I had such a pleasant experience dining here during my hotel stay. The restaurant seemed to have a steady buzz every morning, so I decided to stop in for breakfast — and I’m so glad I did. I started with an Earl Grey that was perfectly steeped and comforting. They took great care of me and made the whole visit feel relaxed and welcoming. For my meal, I ordered the sweet potato waffle topped with a crispy fried chicken breast. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the little bottle of maple syrup on the side was such a charming touch. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. I’d happily come back again.

By George, located in the lobby of the Candler Hotel in downtown Atlanta, was an absolutely fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is elegant but still welcoming, making it perfect for both a special night out or a relaxed dinner in the city.

The food was outstanding from start to finish. The shrimp and grits were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the rigatoni mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. To top it all off, the caramel bread pudding was phenomenal It was easily one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time.

Service truly elevated the experience as well. Our server, Tina, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely kind and considerate throughout the meal. She made excellent recommendations and ensured everything was perfect from beginning to end.

Overall, By George delivers incredible food, beautiful ambiance, and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone dining in downtown Atlanta.

Upon arrival you are greeted by a nice young man with seasons greetings. Put us in the holiday spirit. With validation we paid around $5. Great since it is in the city.

We ordered the French toast with peaches, which leaned more toward slices of wonder bread with only a hint of peach flavor. The standout was the single-serve real Vermont maple syrup, which definitely helped.

I had tea, and it felt worth the price — it was loose leaf, not bagged, and generous enough to serve more than one person.

My mom ordered eggs with potatoes and bacon and really enjoyed it; everything was cooked exactly to her liking.

My husband had the vegetable omelette with potatoes. It was fine, but the overall experience felt very corporate and somewhat overpriced — not surprising given the location and the fact that not much is open on Christmas morning.

Service started off strong. Our original server was wonderful but had to leave for Christmas Mass, which was completely understandable. Unfortunately, the gentleman who took over never checked on our table. My mom eventually waved to another server (which I hate doing), and I was close to getting up myself to ask for help. Thankfully, the server who stepped in was exceptionally kind and attentive, which helped recover the moment.

Overall, the staff was pleasant and the room nicely decorated, but the food and service were uneven for the price.

Fabulous looking restaurant inside a historic building. We had our Thanksgiving meal here – the food was very good, although not five stars for the price. It was well cooked and the portions were ok, but it wasn’t worth the $100 per person we paid (incl a bottle of wine and tips).
The service was amateur (wine spilled from the bottle, forgot who had ordered what, took forever) but friendly. Perhaps it was a different crew for the holiday.
I would recommend the skirt steak and the rigatoni (the mix of meats for the ragu was exceptional). Would not recommend the desserts (they were big but bland, quantity over quality).

Located inside the historic Candler Hotel, this restaurant blends old-world charm with a lively city vibe. From the dining room, you get a front-row view of downtown life—horseback riders, street performers, and passersby keep the energy buzzing just outside the windows.

I started with the Candler Salad, and it was a standout. The crisp greens, candied walnuts, and juicy pear slices made it fresh and flavorful without feeling heavy. For my main, I went with the pan-seared salmon, cooked perfectly with a crisp skin and tender center. Pairing it with a version of the salad made the meal feel light but satisfying.

The real surprise was dessert: the carrot cake. Dense, moist, and not overly sweet, it struck the perfect balance. If I had to nitpick, the texture was slightly uneven—but honestly, it was still one of the best I’ve had.

Service was excellent—attentive without being overbearing—and the atmosphere makes the whole experience feel special. Overall, this is a spot where history, flavor, and great service all come together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal in the city.

Deonna was an absolutely fantastic server and Elida is such a delight! I had a wonderful time with my family and will be back! Thank you for the perfect night! James the supervisor also checked on us several times. White glove service all around.

What a fantastic experience! If you have to wait for a table, there is a super comfortable waiting area in this lavish hotel, with seriously the most comfortable lounge chair I have experienced in my life!
The front of the house staff was super cordial, took my phone number, and I was called/seated within the stated amount of wait time.
Rodney was my server; he had great food suggestions, gave prompt service, and was overall delightful with a beautiful smile!
It was a Thursday morning, and I chose the shrimp and grits. All I have to say is OMG….
The bed of grits were silly smooth, dripping with a decadent creole cream sauce. Atop the grits: Heirloom cherry tomatoes that literally melted in my mouth while they were bursting with flavor, alongside Andouille sausage with just the right level of heat and spice….
The co-star of the dish (along with the grits) were three Jumbo Shrimp, intentionally plated, and cooked so perfectly they exploded in my mouth with the first bite, full of juicy and succulent flavor!
Needless to say, it was a fantastic breakfast, and the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had in the south!

Monday 4th August: UPDATE 2 stars

Today we decided to have breakfast again as we enjoyed it so much yesterday. However the standards seemed to have completely changed within the space of 24 hours for the same item.

I ordered the Tres Leches Brioche French Toast again but this time there was no Tres Leches. This defeats what’s on the menu. I had to ask for the Tres Leches and on top off that the Brioche French Toast was cold.

The French Press for the tea was way bigger than yesterday’s too….(see pics)

Also the milk container had a crack all the way down. I’m sure that’s not hygienic so I didn’t use any milk.

What’s with the inconsistencies? (See pics)

Sunday 3rd August: 5 stars

A fabulous restaurant with the most wonderful staff. Judith was our server and she was fantastic! Answered all of our questions with a beaming smile and even modified my meal due to dietary restrictions.

We ordered the Tres Leches Brioche French Toast with Candied Pecans, Maple Syrup and Raspberry Jam. This has to be one of the tastiest breakfasts I have had. The portion was big so I won’t be needing lunch anytime soon!

My partner had Stone Cut Oatmeal with assorted berries and Macadamia Nuts. He enjoyed his breakfast.

The English Breakfast tea is always delicious.

The setting was luxurious and the service was impressive. Looking forward to breakfast again!

I really enjoyed being here. The atmosphere is very friendly and it feels elegant. My waiter Rodney is the best waiter and I was served by him twice during my stay at the hotel. I enjoyed being served by him as he was very patient, polite, and humorous. He would complete every request efficiently and effectively with only a positive attitude. The food was really good and I was content after eating. I recommend the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs.

Absolutely love this Bar/Restaurant. It is my must stop when at Atlanta Market….do have to go early for a seat. I think one of the best secrets of Atlanta. Bar staff is fantastic. Shout out to Radcliff, Paul, Tina, and Junior. They all provided exceptional service and attention to detail. Food was so, so fresh, delicious and authentically Italian. The olive oil they use is SO good! Definite do again (and again!)
