    KR Steakbar remains one of our absolute favorites. This Italian steakhouse hits the mark for any occasion--whether it's a casual bite at the bar, a family dinner, or a more exclusive, private evening. The menu delivers across the board: Italian classics, beautifully cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and flavorful veggie dishes. We especially love the patio when the weather's right--it's such a gem. While my husband and I go as often as we can, this was our first time bringing my dad and stepmom, and they were big fans, though I do have some recommendations on a few dishes... The spinalis cut of steak is a must--easily the best in Atlanta, in our opinion. Always perfectly cooked and served with a whole grilled garlic clove and a lemon half. New items we tried this visit: * Wagyu carpaccio - Fantastic flavor, though the thin slices could use a better utensil for easier handling. * Tuna appetizer - Nice idea, but we'd have preferred more cucumber and brightness, and less of the hummus base. Flavor profile was pretty flat. * Trout entrée - A bit overcooked, and the arugula beet salad was soggy, but it was still enjoyable overall. * Classic basil pasta & cacio e pepe - As always, both were absolute home runs. Shoutout to our waitress--she was incredible. I wish I'd caught her name, but she was young with gorgeous red curly hair. Truly one of the best servers we've had anywhere.

    Back again. Been thinking about the ribeye. It's a bit fatty tho. The mushrooms were good

    Dinner at KR Steakbar was wonderful! I made reservations previously on Resy. The restaurant is located in the Peachtree Hills neighborhood in Buckhead. The restaurant itself is really sleek with dark lighting. There were lots of diners for a Thursday which was a great sign. They offer valet parking. The waitress introduced herself almost immediately after we were seated. She went over the specials for the evening and asked if we had any questions. I chose the "Appleasure to Meet You" cocktail which was delicious. It consisted of apple infused tequila, botanicals and sherry. We shared a Caesar salad before our entrees arrived. I ordered the spinalis and my husband chose the 20 oz. Ribeye. We shared the pappardelle and eggplant fries. Everything was great, but the spinalis was phenomenal! It's on of the best steaks I've had. The egg plant fries were unique and were dusted with powdered sugar. I ended the night the fabulous brown sugar cheesecake. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend coming here for a date night or special night out. Each staff member that we encountered were extremely welcoming and friendly.

    Truly an incredible experience with dim lighting and delectable dishes. Setting: There's both an open-kitchen and speakeasy in the back. My partner chose this spot for the open-kitchen, but we got seated in the speakeasy. No complaints though, it was an intimate vibe! Service: Our waiter was kind, meticulous, and very efficient. Food: We ordered the arancini, trumpet mushrooms, and the filets (6/8 oz). All of them were well-flavored and paired nicely.

    Let's meat up @ one of the best Steakhouses in Atlanta. @krsteakbar by @chefkevinrathbun is a hidden gem tucked in Buckhead. It's an Italian Steakhouse w/ a cozy & chic ambiance. There's complimentary valet, just make sure to tip themBeautiful outdoor garden patio, I just love the vibes here. It was packed even on a Tuesday's night lol. Shoutout to Ariel for taking great care of us. I highly recommend to get the Wagyu Carpaccio & the Spinalis. The Spinalis with roasted garlic & balsamic was cooked to perfection. Just on the other side of the kitchen lies a hidden speakeasy "The Bureau" but it's only open on the weekend. I love speakeasies so def will be back to check it out (:

    Mmmmmmmmm.

    Traveling Chef, in Atlanta for two months, and my hotel was two miles from this place. Came in one night after looking for a good steakhouse that wasn't Ruth's (you know who), and the like. this place knocked my socks off. from the cocktail menu, which was fantastic, to the upscale, yet unpretentious atmosphere, it was awesome. And the food........ best meal I've had ATL, hands down. The filet was unbelievably tender, and overperfectly cooked. but the Brussels with lemon preserves and calabrese... damn I wish I had thought of that. Five @!?$ing stars yall, Chef Jessica Gamble, your a monster!! keep it up!!! Thanks for truly masterful meal, and next time I'm in Atlanta, I'll be back. Chef Ben.

