In tribute to Southern fare, Establishment's kitchen cultivates a traditional array of Georgia classics and original creations such as pimiento cheese, bourbon bacon marmalade and venison "Buckshot" Meatballs.

With special attention paid to the rich history and local relevance, Establishment commissioned one of the country's top new artists Janssen Robinson to bring 1845 Atlanta back to life through his oil on canvas paintings that adorn our 175 year old walls.

Our patio is perfectly poised for afternoon spring drinks, sumptuous appetizers, business, romance, catching up and winding down. If you haven't experienced it, the time for appointment libations and a slice of Georgia history is right now.

    Lettuce wraps were atrocious, with flabby lettuce holding a noxious filling. At least, they were stingy. Waiter thought it was funny when we said it was disgusting.

    We had a great visit to The Establishment. Our appetizers and mixed drink was very good. Our dinner was good. Prime rib. It was tasty but like all prime rib the meat is pretty fatty. The wait staff was excellent especially Marissa and Shane. Some young white bartender with short hair was kind of rude when we asked about our reservation. We'd been sitting at the bar for an hour eating and drinking. He basically said he didn’t have a clue about our reservation and that we needed to go back to the hostess stand and ask. Then Marissa, also a bartender, said she would take care of us and seated us. This rude guy needs to bus tables or work in the back, where he doesn’t interact with customers. We will definitely be back to try another meal.

    I would say this is a fun environment that borders on too loud to hear your friends you are dining with. Only some of the food on the menu is worth reordering, the garlic fries and the fried brussels were delicious. We ordered the grilled wedge salad, which does not come with dressing and the warmness of the salad made the lettuce taste bitter, I'd not waste your money on this salad. We also ordered the risotto which needed about 30 more minutes before it was done, the risotto was not cooked fully came out hard (the rice), and was not creamy. the EST burger was good. I'd skip the stuffed peppers and the deviled eggs. If you are looking for a fun environment to have a drink this is definitely your place!

    The salmon was overcooked, the brusselsprouts were raw, the chicken wings and risotto had zero flavor

    We went last Saturday for dinner. The restaurant was a little difficult to find since we were not familiar with Colony Square and expected to see the full name of the restaurant on the building. The food was very flavorful, and the wine selection was good. The noise level was almost deafening since it was a Saturday evening. Loved the decor. Anneka was very pleasant and helpful on the menu selections.
