Food menu

Around the corner from the Sandy Springs Arts Center, Great place to drop in for a drink afterwards. Lovely specialty drinks like the hummingbird. And they have a huge selection of whiskey. Looks like a nice place for dinner. Although we didn't eat actual dinner. I think some people ordered some food and enjoyed it. Service was prompt and friendly. I would go back and have dinner there if I was in the area. We had a large group and they had no problem squeezing us all in and not all of us eating, it was a little bit later after the dinner grow up

Braised short rib
Les M.

Visited on a Friday night for sister date night. Starting from the service by Destiny L to the drinks and food, amazing. Very clean & vibey spot; the decor is very cute and cozy, they dim the lights after a certain time I'm assuming, loved it. Definitely have to come back and try other items out. Here's what we ordered: * braised short ribs - strong 7/8, i didn't like the veggies as much but flavor wise, very yummy. * honey roasted chicken - oouuu, a very strong 8/9, the sauce was amazing; veggies, everything was sooooo yum. * Caesar salad - strong 7/8 (wish it was more but we did split 1 just to try it out first) * Mac & cheese - the only item we did not like 1 bit. Dry, cold and no flavor :( * sweet & spicy Brussels - strong 8/9, they weren't spicy at all but the sauce was yummy! * drinks - GREAT! Strong 8/9 for both 1) cherry limeaid (no alcohol) 2) obsession (with alcohol) Great experience, Destiny was really great. She went over tonight's specials but we had already make up our minds on what we wanted, very kind and attentive lady.

Short Rib Hash
Gelene J.

On a Sunday afternoon, The select was moderately filled with customers. The outdoor patio seemed best for a casual Sunday brunch. The ambiance on the inside was great! Soft music and excellent service. The entire staff was so accommodating and the vibes were really good. The food was disheartening to say the least. While the short rib was cooked well the flavors were horrible. The food lacked seasoning and the purple sauce just wasn't it. The other patrons of my party didn't say anything about their food but no one finished and no one asked for a to go box. Also the food came out near room temperature... Parking was slightly difficult and in some lots you have to pay. There's nothing convincing me to come back.

French onion soup

I had high hopes for The Select, and while everything was solid, I don't think it fully delivered. First off, I think the ambiance here, especially the bar area is amazing. The lights are very cool and if you visit, you should definitely ask to be seated here. The service was also very good and standard for this type of restaurant. The food was where I felt like it was just missing something. I shared the butchers block which had a great selection of cheeses, nuts, and the jam was really good. I also ordered the French onion soup, after seeing how proud the restaurant presents it on their website, and the braised short rib. Both of these were good and I don't have any negatives about them, but neither were special, super flavorful, or blew me away which was disappointing given the price. Unfortunately, this was a consistent theme with the other 8 people I dined with. With all of that being said, I still think The Select is a safe option for a nice dinner that will deliver solid, consistent taste and quality.

Banana bread
Lanasha R.

Got the chance to visit this super cute spot for brunch when in town for the weekend! The service was really great! Shout out to our server Jordan for not only putting up with two gals yapping without looking at the menu, but also for recommending their amazing banana bread. It came out warm and moist, soo heavenly. I got the steak and cheese sandwich and it was huge! For the price, it was definitely worth it and the fries were perfectly cooked too. My mocktail with cherry and lime was refreshing and still cute despite being a cup of juice. The holiday decor was amazing! I'd love to visit during the spring and see the magic they work. I'd definitely visit again and recommend!

Shoutout to Jordan for the A+ service! Went for Sunday brunch on a whim with my bestie who was visiting from CT. Her first time to Atl, so of course, I had to show her a little bit of OTP as well. This spot has been on my list for a while now, and I finally had a good reason to go! Parking worked out nicely, but I feel like we got lucky finding a parallel parking spot just across the street. This location is in sort of a larger shopping center so there's parking around. We arrived just before Noon, and we were seated right away without any wait to a small table in the dining room to the left once you enter. It wasn't insanely crowded which was nice as it wasn't very loud at all. It's a pretty big and open space and the decorations are SO cute. I've been told they change the decor seasonally, and of course they currently have up the holiday/new years decorations. Jordan greeted us almost immediately upon getting seated, and once we let him know it was our first time in, he was quick to offer helpful suggestions and answer and questions we had about the menu. He had mentioned the banana bread, so we had to go for it and I am SO happy we did!! It was incredible and by far the best banana bread I have ever had!! It was warm, fluffy, moist, and oh so delicious. It was quite filling, so I chose to go with a soup and salad combo for my main. They have French Onion on the menu, so if you know me, I had to get it. I'd give it an 7/10. The cheese was perfection but the broth could've been a tad warmer and more flavorful. My Caesar salad was actually really good. Kind of hard to mess up, but the dressing wasn't as heavy as other places and I appreciated that. I hope to come back in the spring or summer to see the new decor and enjoy another tasty meal!

