Southern Belle

We were recommended here by Amanda - who we met at a Yelp event. She recommended this gem located on Ponce and here's my review:Parking - I was lucky to find a spot up front but they do have paid parking around back.Atmosphere - I was greeted with friendly faces, and sat at our table. Staff: our waiter was amazing! On top of it, our bartender crafted some beautifully scripted drinks for our taste buds. She nailed each one perfectly! Food: everything was a 10/10! 10 out of 10! No complaints. The short rib was my favorite! The vibes reminded me of my favorite bookstore on the east coast giving me a ratatouille moment. Looking forward to coming again and sharing with my friends.

Cute environment. The food is good but it's expensive for what you get.Hamachi Crudo - tasty .. fried avocado strips very creative addition.Salad- good size and good Quail- tasty but not much foodScallops delicious and tasted like fall

i feel like this place is amazing for what it is...albeit a little more pricey than what I'd like.this restaurant is the sister restaurant to Georgia Boy which is another famous restaurant in the ATL. Most of the menu items were good but the quantity left more to be desired. Expect to pay north of $50/person if you actually want to be full.The best thing about the menu is the show you get when you order the banana foster. The chef himself rolls the entire thing out on a Delta airlines cart and give the talk and show. However, if you are one of the other ten parties in the restaurant that ordered it, you prob have heard the show at least five times before it got to your table.

Loved this place. Super classy and they some unique dishes and cocktails. The service is fabulous! Our waitress was so nice and gave very helpful recommendations. We came to get their limited time smash burger. But would definitely go back to try their other menu items! The cocktails were fabulous as well.

After visiting Georgia Boy 3 times, I was always curious to see what was occurring just feet from the black cushioned seats in the waiting area of Georgia Boy, and if the food was equally as innovative and tasty. I can say with full confidence that Southern Belle harnesses the same power of magic to create incredibly creative and delicious food. The ingredients are hyper seasonal and extremely local - and Chef Ward and his staff know how to inject subtle whimsicality into each dish. As someone who is OBSESSED with Georgia Boy, I am ecstatic that there's essentially an a la carte version in case I don't feel like doing a full 14 course tasting menu. Because the ingredients are sourced locally, menu items change on a whim. Essentially, each time you visit it will be a new experience. As a result, I'm making sure I'm ubering my a** to Southern Belle at least once a month so I don't miss out on the magic!!

Southern Belle is a gorgeous restaurant in Poncey Highland. The dishes are fun and vibrant. We absolutely loved trying and splitting some dishes together! The inside was gorgeous with florals and cute old decor, but the outside was also so cute! This would be such a fun spot in the summer. It is clean and so pretty. Add this to your list of spots with a group!

"Southern Belle is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were transported to a culinary paradise. The cocktails were nothing short of fantastic, each sip a delightful journey of flavors. But what truly stole the show were the unique tastes infused into every dish, showcasing a perfect blend of Southern charm and culinary innovation. Every bite was a revelation, with a twist of flavor that kept us coming back for more. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, complementing the exceptional dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Southern Belle is a must-visit destination for anyone craving an unforgettable culinary adventure. Five stars all the way!"Service was great!

Such great food ! Great service And love the fact no tips are needed since the employees are paid by the restaurant as it should be in any civilized country

My love for set menus is continues to grow! Of course this is another one of my Instagram stops, I've been eager to book this. Talk about a phenomenal culinary experience, compliments to the chef and everyone that works here. Service was A1 and they brief you on each course as it comes out. Each dish had a unique story. They even made the ice cream in front of me which was cool to see.The ambiance of the restaurant paired well with my meal, feel of elevated comfortability. If you can snag a reservation here then don't miss out on one of the best dining immersions I've experienced in Atlanta.

Service is top notch at this restaurant. We've been to Georgia Boy a couple times but this was my first eating off the menu at Southern Belle. Cocktails were good but small for the price. I got the "what if"tequila based cocktail and kinda wished I just ordered the margaritas like my husband. For food we ordered the GEORGIA WAGYU BEEF TARTARE with the upgrade caviar. The beef was a little tough and I noticed white tendon attached which I think means I could've been butchered better for tenderness. Also it's smothered in the heavy dairy crème sauce which complete overwhelmed the dish in my opinion. I was over it before I got to my caviar which had more of the same crème (as seen in picture) We also had the burrata, SUMMER CAPRESE, which was good, fresh, loved the little fried basil on top. Delicious could've used a chip, bread, or something to garnish and eat the small tomatoes/melon.For mains we had CHATEL FARMS WAGYU BEEF SHORT RIB and the Quail. Keep in mind their website isn't current yet so don't be disappointed if you can't get the bacon wrapped tenderloin. Short rib was great not too fatty and cooked to perfection. Quail was delicious, a small portion and bird of course but absolutely amazing flavor. It was a fun date night, offers little privacy is that is a concern, as it's pretty open and feels like you're eating at a BnB. Definitely worth a visit.
