    Strip and Mac and Cheese
    Tim G.

    Did someone say prohibition? This place is fantastic. You first need to get below street level to enter. After that a bar and then series a series of rooms. Food was amazing. Service was on point. Definitely worth checking in.

    Steak burger with onion rings and pepperjack cheese
    Seema Z.

    This is one of the long-standing restaurants in Virginia highland. It's got a very British Irish speakeasy bar White. Once you enter from the street level you can walk downstairs and there's a huge bar selection with ample seating. The dining area is separated from the bar. We were seated right away on a Tuesday evening. They had a steak burger on the menu which I tried and it was fantastic. The onion rings dough was strictly average and the french fries are also average but better than onion rings. The parking lot behind will valet for tips. Otherwise street parking is very hard to find. I understand Mondays and Tuesdays are their busiest days but will definitely come back on the weekends to see if they have other specials. I tried to visit these local owned restaurants, do try to stop by

    TAP'S FAMOUS STEAK OSCAR (side of mashed potatoes and asparagus)
    Caroline Y.

    This is our FAVORITE casual but consistently good date night spot. It's a non pretentious steak house that has excellent steak. Their "famous steak Oscar" (filet mignon medallions topped with lump crab meat) is the absolute best. Their beef carpaccio app is incredible -- thinly sliced raw beef that is so tender, topped with garlic aioli and capers, and paired with toasted mini sliced baguettes -- melt. In. Your. Mouth. Their fried calamari is also delicious, standard, good calamari. We also love the smoked trout dip -- great to share! Their wedge salads are also consistently delicious. Whatever you do, if you drink, GET THE MARTINIS. The espresso martini is SO SMOOTH, slightly creamy. Just perfection. You get a martini glass and a side car mini carafe to refill, so it feels like two drinks! They also make a mean dirty martini. Finally, the chocolate peanut butter pie is to die for. So creamy, perfect balance of chocolate and PB. This place is perfect for a girls night out or date night. On busier nights, get a reservation ahead!

    Prime rib with a loaded baked potato
    D.F. C.

    We have been enjoying prime rib Monday at Highland tap. Can't say that it is the best prime rib that I have ever had but it is very good for the price on Monday evening. Service is pretty solid and the atmosphere is lively. Only complaints is that the loaded baked potato has, at times, been a little hard and overdone.

    Heard about this local spot and been meaning to try it as I live locally now. Ordered the prime rib and honestly it lacked seasoning on the crust (edges). I love prime rib and I've had it many times at different spots but although this one was cooked to perfection for my liking, the flavor wasn't impressive, hence the 3 stars. The sides were delicious tho - 4 stars. I sat at the bar and both bartenders were top shelf, very attentive service - 5 stars. The beer selection was good and sitting at the bar was comfortable. Definitely has a local pub feel and I loved that! Will be back and will try the prime rib again, maybe it was an off night and I really want to like it. 4 stars overall!

    Oyster OYSTERS ROCKEFELLER, 6 EACH - it was ok
    Britney C.

    Chose Highland Tap for a birthday dinner bc they have Tomahawk steak & open late. Parking is either street or valet at Wells Fargo for $10 but valet closes at 11pm. We went on Friday at 930 and the bar was poppin', very loud and the dining area starts by the bar & goes back. If you're looking for a spot to use your inside voice, this isn't for you. Appetizers we had the oyster Rockefeller and spinach dip. It was ok, cheese could have been more toasted at the top, same for the spinach dip. Bread that came with dip was ok. For cocktails, had their Maple Old Fashioned - tasted the bourbon, it was good. Prior to ordering the Tomahawk, I asked our server about it. For $80 I wanted it to be dang near perfect from the seasoning to the cook. Our server didn't seem to confident, but we went for it as that is what the bday boy wanted. When it hit the table, looked good, nice cook on the meat. Unfortunately, it was not seasoned...not a trace of salt. We had to use the salt at the table and get A1, very disappointing. The side of loaded mash was tasty. Our other friend had the salmon and said that it was also lacking salt. We took the remains of our dishes to doctor up at home. Perhaps their smaller cuts of steak are better prepared, I wouldn't choose this place for tomahawk again. I may be back on Monday to try the prime rib special. Big maybe though.

    THE ORIGINAL STEAK BURGER

    Drinks are a great price. They give you a little extra in a smaller shot glass and it basically is a whole extra drink! Food is solid. Cream mussels were delicious. Original steak burger was cooked perfectly and huge. Would love to try the steak next time I visit Atlanta.

    Prime rib with mushrooms, side of "loaded" mashed potatoes with just the cheese and sour cream.
    Samantha E.

    This place is a staple. It can be a tad loud but we always have good service and a good time. Shane took great care of us last time. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. If you like prime rib, it definitely scratches the itch. The drinks aren't the best, but they make a nice classic dirty martini that comes with a little extra in a sidecar. Overall, it's a good night out.

    Food seems good service ok old man behind the bar rude!! Ambiance spot on! Will I go back yea but only for the food the rest of it needs change.

    Blackened prime rib special
    Kevin W.

    Parking in this neighborhood is not the best. There is a parking lot with valet parking for the customers. You can find street parking in the neighborhood. It never takes me long to get parking but I hate finding parking this way. You can clearly see the venue from the street at the corner. You must walk downstairs for the establishment. Please watch your step. Bar is huge and has a ton of drinks. Two people were manning the bar and they were busy the entire time. The service was still good. I ordered a Manhattan which was strong. The drink came in a martini glass and another on a chiller. Biggest bang for your buck. It was Monday so I got the Prime Rib special (10oz) blackened with a loaded baked potato. I sent the Prime Rib back to be cooked more because it was cold. It tasted good once I got it back.

    The food was poorly presented and the place was very dark. The high price doesn't match the quality of the food.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

    Italian Steakhouse Says It All - The Best of All Worlds…read more Walked into IL Premio on a Monday night and was told there was an hour wait for a table, so I headed to the bar- fortunately, a seat was open. I started with one of my favorite Reposados by Herradura. For my Crudi, I ordered the Ricciola alla Puttanesca, what i thought was going to be a classic Italian seafood dish that traditionally features ricciola (Italian amberjack) in puttanesca sauce. The menu noted it was made with yellowtail, which piqued my curiosity. I expected the ricciola to be pan-seared or lightly grilled and finished with the sauce, or served with the sauce spooned over the top. To my surprise, the dish arrived as thinly sliced raw yellowtail, presented sashimi/crudo-style. Each slice was topped with a small amount of sauce infused with capers, Taggiasca olives, Calabrese chiles, and possibly sun-dried tomatoes, all classic puttanesca ingredients. Microgreens completed the presentation. This could be described as a "ricciola crudo with puttanesca-style garnish" rather than a traditional cooked ricciola alla puttanesca. Essentially, the chef uses the puttanesca flavor profile (capers, olives, chiles, tomato, oil) as a raw topping instead of cooking the fish in the sauce. While it's raw, it's a modern, crudo-style interpretation inspired by puttanesca flavors and I'm a fan. I'll order it again and again. For my Secondi, I had the Risotto ai Funghi, a classic Italian dish featuring creamy arborio rice with shiitake and hen-of-the-woods (maitake) mushrooms and a hint of lemon. Served piping hot, it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For dessert, I enjoyed another Reposado by Herradura. IL Premio is so much more than a steakhouse. The food is thoughtfully prepared, the atmosphere is refined, service by Janlan was excellent and it is a fitting restaurant for an outstanding hotel property.