Seriously should have came here sooner but I'm glad I did! Food was delicious and the scenery is so pretty! I definitely would recommend this for a birthday or an even a cute girls dinner. They even had a daily happy hour for some good items! I had the miso sea bass and it was so moist. All my friend's food was good as well. Final bill was a lil pricey but it was worth it.

My friends and I found this restaurant on one of the Atlanta holiday restaurant lists. We went on a Sunday afternoon so it was a little busy but not too crazy; we were seated maybe 10 minutes after arriving. We had two servers so at times, it was a little confusing to determine who we should order or follow up with. Our first server took our drink orders and we had no issues. Our second server took our appetizer orders but there was a misunderstanding on his part. We ordered 4 of the same appetizer but he somehow thought we ordered one. We were confused when only one came out but he quickly fixed the issue and took the first appetizer back so it wouldn't get too cold as we waited for the others For appetizers, we ordered the crab dip. The flavor was on point and I loved the cheesy pull. I also ordered the burger and it was okay but not amazing. The fries were not good in my opinion so I didn't bother to finish them after the first two. Overall, a decent experience and I wouldn't mind going back to try dinner.

Banana nut old fashioned. Very good. Not overly sweet either.
Steve C.

We stumbled upon The Select and wow did it deliver! We enjoyed sitting outside on a reasonably warm evening and had fantastic service from Nicole R. The explanation of the namesake, the theme and history was great. The insight she offered on certain drinks and dishes helped us understand what we might enjoy. The crab dip was very good, the fresh baguette was delicious and the French onion soup: . We shared the short ribs and they were also outstanding. Even our leftovers, there was care involved as Nicole gave me a crouton and slice of cheese for when I ate the left over soup later at home. Will definitely be back!

Scarlett F.

I was amazed by the structure and decor and ambiance inside of this restaurant. My favorite area would have to be the Bar area. OMG! It's so photo op ready for any occasion. The service looked exceptional, but our server could use a bit more training. We had to ask for a few things as far as ice, more water, straws, etc. The food was astounding. Every bite was just flavorful. I was there for a bday dinner. I ordered the green circle roasted chicken. It was amazing. A few things ordered at the table was the oxtail pasta, French onion soup, the crab dip, the burger, the lamb plate, etc. I got the chance to try tge meringue pie and the bread pudding with ice-cream. They both were indulging. I will say that when ordering the French onion soup that's almost $20, bread should come with it. The ladies were disappointed they had to add the bread on as an additional cost. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I will definitely be back again. Happy bday again to the guest.

Peach Burrata
Erin S.

We had a dinner reservation for a party for 2 on Monday, 6/23/25, at 7 pm. We were seated right away. Our waiter was Oumar and he was great! We split a soup and salad and we each got an entree. Here's what we got: - French Onion Soup ($15): Good! - Peach Burrata ($16): Wish the burrata had been creamier, but it was still really good. Very pretty presentation! - Miso Sea Bass ($46): Deeeeelicious, wow. - Grilled Trout Almondine ($29): Super good. The celery root puree was amazing. Highly recommend!!

This was my second visit to The Select. The first time was a few years ago when they had a holiday bar menu and it was just okay, but this recent visit was much more enjoyable and memorable. The ambiance immediately stood out. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating and is divided into a restaurant side and a bar side. The bar side was definitely the hotspot the night I went with live music and these stunning floral light fixtures on the ceiling that actually open and close like blossoming flowers. The restaurant side was just as nice, a little more lowkey but still elegant. Our server Jewel was great and she was training someone as well. For appetizers, the table shared the hot crab dip, raw oysters, and duck meatballs. The crab dip was my favorite--served hot with real crab in every bite. The duck meatballs had great flavor but were a bit spicy for me. For my entrée, I ordered the short rib with a side of macaroni and cheese. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender, served over mashed potatoes with vegetables, and the mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. For drinks, I took advantage of the Ladies Night menu and had a $10 gimlet which was perfectly balanced and refreshing. Overall, the food was great, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere made for a really good night out. I'll definitely be back

Hubby and I split the trout entree
Lala C.

Glad that I called and didn't rely on the online reservation options. They fit us in for Saturday night dinner . I wanted to experience their happy hour and then move into dinner. The bar was booked for a shower but HH was honored in the adjacent dining room. Drink discounts and reduced appetizer options started our meal. Of course, we opted for oysters and house made fries. Service was a bit bumpy /slow and courses overlapped which is annoying for this level of establishment. We were getting full from the appetizers so we split the grilled trout entree. The accompanying veggies were quite minimal. I love celery root but it turned out to only be a smear on the plate. Great for happy hour but I would go somewhere else for the main meal. Too much competition in the area. The place was quite busy with lots of large parties celebrating birthdays . We walked across the street to Flower Child for dessert, their chocolate mousse is delightful! 2 hour garage parking is complimentary. The meal took so long that we surpassed that timeframe though.

Are there any birthday specials? Like. Free anything and bday presentation?