    Was very disappointed with this place for my meal. My partner enjoyed his meal. I had a hard time finding something I could eat. I don't eat meat and they do not have a big seafood options. The pasta was not the best and I ended up sending the food back. The dessert was pretty good. The service was pretty slow. It was a Tuesday night and wasn't that busy. Wish they had more options on the menu. They do offer valet parking for a fee and self parking for free. Nice clean bar feel. Would recommend for steak lovers only.

    This is my second time to KR SteakBar and was a retirement celebration for 12 people. We got seated in the center, curtained area which created an intimate setting for a group dinner. Mo was our server and he and all his many helpers were very attentive to our group of indecisive orderers. The good was outstanding, and we tried just about every food group on the menu...pasta, steak, fish...no disappointments! Of course nobody thought they wanted desserts, but about two-thirds of us ordered anyway a broad variety, then shared them. Hands down winner was the double chocolate bread pudding. A great experience that I would repeat all over again.

    The service was amazing! The food was delicious everything I had. Even ventured out and tried something very different from my norm but still delicious. We sat in the speakeasy which had a quieter vibe than the main dining room. The ambiance of that room could be considered romantic if in a date.

    Course 4/5

    What an absolute 5-star dining experience! I went with a group of three others, and we sat in the dark, moody speakeasy part of the restaurant. It was a charming atmosphere, and the service was incredible. We decided to go with the Chef's Tasting option, which is $95/person. Our friends had done this before and assured us it was a great value, and it really was. You tell the waitstaff if you have any allergies or food aversions, and they create a menu just for you. It's 5 courses, and very filling - we had leftovers. The tasting began with a charcuterie board with a couple cheeses, nuts and a few meats. The next course was appetizers, and included Burrata, Romaine salad, Pork Belly, and Seared Tuna. The Pork Belly was my favorite, and the salad was also excellent. Course three was the pasta course, and they brought us Angel Hair and Tonnarelli (one of my friends is pescatarian, so they erred on the side of meatless for several dishes). Both were great, but I especially loved the flavorful Angel Hair, with pieces of lobster and crunchy breadcrumbs. For the fourth course, we had Spinalis (their specialty steak - OMG this was incredible... so much flavor, perfectly cooked), Scallops (also great), Salmon, Pan Roasted Chicken (well-cooked but forgettable), Brussels Sprouts (very cripsy), and Polenta (super rich). Dessert was cheesecake with apple pie sauce and green apple ice cream, and Tiramasu. I could have done without both desserts (they were good, but I'm a chocolate dessert girl), but that may have also been because I was so full by that time. If I were to just come back and order off the menu, I'd go with either the Angel Hair pasta or Spinalis. Amazing. What a great fine dining experience.

    This place was very dark and very noisy. I didn't know you had to make reservations to eat here (my mistake) so when we arrived, the hostess told us we couldn't be seated. All of a sudden, a cancellation popped up and her entire mood and attitude shifted. It went from "you're not good enough to be here" to "let me show you your table" in 0.5 seconds. The tables were very small and the acoustics in the place were awful. I could not have a conversation without yelling. Not to mention, we got a rocky table upon sitting down. So much to the point we couldn't lean our elbows on the table without spilling the water. We informed our waitress, who attempted to fix it. Then, another waiter saw her struggling so he came over to help. You know what his first words to us were? "I saw your table shaking when you first sat down." So they knew they had a problem and declined to fix it until we brought it to their attention. Plus, as he tried to fix it, which was rocking violently, he managed to spill our water glasses all over the table. The waitress had to come back and clean up his mess. The food was good. I did enjoy our entrees but I would say that a $20-30 dish should come with a side. Instead, we paid $20-30 for each entree and an extra $12 for our side of Brussels sprouts. The bread was also really good. You can also see from the photo attached how dark the restaurant was- I had to use my phone flashlight to be able to read the menu. Even though the food was a good experience, the service was not. From the hostess giving us the stink eye upon entering to a waiter who saw we had a problem, didn't fix it, and when he did fix it managed to spill water all over our table, I was not bowled over with confidence. I am unsure if I would come back. Especially with prices like that, I'm not sure it's worth it. Also parking was difficult. There is very little street/parking lot parking, otherwise you have to do valet parking.

