Lazy Betty

I was invited to a special dinner in the private room at the back of Lazy Betty - and it was a night to remember! We had the six course dinner with wine pairings. The service was excellent and the presentation of dishes spectacular. Amuse - 5/5, we had four delicate little amuse bouche items, which we were instructed to eat from left to right, the best was the duck spring roll on rocks (and they told us the rocks were not edible which was helpful!)Cured Hiramasa - 5/5, I don't usually like raw fish but this was delicate and tasty, and all of us thought the green peanut and shoyu emulsion was especially deliciousHudson Valley Foie Gras - 4/5, foie gras in the shape of a strawberry? It was unusual for sure, but not my favorite itemSeared Diver Scallop - 5*/5, one scallop but boy was it goodPoached Icelandic Cod, 5*/5, the sizeable piece of cod was perfectly poached and in a super flavorful sauce so good that I wanted to lick the plate (but I didn't)Crown Roasted Dry-Aged Duck - 5/5, I love duck and this was a meaty piece that also had a small piece of fried foie gras which was so fatty/rich I couldn't do itBlackberry Mousse - 4/5, I remember this was yummy but I also can't describe it so it makes me think it wasn't the standout item except I was so curious about a cucumber soup being poured in the middle of the dessert, very unusualAmuse dessert - 4/5 they brought out three different bite sized desserts, but again I can't remember what they were except one was a rose cream filled chocolate cookie which was a little too salty for my tasteI think my dinner with the wine pairing was probably around $400 which makes this the most expensive meal I've ever had (this is a Michelin star restaurant) and I am grateful to have been hosted for the memorable dinner!

Following the Michelin Atlanta list coming out, we made a reservation to come to Lazy Betty! Expectations were definitely high, but I felt it didn't quite hit the mark for us. Given the star and price point, we really wanted to live everything put in front of us and didn't feel like that. The were a lot of creative elements that I liked. We did the tasting menu and added on the truffle risotto. Service here was nice and attentive. Dishes came out at a nice pace for the tasting menu. The vibe here is a little stuffy as they did come around and brush crumbs off the table which I personally am not a fan of. We found the cod to be salty and the broth had one note. The amuse was by far our favorite item we had! Blue fin tuna roll was fine. Duck was delicious. Raspberry mousse dessert was okay. Overall, I'm glad I came for the experience, but don't think I'll venture back any time soon for the tasting menu! Will be eyeing dropping by for the a la carte menu at the bar!

Since Lazy Betty was awarded one of the first Michelin stars in Atlanta, I wanted to check it out. They have been on my list of restaurants to eat at for so long, so as my birthday, my wife took me here to eat. I was super happy that I got to spend my birthday here as well as I got some extras. For parking, they do validate parking, just ask the hostess. Parking wise, you park in the same parking lot as the Hyatt so if you go to that parking deck, you're in the right place!We had the tasting menu here, which was $225. But to be honest, it was a lot of food for the price. So on our adventure we had some amuse bouche, along with several bites of entrees and desserts. These were all bite size, because well it's a tasting menu, but I thought all of the dishes that were served were well flavored. I also thought the dishes themselves seemed safe. The combinations of flavors were well known to go together. However, with the combinations they took a step above the normal and with sauces and foams I thought all of the dishes were great.Service here was great. The vibe inside was that half of the restaurant was open to a la carte and the other the tasting menu. The music was on point, every song was a blast to the past and the staff was super nice and presented each dish professionally. I would definitely recommend to come here to eat for a special occasion. If you're not willing to do the tasting menu, the a la carte menu won't disappoint either. But with a tasting menu, making decisions on what to eat is taken out which is what I enjoyed the most.

Lazy Betty provides an enjoyable relaxed environment with a playlist that is definitely curated by a millennial. The drinks were well made and most of the dishes felt unique. For me the sauces and foam really elevated each dish (e.g. the duck and foie gras dish may be basic French cuisine but the sauce ties it together so well and was easily one of my favorites). Staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. Parking in the 999 parking deck is validated by the host(ess). A 20% service fee is included.