It was my birthday and server knew that, wishing me a happy birthday when we sat down. No special presentation, no candle, no free dessert. Lackluster, IMO. Not that I need a big to-do, but restaurants that make me feel special are the ones I want… 

Is there a age limit to attend birthday dinner?

No. I brought my 8 year old godson. Also plenty of ppl had infants.

Is any of the meat served halal (particularly the lamb)?

I seriously doubt it is

Are there any vegan entree options?

The menu changes regularly, and there is usually a vegan appetizer or two. Additionally, the chef is typically willing to make a vegan entree of his choice (depending on what they have on hand). I've been twice, and had 1 delicious vegan meal that… 

Is there a dress code? What do people typically wear?

I'd tell you to wear a dress... You can't go wrong with that. People were pretty dressed up when I visited

Went out for a little birthday lunch today and decided to try this restaurant last minute for some…read moreramen. I have to say, it was a 10/10 experience, especially when it came to the customer service! I really wish I had gotten our server's name because she was absolutely fantastic, along with the rest of the staff. You go girl. She wished the birthday girl a happy birthday, and later on, she actually got the entire staff to come out and sing Happy Birthday to her! That was such an unexpected and thoughtful surprise because, honestly, nowadays you usually have to ask for birthday celebrations, and we didn't even care to do that. So for them to do it on their own made the experience even more special. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The appetizers, food, and drinks came out quickly, and everything was served with great service. The atmosphere was cute and cozy, too. The parking lot was a little full, but we did go during lunchtime, so that's understandable. I will say, the chef special does have a LOT of garlic confit in it, so you definitely have to like garlic. That said, it's not an overpowering raw garlic taste--once the garlic is cooked down into a confit, it becomes sweet and adds a really nice flavor. It's good, but definitely something to be aware of if you're not a big garlic person. The broth had a nice little kick to it. My only wish was that there was a little more meat. Overall, the customer service was seriously amazing, and I would definitely come back just because of how well we were treated. Great food, fast service, friendly staff, and an unexpected birthday surprise -- what more could you ask for?

No place in the region has this speciality delight. This meal is one that you think about on your way there and dream about how delicious it was afterwards The best appetizers i have tried so far include The wagu dumplings which are super must have; the delicious lobster bites; and the awesome spinach salad. You cannot leave this 5 star - fine establishment until you end your fabulous meal with the homemade sorbet. The flavors change often but the blood orange is my favorite. The blackberry is amazing too. The wait staff is so friendly, warm and professional. They all have an amazing way of making us feel like best friends coming over for a special dinner and treat.

Anyway, it was yet another excellent experience last week, this time in the Sandy Springs area. Made a reservation but ended up sitting at the bar. Not that anything was wrong - it's just that the bar opens earlier than the restaurant so I went in for an adult beverage or ten and ended up just staying, eating and drinking there. There are two TV's so if you wanted to watch something ... Seats at the bar and a few tables too but not really set up for large groups. Unless you just want to stand around. Almost forgot to mention parking. There's valet but I just parked in the plaza's lot - not that I was trying to avoid tipping the valet, I just happened to pull in and spaces were available. It wasn't like that when I left. The line of cars waiting for valet was backed up a few. Sitting at the bar, it was excellent service. The drinks were straight and neat and went well with dinner. See pics. Grabbed the Lobster Bisque, the Prime Ribeye, Grilled Asparagus, Aged Balsamic and had to have dessert - Peach Crumble with Vanilla Ice Cream. Steak prepared as requested - RARE. I would have liked the Asparagus to be grilled just a little more and I should have grabbed me a dessert wine to go with dessert but that was on me. Was there during the week and it was hopping. Be sure to make reservations or try your luck at the bar. Me, I got there before the restaurant opened so everything was golden from beginning to end.

Brewery #437…read more Mutation Brewing was an unassuming brewery in a cinderblock building but with a great outdoor area. They didn't have flights or at least weren't serving them that night. So, I got 2 different beers, and both were really good. Galactic Fuzz 5 and Sharks w/ Lazer Beams Attached to their Heads (what a great name!) with both delicious IPA's. So why only 3 stars? Well i ended up here on EDM night and I am a 50-year-old. I tried to escape the "boom boom boom", except they had speakers outside too, so I went on the roof top area, and they were setting a DJ up there too. Not my vibe at all. The beer was great; the vibe was shit. I like my beer without glowsticks and epileptic seizures. So if the vibe is for you, go and if it's not check their calendar.

This is a pretty dope brewery setup. I only say this because of the way the layout and setup is…read more It's a really nice place. Right off Roswell Road, you'll be able to come into the parking lot, and it's free parking and it's their own parking lot. It has multiple levels, so there is plenty of space to do a lot of things or bring large groups to it as well. The bar itself is pretty large, and it actually goes and extends on multiple sides, so the bar is basically double. If you go up to the top, there is a bar there, but the last time I was there it wasn't active. Honestly, the last time I went, I went to get some hot chicken because they have a Nashville hot chicken spot in there. That was my primary reason, but it's still a really good place to go if you want a brew.