    Bolognese and a happy camper!

    KR Steakbar still has solid service and dependable food, especially the pastas, although I wish they updated the menu more often. We enjoyed the tonnarelli cacio e pepe and the pappardelle with pork & beef bolognese- even if the cacio e pepe sauce was reminiscent of biscuits and gravy sauce. It would be great to have a more reasonably priced Chardonnay instead of the $18 one, but service was great- servers who weren't even in our section engaged with me and my son. Unfortunately our desserts in the speakeasy took a complete nosedive. The butterscotch bread pudding was absolutely covered in pumpkin seeds, and the accompanying gelato chalky. Even worse was the pretty much inedible chai creme brulee that tasted like nothing but nutmeg. We literally took two small tasting bites and pushed the dish away. Surprisingly our server was completely oblivious to our practically uneaten desserts. We would return to KR at some point, but not for the speakeasy and definitely not for dessert.

    Had a good dinner here for my husbands birthday. Unfortunately they didn't do anything for this birthday. But the meal was good overall. We really like the vodka sauce pasta and the lamb shank tortellini was super unique. Great drink menu too. It was too hot to sit outdoors when we went but the patio looked so cute. Seemed like valet parking only

    Are nice shorts acceptable?

    From what I saw the night I was there. They should totally be fine. The crowd looked like mostly post work dinner drinks/ food.

    Why isn't website working? Edit 1/5/2021 - Seems they fixed the website 👍🏻

    They change the menu often and the website does look funny but they're open. Tuesday through Thursday from 5 pm to 9 pm and on Friday & Saturday from 5 pm to 10 pm

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

    My wife and I recently had an absolutely phenomenal lunch at Casi Cielo, and it exceeded our…read moreexpectations from start to finish. We kicked things off with a couple of incredible Mezcal cocktails that were perfectly balanced and full of flavor. For lunch, we ordered the ribeye tacos and the chicken with mole sauce, and both dishes were outstanding. The ribeye tacos were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, while the mole sauce on the chicken was rich, authentic, and unforgettable. A huge shout-out to our server, Oscar, who made the entire experience even better. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided the kind of service that keeps you coming back. The ambiance deserves just as much praise. The music, décor, and overall atmosphere created a sophisticated, grown-and-sexy vibe that made it perfect for a relaxed date lunch. It's one of those places where you can enjoy amazing food, great cocktails, and simply take your time. Casi Cielo has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!

The crispy shrimp toast was another hit -- crunchy, savory, and a great pairing with the soup. We also ordered the Baker's Dozen oysters, chef's selection.

We finished with the Halibut and Lady peas. The Halibut was topped with lobster and served with a lobster butter sauce, chives, and capers. Rich, buttery, flaky, and perfectly cooked. The lady peas (fava beans, asparagus, and a generous mound of blue crab) were another standout. So much flavor, but everything complemented each other instead of competing. One of those sides you keep looking for more of when it's gone. --- Overall Every dish was thoughtful, balanced, and executed at a high level. Service was warm and genuinely kind -- especially with our little one. 10/10 would recommend

My prime rib was fine, my husband's usual order, a ribeye, was not good. The outside of the steak was tough, but raw in the center, and tasteless. Double-cooked? This was very disappointing, as we have tried almost every steakhouse in ATL, and this has always been his favorite. I specified on Resy that it was a birthday dinner - no mention of that, either.
