Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Austell

Hal’s never fails to please. The food is always of high quality and prepared properly. We prefer the tables in the bar area so as to be near the music but the regular dining areas are obviously quieter and less crowded. Hal’s is not cheap but is worth every dime.

The ambiance, food, and staff made this a truly memorable experience! Absolutely recommend for a wonderful dining experience!

The last time my wife and I were at this location was when it was still Shilling's On The Square, a place where we spent many happy hours. So January 2 being our wedding anniversary, we decided to take a "sentimental journey" to the new place. We were delighted with everything, from the drinks at the bar to the entree to the complimentary dessert and champagne they gave us to mark the occasion. My wife had the shrimp and grits, I had the lamb chops along with a shared side with brussels sprouts and cauliflower; both excellent. Our waiter Ramon was friendly and attentive. All in all a delightful experience we would recommend to anyone.

Amazing spot! Chris was an exceptionally great waiter! The food - beyond compare! Will definitely return when in Atlanta!

We wanted a nice place to celebrate our anniversary and chose Ray's on the River based on previous experiences. We were not disappointed. The hostesses pleasantly greeted us, our server (Luis) was very attentive to our every need / request, the scenery (sitting at the window gazing at the Chattahoochee River) beautiful and the food spectacular. We had one request regarding the menu and the chef was more than accommodating. A delightful evening, and we're grateful to Ray's for helping make it so.
