernet - This is the chicken with cheese rice and asparagus. - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Good Good Food. Service was good prompt professional, our server had that old world Italian flair,. $$$$/4 one of the most expensive meals we've had so far. Great steak. Had the 54 steak for 2 -very good and so much we took leftovers home, escargots-a little different than what I'm use to in puff pastry so it was good-ok, lump crab salad-yummy but not enough crab, side of asparagus-good, finished off with a table side display of the bananas foster. Love the show!!! WOULD DEFINITELY recommend and will DEFINITELY Come back (actually already did for lunch with the girls - still good overall but dinner has much better selection) Yum!!! read more

A great Valentine's Day dinner! Me and my baby out on valentines night expecting a very pleasant dining experience and for the most part we got what we expected. I wasn't blown away by the ambience nor the seating arrangements but the wait staff was courteous, detailed and overall catered to our needs. The hostess sat us in a less than favorable spot but we tolerated it until I finally got fed up with the small width of the center table for two and request to move to a larger one. I ordered a steak and Shelly ordered the fried lobster tail (her "last supper" choice). I can't say that I was blown away by the quality of my steak nor can I say that Shelly was blown away with the lobster tails but overall the food was above average. I can say that the pricing was within reason. Overall, other than the weird seating we were pleased with the restaurant. We plan to return read more

Cabernet is such a great place to go! Cigar bar side has nice ambiance. Great music! Service is great, people are friendly. The food, what can I say? Absolutely fantastic! This is upper-scale but it's great to go out there with some friends or for a date night. It's a reason to dress up. read more

Wonderful Valentine's dinner with the bae. Started out with mussels- a true delicacy. I had to dip my bread in the garlic, wine sauce they were in- they were that good. Next onto the classic Caesar salad. The dressing was a little bit too "mayonnaisey" for my taste but the lettuce was fresh. I had the fried lobster tails as main entree with shoe string fries flavored with Old Bay and OMG!! Mouth watering delicious! Love the atmosphere and the service was great. Must check it out. BTW if you are a cigar aficionado then you will love the bar area... read more

Cabernet - Amazing fried lobster tails and shoe string fries! Yum! - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

I visited Cabernet for a Christmas dinner. We reserved the wine cellar private room in the basement. We started with a delicious red wine and a seafood platter that included crab cakes, fried lobster tails, and shrimp cocktail. Yummy!!! I then ordered the lobster bisque which includes a lump crab garnish. It was good, but not amazing! I then ordered the lamb chops. I've never had larger lamb chops in my life!! They were seared perfectly, however, the chops could have been marinated a bit longer to ensure more flavor throughout the chop. Overall,the service was excellent and I enjoyed the eco read more

I was visiting Atlanta this week with my wife and couldn't wait to find a new steakhouse to try out. Was up in the Alpharetta area and found Cabernet. Upon entering the front door my wife noticed a smell (I called it a wonderful scent) which turned out to be cigar smoke coming from the bar area. We don't have such luxuries in Tennessee but I was excited to see that in Georgia you can still enjoy and meal and cigar in the same establishment. After the excitement wore off we (wife) requested seating away from the bar which was granted in the form of a lovely and huge half circle booth facing directly across from the bar but far enough away so the smoke was not an annoyance to my wife. Anyway, we enjoyed great food and wine, and experienced overall good service. The only thing that seemed unusual for such a nice restaurant was that neither of our servers came by to check on us the rest of our meal. Not to ask if my steak was prepared to my liking (it was more medium then medium rare) and not to ask if we needed anything else like maybe ketchup for the onion rings which would have been nice. I checked some other reviews and noticed some similar comments about not asking if food was prepared as ordered. This was the only misstep of the evening but a pretty big one in my mind. Maybe they'll get enough of these comments and consider doing a little extra training. Management should certainly be aware that restaurant patrons expect this kind of service particularly given their price point. Despite these comments I would definitely go back but next time I'll be sitting in the cigar lounge. Cheers! read more

We had 20 people for a birthday dinner. We were in a private dining room with dedicated servers. The food was very good, well presented,colorful and tasty. Chad, one of the servers took very good care of us, making sure that we had beverages appetizers and made sure the food was delivered hot. It was an enjoyable evening until it was time for the bill. At that time we were given one bill of close to two (2) thousand dollars. Let me say that at the beginning when the reservation was made, they were informed that each person would be responsible for their own bill with a certain amount guaranteed. The total bill exceeded that amount. We were left to try to discern the cost for each individual, county les,etc including the gratuities and taxes. After much discussion, they finally agreed to accept four credit/ debit cards. Since each person had a different offering, it took over an hour to attempt to make payment. I have been to restaurants throughout this country and abroad. But I never have had a bill present it to me in this manner. The manner in which this was handled, ruined the entire evening. This is a very poor manner of handling business. Even though I have been there several times during the last year and a half I will never return again. read more

