Best Historic Restaurants in West Midtown

Service was excellent. From the moment you arrive, you feel taken care of. From the complimentary valet, to the friendly hosts that greeted us and walked us to our table outside with the most serene view of the river. Our knowledgeable server gave us just enough information, had impeccable timing. The food was better than I remembered 10 years ago. The smoked salmon on crispy potatoes (hash) bites was recommended as an appetizer, and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the truffle fries, but I was full by that point and asked my server to pack up my entrée. I was delighted to find that she separated the fried shrimp from the slaw salad. The only downside to sitting outside were the flies. I’m not sure if a fan was on or not, but I suggest a light floor fan that may hopefully deter the flies. That comes with nature. The view was worth it! 

Wonderful experience, great food, great happy hour cocktails and prices

Our food was absolutely fabulous, and the service was excellent. Always a treat to dine at the Chastain!

From parking to seating to the meal everything was flawless

Our first night in Atlanta was a delight because we chose the Livingstone Restaurant. We were seated at a special romantic table for two within a brass-framed circular area overlooking the Fox Theatre across the street. We found out later this was one of the original art deco revolving doors at the historic hotel. My husband had the She Crab Soup and I had the Grilled Asparagus as starters - both were superb. He then had the Miso Glazed Seabass with shitake musrooms and jasmine rice and I had the Southern Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens. To finish, my husband - a connoisseur of creme brulee - had the French Vanilla Creme Brulee which he said was the best he had had in a long time and I had the Lemon Tart. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was fantastic. It was a lovely beginning to our celebration of his 75th birthday. The experience added to the anticipatory excitement of going to a concert the next night at the Fox Theatre, which was his main birthday present.
