The Southern Gentleman is a Southern-inspired gastropub in The Buckhead Village District. The concept celebrates every aspect of what it means to be from the South with a fresh, modern take on traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The bar program explores the artistry and history of classic Southern cocktails—everything from barrel-aged cocktails to bottled libations to adult beverages on tap, along with New World wines and craft beers and the “perfect” mint julep.

The gorgeous top floor space in Buckhead Atlanta was designed by New York’s Lacina Heitler, and features classic, Southern touches done in surprising, modern ways: seersucker window treatments, tufted camel leather booths, vintage plateware, white marble countertops, vaulted ceilings, herringbone floors, dramatic chandeliers, complete with an oversized portrait of Mark Twain painted by a commissioned local artist.

    One meal was great, one was not. Ordered the Southern Grit Bowl and the Bacon, Egg and Cheese croissant and they forgot the cheese. It was also luke warm. Cocktails were good though.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 4 days ago
    Douglas, thank you for complimenting our cocktails, but please accept my apologies for the inconsistencies in your meals. That is not the level of attention we are known for, and I hope we have the chance to serve you again someday so we can ensure you have an outstanding meal in every way. Next time you are in, please ask for me. I hope to see you again someday soon. Chris Lamoree, General Manager

    Just ok. Won’t go back. Fried chicken was bland and seemed to be re-fried to heat it up. Brussel sprouts were greasy with overpowering bacon taste. Potato’s were runny and bland. Redfish was just ok. My first plate of redfish came out raw and cold. They brought me a new plate, and threw in salad and a glass wine for the mishap. Nice gesture. Food just isn’t that good. Beef tartar appetizer was ground up beef with a lot of fatty tissue. Not good. Tasted like raw ground beef. Pricey menu for mediocre food.

    Thank you again for your feedback, Lisa. Even though I've been in touch privately, I wanted to reiterate my apologies here. I hope we have the opportunity to serve you again someday, for what I'm confident will be an excellent dining experience. Chris Lamoree, General Manager

    Food was good, though portion sizes are smaller than they were in the past. There is no bread service or option available other than a sweet potato cornbread to be ordered as a side item.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 4 days ago
    Melanie, thank you for complimenting our food's flavor and for your feedback on our portion size. We usually hear that our portion sizes are very generous and should have been the same as always, but I apologize if you felt otherwise. We'll also see what we can do about a bread service, and we value this input. Next time you're in, please ask for me so I can ensure you enjoy the portion just as much as the taste. I hope to see you soon. Chris Lamoree, General Manager

    A yummy dining experience! The food offers a perfect blend of flavors that truly satisfies. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing meal with friends. The music adds to the overall vibe, with an uplifting tempo that enhance the atmosphere without being overwhelming. The sweet potato cornbread wasn’t a hit, and should be taken off the menu (in my opinion).
    The Southern GentlemanResponded 6 days ago
    Michael, we appreciate your kind words about your dining experience. We strive to create a relaxing atmosphere with delightful flavors. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the cornbread. It is normally very popular, but we would have been happy to bring you something else we're sure you would have enjoyed. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable meal soon.
