in the last weekI felt the service was a bit slow during my visit. The food quality was good, but it didn't quite hit the mark for the price point.

a week agoThe service was impeccable from start to finish our server was highly professional and made excellent wine recommendations. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet comfortable. My only minor complaint is that the pricing is definitely on the higher side, even for an upscale hotel restaurant. However, the premium quality of the food and the elegant setting make it worth it.

2 weeks agoBy George Restaurant and Bar located inside the elegant Candler Hotel Atlanta, Curio Collection by Hilton is the kind of restaurant that blends historic downtown Atlanta charm with a modern upscale dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels refined, stylish, and welcoming without feeling overly formal. I started with the Caesar salad, which was done exceptionally well. The anchovies brought that authentic savory bite you want from a true Caesar, while the cashews added a smooth crunch that gave the dish a unique twist. For the appetizer, the meatballs were rich, comforting, and layered with flavor — almost reminiscent of a hearty lasagna-style meat sauce in the best way possible. For the entrée, I had the roasted chicken paired with Brussels sprouts, and both were executed perfectly. The chicken was juicy, tender, and well-seasoned, while the Brussels sprouts added a nice balance of texture and flavor to the plate. It’s one of those meals that feels elevated without trying too hard. The service was polished, attentive, and professional throughout the evening, which matched the elegant ambiance of the restaurant perfectly. Between the beautiful interior design, the quality of the food, and the overall atmosphere, this is definitely a strong choice for anyone looking for a sophisticated dining experience in downtown Atlanta. A classy spot with great food, excellent service, and a refined vibe that absolutely makes you want to come back again. #ByGeorge #AtlantaEats #DowntownAtlanta #AtlantaFoodScene #FineDiningAtlanta #BrianLetsEat #NuveoBeauty @nuveobeauty
