    It was my wife birthday and she wanted the waiter to take a picture of us. The floor supervisor kept rushing the waiter off and it put a damper on the dinner. This was done twice

    This was our first experience with Bones. We opted to dine here after spending a family day in the city. To start, we appreciated the private room, the atmosphere and the outstanding service. The food was excellent, served simultaneously and was all just as ordered. To take the experience to the next level, our server was extremely kind to our son and brought a special treat to the table for him. Highly recommend dining at Bones…the menu is terrific, we really enjoyed our experience, and we will go back.

    I had the pleasure of visiting THE PALM for Christmas dinner on 12/25. The restaurant was lively yet not overcrowded, creating a perfect festive atmosphere. Although we were offered a table, we opted to dine at the bar. Our bartender, Penny, along with the rest of the staff, was outstanding and provided exceptional service throughout the evening. We began with the calamari, which was lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. While the Prime Rib looked incredible, I chose the Bone-In Ribeye steak with black truffle butter, cooked to medium rare perfection. I paired it with a side of Alfredo pasta with blackened shrimp and sautéed spinach, which complemented the steak beautifully. And as always, the chicken parmesan—a standout favorite in Atlanta—did not disappoint. For dessert, the tiramisu was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday. It was rich, flavorful, and an excellent ending to a wonderful meal. Overall, we enjoyed an amazing Christmas dinner with top-notch service. Thank you, Palm, and a special thanks to Penny!