Consistently a good place to eat. They have a really nice wine list and a decent dessert menu. Also a good balance of steak and seafood option. Worth a visit while in the area. read more

Stopped in for lunch, food was okay but the wait on the food was abysmal. We (party of four) arrived at 11:45 and didn't get our food until 1:15. Blackened shrimp came out just plain grilled, and salmon was dry. Friend's asparagus was over cooked, unseasoned, and mostly stalks. Overall a disappointing experience. read more

We were there the night of the Belmont Horse race, the man behind the bar said to bet on the horse that just took a crap because he should be happy and run fast. That should have been a signal to leave. 25 minutes after we got to our table we had to ask the young lady at the front desk to send us a server. Our server must have been new and without training. The food was lukewarm at best. If you have a choice between Cabernet and Golden Corral the choice is easy, go to Golden Corral. This place offers less than adequate service and not so good food. Go back? Never. Great atmosphere, greatly overpriced for the dining experience. Had to ask for wine list. Had to ask for more bread. Did not offer dessert nor a dessert menu. This place was a major disappointment. J.Campbell read more

Cabernet - Steakhouses Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

There's a reason why I am the duke here, and will continue to be (if I remember to check-in). This is probably the best steak, scotch, and cigar lounge north of the Perimeter. (See my other reviews for other steak places OTP, this ranks up there in the Top 2.) The atmosphere is upscale and classy; a great place to take clients out. I usually sit in the closed off cigar lounge/bar, as it feels a little bit more laid back and open than the main floor, but doesn't lose it's class. If you don't like smoke, don't sit back here, but if you're a cigar aficionado this is the place to be. They have a great scotch selection, from many of the different scottish isles. Laphroaig and Lagavulin are my favorites (ranging from $16-25/glass). To pair with your scotch, they have a decent list of cigars from shorts to Churchills. Food? Downright amazing. The appetizer sampler comes with some super fresh lobster, that is killer blackened. Oysters are always fresh, and the chicken kebabs are pretty flavorful. But the steak is really where Cabernet shines. Cabernet is one of the few places I can go and order a Chicago medium without the server looking at me weird. Not only that, the chefs really know how to do a proper Chicago - a perfect 1/8" of seared/charred steak encasing a hot pink/red center. So much flavor, and super tender. I've also had a NY Strip Pittsburgh, and it was a perfect crust with a that nice warm rare center. I don't know how they do the crust on a Chicago and Pittsburgh, but it has so much flavor. Expect to spend a dime here, but if you want a great Pittsburgh or Chicago steak, they do a killer job. read more

Best restaurant ever!!!!!! Seriously my favorite place in Alpharetta. Great service, amazing food, great ambiance. Definitely give this place a try if you are looking for something special read more

Very very disappointed in this restaurant! 2 days before prom they cancel my son's group's reservation. Now we are scrambling to find a restaurant that can seat 6 at 6 pm in the Alpharetta area! You teach them to do the right thing and make the reservation and then have a restaurant do this. Totally unacceptable! read more

I normally visit Cabernet because it is one of the few places that allow cigars and has a full bar. The bar is comfortable and the staff is courteous. The outdoor patio is also a nice place to relax. I've only had the appetizers but they have always been excellent. No complaints. read more

What a wonderful evening. The atmosphere was pure steakhouse, the service was extremely attentive and genuine, and the food superb. Had the spinich salad to start, had a couple of spoonfuls of lobster bisque, and aplit a filet and fried lobstrr tails with my husband. The reco.mended wine was on sale and quite delicious! The only item not outstanding was the bisque. Panos and Pauls also here in Atlanta is by far the gold standard l eaving tonight's a C+/B-. I Would highly recommend Cabernet to anyone. read more

This is a big money happy hour and dinner spot. The cigar bar has a rich deep cigar essence with ESPN on all the TVs. Vast cigar selection. The section off the cigar bar from the dining area. I'm now gonna lie the high end places are very similar. Not a bad thing because they are very consistent. Meat and potatoes good desserts. I have had the Ribeye, lobster pasta, crisp potato, oysters, and cream spinach. The lobster pasta stands out. The dish is four mini lobster tales surrounding spaghettis pasta tossed in tomatoes, spinach and garlic. Simple and lobster makes anything good. I do like this place. But i need to move a few more packs before I can afford to consistenly come here. read more
