Reviews for Longleaf Restaurant in Atlanta, GA
We stopped at Longleaf after a long day in the Botanical Gardens. We made a reservation on OpenTable for 5 (including two kids),... which was fairly easy. The reputation of this place proceeded it, which was part of the reason I was so excited to try it. Thefood was really good, especially the kids meals, which were small and affordable yet interesting and well thought out. I got aChicken Caesar salad and it was delicious. It was also presented very well and reminded me from of something from a much fancierrestaurant than a botanical gardens cafe. The downside of this place was the service, we waited for over 30 minutes for ourmeal. This would have been less of a problem if we were not dining with two young kids. They did bring out the kids meals firstand I appreciated this thoughtfulness. All in all, this a gem. It's a great place for a date or a fancy lunch. Don't expectgood service though. It seems to be poorly staffed at the moment. Read more
I had an early dinner here today and I must say the salmon sandwich was one of the best I?ve ever eaten. My daughter had the... burger and I had a piece of it and it was very good also. Our waiter was having a hard time with our table. But he kept his headup and made the best of it. We made fun of all the mishaps and hoped he relaxed. My family and I left him a good tip for beingprofessional and not letting our service get the best of him. Read more
Had an amazing experience for my mothers 81st birthday this weekend. The service the food and the drinks were all top-notch.... They are just as short staffed as everyone else during Covid? But it didn?t show in the quality of the food or the kindness ofthe servers? and my goodness order drinks at the bar! We had about four rounds of the spicy Paloma. Amazing.. we had the shrimpand grits, the steak, And almost every appetizer on the menu. Recommend everything! Read more
Staff were extremely kind and friendly and the dining experience was lovely overall. The food was fresh and delicious, if pricy.... The peach cobler with ice cream tasted home made and was phenomenal. I really enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking at thegardens as I ate. Read more
First I have to give a shout out to Ansley the bartender and at the time our server. Phenomenal drinks, great recommendations I... ordered an aperitif that tasted so clean, refreshing and slightly sweet and I could?ve just drank five of those! Wonderfullymixed and such a great recommendation for someone who doesn?t like fruity drinks. My friend ordered a drink w/ a flower in itwhich turned out to be semi sweet although the after taste was a puzzle. I got the salmon burger and for the first time in mylife I got salmon perfectly cooked, flavorful and fall apart buttery soft in my mouth. The bun was perfectly crispy that I endedup eating the entire thing which I hardly ever do. The sweet potato fries were thick and lightly salted so it was truly anenjoyable meal. I asked for extra fries and I basically got another serving. They were also good the next day. He got theshrimp and grits and was immensely pleased with his choice and as the grits were renown for their texture. The shrimp wereperfectly seasoned and not over cooked so they were soft as well. Truly a great meal. Coming back for those aperitifs! Read more
Although I've been coming to the garden for years this was my first time at Longleaf but it certainly won't be my last. Amazing... food, good service and friendly waitstaff. Upscale but not pretentious. I recommend the garden veggie plate. Read more
Excellent staff members and quite the location to dine in! But if you are going just for eating then be prepared to pay entrance... ticket as well. The food, the ambiance, the setting is great at longleaf restaurant. When we arrived on the weekend, it waspacked with customers but the food still came out in reasonable time tasting delicious. Definitely recommend! Read more
The atmosphere is what brought us to Longleaf. We were at the garden and started to get hungry. We're used to museums having... food that's about average so we figured this would be about the same, we were wrong! This food is not your typical museum tierfood, this is higher end restaurant food. We ordered a hummus platter for rhe table which I expected to be small, it was not. Itcame out very large with fresh vegetables that looked like they might have been grown at the garden. I ordered the mixedvegetables which I expected to be underwhelming, but again was not. My girlfriend ordered a chicken sandwich which was presentedextremely well and she said it was delicious. I can attest to the fries as well. Everything was great, not your typicalmuseum/garden restaurant! Read more
