The Southern Gentleman is a Southern-inspired gastropub in The Buckhead Village District. The concept celebrates every aspect of what it means to be from the South with a fresh, modern take on traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The bar program explores the artistry and history of classic Southern cocktails—everything from barrel-aged cocktails to bottled libations to adult beverages on tap, along with New World wines and craft beers and the “perfect” mint julep.

The gorgeous top floor space in Buckhead Atlanta was designed by New York’s Lacina Heitler, and features classic, Southern touches done in surprising, modern ways: seersucker window treatments, tufted camel leather booths, vintage plateware, white marble countertops, vaulted ceilings, herringbone floors, dramatic chandeliers, complete with an oversized portrait of Mark Twain painted by a commissioned local artist.

    Had reservations and only available table was in the bar near the entrance. They were seating reservations and walk ins randomly. Very disappointing for a relatively high price. Carving stations for turkey and ham were empty and only had pre sliced meats which were dry. Had pre added 20% large group tip included on the check for our large party of 3! Not impressed.

    Terry, I am sorry to hear your experience wasn't ideal. We work hard to keep prices as reasonable as possible and make sure we are competitive with other top restaurants. Please contact me regarding any confusion on your bill. I will certainly take care of it if a mistake was made. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully welcoming you again someday for what I'm confident will be an excellent dining experience. Thank you, Chris Lamoree, General Manager

    The most pleasant dining experience we have had in a very long time. Chris tie GM was amazing and our server was OUTSTANDING. I wish I could remember her name but she had long braids. They were also very tentative to my elderly mother. Hands down one of the best place to eat. Highly recommended.
    The Southern GentlemanResponded today
    Justin, that's wonderful to hear and we truly appreciate your wonderful comments. We'll be sure to let the team know they made your and your mother's experience so pleasant. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you!

    We were there to celebrate a birthday. The hostess was friendly. Our waiter, Michael, was amazing! He was knowledgeable about the menu and very personable. After our meal, he graciously took photos of us after dinner. From the appetizers to the main course, drinks and dessert…everything was fantastic!
