Reviews
I was here for a brunch hosted by the Yelp Elite program. This place is great to host your next private event or dine with people. They served us an incredible spread of food. We had: oysters, shrimp, an omlette station, fruits, salad, French toast, crawfish salad sliders, grits, egg bites, overnight oats, etc. Everything was prepared/cooked to perfection and delicious. The bartenders were also working hard to serve up delicious drinks. I had the Rose Colored Glasses and it was exceptional – especially if you like gin.
The patio was the star of the show after the food. They decorated it with stunning flower atriums around the tables. It was a perfect day to sit out there and marvel at the sunshine. It was such a gorgeous and relaxing environment for a Sunday afternoon. It felt like there was no better place in Atlanta to be.
The staff went above and beyond to create a pleasant experience for us to enjoy. The Shane is where you need to go for your next time dining out or to catch drinks. This is one of the few places that are worth the value in Atlanta.
For my entrée, I ordered the Blackened Grouper with grits. The portion was generous, the fish was flavorful, and the grits were perfectly creamy. However, the real standout of the evening was my wife’s pork chop—beautifully charred and cooked to the perfect temperature. Absolutely exceptional.
That said, the true highlight of our night was our amazing waitress, Diany!!!!! Her recommendations, hilarious honesty, and genuine personality completely elevated the experience. Despite the chaos of the so-called ice storm and everything going on around her, she never missed a beat—always returning with a smile and a pleasant attitude.
Without her, it would’ve been a solid meal. Because of her, it became special and truly memorable.
Service was disappointing. Our server repeatedly spilled water in the dim lighting, got our order wrong, and was hard to get ahold of. The staff overall seemed new and unsure, which showed.
The saxophone player was very loud for the small space, making conversation difficult. There was also a large party with kids nearby, which didn’t match the romantic atmosphere they were clearly trying to create.
The food was okay, but nothing memorable. Overall, it just did not live up to the expectations for such a special night.
To start, we shared two delicious appetizers: the Crawfish & Jalapeño Croquettes and the Crispy Jambalaya Arancini—both were perfectly crisp, flavorful, and a great way to begin the meal.
For entrées, I had the Alaskan Halibut, which was delicate, buttery, and beautifully prepared. My husband ordered the Rainbow Trout, which was equally impressive—fresh, flavorful, and expertly cooked.
We paired our meals with two standout cocktails: the Grant Park and the Southside Sipper. Both were refreshing, well-balanced, and elevated the entire experience.
A live guitarist was performing and singing throughout the evening, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere that made the night even more memorable.
And the dessert? Absolutely unforgettable. The Peach Almond Cream Tart was divine—so good, I joked that I could’ve eaten seven. It was the perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal.
From the food and drinks to the service and ambiance, The Hartley exceeded every expectation. It’s the kind of place that makes a special occasion feel even more meaningful. We would absolutely recommend it and can’t wait to return.
Ordered the Atlantic Red Snapper which came with black eyed peas and a chorizo clam broth. Collectively the flavors were good overall with a nice crispy skin but both the fish was a bit over cooked and the bed of beans were a bit bland but the clams were perfect. I paired it with a pour of Blanton’s on the rocks that came with a very fun king cube of ice that was “Hartley” branded.
I stopped by for breakfast where I got the Hartley breakfast (typical eggs, bacon, toast and fruit) which came out quick and was done well but some pieces of melon are a bit over ripe with an almost fermenting/spoiling scent but overall it was still a good meal. The “fresh” orange juice was delicious and indeed tasted squeezed and not generic OJ from a carton.
This was a great experience overall that was a good atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and attentive. From a value standpoint, it is on the higher end to be expected from a hotel restaurant and would be a good stop if you are staying there or in the area but not something to go out of the way for.
