Excellent dining experience through the professional and hospitable staff. They spoke confidently and passionately about the food and drinks they served, and it’s easy to see why! Food and beverages for brunch were excellent both of the last 2 times we went, which also suggests *consistency* in quality. Pull up for a good time with good people’s.

About the restaurant

Wicked Wolf Atlanta: Where the party starts early and ends when we say so.
This isn't your ordinary wolf den. By day, we fuel the city with boozy brunch parties, and game-day energy so intense you'll be screaming louder than the ref. By night, the lights go down, the bass turns up, and the party goes hard with live DJs, and VIP bottle service.
We've got everything you need. From craft cocktails and delicious salmon... to your cheap domestic beer and chicken wings. Located in the heart of midtown, we are your ultimate destination!
This isn't your average sports bar. This is where parties never die, the shots hit different, and your night will never end the way you planned. Book your table, gather your pack, and get ready to get feral when you run with the wolves.
Play hard, Party Hard, Howl Hardest!

About the restaurant

In 2005 four longtime college friends opened Tin Lizzy’s in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood, giving their guests a unique taqueria with service rooted in genuine hospitality. Tin Lizzy’s quickly became a popular
place to work and to meet friends for refreshing margaritas and delicious FlexMex cuisine. Soon after, other neighborhoods wanted their own Tin Lizzy’s. We are excited to bring our passion for hospitality and “friends serving friends” mission to new neighborhoods.

The server was rarely seen and when we asked asked for items (such as plates for the appetizer), she never remembered to bring them. The service was not up to their usual standards.

Had a great fun dinner after the Inman park festival. Great tapas menu; great drinks. Staff was super accommodating to move us onto the outside deck when a table became available mid meal. A great fun dinner. Crispy chicken, great meatballs, stuffed peppers and other great tapas.

Buckhead

About the restaurant

We’re a chef’s playground of fresh coastal cuisine with a wood-fired grill and Buckhead’s best cocktails - all centered around our charming garden courtyard.

We feature raw oysters, fresh seafood and local "craft" foods made with passion by our culinary team. Our menu changes frequently, but fan favorites include our lobster roll and the wood fired branzino. Our cocktails mirror this fresh take and are the perfect compliment to our coastal cuisine. Come down to our corner that's tucked away in the Shops Around Lenox. We offer a charming garden courtyard complete with fire pit as well as indoor dining options.

The restaurant’s unique name comes from an extended essay by English art critic John Ruskin. The "lamps" refer to the seven principles of architecture: sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life, memory and obedience.
