Steak
A restaurant that triumphs in taste over trend, Hal's is not the typical highbrow restaurant so often equated with food of this quality. It is a place of white table cloths, flowers, warm brick, & candlelight.

    Visited Hal’s for a celebration dinner and we were seated on the porch. There was a large table next to us, and the people were yelling to be heard. We could not carry on a conversation at our own table because it was just too loud. Outside of that, Bobby did an amazing job! The food was outstanding as always! Carpaccio, oysters, filet and veal. Also Howie the magician was really good! Will be back!

    Took girlfriend to Hal’s for our anniversary and usually it is fantastic and yummy favorite steakhouse in the city. But last night we had mussels and steaks and both of us have been extremely sick from the time we got home. Food was delicious while eating but the sickness has continued on to the next day. Hope that it is a one time ordeal since we both have been to Hal’s tons of times and enjoy the food every time we’ve been.

    Returned to find at one of my all time favorites. I hadn't been since before the pandemic and was pleasantly delighted that the service, ambience and cuisine was of the same quality and caliber as previously. Highly recommend. The servers are top notch professionals who who ensure every part of your experience is excellent.

    What a fabulous Mother’s Day celebration! As always, Hal’s always provides the most incredible cuisine, and my favorites are the grilled oysters, the fried oysters (appetizers), the escargot, and the Filet Oscar with hollandaise. My 86 year old mother, my husbands parents and two of our three young adult daughters all loved Hal’s as well.

    The male host with the accent lacks any kind of empathy and acts like his last name is Hal. Which I'm sure if it was he'd have a better disposition. The bartender can't make a proper cocktail to save her life. It was all gasoline. Might as well ordered a shot of fireball.

    It was not worth the cost; should have done Bones. We ordered a seafood dish per the waiter's recommendation. WAs later informed that the fish was not available. A couple was seated after us , the dish was then available. Ordered a cocktail...had to remind waiter it had been served. Our main meal consisted of a fish & backfin crab. It looked ugly as well as the taste. We did not finish our meal. The environment just was not conducive for a Mother's Day event. We absolutely love fine dining; Hal's was not it...

    Hal’s is the BEST steakhouse in Atlanta. They are top notch from the time you pull in and valet to when you sit down to eat to when they open the door to your vehicle when leaving.

    This was our first time eating at Hal’s and we will return! We ate upstairs, and we would request that location again; it is much quieter, sunlight-filled, and smoke-free. Our server, Francis, was delightful, helpful, and a true professional. He and his team of servers took flawless and excellent care of us! We will request Francis again. We appreciated the ranges of choices on Hal’s menu. We were not hungry enough for a steak dinner, and ordered pasta and Veal Marsala instead. Both entrees were reasonably priced and perfectly prepared and presented. We had a lovely experience at Hal’s!

    Food and service were tops, table and noise not so great. We were seated upstairs at table for 2 next to the wall, other tables were much too close making it difficult to sit down. Felt like we were penned in, and difficult for waitstaff to get access. Have been going to Hal’s for special dinners for more than 10 years, next time I call and talk to a person when making the reservation

    Overall, the dinner was very good. Meat was cooked perfectly and the sides were very good. The only issue I had with dinner is that the Beefsteak tomato salad is now cut up into tiny pieces like Pico de Gallo. The waiter did warn me, but I said what the heck, I'll try it. Very disappointing and they really need to go back to the traditional way of serving this salad. It really was like eating Pico de Gallo without the cilantro.

    This was our first time returning to Hal's since their failed inspection several years ago. We were seated upstairs next to a party of 12, and constantly had servers & patrons bumping into our chairs. Our server didn't help the experience as he was nowhere to be found. Our steaks arrived cold & with the wrong sides. With so many other great steakhouses in Atlanta, we will not be returning.
