Everything was really great. Steak Tartar was excellent, the Porterhouse for two was outstanding and cooked perfectly. French fries were spot on and even the dessert did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend.

This was the best restaurant evening experience we’ve ever had. The service and the food were extraordinary. We had the Chef’s Tasting Menu - 10 courses. We also had caviar prior to the Tasting Menu and it was excellent. The timing of the courses was excellent. There was enough time between the courses to eat it, talk about it and marvel at it. Then, the next course would come just at the perfect time…not too soon nor too late. One of the other things we loved about Lazy Betty’s was the ambience. While the menu was so very upscale and the presentations of the courses just perfect, it was not a stuffy restaurant so we felt comfortable to talk and enjoy. Even the music was perfect. It was our 3rd anniversary celebration and it was wonderfully memorable. Kudos to everyone there that made our evening there absolutely perfect. Thank you Lazy Betty’s.

Our meal was delicious. Our waiter was great too! I was a little annoyed they added a “non cash adjustment” (3% charge) to the bill if paying by credit card. It felt a little nickel and dime. Given the price point of the meal itself (abt $250 after tip for 2 pple), that felt disappointing.

Altobeli’s is my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Atlanta! The food is always good, but you can go to plenty of restaurants for good food. Its uniqueness is in the atmosphere, experience, and service. The owner, entertainers, and long-time servers (very little turnover is a rarity in Atlanta restaurants) go incredibly far above and beyond to ensure your dinner is a warm and memorable time - taking time to get to know the diners (and remember them on their next visit) and making them feel as though they are their most important guests. The talent and repertoire of the pianist and vocalists is also immense. That said, though there is live entertainment, the volume is such that you can still converse comfortably at your table. We will continue to visit for many special occasions, and hope to become “regulars” there on general date nights.

First time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Very authentic Italian food. Great choices on the menu. Ambiance was very nice. I would definitely go back, however it is pretty far from where we live, but when in Buckhead again this will be where I will dine.
