Reviews for King + Duke in Atlanta, GA

Amazing atmosphere, great food and drinks and very pleasant server. I took off one star because I was a little disappointed that... they didn’t do anything for my husbands birthday even though we called upfront and told them while making the reservation thatthis is going to be his birthday dinner and my father-in-law flew into town for his dinner, so that’s a little sad. Wouldn’thave expected much but maybe just a candle and a desert would’ve been nice. Read more

Great place for date night! The ambience was the perfect way to start the weekend! British style concept, everything was... magnificent! My husband and I ordered the burgers and ended the night with their sticky toffee cake! Phenomenal Read more

This place is unreal. Everything about King + Duke tastes perfect, is perfect, or feels perfect. My girlfriend and I both had... burgers — she likes it more cooked than I do, but they were both juicy and tasty. We loved the beef dripping fries too. Thedrinks were also incredible. I had the Daisy Buchanan with extra pepper and it was balanced perfectly. … I haven’tmentioned the best part yet though! We loved the staff. Our waiter was one of our favorite waiters ever. He helped us with themenu, gave us recommendations, and made us laugh! 11/10! Read more

Very beautiful place with nice ambiance but the food was average at best and even though we had a good server it seemed to take... a long time for the food to arrive. Had to cancel the dessert after waiting over 30 min for it on an early night when it wasnot busy at all. So much room for improvement but this place deserves the chance. Read more

First time here was more than what I imagined! I booked a reservation for my fiancé’s surprise birthday dinner including a... group of friends that came into town. Upon entering, we were greeted with a warm welcome and we were guided to our seats. Alongthe way to our table, we were fascinated by the wood-burning aromas from the kitchen, the dim lighting, the soft-acoustics inthe background of guest conversations, a picturesque view of Buckhead Village and an homely open patio. Our server Brandyn wasmore than amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and ensured that we had a great experience. Lamont, the manager, made surethat he interacted with all of the guests around the restaurant, helping out his staff as needed. The dinner was trulysatisfying! From starters to desserts, the beverages and comfortable seating we felt like we were at a“home-away-from-home!” They provided us with complimentary champagne, green tea-whiskey combo and a special sundae (with abirthday card from the staff) for my fiancé. If you want a restaurant that offers versatile seating (indoors/outdoors), atastefully satisfying menu, a caring and pleasant staff and an accommodating, intimate ambiance—this is the place. King+Dukegave us all an experience that is unmatched and we’re excited to return! Read more

If at all possible get a table with July. Great knowledgeable, friendly and attentive server. Great for small groups, business... lunch or dinner and even dates. Highly recommend reservations for dinner service. Food quality: 4.5 Customer & Food Service:5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended by my financial consultant, as “consistently good food and service.” Enough said. As a finedining experience, very good dare I say in between a very satisfactory to excellent. For a busy Saturday night, at dinner rush,great service and food! Appetizer: Octopus tiny portions but a great amuse-bouche, wish there were more pieces, excellentlyseasoned and grilled to perfection not too chewy, mini potatoes nice balance. Entrees: The vichyssoise was creamy and light withthe flavors of a perfectly puréed onions and leeks with a hint of basil. The flounder was cooked perfectly crispy on theoutside and flaky and falling apart beautifully on the inside, garnished with the caramelized garlic which was not overpoweringone bit and fresh basil leaves on the side it was an entree worth waiting for. The side of roasted artichokes were beautifullysteam blissed and roasted, had a great chargrilled taste a bit burnt but nevertheless not everything can be perfection greenolives while aesthetically pleasing were not the best salty complement to a savory artichoke, lemon rind added flavor but notenough zest. Steak was medium rare cooked, excellent cut and less is more seasoning. Garnished well and complemented themeat. Side of chargrilled Broccoli stems were perfectly blanched and grilled and seasoned. Dessert: what is there to say exceptlight, not overly creamy and delicious definitely worth the guilty pleasure. Who knew banana pudding could be light and notguilty, loved the crumbles of bread and the homemade whipped cream (to kill for). We’ll be back! Read more

The physical space is beautiful and well designed. The food is excellent and would compete well in any major city. The service... keeps me from giving this a full five stars. The design of this place is smart and tasteful. There's some outdoor seating andan outdoor bar. Lots of natural light. Unlike many places in Atlanta, the physical plant isn't ostentatious or pretentious. Thetables are very small and a little close to each other, creating a noisy ambiance. I was sitting with my back towards anothertable about 2-3 feet away and found myself occasionally leaning towards my guests to hear them. I'm a big fan of good bread -you know, the kind that's worth the carbs - and when a restaurant can invest in the care and attention to serving good bread,it's an encouraging omen. This place had really good bread to start the meal. The butter was soft at room temperature. Theoctopus was above average but nothing special. The bone marrow was good according to my friend. The croquettes were better thanmost places - I'm not really a fan of croquettes but these were pretty good. The sea bass was excellent. My friends seem pleasedwith the dessert. The wine was interesting. They had a seemingly good selection, but for some reason my Sauvignon Blanc wassweet. If you know your wines, you're probably confused. I was too. I wondered if they brought me the wrong glass. I ended thenight with a 12-year Japanese whiskey served with a block ice. Our waiter was a nice guy and made an effort. His timing was alittle off at the beginning (seemed impatient) but overall he was excellent. The reason I am not giving this five stars is thatthe evening started with poor service and that was the first topic of conversation at my dinner table. For example, when Iarrived at the restaurant the guy at the front desk basically said "yeah they're over there. Just keep walking and you'll seethem." When I sat down at a table, my friends also commented about how short and uninterested he was Read more

Reservation for 2 on Valentine's Day for the 4-course preset meal with wine pairings. The ambiance was great and the food was... prepared and displayed with creativity. Not sure how the service is normally, but was hoping for a more thorough serviceexperience with details on the chef, the food, and pairings.
