Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Brookhaven

Our evening at Hal's was perfection. Day after Thanksgiving I was treating a family friend to an amazing Hal's steak dinner after he graduated boot camp. I noted in my Open table profile the reason for our dining with Hal's and they did not disappoint. Jeff our server explained the various menu offerings and suggested a few of his favorites and best sellers. We selected the 22oz bone in ribeye Pittsburgh style, the 12 oz filet and a 12 oz filet au poivre. I have never seen such thickly cut filets. We also selected several side dishes including brussell sprouts, the famous truffle mac-n-cheese and sauteed spinach. Way more food than we could possibly eat comfortably at one sitting. But necessary for a boot camp graduate who has been consuming 4000-500 calories daily in training. Jeff even surprised our graduate by bringing him a lava cake with ice cream. My guest was knocked out by the gesture and felt like a General instead of a Private. My compliments to Jeff for being so caring in honoring our new soldier. Also need to mention the host staff who so graciously provided a dinner jacket to get our soldier up to dress code so we could all enjoy an evening at Hal's. You saved our evening and I thank you very much. All-in-all our evening at Hal's was eventful in the very best ways and the entire staff we encountered are all top notch!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Nobu, and I was genuinely pleased with the entire experience. The restaurant itself was stunning, with an upscale ambiance that perfectly set the tone for the evening. The food was beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. Our server, Nam, was outstanding—his extensive knowledge of the menu and excellent recommendations truly elevated our meal. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered from the sashimi to the steak.

Bones is always a home run and a consummate Atlanta steakhouse / date night / night out with friends gem. 10/5 ⭐️ always recommend highly and without hesitation.

Amazing, as always! The service was stellar, the food was fabulous!

I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!
