This was our first experience with Bones. We opted to dine here after spending a family day in the city. To start, we appreciated the private room, the atmosphere and the outstanding service. The food was excellent, served simultaneously and was all just as ordered. To take the experience to the next level, our server was extremely kind to our son and brought a special treat to the table for him. Highly recommend dining at Bones…the menu is terrific, we really enjoyed our experience, and we will go back.

Had to wait about 20 minutes past our reservation time for a table, but once we got down the food and our waiter were amazing. They comp’d a couple drinks for us and even sent us home with a few gifts.

We had the best time! The service was phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. There wasn’t a single thing our party got that wasn’t delicious. We went for my birthday and joked that our group wants to go for everyone’s birthday for the next 10 years. You won’t be disappointed!

Though there are other more well known restaurants in Atlanta, Hal's is my favorite! The food is always excellent and the service is great! Even though I am only in Atlanta every couple of months, Kevin, my favorite waiter, remembers my drink order as well as my favorite foods. It's amazing! My husband usually has the sea bass but has also had a wonderful steak or two there. I haven't found any place that makes as good a chocolate martini! See you on my next trip to the big Apple!
