One of our party is quadriplegic; we called ahead and the manager was super helpful in assuring us the restaurant would accommodate his needs. It was an excellent experience from start to finish. Just a little too loud.

There are many fine restaurants in Atlanta but what distinguishes them in my mind is the service and Le Bibloquet has taken it to a new level when they brought on Gordon / one of the servers - today for example because he knows us he asked if we’d like to have our favorite drinks sitting at the table when we arrived - That’s over the top customer service in my mind !!
