Lazy Betty - Reservar uma mesa

Once in a while, I like to enjoy a unique meal experience I cannot possibly recreate at home. Our dinner at Lazy Betty was one of these. If it were located in one of the cities where the Michelin crew reviews restaurants, it would deserve at the very least one Michelin star and maybe more... Creativity, quality of ingredients, mastery of techniques, harmony of flavors, presentation, it's all there... Flawless service as well. A truly sublime 8 course tasting menu! Descriptions are included with my photos. I highly recommend it to my fellow foodies! Only a couple of caveats for full disclosure: It is an odd choice for the chef to include on a fixed menu a dish of sweetbreads. I do love them but not everyone does and my husband could only eat one bite. The music was rather loud and is definitely curated for a younger hipper generation I am old... Finally, when our waitress volunteered some wine suggestions, she only focused on bottles prices at $200 to $400 (service included but still pricey). We managed to find a bottle we really liked for much cheaper, because we're cheap and prefer to drink expensive wines at home... These comments didn't take anything away from the overall experience though, and this will remain one of the best meals we've had in a long time and a memorable evening.

Lazy Betty is such a refreshing experience compared to other fine dining in Atlanta. They serve upscale fine dining without the stiff bougie airs. The atmosphere is inviting. My partner and I enjoyed an 8 course meal with them a couple weeks ago. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Everyone clearly loves working there and is “in on it”. It seems the staff and kitchen have a healthy relationship, and it shows in the service. They shared excitement introducing the dishes, as I'm sure the kitchen is to prepare them. Shout out to Grumpy!!! The food was beyond. Well thought out dishes with layers of depth in flavors. They used humble ingredients like corn and peas, but prepared them in such fresh and nuanced dishes. Every single dish was magical! Every dish was exciting! The cocktails are magnificent too, specially Just Bee Kind. I would list my favorite dishes, but I honestly cannot pick one. Overall, five stars. I would absolutely dine here again and plan on doing so, with newcomers. Well worth the price. I wouldn't get anything less than the 8 course. If I did, I would be jealous to any table around me if I saw what I was missing out on with the 6 course. Don’t sleep on their wine pairings. I’m excited to try their next season’s menu.

Lazy Betty was an overall great experience. The food was very good, the service friendly and informative. We opted for the 8 course tasting menu. The cocktail program was inventive and unique. The biggest issue with the dinner was the timing between courses. There was a long pause too long between many of the courses. Our table was also next to the service area so it was very distracting. They were accommodating to my dietary restrictions. I was able to order a trout dish in lieu of the rabbit, and a chicken dish instead of the lamb. The standout dishes for me were the Jonah Crab Salad atop a rich brown butter dashi gelee; the Shrimp and Cabbage dumpling and the truffle glazed diver scallop. The chef and kitchen were obviously very talented. I think with better executed timing it would have been an incredible meal.

Full disclosure: I don't have a go to restaurants like this frequently. I'm not this classy. I can't fairly compare to other restaurants that serve me eight courses with wine pairings at this price point. That said, there's a reason I've come here twice. The service is awesome. Everything we ate was fantastic. My fiancé did a wine pairing, I drank three of their cocktails. We were there for a bit over three hours. I went in hungry (it's unlikely you eat more than me, heavily active 200+lb man) and I left satiated despite the serving sizes. We had fun the entire time. Be prepared to spend upwards of $600 for two. You could easily go over that with little effort. Obviously, that's not practical for everyone. We hope to go back for a special occasion annually and budget to do so. It's a great experience.

Best vegetarian fine dining in Atlanta! My boyfriend surprised me with an 8 course meal and wine pairing at the chef’s table and it was both very upscale and relaxed and fun feeling which can be a hard combo to find. They were very accommodating to both my vegetarian restrictions as well as my boyfriend’s food allergies. The food was fantastic and I loved learning from the chef and bartender about each dish and wine pairing. I highly recommended Lazy Betty for a special occasion.
