Wow, what a great dining experience before enjoying the Christmas lights. We had Madison as our server. She was attentive and sweet. Chef Ryan and his team created amazing food from start to finish. We generally do not order hummus but the cauliflower hummus was creamy and unique. The wagyu tartare was delicious. Our meals were short ribs, kale salad and the double smash burger, along with vegetable sides. We ended with the pumpkin cheesecake and the chocolate tart. We had several leftovers since the portions are generous. Thank you for an amazing dinner and birthday celebration.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Longleaf in the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and Chef Ryan and his team did an absolutely fantastic job. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff truly made us feel extra special, which added so much to the experience. Our server, Madison, was incredibly attentive and accommodating, and another server who assisted her was equally wonderful. The entire atmosphere was warm, inviting, and relaxing—perfect before an evening walk through the Garden Lights.
The food and drinks were exceptional. I ordered a refreshing mocktail garnished with candied ginger, and you could truly taste the freshness in every sip. Everything we ordered was clearly made from scratch.
For appetizers, we enjoyed the beef tartare, clam chowder, and the standout cauliflower hummus. While everything was delicious, the beef tartare and especially the cauliflower hummus were unforgettable. The hummus was incredibly fresh with a perfectly creamy texture—one of my favorite dishes of the night.
For our entrées, we tried the double-stack Wagyu smash burger, the beef short rib, and a kale salad. We also ordered side dishes of roasted carrots, truffle mushrooms, and fingerling potatoes—each one absolutely phenomenal and bursting with flavor. All the dishes were vibrant, fresh, and cooked to perfection.
For dessert, we enjoyed a s’mores tart and a pumpkin cheesecake, paired with a cup of coffee. It was the perfect ending to a truly wonderful meal.
I highly recommend trying Longleaf before walking the Botanical Garden holiday lights. The lights were breathtaking and made the entire evening even more special. Just a tip: make your Garden Lights reservation for a little earlier than your dinner reservation, since the restaurant is inside the garden and you need entry before dining. We had a small mix-up with our times, but thankfully the staff was very accommodating and made sure we could get to the restaurant without any issues.
Overall, this was an incredible dining experience—delicious food, excellent service, and a magical setting. We felt celebrated and cared for the entire evening. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone visiting the garden during the holidays

Had the pleasure of dining at Longleaf, located inside the Atlanta Botanical Garden—and it did not disappoint!
The ambiance was spectacular, with beautiful surroundings and a relaxing vibe. I started with the crispy pork belly appetizer—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the sea scallops, which were cooked to perfection. Paired it with a margarita that was smooth, tasty, and not watered down.
Service was top-notch—Russ did an excellent job from start to finish. There’s plenty of parking, and while it’s a little on the pricey side, you truly get what you pay for: quality food, great service, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
Highly recommend stopping by Longleaf the next time you visit the Botanical Garden. I’ll definitely be going back!

We had a lovely time, we came in to escape the rain while at the Botanic Gardens. We had drinks and some breads and hummus. Food sizes were quite generous despite those being shared nibbles. Bread and butter was exquisite. Would have liked to order more and have a full meal.

I had a great time dining here for lunch. There was no wait and we sat on the patio. Luckily, there were bugs flying around. Our server Ajeema was great! She was nice, knowledgeable, and attentive. The dishes are plated so beautifully and with attention to detail. The drinks were very high quality. Kudos to the bartender, they have the standard of a mixologist. I didn’t like that the hostess told us that it’ll cost an extra $25 to sit on the patio. We almost didn’t stay cuz what restaurant charges to sit on a patio? She said she was joking but she should stick to her day job and not comedy. The duck confit was okay, I’ve had better tasting duck.

We had an absolutely DIVINE lunch. My girlfriend and I decided to have a girls day at the Atlanta Botanical Garden and we stopped here halfway through our tour. We were seated immediately and the staff was friendly and prompt. The ambience was wonderful… the temperature was perfect… seats comfortable. The food and drinks were top tier.

Came in today (Tuesday June 10, 2025) around 12:30pm while visiting the gardens. What a great day to have lunch on the patio. The weather was perfect for us anyway and we got to sit on the patio, under the roof of the restaurant and enveloped in the gorgeous green canopy of the beautiful botanical gardens.
We had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated even though there were many open tables. After being seated we waited about 15 minutes for our server. There seemed to be only 2 or possibly 3 servers for the whole restaurant so perhaps they had a staffing shortage today. Luckily we happened to get the best server ever by the name of Ajeema, who is extremely pleasant, professional and efficient.
We had already chosen our appetizers and entrees so we were able to give our orders right away. The food came out pretty quickly once we ordered which was great.
For an appetizer to share we had the Tartare of Beef, which was wagyu beef, bone marrow, chanterelle and egg yolk and anchovie aioli with chips. The flavor of this was incredible, you could faintly taste every little ingredient, but they were distinct and yet melded together well.
Next appetizer we had the poached pear/coppa de corse flatbread, which is basically pizza. This dish is incredibly good. I can say I’m not sure if there was a pear flavor, it’s hard to describe the flavor really, but it was incredibly fresh and tasty with a very light crust, topped with arugula. Really enjoyed this “pizza”.
Our entree was the fish and chips which normally is “halibut “ and fries, but they had no halibut so substituted with rainbow trout. There’s a big difference between halibut and rainbow trout but we bit the bullet and tried it. The trout was fresh tasting enough but the breading/crust really took away from the flavor, and it was very dry. As for the fries, I’m not big on fries but these were very unique. I couldn’t describe the flavor exactly, it was if they were seasoned with some kind of spices you might find on a piece of chicken or maybe even fish (?), again I’m not sure but they were extremely fresh, very tasty and incredibly light with very little grease for french fries.
We just had waters with our meals since we would be walking the gardens after.
So for 3 small dishes and waters we paid $64. We probably should have not ordered the fish and chips since they didn’t have halibut so that was a disappointment.
Our server Ajeema was the spotlight of the visit. If more restaurants had staff members of such caliber the world would be a better place. Since it was my friend’s birthday today and Ajeema’s birthday is also close she was nice enough to bring out a small pastry to celebrate; man that was like the absolute best thing ever and really made our day! Thanks again Ajeema and hope you have the best birthday ever!
Parking is ample and of course the location and atmosphere is impeccable. Definitely recommend.

We had made a reservation for 12:30 PM. It was after 11 AM and the restaurant let us be seated early. After we were seated the restaurant got busier. The service was great. The water was delicious. It was purified water kept in glass bottles. There isn’t a vegan entree. I got the portobello mushroom tartare. The top layer of mushroom was savory. The level under was creamy. The tomato mixture around the tartare really added to the dish. The spring vegetable medley was very good. The light sauce made it even better. The roasted carrot hummus was very nice. Everything was played well but the roasted carrot hummus dish was the nicest visually. The restaurant being in the garden was also nice.
