"I gave this place a cute/generous 4"
"I’m going to be honest"
"Excellent service, drinks and appetizers (did not have entrees)"
"What a let down!! My friends and I (party of 4) dined here tonight (10/23/23) and this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve ever experienced in over 30 years"
"This was my first time patronizing here"
I gave this place a cute/generous 4. The ambience in here is great. The music downstairs in the dining area was A1. And the service was really good! I don’t know if it’s because they just opened or the Keith Lee effect lol but the service was good. Even the manager checked on us through out the night! We had dinner here for my bff birthday! Now the food. The food was okay for me. I had the Bronzino. Mid. lol Middddd for such a flavorful fish. BUT the birthday girl had the NY strip and my other bff had the shrimp salad and they really enjoyed it! The only thing we complained about is honestly, the cost of the food is a little outrageous for what you’re getting. My bill alone ( one person lol) was OVER a $100 for Bronzino, glass of wine and two vegetable (very small) taquitos. Lol CRAZY. And before I arrived my girls said they ordered 28 ceviche that had four chips and was gone in three bites. Lmao!! Ceviche is never suppose to be gone in three bites… I think these restaurants really need to start being more realistic with their pricing, especially for the quality of food they offer. Decorations are cute but dont cut into my pocket for that. If the food is amazing and service/vibes are amazing. You’ll absolutely make your money back. The parking was $20 lmao….didn’t park there. I always think to pay to park is utterly ridiculous. And they charge 20% off the back on your ticket. So just be aware. All and all great experience. I would deff go again! Maybe not to eat a full dinner but have desert ( the chocolate cake & icecream was AMAZING) and to get a drink and go upstairs to their lounge area which was nice. Side note: I love that Atlantians are starting to leave real reviews, so we can get an actual account of establishments and know where and how to spend our hard earned money. Let’s keep it up bc I’m really taking ppls honest reviews to heart.

I’m going to be honest. I came to this restaurant on a Thursday and it was completely empty. The service was good and the food was good. On 10/07/2023 (Friday) I came for a birthday celebration, the food was trash, the service was horrible and it is not worth the money. Here is a breakdown: 1. SELF PARKING IS $30. Luckily there is a garage parking next door for $6 an hour. 2. The drink Bag n bougie is on the menu as a drink to order but that night there was only 2 mirrors so they had to wait until mirrors became available for us to get our drinks. In the middle of drinking she had to collect our mirrors for another table. 3. The server keeps saying it’s an issue of it being a busy night. 4. For a table of 9, our food came out burnt. 5. We asked to speak to the manager. As I lay in my bed and type this review I have yet to see the manager. Overall it is not worth it. The menu is limited with the options, substitutions is not an option and the services is not worth the money. To management : DO BETTER. See the issue here is, many of you want to open establishments in Atlanta to benefit from the black dollar but do not want to actually put in the work to build a successful business. For $30 for parking I should not be served burnt food. I have been to 5 star restaurants across the world and I have never spent $30 on parking, waited 3 hours for my food and drinks. You don’t have to worry about the 9 of us coming back and I will dispute my charge with my corporate bank. We will not pay for trash!

Excellent service, drinks and appetizers (did not have entrees). The manager frequently checked on us throughout the evening, which was welcomed! The vibe and decor was beautiful, and they played an instrumental hip hop/R&B style of jazz that was different and appealing. The volume was set at the right level, we didn't have a hard time hearing conversations at the table. I rated a 3 because 1) it's truly a shame that the restaurant charges $20 to self park. I am so jaded by this notion that I wouldn't return to any restaurant that does this, in their own parking lot. Seems like a 'nickel and dime' or 'make money any way you can' experience to me. I would like to feel a bit more valued than that. 2) Gratuity was added to the check for 2 diners. As I have said in several other reviews, I do not agree with adding gratuity to cover expenses of restaurant operations. I woukd rather you charge more for food so that you can pay your staff their worth. Gratuity/tip has to be earned. In this case, it was warranted, but I want to be the one to decide how much to pay, not the restaurant, especially for a party of only 2. Again, I will not return.