What a great experience. I enjoy visiting Michelin Star restaurants and am glad the committee chose Atlanta in 2023. As would be expected, the service, food, and ambiance are top notch. Expect to be served by several staff members, each of which brings their own personality and charm. The tasting menu is delicious. The amuse includes 4 small bites of duck, tomato, English pea puree, and fish. I'm not a bread lover but the bread here is yummy. A BUTTERY biscuit, a pretzel bun, and orange honey butter. Wow!Next was hiramasa (melts in your mouth), fois gras (disguised as and accompanied by strawberry), tortellini (ramps and chicken nage...woot), poached Icelandic cod (so moist and flaky), dry aged duck (with pistachio cremeux...whoa), and a final amuse of lime granita with lime crème and finger limes (refreshing and palate cleansing). The desserts came next, including a special raspberry birthday cake for my special day. I could have done without the petit fours, as the cucumber cake with blackberry mousse was the perfect ending. That's right...cucumber cake, and it's ridiculously good. I also enjoyed an old fashioned called the Attitude Adjustment. It was made with wagyu fat washed bourbon and then smoked table-side. Woohoo! My son enjoyed a blueberry mocktail that was divine. When you're ready for an amazing dinner, head to Lazy Betty!

The Michelin-rated tasting menu offers a delightful array of flavors, with expertly balanced seasoning and ideal portion sizes.The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming.With a bit more attention to dish presentation and tableware details, the experience could be even more outstanding.Prices include a 20% service fee, and parking in the 999 building garage is conveniently validated.

Wow!!I finally got my masters degree and needed to celebrate. Lazy Betty was here to take my whole slightly drunk and extroverted persona. As someone who's no stranger to Michelin starred restaurants Lazy Betty is absolutely at the TOP of the spectrum. Every bite I had was legendary. The standout for me was the fois gras terrine with beats. Brought me back to my grandmothers Eastern European kitchen in the best way possible. Did I mention the service is impeccable?!!! Seriously the most pampered I have ever been at a Michelin starred restaurant. Photos speak for themselves Come here. It is the BEST!! if I was a Michelin rater I'd give them 2 stars. Better than 2 star experiences I've had in NYC. Love lazy Betty.

This year I have an ambitious goal to eat at all 45 of the Michelin Guide recommended restaurants in Atlanta. I'm happy to say that I started here. I made a solo dinner reservation for my birthday this weekend, eating here on Friday. I've been to more than a few Michelin-starred restaurants around the globe, so my expectations were realistic but quite high.Lazy Betty exceeded them for sure. I got to sit at the kitchen because of my party size, so I could watch the chefs do what they do (and pretend I'm in The Bear as I discussed with one of them) while savoring their work. I thought the bag hooks at the bar seats were a nice touch. I ordered a glass of rosé Robert Sinskey pinot noir and it was wonderful, very fitting to my tastes. Every course was incredible and delicious. I got the additional scallops, and WHAT a choice. I told the Chef de Cuisine they were life-changing scallops. I also loved the writing on the second dessert celebrating my special day! I'm so excited for this great restaurant to be down the road from me in Midtown. I spoke with the maitre'd about their opening day and might stop by to try their new bar menu if I'm around.

Not sure what everyone is talking about, food is mediocre, service is ok, ambience is not tasteful at all.Staff maybe knowledgeable but not really friendly.Extremely expensive for the ingredients used.Michelin, you need to reset and rethink your choices.

As good as advertised and well deserving of their Michelin star.The restaurant atmosphere and ambiance with it's dim lighting really helps set the mood for what you're in for.Every detail is accounted for when it comes to each course you are presented with. Flavorful and full of quality. You really get the most out of each bite even if the portions aren't the biggest, by the end of the night you'll definitely be leaving satisfied.Definitely make a reservation ahead of time for a good slot, but it's well worth the hefty price tag at the end of the night.
