Cat head vodka martini. Dressed crab with a thin green pea soup. I had the best fowl in my entire life. Legs braised. White meat broiled with a crispy skin. The best.

Every single thing about our family dinner here was wonderful. My adult family started with cocktails -- the whiskey cocktail had awesome compressed ice so the drink did not dilute quickly. Martini and specialty drinks perfect. The caviar appetizer was splendid (we shared and all got a little more than a taste). Then we moved onto perfect entrees (the vegetable... More

A wonderful restaurant best suited for true foodies. Avoid the seafood at all costs and enjoy the exemplary service, salads, and beef.

So, my sister is graduating from Emory so this is her graduation dinner. We, (my family), made reservations for six 'o' clock at Eugene. We get there and the waiter gets us water and some cocktails and wine. The drinks were fabulous and the wine, (well, I don't like wine but my family said it was good). We then received... More

In Atlanta for a convention and was looking for a top shelf restaurant. My online research led me to Eugene. I went with a friend from Italy and another from NY. We opted for the chefs tasting with wine pairing. All of the initial dishes, including the amuse bouche, started out sweet. We also opted for the supplemental foie gras.... More

We are foodies who enjoy great meals across North America. My family may disagree (they liked it, but not as much as I did), but I found this to be one of the best meals I've had. Definitely top five. Ambiance is terrific, very elegant. Our waiter Stephen was spot on perfect, as was the general manager, who enlightened us... More

First let me say that I had been wanting to try Restaurant Eugene for years. The chef, Linton Hopkins, has received numerous awards so I could not wait to try the restaurant. It has consistently been listed as one of "the restaurants" to try in Atlanta. Pros: - The restaurant has nice decor inside. Inside it is smaller than I... More

Excellently prepared food. A ramp tempura with shave spring asparagus was perfect. Farro with wild mushrooms in the style of risotto was serious. This is a place that excels with its vegetarian fare. The duck was also nicely done. The wine list and the wine steward were up to the level expected of a first rate restaurant. Don't miss this... More

This was our very special night out in Atlanta and we had the tasting menu. Always one of our favourites and this did not disappoint. Alongside the Chef's amuse bouches and just a fabulous array of food from snapper to Squab all perfectly flavoured. The service was inpeccable to the drinks at the bar to our waiter and I would...