What a let down!! My friends and I (party of 4) dined here tonight (10/23/23) and this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve ever experienced in over 30 years. Between the drinks and food, we sent a total of 5 things back. The server was kind but at one point told us “I just work here”. The so called Manager (dressed in biker shorts and a t-shirt) came over to our table to apologize 6 separate times but took nothing off our bill. They impose a 20% gratuity. Avoid this place! They’re lacking a knowledgeable bartender (at these prices) and a Chef than can at least get a salad right. They’re simply not ready to be in business and do not deserve our hard earned money. Highly not-recommended!

This was my first time patronizing here. It was a bad experience from the beginning. The promoters they have false advertised and charged prior to arrival. They didn’t open until 4pm but Eventbrite stated 12-8. The IG post stated it doesn’t open at 3pm. The real time was 4pm. We waited until they opened and everything continued to go downhill. We ordered shrimp and grits and after 45 minutes of waiting, we canceled the order. We asked for a manger. The manager proceeds to grab her purse to go to the store instead of following up on our request to connect on the experience. I will never ever ever ever EVER come back to this establishment again.

High Society is a cute spot with great food and service, but they will charge you for ALL of it. It must have been ladies' night because there were only women there. I had the bravas and shrimp appetizers and, for dinner, the lobster pasta. All the food was a 10/10. I had the Bag and Bougie. It's a look, but the drink was sweet and light. It wasn't my favorite at all. The menu is short, but they have something for everyone (vegetarians/vegans, meat eaters, and seafood lovers). Be aware that they will charge you a 20% tip. My bill for all of that was about $200.

They have yummy veg friendly options through the menu.
Omg, I’m so glad High Society replaced big sky and if you haven’t seen High Society yet, I suggest making a visit. First, the decor was sexy and upscale with 2 outdoor patios, a huge upstairs bar and cute main dining area! I visited for brunch service and can’t wait to return for dinner service. The service was great and the staff was so sweet & accommodating! Now, my highlight was the cocktail menu which was filled with perfectly crafted drinks with instagrammable presentations. You have to ask for Sharae! Every drink she made was a 10/10! The brunch was bomb and flavorful! The food came out fast even when it was super busy. I’d highly recommend checking them out!
Tha ambiance was beautiful but the food was 10 thumbs down! We ordered 2 New York Strip's that tasted like they had watered down tomato sauce on them that they claimed was a red wine sauce. It had no seasoning! Another person in our party of 10 had mussels that tasted like they was smothered in the same sauce. When speaking to management she was rude and argumentative. She left saying that she would see what she could do and never returned to try to make things better. The asparagus tasted burnt. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

First time here and glad we came. Came for my birthday for brunch and it was a vibe. Decorated so nicely, sleek and upscale. Live dj was good, played some good music. Our server was great and never let my mimosa get low!! I had the chicken and waffle sliders and bottomless mimosas. Those mimosas were so good, and made just right (more champagne than juice). My husband had the breakfast burrito and said it was good. My food was good. I enjoyed everything about this place. I'd go back and definitely recommend!

Overall 3 stars. The decor, atmosphere & drinks were all amazing. I went on a Thursday evening (slowest night per the waitress Asia) with a group of 5 and we were the only patrons for at least 1.5 hours. The service was VERY slow an inattentive which is a big selling point for me at an establishment. I really dislike having to ask my waitress/waiter to clear the table of empty glasses and/or plates multiple times. I think the place has great potential and would come back to give it another chance.

My waitress was really great. I don’t remember her name but she has a butterfly tattoo. My only complaint is the portion size on the food. They gave me an extremely tiny amount of rice for a large fish. I mentioned that the serving was small to the food runner and he bought me a plate of rice. (I didn’t request him to.) When I got my bill they charged me $6 for it, but thankfully my waitress removed it. The side of vegetables was extremely sour..too much lime. The fish however was really good.

The decor was nice, the service was very kind too, but I do think it’s very pricey. There is not a lot of options on the menu and the cocktails are $$$$$, it’s a good “instagram” place, but for the price we would expect tastier plates. There was this huge boxing fight the night we were there and the sound was excessive, later on the sound system broke down and we were stunned for >1minute.

99% of these reviews are from when the restaurant was Big Sky. Big Sky had awesome food! The bottomless and brunch was the BEST!! My friends and I used to go almost every weekend. Literally anyone would rather go to a buckhead village restaurant if they want to pay these prices. I’m strongly hoping that this place adds the $19 bottomless back with good brunch. If you miss Big Sky’s good food and fun go to the Ivy.

Unexpectedly great food, fantastic service and good atmosphere. Enjoyed the time there. Happened to go on trivia night which was fun. Forgot the bartenders name, but he was really good and took care of us out of towners. Ordered the fried Mac and Cheese. Did not expect this level of food from this place so it made it so much better. Others in our party ordered the steak bowl and loaded nachos. Everyone said the food was amazing. Glad we went here.
Decor and service were top tier! I also enjoyed my drinks. The food was ok though. It was the weekend and brunch hours so we ordered off the brunch menu. I got the Belgian waffle and chicken sliders and the waffle was pink(which was cute) BUT rubbery. The chicken lacked flavor as well. I’m willing to try again when they are serving tapas and dinner to see if the food is better.

Went on a Monday. Quiet & Chill. The only reason I gave the food a 3 is because majority of the food on the menu they didn’t have. It’s like share that with all guest before they sit down. The waiter was amazing she went above and beyond. Made my bday honestly with the picture in my drink.

Steak
This place was pretty dead for a Friday night but that didn’t stop us from dining in. The food was literally so good & cooked SO well. I had the whole branzino. The blue corn taquitos weren’t really stuffed- that’s probably my only con about the food. The drinks were also tasty. Service was great also. GRATUITY IS ALREADY INCLUDED ON YOUR TAB BY THE WAY.

My visit to high society was amazing, from the food to the atmosphere. Chrisiah was my server and she made my whole evening with her beautiful energy. She ordered for me and picked the steak and eggs and potatoes. I walked out belly full and so satisfied.

Cute place service was good. But the food and drinks were grossly over priced. We also went up to the rooftop lounge and the drinks were also overpriced and served is cheap plastic cups. I had a French 75 which was on the rooftop menu….. would only recommend for drinks not food

Cute spot off in the cut. Drinks were good and food was decent. We went for brunch and ordered the steak and eggs. Steak was cooked well done but ordered medium That aside, I'd still recommend it for brunch. I'm interested in trying the dinner menu someday.

Great staff, excellent service, and a nice, chic ambiance. Main issue is it seems out of place in the bar-hopping/club row neighborhood it's in, especially with the higher priced cocktail, which are delicious. Worth checking out, especially for a decent splurge.

Shrimp & Grits
Such a shame to see what the new ownership has done. Big Sky was by far the best in class for brunch in the city. They no longer offer bottomless. Their “cocktails” are small and overpriced. They do NOT allow dogs anymore. They have lost the business of everyone I know. #bringbackbottomless More
The atmosphere was a vibe! Perfect for a girls night out or a date night! The music was great and so was the decor. My food was just alright! The rice was NOT good to me, the chicken was good tho. Great staff overall! The food could have been better , but had a good time!
Fun place, the food was decent in the atmosphere was fun.came at the start of the night so there was no wait on getting in. Centrally located to all the other bars in the area. Recommend coming by and grabbing a bite to eat before you go out for the night.
Great southern brunch. Waitress Lex was super nice and helpful. I asked her to choose my meal she recommended the Bloody Mary and the Southern Benny, which is fried chicken on a biscuit with tomato and spinach topped with a poached egg and
The experience was amazing. I most definitely will be back. Chrisiah was amazing and very helpful. All of her recommendations was on point. The shrimp and grits was so amazing.

This newly redesigned restaurant is elegant. I liked the environment and music while we enjoyed the new menu. The staff and service were great but I am sure it will become one of the best in Buckhead, very soon. More
Best brunch in Atlanta! Good drink options. Friendly staff. They always have fun events and music. Recently had dinner there, was very impressed! Bacon shrimp appetizer was amazing and BBQ tacos were very flavorful.
We had Bionca with the most high spirit energy that made the experience amazing. She even made a drink they wasn't even offering at the time. So fun. Will come again cause she made it feel so good to be here
Food was decent but service was very slow. Went for brunch, although there wasn’t many customers service was slow. When we needed something we couldn’t find our waitress or get any to help.
This was my first time here and the experience was amazing. The food, service and DJ was amazing. Black owned...please support.
